Star wars trilogy and characters belong to george Lucas and Disney I own nothing except my own oc's.

It had been almost an entire year since my indoctrination into the Jedi Order yet things were still going well enough, i suppose. I haven't been alowed to return to since i had left halfway into my first year.

My personal meditation sessions with Yoda have been getting deeper and have revealed a deeper insight to my personal problems, Even though i felt we were both sitting in a closet doing an excellent job at gathering dust, I was in fact looking forward to today I was allowed some physical practice since the last time i been banned from practice, After i was told by Yoda where todays classroom would be held. I went ahead and arrived very early today. Since i was allowed to practice with my group today I felt extra excitement of gaining more stats. Since i been out of practice for a while i think that i would be taking things slowly today.

The rest of my class would within the next few months transition into learning a second form. Like I had learned soresu. They had gotten better at the use of Shii-Cho since i was last here. They all had clearly gotten used to their bodies all of them becoming flexible and making better use of there overall peak fitness. Overall they just seemed better since i had left working Shii-Cho almost to completion. Arriving inside i had already started gaining xp just by watching the class preform their final set until the master had spoken and all at once they had stopped.

A young girl from the crowd that had been in practice went up to me and issued a challenge. I was shocked that someone would want to spar even though I've been out of practice for a while now. I was surprised when the masters allowed a challenger to well challenge me to combat. The masters who were looking had allowed the challenge to take place.

The twi'lek girl Aayla was the current best duelst in our class. She had actually mastered Shii-Cho in the time i had been away and had wanted a chance to challenge me. I was allowed to use both forms that i known about, she began by taunting me playing into the fact that i was known as a hothead please small taunts like that only make you look dumb. she was very forward with the taunts and circling my position.

After the initial duel procedures something like in naruto where we would hold two fingers up. This was actually different it was like holding an edge while we powered on our training sabers. We stared into each others eyes allready predicting each others movement in advance and in real time to compensate. This was the sort of edge that began to form almost like two great beasts were going to begin to fight.

Aayla had struck first without hesitation and she showed great promise that she in fact mastered Shii-Cho. But my soresu was a quicker defensive her strike was textbook my strike was balanced but in all seriousness the masters had decided on giving me a lesson in humility because she was good enough to keep up.

I would say that we were evenly matched i would also say that the match should have already been over a long time ago, but no here we still are. once i started to push her back she would gain an advantage in blade work then i would be the one back peddling and defensive again Her grace and agility were both impressive not to mention her footwork just pushing past my guard.

She would sidestep any blows i would launch then strike while my sword was down. In all honesty I could barely defend. Once I missed and she came for retribution what would happen would be that my instincts would auto activate and block her blade. some how i wouldn't know how i did it but my body would just block for me even when her blows could had struck true.

Form three was in it's own way a very defensive stance. I almost couldn't believe how well it protected me almost as much as i couldn't believe how my body protected me.

After deflecting a three strike combo that should have for all purposes ended me. We had held a standstill for a while as we had both stood still trying to recover our stamina. This time she had began to strike repeatedly, i was gaining experience on her and she knew it.

I was both gaining xp in my form one and in form three while she was only getting practice in combating Soresu. Our abilities with the sword had been improving with in our spar her getting to feel my form three and my own improvements.

I blocked and counter attacked blow for blow, any single one of them could have been enough to end the spar. But she had been nimble enough to dodge. Sparing in the temple similarly enough was almost exactly like fencing a single hit and you would lose a point but we had been fighting for long enough that it would be considered an out.

Lightsaber combat is dangerous a single hit could lose you a leg, an arm, or a head but these were lightsabers made for practice so they wouldn't leave much besides a small burn.

The twi'lek girl while really good at Shii-Cho only practiced the one stance, my own style encompassed two Shii-Cho and Soresu but while i wasn't as good i still wasn't limited. We had both began sweating profusely neither one of us had been able to get a clean hit in.

My defensive stance and my offensive stance were slowly overwhelming the Young twi'lek. Split seconds defending only to get suddenly within her guard and i was starting to push her back again.

Almost every swing had been a close swipe every one of them the decisive blow. We had both been drenched in sweat. I watched as she sidestepped gracefully and could now see why twi'lek women were so saught after and my monkey brain just activated. That neuron in my head turned on suddenly distracting me as she swung down on my head. Her final desperate swing broke through my guard landing the first blow.

After a while of both of us just catching our breathe. she had started to smile and laugh and had even given me a well faught.

The masters watching were silently conversing on our potential and growth and had given me permission to return on the condition that i stay on the same lessons as the rest of the class.

They were impressed by me but still they couldn't just have a single student get too far ahead that just leads to the darkside. It would start to matter less and less as time went on and further in our lessons since we would start to learn other saber forms. Whats two or six froms matter all things considered in the grand scope of things.

The other students had both gained confidence by watching us and lost it at the same time watching us fight against each other. Both of us having gained value in our spar that we could practice with other younglings.

All the younglings had been in awe that i had been able to keep up with aayla's movements since she was the top student. aala had been very motivated once she had learned that i had been stripped of my right to learn swordsmanship. she'd actually became jealous of my proficiency with a blade. She had wanted to beat me and prove to me that her goal for the longest time was being the best. Not only did she do that she had also couldn't stop herself from celebration.

She hadn't understood why our masters would stop my practice. But now, i think, she did, i was simply good - too good to be kept in class and it showed. It had all been enough to think about that i wouldn't go down easy. I was only starting to get better. If her final blow hadn't of been so desperate i could have won. she could have lost just by through shear exhaustion. Both of us were very tired on our lat leg but we were allowed back into our rooms to rest with food being brought over.

Yoda had talked to several masters about Zet and intrest had started to be shown around Aayla as well. Both of them were simply the cream of the crop as both had shown great talent and any master should be glad to teach either of them. Some masters had more respect and were given first dibs but thats just how jedi politics usually work.

Great talent they show. yes but its still too soon for them. more Jedi had shown intrest but sometimes the force would choose the padawan for you. A certain green Jedi had looked on in intrest as Zet nursed a small burn on his head.
