I established dominance among my snobby roommates which was a chore in itself as they kept saying their families’ power will crush me. As soon as I was done showing my roommates how things will work in this room. I went exploring. This place was massive. Not bigger than the temple of course but still massive. I touch my pocket to make sure I took my tablet. I go to the cafeteria to fill up my virtual stomach. Then I go to the gym to go through my echani moves to try to get more experience.

I continue my training for a few hours and then go back to my room. I only got a 2 percent increase. Sparring is much faster.

I go to my room and sleep peacefully.

I wake up at six due to the stupid tablet. It was beeping ever so loudly. I throw it with all my might and it still didn’t break.

I equipped my republic clothes and headed to unarmed combat.

The class structure is weird here. The classes you major in are longer then the classes you minor in.So I will be spending most of my time on close combat.

I enter the classroom just 13 seconds late.

“You’re late student. Run around the gym 5 times.”

I start running.

“As I was saying before the latecomer intruded. My name is master Syrena. You will call me by nothing else.”

“For today I will pair you up with another person of your class. Then once I see who is where I will pair you up based on how close you are in level.”

She sorted me and a random person from my year. He looked confident. The fool.

Even after running around the gym a few times. I still knocked him out with one punch to the gut.

Then Syrena (aka ashveela) pointed at me and said.

“You fight Grupen my teacher’s aide.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

I see who’s protesting to see who I’m fighting. He has a face you want to punch. Oh this will be fun.

He is still complaining.

“I was last year’s star pupil. This kid is a first year.”

“And what I’m saying is that you are close in level to each other. In fact he’s a bit stronger. And that if you want to be my aide I shouldn’t have to say things twice. Now go.”

He grumbles his way to me.

We wait for the signal and start.

He tried the good old sweep the leg. It was pointless as battle precog is a passive. I jumped and landed a good distance away from him. He comes again with the intent to strike a fist to the face. Before he does I clothesline him. He gets up and tries to go for a tackle by going low. i knee him in the face.

My abilities are suited for fighting opponents more powerful than me. so he stood no chance.

This continued for a while until the teacher stopped us.

“It seems I was wrong in my first assessment. Maybe he should be the teacher’s aide Mr. Grupen.”

Everybody laughs.

“I was going easy on him.”

“No Mr. Grupen it was he who was going easy on you. He didn’t use one piece of technique from any martial art I know of.”

Of course I didn’t I was having fun.

He looks at me with hate. And I smile at him.

“Don’t worry I do rankings not by skill but by seniority. Now will you do your job as a teacher’s aide our will I have to tell to do this by demoting you?”

He was properly humiliated.

“No master Syrena.”

“Good. Continue.”

We fought for a while but every now and then when thought ashveela wasn’t watching he would try to go for a move that shouldn’t be used on another student. I made him pay heavily for each one.

By the end of sparring time he was beaten like a sack of meat.

“Next time don’t take so much out on him in the beginning. Your name was?

“Lile.”

“and Grupen next time don’t aim for critical hits you can’t make our you get punished like so.”

He looked ashamed and furious at the same time.

Ashveela was really making me look good. I guess that’s part of the mission.

The next part of class was solo work where we drill through our moves. Well everyone except me.

“you Lile will spar with me during this time as I do not feel that sparring you did was enough to push yourself. We wouldn’t want that talent to go to waste would we?”

At least it’s good practice. But it’s also going to be exhausting.

“alright.” Thus commences one of the longest hours of my life. Man I wish I could use the force.

After the hour was up we stopped. Lastly we did exercises like running, ground drills, and lastly stretching.

“good job today students. I see real potential here. Your dismissed. Lile stay behind.”

When everybody left she motioned me to give her my tablet. I did and she put them in a box turned a little switch and started talking.

“today at night you will the people I suspect to be hiding the element. First is the science teacher. Most of his time is unaccounted for. Second the tactical combat teacher. He has a group of students who are tight nit about something. The last suspect is the principal. This is happening under his roof so it is unlikely he is not involved somehow. For today focus on the science teacher. Any questions?”

“um what are you doing with our tablets?”

“This is in case the principal turns out to be our man. I recorded your voice on the way here and mine to create simulated conversations. The worst they can believe now is that we’re having teacher student relations.”

“How very…..thorough?”

She paid no mind to my tone.

“Thank you. Any other questions?”

This is weird. I need to get out of here.

“Nope.”

“go to your next class then.”

My next class was weapon instruction.

I will have no trouble there I mean come on I was a space pirate.

I enter.

“Your late do 100 pushups.”

Damn it. Am I going to be late to every class?

“As I was saying today you will choose the weapon that suits you the most. My senior apprentices will help you in your choice.”

When I was done a girls was waiting for me.

“Hi my name is kiera I will be helping you choose your weapon.”

She was a player. She was also stunning. Not that that mattered .My interaction with the females has left something to be desired. It’s always “you’re a psychopath” or “you don’t have a clue about relationships” and my favorite “your too good at everything for me to be with you.” what? That last one is true too!! Shut up. Fuck you.

Sigh anyway she shows me to the weapon rack and hands me a weapon. It’s a bryar pistol. It looked sexy.

I head to the range and fire four shots. They all missed awfully. What the hell was wrong with me?

I checked my hands then my settings.

Ahh it’s that damn gun auto assist. I turn it off. And fire again. I hit the targets head, heart, stomach, and penis. The last one is a pirate oldie but goodie. Beautiful. Kiera is looking at me like I’m a cheater. I smile.

I don’t like that weapon though. It’s no fun. I go look for something more physical.

There was a Z-6 jet pack. Come on it may not be for me but what self respecting star wars fan wouldn’t try it. Although kiera was trying to discourage me by saying it needs years of training to be able to use one. I won’t be discouraged. I put on my back (with help from kiera) and turn it on.

It was awesome I love it. I was never a mage as I think the class to be weak and incompetent so I never flew in other games. Well there was that time I was catapulted but that doesn’t count.

From watching the movies and reading the books this could be a drawback as much as an advantage. So I put it back.

Then I saw it. It screamed “take me” in my head.

It looked beautiful. Unfortunately it was in a glass case.

I ask kiera

“What is this?”

“That is a blastsword.”

“How do I get it?”

“You don’t.”

I looked like I just stepped in shit.

“whyyyyyy?”

“it’s reserved for weapons major’s and people who pass the simulation.”

“Can I try the simulation?”

She thought about it.

“Let me ask the supervising officer.”

She went while I stared at it. When she came back her face looked dejected damn it.

“He said sure but you might have to skip a bit of lunch.”

“What’s the simulation like.”

“It gives you a scenario and you have to act accordingly.”

“How many people pass the simulation?”

“Don’t worry you won’t.”

“why not?”

“Only one or two pass every year. And that is with repeated tries. 12 tries is the lowest count we have.”

Please I used to be a space pirate. I’ve invaded planets. This is nothing.

I continue searching the rack for weapons I might use in the simulation.

In the end I just chose a bryar gun and a vibrosword for classes.

Before I take the simulation my bryar gun was filled with stun rounds and my vibro sword was exchanged for a dummy saber.

I entered the simulation room.

It changed into a spaceship hallway.

A guy tried to shoot me by using surprise as a factor I shot him in the head. It was a stun round so he’s not going to die. Probably. A guy appeared from an entrance I shot him while a girl was closing in from far away while shooting at me with awful aim. Before the man I shot falls I use him as cover to shoot the girl in the head with one shot. Another one appears behind me and I kick him in his tentacle. I pick up their ammo, weapons, and flash-bangs. I keep the guy I’m using as cover in my front killing all the people by headshot.

This is why guns are boring .sure it has tactics and aim and timing. But it ends too quickly if you’re on the wrong end of the gun. No fun at all.

Using this method I was getting near the command center. There were thirteen people guarding the door. I throw a grenade I picked up. It was a stun one. I shoot them while they’re disoriented .all in the head.

I enter the command center and see a man who was using a sword .he threw it. I thought there were no force sensitive’s in this school. Damn it.

I quickly moved out of the way.

Then I observe closer and there is a thin string connecting the sword and the humanoid. There was a machine type sound when the saber came back to the owner. Phew he’s a phony.

I shoot him but he has a personal energy shield.

He throws it again. I shoot it away this time. He quickly winds his sword back in his hand throws it again. I shoot it away again and I go up close. This time he tried to strike me with the sword. But I could see it. I knock it away with my gun. I underestimated the power behind the strike and my gun flew away. He goes for another one but I knock it away with my bracers and elbow him in the gut. I hit something hard and metal. I hit my funny bone it was painful and giddy. I backed away and got my sword again. He didn’t try to throw it anymore. I got up close again with the sword. He was good swordsman. Coupled with the fact that he’s as hard as steel it was hard to see an image of winning. I back up again and get my gun back. I had an idea.

Personal energy shields are weak against anything not energy. I holster my gun and get up close again. This time I go for a grenade turn it on while fighting. It’s beeping. He sees what I’m trying to do and backs up. I don’t let him. It blows up. We both get hit. I try to shoot him because sense we were in the personal energy shield it malfunctioned. Though I’m still a bit groggy I shot him.

I WIN BITCH.

Phew that was actually really really hard. Why would they do that to a first year?

I get out met by stares of disbelief.

I stop caring as soon as I saw the blastsword.

“can I take this now?.”

“S…sure.”

A guy unlocked the glass and gives me the blast sword. I equip it to my back. it feels right.

Unfortunately the time that took up was enormous. I was already late for my next class. Which was actually ashveela’s class. Damn she’s going to make me run again. I am actually tired.

“since I passed your simulation can you give me a note to my next class.”

“uumm ….ok”

“thanks.”

I hurry to the classes. And open the door.

“run 10 laps.”

“but I have a note.”

“excuses. Go run 10 laps.”

Dammn iiit.

Pov Midas

I just returned. To korriban. Jedi are very hard to outmaneuver.

I enter Darth Voth’s chambers.

“Welcome back midas. I thought you dead.”

“almost master.”

“oohh don’t call me that yet. In your absence I started to train a new disciple. As I thought you were dead.”

Crap.

“Do not worry. We will settle this like sith. He will come and fight you. And the survivor takes the place.”

“Come tyrannical”

“Yes master.”

“I JUST SAID NOT TO CALL ME THAT!!!”

The man started burning where he stood until he was just ash in the wind.

Then he had a cheerful face on.

“Welcome back my disciple. Did you put the element in place?”

“Yes….master.”

“Good.”

“All we do know is plan more. soon we will overthrow the emperor.”

“When will you teach me what you did to him?”

I point at the ash that used to be a person.

“Why not now.”

Midas smiles
