Outside the classroom, Cady leans against the wall and lets out the breath she was holding.
<span class="mu-i">
I don't think I can talk to anyone right now!
</span>
The door slides open next to her and Yobbu slithers out. Cady is already gone, sprinting through the commissary on the way to her room.
Her stomach gurgles when she sees the ration tank.
<span class="mu-i">
Am I seriously going to hide out while I eat my lunch?
</span>
(She took a tray of ration mush to her room.)
The midday break is almost over by the time she's finished pacing back in front of her door. She makes one more pass and then stops and takes a deep breath.
<span class="mu-i">
It was just a Force-training exercise! I'm sure Deline won't even remember it happened!
</span>
The other students are all outside when Cady steps through the back doorway of the academy building and into the bright afternoon sun. Deline is on the far side of the ring, her back to the others.
<span class="mu-i">
Oh God, is she planning on killing everyone?
</span>
Harn's rumbling voice draws everyone's attention. "Before we begin, I'd like to see something." He withdraws his lightsaber hilt from the fold of his robe and ignites the blue blade. "Yobbu, spar with me."
Yobbu nods at Harn and lazily waves one hand. Yun scurries around his bulk and unclasps a satchel and then she holds up a lightsaber hilt in front of Yobbu. He stares intently at the lightsaber hilt in Yun's hands and then it rises up into the air and the orange blade ignites as it rotates toward Harn.
"Oh? A ranged lightsaber style? Very interes-" Before Harn can finish, the orange blade whirls at him. Harn raises his own lightsaber just in time to block it but the strike drives his feet back. The orange lightsaber pivots and strikes at Harn from behind and he blocks it with a lunging overhead swing that makes him grunt. The other blade flips and swings down again at Harn's side, then his back again. This time he almost doesn't block it.
Harn shoves his heel into the ground and springs forward out from beneath the other lightsaber at Yobbu but the humming blade flies directly toward his head and Harn has to turn to block it. The next blow knocks him sideways and then the orange blade is floating in front of Yobbu again.
"I've seen enough." Harn lowers his lightsaber. "You are truly formidable."
Cady glances at Harn's nametag and her eyes widen.
<span class="mu-i">
He used 60 Force points and Yun only used 10? Is she some kind of lightsaber prodigy? Now that I think about it, there's a Twi'lek girl in L+L who almost always appears late in the game as an evil Force user. She's a walking death flag who always uses an insta-kill attack at the end of the fight. The game requires a party member to be sacrificed by blocking the attack in order to defeat her. Was her probability of appearing in L+L actually linked to Yobbu somehow?
</span>
Cady blinks and sees Yun is looking at her.
>I never got your name!
>Don't you think that's cheating?
>Maybe I should introduce you to Deline...
