The hallway is clear, and it's good that she is using the Force, because this droid is much faster than the last, and harder to read. It has twelve styles of attack, and will mix and match depending on what she seems to do well against.

... Well, she wanted to learn! She's learning now!

She does not immediately get her ass handed to her, which is good, but she clearly has a lot of work to do.

She focuses on defense, again, and how to properly respond to each of the twelve styles of attack. Once she has that, she works on how to defend herself more efficiently, to use up less energy in movement so she's less winded.

She's probably going to get tired before she gets to attacking it.

Yeah, this thing doesn't have an "Off" switch. It just keeps coming.

Even if she darts far enough out of its reach to be out of range of its sword, and drops her guard?

Even so. Sith: Not Known For Rewarding Weakness^tm

Of course not. Why was she expecting this to be reasonable and care about her education and welfare. Her guard goes back up.

That's fine, though. She doesn't have to play fair.

She considers using lightning, but she's pretty sure that is the closest thing she has to literally channeling hatred through her soul. She'll keep it in mind as an option, but she'd rather not. So that means she has to get more creative. Force speed might get her around its defense, and Force strength might let her beat it into submission with raw power, but if either of those mess up she'll likely get sliced open. And she'd prefer to avoid getting hurt if she can manage it, she doesn't know what the medical care's like here. It might be 'rub dirt on it and walk it off' for all she knows. Mind tricking the droid is just - not happening, it's a droid. Maybe she could potentially screw up some of its internal processes, but she has no idea how those work, and would need the Force to check, and that'll take time. And meanwhile, she's getting more and more exhausted.

She keeps her defense up, considering what to do and reviewing all of the things she's learned. ... The book on acrobatics said that she wasn't moving her legs, she was moving the Force that was moving her legs. Which stands to reason that she can potentially move things that aren't hers.

The next time the droid attacks her, she reaches out and tries to throw off its aim.

Its sword slices through the air about half a meter to her left.

Nariveth grins.

She waits for its next slice, throws off its aim even more, and then neatly stabs through it.

Bzzzt. The droid falls over.

{INTERMEDIATE TRAINING COMPLETED}

Danger senses... tingling! Now would be a good time to move forward very quickly!

She doesn't question it. She moves forward very quickly!

Just in time to avoid the sword of the Twi'lek scything through a plane that would have neatly bisected her.

The human girl follows him into the room, closing the door behind her. She draws her weapon as well, and they spread out so as to come at her from both sides, grim expressions on their faces.

What.

What!

"What," she says, stunned, voicing her thoughts.

"If we kill you, the overseer will let us leave," says the girl.

"Bullshit, he's lying," says Nariveth, immediately. But - is he? He might not be, that makes a lot of sense if he wants to get his apparent favored candidate through, just to show up Lord Occlus and go nyeh nyeh, your favored candidate didn't get through.

"Even so," says the Twi'lek, beginning to circle around her. "One less for us to worry about later." The girl nods in tight-lipped agreement.

"Oh, so at the very end you get the joy of killing each other? I'm not the big idiot, I don't want to kill you, I've been looking for a way to get you off of Korriban!"

She keeps her distance, but it's hard to avoid getting boxed in with two opponents.

The Twi'lek growls and moves in to attack. The girl blocks Nariveth's retreat. He's as fast as the last droid, but not quite as imaginative in varying his attacks.

She can keep up with him, she was doing it before with the droid. As long as the girl doesn't join in she can just play the parry game.

"How else do you see this going?! Why do you think he's having you aim for me?! I am not the acolyte he wants me to be! Stop trying to kill me I want to help you!"

"I don't believe you," he grinds out. "Now, Sen!" Here comes the girl, aiming a flurry of strikes at Nariveth's back.

She was expecting this, and Sen gets to have a little problem with her footwork in the realm of 'suddenly having one foot pull forward so she goes falling backwards.'

"Okay," says Nariveth, "then how about this: do you really think you can take me?!"

This prompts a frustrated roar from the Twi'lek, and the strength of his blows greatly increases as he sees Sen fall. She'll be back on her feet in a few seconds, and joining the attack.

Nariveth's already moving away from her, parrying each blow from the Twi'lek as she retreats. Give her time before Sen's properly back in the fight.

She will not kill them, and she will not use lightning, but she does not have to be nice.

The Twi'lek gets his footwork ruined with the power of telekinesis, and then while he's down he gets a well aimed kick to the groin.

He grunts in pain, and stays down for a while. Sen takes his place. She's smaller and not as strong, but much quicker.

Well Nariveth has Force speed, so she can keep up, and then she decides that while she's playing with telekinesis she might as well make Sen's sword go flying out of her hand towards a completely empty corner of the room.

Sen dives after it.

The Twi'lek is getting back on his feet.
