Combat- Tuesday- 2nd period- Class #3
The class was in the Danger Shop today, even if it looked just like the gym, and Jaina was standing with two similar objects in her hands. "We're going to get back to hand to hand," she promised, "but today we're going to do something a little different.
"This is a lightsaber," she said, igniting the violet blade of the real weapon in her right hand and holding it up as she spoke. "For those of you who don't know, it's a weapon used by the Jedi... and others." The Sith didn't deserve mentioning, and she didn't know about the Imperial Knights, so there. "For those of you who know how to use swords, even light ones, you're going to be in for a surprise here. They're a lot lighter than what you're used to, which is going to change how you fight with it. The beam is plasma, and it's capable of doing this." With that, Jaina plunged her lightsaber downward, cutting easily through the Danger Shop floor before she switched it off. "If it can do that to a floor, it'll do a lot more damage to a person. Which is why you'll be skipping the real thing and using these."
And on went the practice lightsaber in her left hand, which looked and sounded just a little different. The snap-hiss wasn't quite the same. "These are practice sabers. You'll each get one for class. They're good substitutes for the real thing, but if you hit someone, instead of chopping off an arm, you'll shock them." And because she never expected people she bossed around to do anything she wouldn't, she tapped her other arm with the practice blade, and if it looked like it hurt, it's because it did. "Go ahead and pair up, try these out, and don't aim for any sensitive areas on purpose, okay? Seriously."

Re: Sparring
The only thing saving her from a nasty shock (or becoming a bisected Korra if this had been fore real) was all the hours Tenzin had made her spend going through the Airbending gates. Alec might have heard her furiously muttering "Betheleafbetheleafbetheleaf..." as she pushed herself up and over, twisting out of the path of the blade.
Of course, she managed to drop her laser-sword in the process, the blade turning off and the the handle skittering away from her.
