The Art of Meditation and Kicking Ass [Thursday, November 13, 2014, 2nd period]

Today the students would come in to find the Danger Room clear of mats or punching bags. Instead they would find handles of training lightsabers and helmets, that, when worn, would cover their eyes entirely. "Today we'll put together your ability to calm your mind and concentrate with some defensive and offensive training," Anakin said, smiling. "These are training lightsabers," he said, flicking on to life with a familiar (for him, at least) snap-hiss. "The real weapon could remove a hand, leg or head if you haven't been properly trained with it. These will just numb your limb for a while if you are being stupid enough to hit yourself with it."

He put the helmet over his head--looking fairly stupid--and explained, "This blocks your sight, so you must rely on your other senses to block the training drone from shooting you. Still your mind, be calm, and listen. You'll hear where the drone is before it shoots at you."

He raised a hand and the drones lifted into the air as well. "Ready?"

Okay, this was kind of cool. And by kind of Scott meant a lot. What was less cool was having to let the remotes hit him every once and a while, even though enhanced hearing meant he could tell exactly where they were at any given time, and his reflexes were fast enough to enable him to easily dodge the shots. But that would kind of give away the whole werewolf thing, so. He was just gonna swing the sword kind of randomly and be glad that the lasers didn't actually hurt that much.
