Chapter 10: Demonstration Duel

Most often, it is the first time that is remembered.

Confession! Santal has been studying in the Order for a month and has already acquired some of the basic skills necessary to move to the next level. And this despite the fact that the girl showed a fear of performing acrobatic exercises. And an important event awaits ahead - a training duel between the Grand Master of the Jedi Order Yoda and another master.

Many people believe that the closer a grand event is, the more difficult it is to sit still. Likewise, on the eve of a duel in the clan in which Santal studied, many found it difficult to stay in the classroom and stay focused. The same Nick or Max turned to others at every opportunity. A couple of times they even got some remarks. And Landa and the girls were angry. And if because of them, as a punishment, everything is canceled? Santal mentally agreed. She herself was expecting a duel, but she did not turn around, but stood calmly.

Also, over the remaining days, Santal managed to talk to Barriss a couple of times, suddenly she heard something about a demonstration duel. But no, she didn't hear anything. Or she was simply told to be silent so as not to spoil the surprise. If this is true, then it's okay.

And yet Santal was impatient, if only because she had never seen a lightsaber duel before. And she also did not know with whom the Jedi who had brought her to the Temple would fight.

To distract from "hot" thoughts from time to time, the girl went to the library and read the information that she wanted to find earlier, but her hands did not reach. So one evening she studied the races again. And not just looking at the pictures, but looking for an uncle among them. I decided to start the search in alphabetical order. After the second letter Santal began to get tired. What hard work it is to look for a personality! But, fortunately, the whole alphabet did not have to be rummaged. On the fifth letter, the goal was achieved.

Santal was shocked to see such a familiar face on the computer:

- Here he is! Only without a hat. It all fits together. So the Duros race. Well, the name. From the word fool! - At such thoughts Santal laughed louder than she wanted, which is why those who were sitting next to her shouted at her. The girl hurried to apologize and, taking the datapad, left the library, heading to her room.

"Wow! Duros race. I thought that my uncle was an inanimate creature wearing the skin of a duros. But this is unreal. The Duros race - or Durosian - was one of the first in the Far Galaxy to master interstellar travel. Duros are known for their calm and restrained nature, peacefulness, sociability and reliability. But this one is not at all like that. Or the recordings are wrong, but I can't believe it. I am sure that in the library of the Temple there is only truth and nothing but the truth. In this case, one of two things - either there is not all the information in the library, or this uncle is defective. Freak of nature. From the word stupidity. "

- Elina, stop breaking the dishes! We didn't buy it for that! - shouted Nobi, trying to calm his wife.

The Letanka stopped this occupation, left the kitchen, came to her husband's bedroom, sat down next to him on the bed and sobbed aloud.

- Well, well, well, dear, calm down.

- I can not! The woman's cry turned into a howl. - That's all ... We're alone now. There are only two of us now.

- And who is to blame for this? The green Twi'lek replied in a stern voice. "Who went broke in front of the Jedi by dishonoring us? Who yelled at Santal, is it not her fault at all? Who yelled at the hunter? You yourself missed your chance.
