Obstacle Course!

Arriving at the area told to him by Shaak Ti, he was met with two familiar masters. Sha Koon was standing there with another master, who he also recognized. He was the strange man with white hair and an ageless face.

"Oh, a youngling is coming already, isn't it early in the morning?" The white-haired ageless man looked surprised.

"I came to train, that's all. I wonder if that's possible?" Xytan just wanted to quickly learn and practice. He wanted to see what this obstacle course was all about.

"It is, right this way." Sha Koon nodded and had Xytan follow her. The ageless man also followed behind, he was in charge of these activities as well.

Once Xytan entered, it was still pretty much the same as last time but there was more equipment. The Younglings were all finally able to pass the platform Force Jump training. There was no one else here, Xytan was the first and only one among the Younglings.

"Now, I will set it up for you." Sha Koon called on the force in the same way as last time. She was also aided by the Ageless Jedi Knight. Xytan watched everything unfold, as a complicated Parkour training ground formed.

'Well, damn!' Short to longwall jumps, along with platform jumps to. Eventually, there were things that required you to balance yourself on, such as longboards.

"Uh, has anyone even made it to the top yet?" Xytan was dumbfounded when viewing the whole scene.

"Nope. Not one." Though Xytan couldn't see it from her face, he was sure she was smiling.

"Child, every Youngling yesterday failed to reach the third area and would fall off. Most failed the first area and didn't make it to the second. Don't go in thinking this is a walk in the park, stay focused and rely on the force." The Ageless man encouraged, sorta.

There were four parts to this little parkour training.

-The first part was a long platform jump.

-The second part was a wall-to-wall jump, which was quite long. Once you were at the end, you would land on a platform.

-The third part was a single wall run that led to another single wall run you had to jump to get to. At the end was another platform.

-The fourth part had balance boards, which had spinning cushioned propellers coming at you. You would have to jump over them before they knocked you off! They grew faster over time, for each one you passed.

"This...is this really Youngling training?" Xytan expression turned strange, as he looked to ask the two.

"Hahaha! This is indeed your training, whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, you know?" The Ageless man couldn't hold it in anymore, he was monitoring Xytan's expression from the beginning to the end. He had done this with the other Younglings, and their expressions were priceless.

"Alright, I'll give it a go." Xytan stepped up and jumped on the first platform. The distance was greater than the past platforms he jumped from. Xytan stepped back and ran for it, taking a big leap toward the other platform.

Thud...

Xytan successfully landed on the first platform, passing the first run. Sha Koon and Ageless nodded, but they still kept watching.

"A wall-to-wall jump, huh?" Xytan once again took a step back before making a run for it. He pounced from one wall to the next, this didn't seem hard to him. This Parkour section was longer than expected but he kept going before finishing it up with a flip.

"Little show off, huh?" Ageless was speechless.

"Ah, now I remember, this is Shaak Ti's new disciple." Sha Koon didn't see much of him, since he didn't appear anymore after the Force Jump training.

Xytan frowned slightly when it came to this part. He had to walk a single wall for a while before he could reach another wall to run on.

'I'll need some serious speed for this one.' Xytan thought.

"Hoho, they all failed to make it to the third one; this is the first." Ageless was amused, if only he had some popcorn right now.

'Indeed worthy of Shaak Ti's student.' Sha Koon understood.

Xytan ran swiftly with his little legs, he jumped on the wall and started running on it. His expression was serious and filled with confidence, then he jumped to the next. Then suddenly, he slipped on the second wall.

Zip~

His eyes were wide from the failure, and he wondered, did the wall have water on it or something? Sha Koon quickly used her power to catch Xytan, helping him land safely.

"Well done, that's the farthest anyone has made it. It looked like a misplacement in your footstep is what caused you to fall." Ageless complimented.

"I wanna try again. I must have slipped or something." Xytan got up and rushed back to the platform again.

"Eager fella, huh?" Ageless smiled knowingly.

Sha Koon sighed, these Younglings were so energetic these days.

Xytan tried again, but the same thing happened. Once he got to the second wall, he slipped and fell.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you. That surface has intentionally been made to be slippery, so watch out." Ageless rubbed his chin nonchalantly, smirking happily.

'Darn, why didn't say that at the start?!' Xytan was somewhat annoyed.

"Don't be upset, there are always unforeseen events out in the field. What if you were in the rain and snow or something? Do you think these surfaces would be so easy to prance over?" Ageless raised an eyebrow and spoke with a grin. This look gave him some sort of delinquent vibe from what Xytan could see.

Xytan knew he was right, so he went to try again. When he reached that part again, he actually managed to stay on the wall... for a bit before slipping off again. Xytan kicked off the air, propelling himself upward before reaching out his arm to hang on the wall's edge.

"Are you serious, this kid is something else!" Ageless laughed seeing Xytan clinging to the wall, he thought Xytan was desperate.

"What's he trying to do, this won't get him through, at least it shouldn't." Sha Koon adjusted her lenses.

Suddenly, they saw something that almost made their eyes pop out. Xytan was moving slowly across the wall with his hands—trying to make it to the next platform.

"This little....cheater!" Ageless was completely dumbfounded. Sha Koon felt like pulling him down and scolding him but there were no rules that were against this. Xytan soon advanced to the next platform, then he gazed at the Jedi Masters below.

He could already tell what they were thinking, but it didn't matter. Xytan jumped onto the balance board but found that he had to really focus to balance himself.

"Man, this is harder than I thought, but I think I got this." The Propeller swooshed over, it was neither fast nor slow. Xytan quickly jumped over it before landing and balancing himself again.

With Force Focus, he could achieve almost anything with this. He did the same for the next Propeller, which was even faster. But suddenly, a powerful wind crushed over his body, shocking him.

"What, No!" Xytan couldn't react in time, he was quickly blown away. Sha Koon caught him, but she was surprisingly laughing really hard.

"Why are there so many traps?" Xytan expression was a bit ugly, he felt conned because of this.

"You never know when a trap may be around the corner, you have to keep your guard up," Ageless said seriously. However, Xytan could see the peak of his jaw bone, they were twitching. This was an indication that he was holding back his laughter.

"Oh, man, I haven't laughed like that in ages." What a relieving feeling it was for her.

"Yeah, I hope you enjoyed it. I'm trying again." Xytan turned and went to try again.

"Don't use that trick from before, actually make it across legitimately." Sha Koon hurriedly and said.

"That was legitimate, I made it across, right?" Xytan turned and said confusingly.

Sha Koon looked at him closely, this little jerk clearly knew he was in the wrong! Shaak Ti stated briefly that her Disciple was a little trickster, Sha finally understood what she meant.

"I mean actually wall run, not pulling yourself over! Now, go do it right, or I'll have a little talk with you Master." Sha Koon pointed towards the platform and said.

Xytan didn't say anything and quickly went to try again. Time passed, but that surface was just too slippery, he had to find a way around it. Eventually, two hours went by just like that. Furthermore, Xytan had unlocked a new skill, and wouldn't you have guessed it, yes, it was Wall Run.

Xytan began to meditate to himself to restore his energy. This caused him to suddenly remember something that happened in the past. This was when he had just turned five years old.

AN: Before the story started.

The system spoke rarely, but when it didn't speak, it wrote things to him. When Anakin was meeting with the council stating that he was on it, but he wasn't a master. At the time, the system had picked up on something.

Someone was [Flow Walking] back in time to see those unrecorded events. Xytan didn't care so much at the time because he was more worried about surviving. However, he did briefly wondered who had come back in time to see such events.

Using this ability, you would only be able to act as an observer. The user was unable to alter anything.

But now that he wasn't so worried about surviving, he could care and think more about it. If Xytan's guess was right, then there was a chance that the person who was using Flow Walking was either Jacen Solo or Ben Skywalker!

"That Jacen guy did turn to the Darkside, he was also really interested in his Grandfather, Anakin." Xytan couldn't quite remember, but he could be wrong. He thought.

Eventually, many Younglings started to show up and give the obstacle course a go. Xytan did not see Jin or Viola among the Younglings.

"Yo, Ven, where's Viola and Jin?" Xytan walked over to ask this fella.

"I don't know, we ate breakfast and they both disappeared after that."Ven shrugged and started blinking strangely fast with wide eyes.

"Oh, okay, I'll go search then." Xytan almost laughed at his expression, why did he look like that?
