Kaine finished the last of his food, before pushing his chair away from the table and rising to stand. "Come now, we shall begin your training." Kaine turned and would lead Malia out from the dining hall and out into the yard, where many members of Kaine's Blackblade Guard would be practicing swordfighting, hand-to-hand combat, and basic firearms training. Across the yard was the fighting pit, where two combatants would enter after their training had been completed and fight to the death, with the winner becoming an official member of the Blackblade Guard. The loser's corpse would be fed to the Vornskrs that prowled the grounds, held tightly on leashes by their cruel handlers. Those that taught these new trainees were hardened veterans who had been alongside Kaine during the Imperial-Mandalorian skirmish, and they were almost as ruthless as their master on the training ground and on the battlefield.
"We will start with the basics." Kaine said as he removed his upper layer of clothing and tossed it to the wayside, and gently removed the lightsaber at his side and activated it's crimson blade before Malia. "The first form of lightsaber combat, Shii-Cho, was modeled much after traditional archaic swordfighting, and is one that all students of mine learn." Luckily for Malia, Kaine was not going to use his weapon against her, but rather he deactivated the blade and handed it over to the young apprentice. Along with his blade, he gifted the young Malia a blindfold, "What you are going to do is expand your knowledge and proficiency in Form I, place the blindfold over your eyes, and reach out with your feelings in the Force to your surroundings." At that moment, once Malia had done what he had asked, Kaine activated a console behind him which would release a single training remote, which would in turn fire on Malia with a single shot at random intervals.
It was up to her to intercept these attacks and deflect them with the lightsaber, or suffer the pain that came along with being struck by the remote's attack.
