His arm finally being released from its strenuous task, Xuku stood up. The exercise had been harder than it originally seemed it would be, but it had successfully taught Xuku the principle of precision. Xuku joined the others in forming a circle, wondering what Jor's response to Tycen's inquiry would bring.

"Ok, since we're all acquainted our next little activity requires precision and quick thinking." Jor explained to them. He took the stone from Ravenous again and walked into the middle of the circle. "i'm going to toss this to my friend Ravenous here and say a name. It could be any one of your names that i say. His job, is to force push the stone so that it ends up heading towards the person who's name i called."
Jor hefted the small stone in his hand. "when he does it, he will say a name. The person he pushed the stone to will force push the stone to the person with that name. and so on and so on. Do not hold onto the stone with the force, just push it."
Jor made a motion with the stone in his hand, bouncing it up and down all the way around the circle. "The idea being that with quick enough reflexes, you all will be able to bounce the stone between you without it ever touching the ground or leaving the circle. Push it to hard and it leaves the circle, push it to little and it falls to the ground. Everyone understand?"

Vanyr found this new exercise to sound quite interesting. He had to admit, this wasn't the training he had expected, but it clearly would teach them basic things that could save a life later on. He hadn't had much practice using telekinesis before, but he would try his best. Vanyr nodded his head when Jor asked if anyone had questions, ready to start this new drill.

Tycen stood silently as Jor explained the next training program, as he finished going through what would be taking place during the exercise and asked if they understood Tycen raised a hand following it with a question. "is this going to turn out To be another play on words?" the question came stone faced so even though he was obviously joking about it he couldn't exactly be accused of not taking it serious.

Hearing the expansion of their training Ravenous having had his stone used as an example by Master Jor turned his attention and body to face said individual. Listening to the rules and reasoning behind it Ravenous prepared himself for the on coming stone to be lightly thrown toward him by anyone. He started by paying close attention to the stone and where it was going to travel whenever it left the master's hands. Chuckling lightly at how this worked reminded him of Volleyball but with telekinesis instead of limbs hitting the desired object.
Standing tall he spoke aloud to however was listening at the moment "I'm ready whenever you are..." he calmed his breathing and mind to better focus and increase his reaction time.

Xuku listened as Jor explained the next exercise. It would be a good way to put to practice the principle of precision which they had just been taught, while also being chaotic and somewhat fun. Xuku nodded his head when Jor asked if everyone understood, and began to ready himself to react quickly when the stone came his way.

After Jor explained the rules for the exercise, Asuka closed her eyes and started to center herself again, focusing on where the other padawans were in relation to her, and the stone, which was the key point. As ready as she would ever be, Asuka nodded her head to Jor, not chancing her concentration to fail should she speak. [/sub]

Rindel, who had followed Xuku to the cirlce, nodded, as jor explained the rules, and was ready to start the "training" She opened herself to the force, while paying attention to those around her, waiting for her name to be called, and the stone to move towards her.

Elisa pulled out the staff off her back when all the people had paired up. She then lowered it towards the ground and started to walk around the group. While it appeared as if the staff was touching the ground, there was no noise of it dragging. She was doing the same thing that the other students were doing, but just her own way. She noticed at first they were not doing what Jor really wanted them to, but before she could say anything Jor got on their cases. She took a breath and relaxed, she was not use to this must tension in the air as the students when about their tasks to prove they were fair along.
Elisa continued to do this until Jor order them to circle up, then she placed it back on her back and entered the circle. When he explained the purpose of the task Elisa's eyes widen. "This is not a good task for me or you Jor. You struggle to hold you lightsaber in the air and I could hardly stop a rock being pushed at me at any speed which would test my reaction time." Elisa said expressing her current lack in telekinesis skills. She had gotten better sense her creation, but it was an uphill battle. She was progressing much quicker in mental abilities which she had natural abilities to help with. In a way it was much the same way as Jor, but in the end she knew that Kitana was able to due telekinesis fairly will, so it was concluded it only took time. The test was also bad for her because she could simple read the minds and emotions of the group. As soon as they knew who they were pushing the stone at she would. She did not state this but figured Jor would be able to stop their own telepathic abilities to rely soly on precognition.

"Yo, Two Face... zip it." Jor said to him, rolling his eyes. He gave the stone a few good tosses in his hand.
"Ok, yall heard Elisa, she's having trouble with the whole push thing so don't be hurling this thing at 90 clicks a minute. Just.... pretend its a game. A nice friendly game." Jor said.
He got ready to toss the stone to Ravenous. "Rindel!" He said loudly as he let the stone sail in an arc towards his new apprentice. He quickly ducked out of the circle to observe the group. He was improvising now. His father had just taught him and no one else. Jor didn't know what to do for a large group such as this but this exercise would prove useful to them in the future he thought. Control, above all else was one of the most important things to a Jedi and this would help teach them that.

Having prepared his body to react in time of the small stone being tossed in his direction Ravenous lifted his left hand to lightly push the rock to Rindel. He did this by of course gently applying a telekinetic push from the front region of the object and then a second more slightly stronger push to send it to his target Rindel.
Doing all of this calmly and with collected focus he spoke the name of the next individual to partake in the training exercise. "Tycen..." saying this as his gaze was called on the stone and where it was traveling to next as per his outburst of another's name.

Rindel watched as the rock arced towards her, from ravenous' and realized, she did not know how to use telekenisis. She knew how to sense the force, but not how to use it, seeing as she had lacked a teacher up until now. Rather than stand by, and let the rock hit her, or whatnot, she reached out with her hand, and cought the rock, and tossed it towards tycen, with a shrug, as she said, Xuku.

Tycen threw up his left hand as the stone lowered from the arch it had been tossed in, Rindel, The last one it was pushed to, Apparently had yet to develop any skill in telekinesis. in the moment while the stone flow toward him Tycen wondered if he should halt and let the problem be addressed but quickly came to the resolution that Jor would probably resolve it while the others continued the exercise, If not then he would ask them to stop, Ether way It wasn't his call.
Putting his mind back in the now. Tycen didn't think he required any "Center" To utilize the force, Instead he concentrated on his goal, in this case the stone, And delivering it to the end game, Xuku. While completing the needed secondary objective of stating the name of the next in line, Vanyr.
"Vanyr!" He declared slightly below a shout as he pressed telekinetic energy through the small object launching it toward Xuku faster then the rest had to there targets, Tycen didn't mean to push it quite so fast but sometimes you don't know your own strength, Right.

As Xuku heard his name called he immediately began thinking about how he would transition the stone's direction towards Vanyr. Planning on the stone lightly being thrown his way, he decided that it would not take a very strong push to alter the object's course. His plan became worthless as the stone came flying at him faster than it had yet gone, and he had to react fast or else the stone would fly past him out of the circle.
Not wanting to send the stone flying faster than it already was, Xuku's push was somewhat light, yet enough to counteract the current speed of the stone and send it to its new destination. However, his telekinetic blast was slightly weaker than it needed to be, and the stone glided through the air in an arc which would would not quite reach Vanyr. "Asuka," Xuku said, wondering if Vanyr would be able to successfully handle the rather poor push he had made.

Vanyr had to react quickly when he saw that Xuku's push was not enough to fully reach him. Although he was new to this sort of thing, he began to push it to the person Xuku had designated, Asuka. He then quickly thought of who he should send it back to, and he decided to try to mix it up and attempt to catch one of the participants off guard.
"Tycen," he said as he pushed it to Asuka.
