9 Orientation (Part 2)

Kaida finishes chanting right as the swarm of cadet's reach her and Alina. Releasing a wave of dark side energy that visibly flows out to around a 15 meter diameter, she rushes forwards.

The cloud envelopes all of the cadets. As it does, a few of the cadets feel a intense mental strain, causing for them to stumble, some falling to the ground while grabbing their head's screaming.

Unfortunately, because Kaida lacks the training and raw power, this attack can only target the weaker of the Cadets. However, it is more than enough to give her some time to deal with the more skilled enemies.

Dancing between them, she uses the fluid and efficient movements characteristic of form three Soresu.

Defending from most all attacks, she slashed out, piercing the heart of a cadet who got too bold.

Standing beside Kaida, Alina slashes with her own sword, slicing a deep gash into one of the cadets.

Kaida flows through the cadets, cutting them down swiftly while Alina put's all her strength into fighting the one or two whom Kaida ignores.

Alina slashes downwards at one of the two cadets before spinning and slashing vertically.

The first cadet deflects the strike, but the second cadet is too slow, resulting in them getting slashed across the waist.

The cut is deep, the blade slicing through the organs and tearing apart their insides.

With that, she turns back facing the other cadet and deflects an incoming strike.

She continues to exchange blows with the other cadet until finally she slips past his defenses and stabs the blade straight into his stomach, killing him.

Alina looks over to find that all the other cadets have already been slain by Kaida.

Alina quickly tushes over to Kaida, "Ehhh Miss? We should hurry and help Master." She says, bowing her head.

Kaida shakes her head.

"We can't."

Alina looks over to see the two fighting, to see that Ragu's cloak has been shredded, and his now mostly exposed body riddled in shallow wounds.

Meanwhile, his opponent, has only received a few minor cuts.

"Why not! Master is going to lose!" Alina almost shouts, her face beat red in frustration.

Kaida, stares at the fight, her orange Sith eyes piercing through Lazarus, as if trying to kill him with her glare. Her body is trembling in anger.

She says, "Look." Before gesturing to everyone else around them.

The fighting had ceased, the instructors have stopped all the fighting, all except the dual happening. The crowd has gathered in a semi circle around the two cadets, watching with awe and excitement.

"If we try and assist Ragu, we will be stopped by the teachers and possibly punished. We have to trust in his ability. It was his strength that caused you to swear loyalty to him. So trust in it." She says to Alina.

Alina can't help but look over at Ragu, her eyes filled with fear. How can she trust he's going to win against someone who claimed to be stronger than Kaida, Ragu's master?

Unaware of the two girls thoughts, or even the world around him, Ragu violently slashes at the Sith in front of him. Fury blinding him, his reason now gone.

At this point, Ragu's mind has left him. He is fighting purely on savage instinct. His body, despite being riddled with wounds, moves just as quickly as before, if not even quicker!

Lazarus does his best to deflect and counter attack at his opponent, but the anger and shock have left his face. Replaced by a serious grimace.

The boy in front of him was fighting like a wild animal! Despite that his skill hasn't wavered!

Standing next to the Director, watching the fight, is a tall and powerful looking Sith.

Her name is Lord Kreia. A teacher at the academy. Watching the fight, her eyes glow in excitement.

"Darth Valorous, if he survives the fight…. That boy is mine." She demands quietly.

Valorous turns to her, his masked face devoid of any emotions.

"So. You have also realized it?" He asks.

She nods. Watching the fight, she has slowly realized that the masked boy who came as Kaida's slave was gold mine.

Although everyone has yet to realize it, Ragu has a talent. He has a special connection to the force. As he fights, he has the ability to disregard his sanity in exchange for overwhelming strength.

He has the ability to become a Sith Berserker. Only a small number have ever existed throughout history…

Ragu's mind finally simple text gives into the rage he feels bubbling up through his heart.

Leaping backwards, he surprises Lazarus by creating distance between the two.

Lazarus raises his guard, waiting for his enemy to approach again. He can't help but to be nervous. Throughout this fight, the masked figure has grown stronger at an alarming rate. It's as if the wounds riddling his body were nonexistent!

'What kind of devil is this?' He can't help but ask himself.

Meanwhile, Ragu reaches up, ripping off his mask and his robe, exposing his face and his bloody body.

Ragu's eyes are glowing red, his razor sharp teeth are barred like an animals, and his muscles viably ripple, like a predator who is preparing to pounce on his prey.

At this time, dark side energy begins visibly radiating from his body, black and red energy seems to almost rise from his body like steam.

"What in Raxus's forests?" Lazarus murmurs, unconsciously taking a step back.

Kaida, seeing this, can't help but to blush despite the situation, her face hearing up and her heart racing. Despite the situation, seeing Ragu like this, like a man possessed with a will to fight, with this overbearing aura and ferocity, drives her crazy.

Seeing this, Darth Valorous murmers, "Oh? So he actually succeeded in entering the Berserker state? This is going to be interesting."
