Seeing the other student fall into position, Taishari felt a rush of gratification at being seen as threatening. It eased the edge off her anger, but that only made it easier to control in a way she wished.<br/><br/>She reached a hand out blindly, and used the Force to pick up her long hilted lightsaber pike. It slapped into her grip with a solid thump and she swung it before her, the blade jumping to life with a low hum. She could feel the power she fed into it being manipulated, focused into a blade. The long grip gave her a better reach - she didn't have the muscle for close combat, and if she could keep her adversary at a distance she could use her telekinesis to greatest effect.<br/><br/>She twisted the pike hand-over-hand before her, shifting her feet before taking the guard position from Juyo technique, though her dominant fighting style was Ataru. She held it for a moment to centre herself, then she went to meet him with a savage grin. She moved quickly, light footed and eager to meet blades and find a way to hurt him.
