Johun nods approvingly.
On a personal note, I strive to learn something new everyday. One should never grow complacent, and always continue to learn.
Johun paused a minute, and looked over to Brielle.
Have you trained at all in martial combat, whether that be hand to hand, or with a lightsaber?

Brielle nods, noting Johun's suggestion about learning something new everyday, which she imagines will be an easy enough promise to herself to keep as she begins her training, and then replies to his question, her tone informational and devoid of braggadocio.
"I have trained quite extensively in unarmed combat. I'm not sure how much you know about the Epicanthix culture, but they place a high priority on combat readiness. My uncle taught me an eclectic mix of different schools. We focused most on Broken Gate, given its use by the Jedi, at least in the Galactic Republic, but he also taught me some techniques from Hijkata, as its focus is on deflection and countering of attacks to turn an opponent's momentum and strength against them, as befits the Jedi philosophy of prioritizing defense over attack. He also taught me some Bukuuni Hand techniques, which involve using the Force to enhance one's strength when striking or blocking. As for lightsaber combat, however, my uncle and I thought it best that it was undertaken when my instructors, or my Master if I was chosen as a Padawan, decided I was ready, since it is something a Jedi Initiate does, and I am not yet one, unless or until the Masters you spoke of give their approval."

Johun nodded as Brielle spoke.
And how are you at piloting vehicles?

Brielle, scrunching up her nose as she considers just how little experience she has with piloting vehicles, answers a bit more hesitantly than usual as she realizes that she may be behind other initiates or padawans who have probably already been learning to pilot starfighters or maybe even larger ships "Well . . . let's see, Knight Starfield, hmmm . . . I'm pretty decent on a swoop bike, and. . . Oh! Airspeeders, I can pilot those pretty well too."
With a sheepish shrug of her shoulders, Brielle admits, "I'm afraid that's it really."

Very good. I started out similarly.
Johun reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder.
Soon you'll be flying starfighters like you were born in the cockpit.

"I'll take your word for it, Knight Starfield," Brielle says with a slightly uncertain smile, wondering if learning to pilot a starfighter will be as easy as he makes it sound, and hoping to acquit herself when the time comes.
Thinking that she will make her one new thing learned today learning more about what is involved in flight training, Brielle asks, "Is there a particular model of starfighter that initiates train on?"

Johun turned the door,
Well. let's head to the hangar and see what there is?
Johun headed to the hangar.

Brielle smiles excitedly when Johun says that they will be going to the hangar to ascertain what types of starfighters are available, nodding as she picks up her rucksack and slings it over her shoulder, "Sure!"
Paying attention to the route they take to the hangar in an effort to continue familiarizing herself with the layout of the academy, Brielle follows along behind Johun as he leads the way to the hangar.
