"There have indeed been crystals like this before, but younglings never chose them, and they never guided a youngling." Obi-Wan said, looking at Milisen's crystal.
"Crystals with cracks are very unstable. But this crack is internal, and the material mixed in the crack is also very strange, containing some unknown energy."
Amir pressed: "Can it be made into a lightsaber?"
"You can try and see." Obi-Wan handed the crystal back to Milisen.
The little girl wasn't disappointed. Instead, she looked at Amir with great interest.
"Let's go, let's go! Hurry up and help me make a lightsaber!" Milisen urged.
Seeing the light in Milisen's eyes, Amir nodded.
Theoretically, this crystal could be made into a lightsaber. There were no cracks on its surface, just a small flaw inside. It shouldn't affect anything.
Taking Milisen and 32 to the workbench, Amir picked up a pen and looked at them.
"Use your imagination. Draw the shape of the lightsaber you like. I'll improve it for you and cast it. Here are various alloys. Their properties are all on the datapad you studied. Pick one you like. Of course, it's best not to use Beskar. It attracts too much hate."
"Mhm, mhm!!" Milisen picked up a pen, sat on a chair, gripped the pen with her fist, and started drawing laboriously.
Amir swallowed.
Milisen had never used a pen before. She had never written, let alone drawn.
32 should be about the same... Amir turned to look at the cyborg. Smooth lines appeared on the blank paper, quickly outlining a lightsaber.
"Forgot he can cheat." The mechanical arm's movement was determined by 32's brain. There was no such thing as proficiency. As long as he could think of the movement, the arm could execute it accurately.
Amir suddenly wanted to make one for himself again.
It wasn't until dark that Milisen managed to draw a bumpy outline. By then, Amir had already cast the casing for 32 and was preparing parts for him.
"I'm done, Amir!" Milisen shouted. She had redrawn it many times. It seemed this was the one she was most satisfied with.
Handing the parts to 32 and reminding him of the assembly method again, Amir walked over to Milisen.
Looking at the drawing on the paper, Amir laughed.
"Don't... don't laugh! It's pretty good, right?"
"Of course it's good," Amir said, because the lightsaber on the paper looked very similar to his.
"So no little flowers, feathers, or anything?" Amir joked.
"Those... can you draw them for me?"
"Sure, sure."
Holding Milisen's drawing, Amir redrew it with her. A small lightsaber, suitable for Milisen's hand, appeared on the paper.
"Yes, yes, that's it! Just like I imagined!"
With the design, Amir found the rest easy.
Obi-Wan walked up at this moment. "For hundreds of years before, younglings' first lightsabers were designed and made by Professor Huyang. He was a very respectable droid. He's probably met with misfortune too."
Amir listened as he told stories of the past.
"Once, when I led a team to Ilum, I also helped younglings make lightsabers on the Crucible with him. The ship had a large amount of materials to choose from. Every youngling could get the lightsaber most suitable for them with his help."
Amir finished carving the mold and said, "Perhaps Professor Huyang hasn't met with an accident and is waiting somewhere. The new Order might still be able to ask for his help."
"Hahaha, perhaps." Obi-Wan smiled and walked up to explain the method of assembling a lightsaber to Milisen.
After making a lightsaber once, apprentices would firmly remember the principles of lightsabers and could make new ones on their own later.
32 on the side also successfully assembled his lightsaber. It activated without a hitch, revealing a blue double-bladed beam.
The double-bladed lightsaber swung nimbly in his hands, emitting a pleasant hum.
Milisen's eyes widened with envy, but she didn't look for long before focusing more intently on the parts in front of her.
Just waiting for Amir to finish the casing.
Amir put much more effort into the casing for Milisen. To fit her small hand, he fine-tuned the diameter of the hilt many times. The body was like his own, with no extra components; most were stored inside. At Milisen's request, Amir also carved some beautiful patterns on the hilt and inlaid thin gold lines, which also increased friction.
After fine-tuning and polishing, Milisen took it excitedly.
"You must be careful when assembling, or it will explode. Except for your Kyber crystal, everything around will be destroyed," Amir warned. He wasn't lying; the energy contained in a lightsaber was terrifying.
Milisen nodded seriously, using the Force to levitate all the parts, including the casing, at her side, adjusting their positions according to what Obi-Wan had just told her.
Before long, Milisen had arranged everything neatly, then looked up at Amir.
Amir nodded, expressing affirmation.
After receiving approval, the light in Milisen's eyes became even brighter. Under her control, the internal parts of the lightsaber gradually combined, were wrapped by the casing, and pieced together, finally making a crisp closing sound.
Holding the lightsaber in her hand, Milisen stroked it gently. "Thank you, Amir. It's so beautiful! I love it!"
Although he really wanted to talk about the innovative adjustments he had made to cope with the potential instability of the lightsaber—this lightsaber was more than just good-looking...
But seeing the look in Milisen's eyes, Amir just said, "Try it out."
Milisen held her lightsaber up to her eyes and gently pressed the switch.
A blue blade emerged, radiating flame-like unstable turbulence at the emitter, but these fluctuations didn't affect its use at all.
Most surprisingly, there was a thread of red flowing within the blue energy beam, reaching straight to the tip of the lightsaber.
Amir looked at it with novelty. He hadn't expected such a change.
Milisen didn't care about any of this. Her smile never stopped as she happily swung the lightsaber.
"I knew my crystal was fine! Amir, I have a lightsaber too!"
It didn't exceed Amir's expectations. The lightsaber operated very stably. Although there were some strange points, a usable lightsaber was a good lightsaber.
The important thing was that Milisen liked it.
After finishing two big projects, Amir was also a bit tired. He and Obi-Wan each grabbed a drink and walked to the ship's door.
Ignoring the "crazy demon sword style" Milisen was demonstrating, Amir said, "This is a good beginning."
"Indeed. We are no longer stagnant. Everything is starting to change."
