Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill

When they arrived at Coruscant, the two boys went to the Jedi Temple to train.

During the first few months as a Jedi Initiate, Tony's life could be described in one word. Boring.

This was because, for the first few months, the two boys only ever did two things. Memorize and Meditate.

First of all, they were required to memorize the Jedi Code. And then, the Three Pillars namely The Force, Knowledge, Self-discipline.

The two had to learn about all these, not letting the two proceed until they learned it by heart.

After learning and understanding the meaning of those things, they were given plenty of other things to memorize.

On the top of that list is to the layout of Temple. He paid a lot of attention to it because he felt restricted not being able to get any information outside of the Jedi Temple. The only source of intel he had at the moment is his clones. But they were also of no use, as the Scimitar was still not working properly.

The only set of clones that was productive were the ones in Tatooine. They were spread all over Tatooine, stationing groups near every docking bay in Tatooine. They were there to monitor the people, watching how fugitives and bounty hunters operate.

After a few weeks of observation, they concluded that they couldn't learn anything else from just watching. The clones started hunting for bounties.

Tony didn't want to exert much effort so he decided to just attack the first fugitive that has an acceptable spaceship. The problem is that he was using Scimitar and the Naboo spaceships as a basis for comparison. What he considered acceptable is already rare considering they were in the outer rim. The best he could find is probably Jango Fett's ship but the guy should be in Kamino working.

Even after a few months of waiting, Tony didn't manage to find a ship that caught his eye. All he could see are modified freighter and other more common spaceships. He didn't want to wait any longer and gave up. He started bounty hunting, planning to just save up for a good spaceship instead.

Tony missed being rich.

Hearing about his clones' activities, the original Tony couldn't help but be disappointed. Instead of studying space magic, he felt like he was studying in a catholic school instead.

This was due to the need to memorize and study the history of the Jedi Order. Topics include the traditions and philosophies of the Jedi Order, as well as the memorialized Jedi and their histories. Add to that all the meditation they needed to do and the school became a monastery.

If that wasn't enough, the teachers who taught the two boys seemed to nudge their lectures on the emotions part of the stories. They keep trying to pound into the two that Jedi's should control their emotions.

It would have been fine if they went deeper into the lectures but Tony never saw them teach how to handle emotions. The only thing they ever said was to Control Your Emotions.

It was clear to Tony that none of the Jedi know how to teach emotion control to a 9-year-old Anakin.

The boy seemed to mistaken control with suppression.

Tony: "No wonder Anakin turns to the dark side. Jedi's don't know how to teach about controlling emotions. It's probably not even exclusive to Anakin. Other younglings might also be confused.

There are probably other younglings who are also dormant volcanoes."

After learning how to control emotions, the two were tested. Similar to what happened with Jedi Council, Tony passed while Anakin was having a hard time controlling his emotions.

The clone found a few masters including Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Windu, watching the two as they took the tests. The clone wasn't able to listen in on them since the Jedi's seemed to sense the clone but knowing they were watching was already enough.

After they finished the test, Anakin asked Tony how he was able to control his emotions.

Tony didn't know what to say because he didn't feel that the tests were particularly hard. The exams just projected illusions with a lot of loopholes in the stories. Korean dramas and some random chick flicks were a lot more moving than what was in the tests.

Instead of giving him some bad advice, he referred Anakin to the Jedi Masters instead. He even pointed out Mace Windu in particular. This was because of the backstory Mace Windu was given for his purple lightsaber. The guy was able to harness the darkness inside him just because Fury wanted a purple lightsaber.

At best case scenario, Anakin would be able to control his emotions with ease. But it didn't go well, there was still a chance that Anakin's failure would irritate Windu.

Tony wanted to make Windu as frustrated and irritated as possible until he said motherf*cker.

Tony thought he would be able to proceed but he was told that he had to wait for Anakin to pass the test. The two were treated as part of the same clan and would proceed through their training together.

Tony was to learn about this as he didn't even know there were Jedi Initiate clans. He thought that the kids were just taught things until they were ready to become padawans. He asked about it and found that it wouldn't have been the case if the two of them didn't arrive together.

He tried to help Anakin, hoping he would succeed faster but his efforts made things worse. He felt Anakin getting more irritated with him instead. Seeing Tony control his emotions effortlessly while Anakin had it hard was annoying for the kid.

Seeing that his presence would just make things worse, Tony went to Master Yoda and consulted with him. Yoda talked about this with the others and Tony was allowed to start physical training just like the other Initiates at their stage. He wasn't allowed to learn ahead though because that was how Jedi Initiate clans worked.

Tony started running around the Jedi temple as what the Initiates considered physical training is just jogging. He would run around the place while getting familiar with the employees working for the Jedi Temple. He would make sure to stop by the Temple hangar each day and would try to play around there.

After a few days of exploring, the Temple Employees became familiar with Tony. This was because some employees were there due to their relationship with a Jedi Initiate. They wanted to check on their family for various reasons.

While Tony helped the employees get updates on their relatives, he didn't help them make contact with the Jedi Initiates. It was because he felt some of them had malicious intentions.

Even though he wasn't able to satisfy everyone, he was able to get along with some of the employees who just wanted to work for the Jedi. Soon enough, the people were comfortable enough with him that they were comfortable gossiping around him.

Tony acted like he didn't hear anything, while he was actually paying attention. When it comes to information gathering, gossip could be a powerful weapon. He could learn about quite a lot of things that pertain to something important. It wasn't an ideal way to gather information though because a lot of misleading information would definitely be mixed in.

Tony listened while subtly testing out Jedi mind tricks on the employees. It was hard to execute considering he only has the movies as basis but he kept testing things with his clones in Tatooine and was able to stumble upon it. Now, he was able to sway the employees' conversations to go to what he wanted.

He had the group focus around the time he and Anakin started training. This was the time he had the least amount of information on.

It wouldn't have been controversial if it was a spaceship used to transport a senator as ȧssassinations happen once in a while. They had to hide what happened until things settled down.

Tony pressed for more info. As it turns out, the spaceship unaccounted for was a ship that usually transported important evidence. These things would normally attract more attention but the investigation team lead by Tan Divo(a cynical by-the-book investigator), was fast to make a conclusion.

The mechanic team leader in charge of the ship ended up demoted while the mechanic under him, who was known to some mechanics in the Temple to be a lot more incompetent, replaced the leader.

Hearing how corrupted the Senate is, the employees heaved a sigh of relief as they believed Jedi wouldn't do such a thing. Tony told them not to worry as he would stand up for them as long as they didn't go against the Jedi.

While the employees smiled, Tony thought about the lost spaceship. It might just be a coincidence considering there were billions of planet in the universe. It was because of a bad feeling he had when he heard this news that made him start digging about it.
