Kanan's pov

"Kanan do you really have to teach me this?" Ezra asks me.

"It's important you learn math. I had to learn math during my training." I say.

"Did you like it?" He asks.

"No, now what's 7 x 2?" I ask. Ezra rolls his eyes.

"Come on Kanan it's obviously 14." He says.

"Oh really? What's 4 x 9?" I ask.

"Again obviously 36." He says.

"You know what let me give you a harder one. What's 356 x 78?" I ask him.

Ezra stays silent. "Thought so. Now wha-" I was cut off by Ezra.

"27, 768." He says. I give him a confused look.

"What?" I ask.

"Isn't that the answer for 356 x 78?" He asks. I take out my calculator and put in 356 x 78.

27, 768.

My eyes widen. How did he multiple those numbers in his head? I wasn't able to do that at his age. I still can't do that.

"Ezra, what's 15 x 25?" I ask.

"375." He says. I put in the numbers in my calculators.

375.

I was beyond shocked. "When have you been able to do this?" I ask.

"Umm....pretty much my whole life." Ezra says.

"Why haven't you told anyone?" I ask him.

"Because my parents told me to keep it secret just in case the Empire found out. They were afraid they would take me away." He says.

"So you could multiply big numbers in your head and you didn't even tell us about it?" I ask.

"I mostly forgot." He says. Forgot? Really? How could he forget that he has a secret talent?

"Well we should keep this to ourselves just in case the Empire does find out." I say. Ezra nods.

"So are we going to finish the math lesson?" He asks.

"Uhh I think we're done for the day." I say.

"But we just started 3 minutes and...." He stops and looks at his watch. "45 seconds ago.... 46 seconds ago......47 seconds ago....."

"Ok Ezra I get it. But maybe it would be best to rest for the remanding amount of time." I say. He nods and leaves the room.

"And I probably won't need to teach you any math." I mumble.

"I heard that." I hear Ezra say through the door.
