Rasen stopped for a moment and pondered, relaxing her stance. She did not remember Jedi could have visions about the future or things happening elsewhere.
-"Yes, this is satisfactory, Master."
As she replied, the girl removed her long coat, revealing a more appropriate fighting attire of gray pants and a tight dark blue, sleeveless shirt. she took a swordplay stance once more, lowering her center of gravity and edging her right feet away.
As she ignited the lightsaber, she smirked. His knowledge of his nickname came from a vision, this is what he had said. She was very curious however, as to see whether or not he knew of the reasons of her nickname.
Before the Jedi could attack, Rasen quickly rotated the handle in her left hand stuck it between her index and middle finger, holding it in a rare way that would allow her to use it the way she knew to use weapons: Like a Katar.

-"Hmmm"
Rasen stood of profile, her left side facing her opponent, left arm raised and holding her lightsaber the way she knew to fight. This wasn't her first battle, but it would in no way be easy, and this for two reasons. Firstly, she was up against a Jedi Knight, a capable, trained and very efficient warrior. What's more, Katars were usually weapons used in pairs.
The girl sighed and sent the handle to her right hand, changing her stance. She knew she would need a cunning and original attack to break through a Jedi focusing on defense and she was very well intent on proving that she was not useless in battle, even though she may be only a padawan.
Rasen observed his Force signature and felt the flow coming out of him. It wasn't hostile, but it was battle ready. After a short while, she leaped forward.
Her first thrust was a feint a thrust directed toward his waist that would be easy to block. Before it would connect, she back stepped and sent a sweaping thrust upward toward the arm that was meant to block all the while extending her left arm on her side. This second move was also a feint.
The rest of her attack would have to wait to see her Master's reaction, but what she had planned for the followings were as such:
Firstly, she expected a counter-attack and was ready to parry any incoming blow, while she would parry the blow, she would use the technic she had learned right before and use the Force to attract another lightsaber in her left hand, allowing her to fight more efficiently. Once she would have acquried it, she would do two feints, one with both hands and finally, the true attack would rise up from her left hand as she would sweep herself forawrd and thrust the lightsaber upward, toward his chest.
The attack was planned and deadly, but would the Jedi see through it, would she be fast enough to execute it? she well hoped so.

Osman sidestepped the first feint attack. He then blocked the swing. Being able to read the body tensing, Osman knew Scarlet was going to change this fight one way or another. So he force jumped backwards to be out of range for any attack besides a saber throw.

The sudden withdrawal of her opponent surprised Rasen and she jumped backward, startled. He managed to cut through a well-knit attack with such ease, but things were not over. Her first objective had succeeded and her disadvantage was lessened.
On the other hand, she was counting on her Master only expecting simple blow to have an effect of surprise with her battle experience, but now he must have understood that she was no single-minded foe.
The girl, however, was very relieved that her master did not call her out on her use of her newly learned ability to get a second blade as cheating or anything of the likes. This fact asides released her of a burden and relaxed her. She lowered herself, preparing herself for another attack. Both her lightsabers were held forward, between her indexes and middle fingers, now closely resembling the wielding of katars.
Silently, she tensed her leg and used another of the technics he had just thought her. Rasen used the force to jump forward and close-in the distance more quickly. She firstly held her blades in X. She was expecting an attack, even if only instinctive, and was ready to use this to parry the blow of a much stronger individual. She closed-in even more, her torso dangerously close from his, sending her right hand toward her Master's lightsaber and rotating, sweeping her left blade toward his sides.

Rasen, having been already rotating to land her attack, managed to follow up on her movement and twist backward but her Master's speed was it of a Jedi Knight and even if she was proud of her own, it was only barely that she made it in time to parry a direct hit. She had no time, however to position herself and the strength of the blow sent her violently on her butt, to which she pouted and crossed her blades again to ready to receive a next attack. Of this was a real training, then her Master should emulate the merciless enemies of the battlefield and strike her while she was down.
-"Kch"
Even at the peek of her speed, a Jedi Knight was no joke opponent and her muscles realized this as they strained. Moreso, despite her usually good stamina, her energy was draining much faster than usual, most likely because she was using her newfound Force Powers in actual combat so shortly after learning them.

Rasen blocked and squeezed the blade of her master between both of her's as he struck down, holding with all her strength. She then kicked, but not his leg, rather she targeted his wrist, trying to disarm him. The attack was too slow however and it would easily be dodged, but she was still able to use the momentum to twist herself and get back on her feet. While she was still completely lowered on the ground, she was a step ahead, she already knew what she was going to do next, but she had to deal with her opponent's reply first.

The Miraluka stood ready for a blow, but it never came, instead, her master was still defending. After all, the objective of this training was for her to land a hit, it wasn't an actual combat. Her master was all but going all-out and she knew it. This fact irritated her for a moment but she chased away the negative feeling, rather focusing on her task. She has completed all the tasks he had asked her to quite easily, it was her belief that she should be able to achieve this one as well. It wasn't winning a battle, it was simply landing a hit.
Upon this reflection, she knew what she was to do. If she let the fight just go on she would quickly tire out and fail, she had to do it quickly. Even with her stamina her body was not used to fighting such high-level opponent nor using the Force for other applications than Sight.
-"Prepare." Rasen let out a warning in her usual soft voice, but it had a hint of seriousness in it. Not quite hostile, but still nearly ferocious.
The third time always works, or so she told herself as she tensed up her body. She knew he would dodge by using the Force to jump out of her range as he did so the first two times so she took it into account this time.she crossed her blades and moved her hands closer to her chest. She remained like this, lowered and motionless for a moment.
Then she leaped like a vulture. she used the Force to jump forward and upward at the highest speed she could manage to enhance and once shewas close enough, she swung both her arms toward the outside, resulting a very large and profound covering in C no both her sides. She continued to move forward as she did so, as to remain on him while he wold use the Force to dodge.

Suddenly, something odd happened. Something so simple she had not expected to happen. While she swept and covered a very large radius around her and above, there was one direction not covered, below.
-"Kch"
The girl cursed her own weakness mentally and lowered her blades, sighing deeply.
-"Well jeez..." she begun with her soft, yet tired voice. "It would seemed I failed you, Master... I apologize, I was not able to fulfill your task this time."
Rasen lowered her head. Her smile was gone and her body was sweating from fighting in such a strain-inducing way. She was not mad, she was disappointed, by herself.

"Do not be disappointed. You did more than most padawans could against their master their frist sparring session. Now then." Osman disignited his training saber. "Go to your room and meditate. Rest and meet me back here tomorrow."

-"But, most padawans lack the experience I have." Rasen stated quietly. "I'm also older than many. It was to be expected."
Rasen took a step back and bowed slightly in respect before disgniting her own blades. She moved the one in her right hand to her left through the force and picked up her coat with her right, throwing it over herself and covering her combat-clad body. She did not close it, however, as she was still very hot from the strain of the battle and did not wish to further increase her temperature. In a precise but much slower move, she put the two lightsabers inside her coat, a glimpse of something shiny came out of the folds of the coat, but it wasn't enough to identify it's source.
-"I shall do do." she replied to his command with a quiet and tired voice. Her disappointment, despite the cheerful words, was still present.

-"I shall remember your offer, but I don't have any precise question at the moment."
It was no lie, the only things that had to be asked were from herself to herself. She would gladly take upon the offer to have some time to rest and reflect. Meditation, however, was not her forte as she did not like moments of idleness and considered them wasted. Resting, however, was necessary for one to keep at one's best. As her master was leaving the room, she added, directed at him but really only for herself, quietly.
-"Thank you..."
And on this, Rasen proceeded to her own room, carrying with her new weapons and new knowledge.
