It felt strange to be testing himself twice in a lifetime, but all newcomers supposedly had to go through trials today. The Elder Jensaarai, in light of this, had told him there would simply be a combat test. Cyrus was fine with that. It had been a long time since he had sparred against a lightsaber user, after all.

The Jensaarai could hide their presence well, but they did not prefer surprise attacks. Of course, they would do so if necessary, but honorable, direct combat was highly favored. Instead of a long, protracted, cat and mouse game, they would face each head on. Cyrus activated his blue lightsaber, entering an defensive stance. He wished to see how his opponent would attack, hoping formulate a plan to counter his opponent's strikes. The Elder Jensaarai took notice of this, and initiated with a dash, with a reverse grip style, swinging his purple lightsaber from his left side.

Cyrus was a bit surprised. A reverse grip was highly uncommon, and for good reason. However, opening up with a reverse grip was not really a bad idea, as it would allow for a lot of momentum to be delivered into the first strike. Cyrus quickly stepped to the side a bit to lessen the impact of the blow, and quickly deflected his opponent's blade. Before his opponent could start another attack, he swiftly performed an overhead strike, which was also swiftly blocked by his opponent.

The rest of the duel went on for a while like this. There would be brief moments where Cyrus would have an advantage, only to be pushed back, and it was the same story with his opponent. While strikes did hit from time to time, they were glancing at best, and their armor ensured they were dazed for a moment, but still largely unharmed. After about fifteen minutes, the elder Jensaarai stopped the duel, convinced Cyrus was talented enough to be called a Jensaarai Defender.

Cyrus took his place in the banquet hall, finding himself to be the second person there. The first person was a female, who he assumed was a Jedi. Those robes she wore seemed like those of the Jedi, and seeing how this was Sanctuary, it wasn't hard to come to an educated guess. Cyrus decided to greet her in a monotone voice.

"[color=1b1464][b]Jedi. I suppose I should congratulate you on finishing your trials.[/b][/color]" 

Cyrus wasn't really sincere, but it was merely a formality. Cyrus always saw the Jedi as condescending, but it was a banquet, and he didn't wish to ruin the mood. Cyrus supposed starting his own trial on how fast he would be able to behead an arrogant Jedi, while amusing, would probably lead to him being exiled anyway.
