The sound of lightsabers clashing filled the area around the two whose orange and green blades were crashing into each other, one of them being a female Zabrak, the other was a young male Human. The blades crackled as they continued to make contact with each other repeatedly.
“That all you got master?” The young, brown haired man said.
“No, but I don't wish to hurt my student.” The red haired woman taunted back to him.
Quickly his blade went to hers again, rapid clashes as crackles were continued to be heard and minor sparks came off as the blades were pressed against each other. The Zabrak using the Soresu combat form to deflect his blows with ease before using a small amount of her force power to push him away onto his back as he slid against the ground a little. Though he didn't stay down for long as he got back up and the charged her once more, this time with rapid attacks of the Juyo form, though it wasn't perfect and currently was a little sloppy.
“You really shouldn't rely on that form, Zeall.” She spoke to her student, right away noticing how much more aggressive his attacks were.
“Why Master Sasari? Afraid I'll best you this time?” He grinned as he continued with his assault.
“No, because of this.” She simply spoke, curving her blade around his and then kicked his feet from under him, his blade flying in the air for a moment before being caught by the Zabrak and then pointed it at her student that was on the ground.
“Alright alright, you got me Master.” He spoke with a small smirk as he raised his hands.
Sasari turned off his lightsaber and handed it to him as she helped him up.
“How do you always beat that form? I was sure that I had you with it.” He added as he brushed himself off and then returned his saber to his belt.
“It's because you were still a little sloppy with it for one and two is that you shouldn't really be using that form, it's very aggressive, something that the Sith favor.” She responded back to her student.
“What? It's a good form, besides, plenty of Jedi before me have used that form,” He answered back, a little defensively.
“Yes, but it's been rare and only by Jedi Masters, not to mention, if it's sloppy, like with yours, it can become a weakness.”
He had a slight look of irritation on his face and responded with, “What? Are you saying that I won't master it or that I'll fall to the dark side if I continue to use it?”
Sasari placed her hand gently on her students shoulder, “Relax Zeall, that's not what I'm saying at all, all I'm saying is you shouldn't revert back to that form when your opponent has the advantage, such aggression is what Sith meet with and if your form isn't mastered, it can easily be turned against you and I don't want to see that happen to my student.”
Zeall let out a calming sigh, “I know master and I'm sorry for raising my voice, just...I know I can master that form, it just feels so natural when I use it,” He spoke back to her as he began to calm himself down.
“I know my student, I just want to guide you on the right path and teach you everything you need to know, that is my job as your Master.” Sasari responded back with a gentle smile.
“So...do you think I'll get to do my trials now? I know that I'm ready for them, I'm ready to become a Knight of the Jedi Order.” He asked in a hopeful manner.
“Not quite yet, but soon, I promise, you still have a few more lessons to learn.”
Zeall exhaled as he heard his master, “Seems like I'm never going to get to do my trials, didn't your Master give you your trials at my age?”
“Well I was a little older than you when I took them, but my Master saw in me that I was calm, level headed and planned out my actions, right now you're still so eager to become a Knight and whilst that's good to strive for, you still need to learn patience. This isn't a slight against you, you're still just young, but you'll be ready for your trials soon, I just don't want to get your hopes up and say you can take them, only for the rest of the Council to deny you the chance.”
“But your on the Council, couldn't you convince them that I'm ready for my trials?” He asked, hoping to bargain with Sasari.
“I might be able too, but if they sense that you're not ready, they will think I might be biased with you rather than objective, do not worry though, you're closer to being able to go through your trials than you think and I promise you that when you do take them, there will be no doubt in my mind that you'll pass.” She spoke with a smile.
Zeall lowered his head and smiled a little, his Master always knowing the right words with him and he understood Sasari's position, she was on the Council, but she couldn't just simply convince the others to do one of her requests.
“Alright then Master, how about round two?” He smirked to her as he drew his saber once more, the bright green blade extending out of the hilt.
“I guess being beat by your Master once already isn't enough for you.” She bantered back as her orange blade extended from its hilt, the two taking a stance as they got ready to spar again.
