Her opponent was good; he was not here to show. Even though Rosa pushed him back first to grab his attention enough for the ladies to escape. There was still the fact he was fighting to put her down. A couple of strikes he made almost crossed her neck. She blocked his attack with her cross blades. His Sai’s were only something she read about; there was no practical experience.
Thus, it was difficult for her to predict his moves. The worst was close combat. The short distance between his hand and the weapon made his attacks faster, while on the other hand, Rosa lacked space to make moves with her blade, which resulted in only blocks. Rosa tried to distance them, but the black knight kept closing the distance. His attacks were mostly stabbing with free. Rosa barely managed to dodge his stabbing, which made puncture holes in the room's fabric. Rosa sighed as she rolled away from the position and quickly put some distance between them.
