*Valerian shook his head, this boy knew nothing of combat against a dark lord; momentarily, he remembered his days as an apprentice, making foolish lunge assaults to begin. Even as a master of Ataru, he never went in for such an attack anymore, not starting off. Alas, due to his extensive knowledge in such tactics, he knew exactly how to counter it and prepared himself. The force building up within him, fueling his reserves and empowering himself and every action he would make.*
*His senses enhanced via the force, he quickly began his defense, bringing the blade from behind him into an uppercut swing. The blade went from being pointed behind him, to him sliding his right foot forward and bringing the blade down and up with his movement. As Jaiden's blade would slash at him, Valerian's lightsaber would come up and collide with his sword, aiming to send the blade flailing wildly up in the air. If this succeeded, Valerian would keep his left foot planted and bring his right foot up to "big-boot" at the boy's torso. Aiming to knock his wind out and send him back a meter or two.*
*Valerian knew he could've ended the battle before it ever began, the boy's attack a foolish one that left far to many openings. Over eagerness was never a way to defeat an opponent, it generally brought the user his or her own death.*
You're too eager, patience is a virture even a sith favors.
*Valerian would take a step-back, regardless of his kick succeeding or not, he wanted to be ready for any form of retaliation, it would be senseless for him to be caught off-guard by a mere boy who sought his instruction. It would make him appear weak, and that he was far from. The force continued flowing into him, swirling him like a vortex as he constantly consumed the taint of the dark-side.*
