I agree with Dark. And if the battle was not a metaphor, perhaps she was fighting a training dummy. In "Search and Destroy" she did say that once she realized she could fight, she knew there was nothing else she wanted to do. So, maybe as a test, her father or someone pit her up against the knight to see if she was ready.
