A conversation has been brought to my attention and I'm going to give an answer:

You're right, "benkyo" means study,  but it doesn't mean "to study" under a person for a period of time. In the context of dialogue 188, it simply means Makina wants to learn tips and tricks from Asuka, and she shall study and understand her techniques.

Raki is not Asuka's understudy; she only went to her for advice for an extremely short period of time, which puts Makina in the same situation. Makina and Asuka is a short collaboration, not an understudy.
