"Heh, just because I'm big and slow does not make me less of a warrior. You quick ones always thing you've found the best way. Let me give you a brief lesson. I won't even use my acceleration spell. Now, attack me."

The samurai fulfilled Eldaire's request with several swings with his sword. Some bounced of Eldaire's shield. Some were redirected by his sword. Some were even redirected by his legs, head, and torso. Some hit nothing but air. After about 20 seconds, the samurai's sword had been swung at least 1000 times. However, not a single one landed. The samurai stood with the same emotionless stare on his face. No suprise.

"How?" he asked.

"Ohhh, gonna take advice from your adversary are ya?"

"Ha, if you don't want to answer then prepare to contiue. I need no help from you scum!"

"Alright, don't get all riled up. You must flow like a gentle stream. Give no resistance to the force. Redirect it instead. It's not about power, it's not about speed, it's not about intelligence. It's about reaction. It's about calm and peace of mind."

Eldaire spoke boldly, but he was beginning to question this belief. He had barely managed to dodge most of those attacks, and the samurai appeared to be holding back, merely testing him. This was no good for Eldaire cause he was giving 100%. His lungs burned, but he refused to breathe any differently. He could not let the samurai know how draining this was for him, or he might lose interest and finish him.

Maybe his speed really is too much.
