Of course, ever since Eldrian broke through Tier 5 Vivian could no longer match him in a normal fight. He would always restrain himself -to only push her to her limits- the gap in attributes, specifically agility, too large for her talent to overcome.
Eldrian smiled, "Perhaps I could, but you need to be ready to act at any moment on the battlefield. Now, prepare!" He had naturally not been so crass as to tell her how much he had been holding back. But only now might she realize how large the gap had grown.
