"I know," Arthur didn't stop training though, "but this is the best I can do right now."
"Why not use the pearl's energy?" Gege suggested.
"Too thin to withstand a drawn out fight," Arthur shook his head while performing one of his sword techniques, "I can't risk getting weaker in the middle of the fight."
"Then work on your energy," the golden dragon said, "you have two forms of energy… try to raise them then to strengthen your attacks."
"Maybe later," Arthur simply said, "I need first to regain my former familiarity with the sword."
When he started training he could tell how far he was from his past self. His energy expenditure was terrible and his moves were clumsy.
He needed time to adapt his dragonair body to perform these sword hits. "The main problem is that the single hit techniques are far better than the wide range attacks," he muttered while watching the tornado of swords he sent just now after using one of his techniques.
