Amari decided on something just as the fight began. To improve the effectiveness of the sparring, he would only use his Knight Skills. It would cause him to get out of his comfort zone once more.
As much as he refused to admit, he got lazy with his thinking whenever he used his normal skill set.
It was exactly the same thing that happened in the battle against his Master. He did get a bit more creative towards the end, but if it had been a real fight, he would probably have died already.
This time around, he would make the utmost of his entire Knight skill set, just like in the fights against the bandits.
How would he do it? He had no idea. His opponent was already much faster. If he decided to cut out that half of his skill set, Shadow movement would be gone along with it.
Shadow Jump could perhaps do the trick, but it was a poor substitute compared to shadow movement.
'I'll figure something out!'
