"Did you notice, Sai? How your movements became sharper as you lost your healing magic." Two months ago, after we had just finished taking on the copy boss(that's what I'm calling it), Sheele asked during training.
"Not really." I did have a giant sense that it became a little easier but it was because of the fact that Katarina killed its other half.
"When was the last time you swung a sword while fighting without using your healing magic? Apart from this one." I thought about it and came to a conclusion.
"None." Every fight I have ever had in this world, I always made sure to keep healing ever damage I take.
"Let me ask one more thing. Have you heard of the saying, man and sword as one?" Of course I had. It was one of the most famous sayings in my previous world.
So much that they made it into several abilities in fiction and modified it beyond its actual meaning.
