Ed's expression remained unusually calm as he muttered softly:
"I just wanted to see how much of an effect the sword oil really has."
"Now that I've tested it, and my patience is running out, it's time to end the battle."
Ed spoke these words with an incredibly serene face, but across from him, Brian's mind was in complete turmoil!

Ed's sword was steady and fast, every move precise and flawless, without any hesitation or wasted effort. Compared to Brian, it was as if they were worlds apart!
Before, Ed had been holding back, merely testing the effects of the sword oil, not fully using his swordplay—or rather, not attacking at all—only defending.
