Leonard relaxed as he felt the pressure of the wind element around him.
Leonard's move was the same, but he was applying it differently.
Rather than forcing his hand to perform an extremely powerful strike, he was pushing his own body with the wind element.

The spot where Leonard's sword struck left a mark on the ground. It was certain, just by looking, that Leonard had gotten stronger and faster than before.
