自分's swordsmanship is mundane, but not mediocre. His swordsmanship is so mundane in fact, that he once made the act of slaying a dragon appear as mediocre as guard duty & easily accomplishable (Which is far from the truth) 自分's swordsmanship appears slow, when in reality it's so fast no one has evaded his attacks before (This is because his strikes are so heavy & focus greatly on acceleration)
