The following days became a period of adjustment, where Arjun consciously chose to prioritize control over speed, resisting the urge to accelerate his progress in favor of solidifying the foundation he had built, even if it meant appearing less impressive in the lane.

This approach did not produce immediate results in terms of visible performance, and in some cases, it even made him seem slower compared to others who relied on raw instinct, yet internally, he could feel the difference, the growing stability that allowed him to repeat movements with increasing reliability.
The system acknowledged this shift quietly.
