I wasn't saying you weren't saying that either, I'm saying despite lacking real combat training she may have hidden potential in her abilities that could let her catch up fast.

Kinda similar to what Lady Phenex said about Ravel, when she was in her brother's peerage she didn't tend to fight so I'm betting he never really bothered to make her.

I bet once she started to actively fight more as of this tournament, that's slowly started to change. If Elmen started fighting it's possible she could start picking it up quickly.
