Athis swings his sword with all his might, causing a large and deep cut into the side of the practice dummy. Yet, he is unsatisfied.

The other companions can cut a dummy in half! But here he is only making SCRATCHES! “ugh…” He groans, pulling the sword from the dummy with a few hard yanks.

All the other companions just see him as some elf with short swords. But he’ll show them. He’s not pathetic and weak like other elves… he’s not. So he swings again, and again, and again, vigorously.
