I'd like to chime in from the master mage perspective. Like Kale, Nako has been a professional fighter for roughly 21/22 years. although his weapon is magic. He's been practicing it since it manifested at 10, and has been using it ever since.Â
However, though he is skilled in multiple forms of magic, if he was relegated to using only one, a pure practitioner of that art would beat him, hands down. However, what he lacks in purity, he makes up in diversity.
Then there is the subject of melee combat. He has trained with a sword, but apart from for about a 3 month period, he only did it in passing to build up strength and a semblance of skill (think an office worker going to the gym for an hour a day), and again, anyone who has trained for melee combat would likely overpower him if he couldn't escape, or make room to use his magic.
But yeah, most fights simply come down to who makes the first mistake. be that dismissing the opponent out of hand due to them being young or simply making the wrong block to their feint.
