There was no need to lecture; Hadama preferred actions to words, and if Kaiden desired advice the King hoped they would be wise enough to ask for it after their training bout ended. For the moment they were only just beginning, however, and he felt his blow strike true against the shark's body.
The contact as he swam by was sustained enough to feel Kaiden's muscles begin to twitch against the edge of his fin and Hadama twisted away, surprisingly lithe for such a large creature. He might have had neither teeth nor venomous barbs to defend himself with, but he had speed and agility all out of proportion to his size and he used both to evade Kaiden's thrashing tail.
Knowing that his best course of action was to deny his opponent the freedom of open water, the king continued to swim swiftly as he angled his flexible body up and around in a loop, coming back to strafe Kaiden again on his other flank and hopefully keeping him pinned low against the sharp coral below, letting it do what his own toothless maw could not.
