When Ash returned his hair reached just blow his shoulders and as he enters the city everyone would notice that Ash had a stronger resolve in his eyes. Ash appear before Danu ready to show her how much he has learned, Ash and Danu would spar with Ash being defeated but would give Danu quite a spar showing a smile on her face but would pointed out the reason he lost their sparring match it was because he wasn't using his lethal strike ability to which he explained that he hasn't fully master lethal strike as such Ash would be so hesitant because he didn't want to kill anyone by mistake, after hearing Ash explanation Danu and her students understood Ash reason for hold back and would now help him better control lethal strike.
