[ Surpassing her father is a logical goal in light of Mordred's place in history. Whether that drive was born from admiration or hatred, she clearly had something to say by staging the rebellion that became King Arthur's downfall.
The more specific goal to also challenge the sword of selection that King Arthur famously drew is a more curious one. Gray can see the glimmer of logic there — the closest thing to an objective evaluation of whether Mordred could be as worthy as her father... though Gray isn't sure if being an "equal" is the same as "surpassing." It seems to Gray like a roundabout way of proving herself. ]
Wouldn't it be simpler to fight King Arthur directly and make him, um, yield?
[ A valiant attempt to not condone (re-)patricide... ]
