The Martial Unity

The feat she accomplished was amazing. The idea that Rui would be able to perform that feat on any normal human was great! He would be able to travel without any detection as long as he timed the technique perfectly well.

He would be able to appear and disappear, just like a ninja!

Rui did have a soft spot for ninjas, not as much as he did for martial artists, but definitely close.

He got up with a barely constrained grin.

"The training for Blink is rather straightforward." She said. "You train until you've mastered the execution, timing and placement of the technique. This facility has training resources that significantly make easier what is otherwise a significantly difficult technique to learn at the Martial Apprentice Realm."

Rui nodded, aware of everything in detail. He still listened to her explanations out of respect, she was far better than Squire Maxime who uttered only a total of five words to Rui across the entirety of five hours of training.

"The combat application of Blink is quite different from the stealth application of Blink, so we train those separately in two training stages that you will engage in simultaneously." She explained.

The first stage of the training was centered around mechanics dolls that blinked for periods longer than that of even an average human being. Rui was effectively supposed to play tag with these mechanical dolls, except he wasn't allowed to move except for when they blinked.

This did two things.
