The Martial Unity

"I heard Kane was a favourite." Rui said. "Does that mean the other favourites among the descendants of the Martial community are also at his level?"

Fae nodded. "Talen-wise Kane is considered a top three among all the descendants of the Martial community. Though he isn't the most talented."

Rui's eyes flew wide open at those words. "You're telling me there's a prodigy even more talented than Kane??"

Rui found that hard to believe. Kane broke through at the age of eleven, and was so talented that he was easily on par with Rui, despite all of Rui's huge advantages. Up until, recently, Kane was comfortably stronger than him too. Rui was certain that if Kane loved Martial Art as much as he did, he might have gone to even greater heights.

Fae nodded. "Her name is Fiona. Fiona Roschem. The granddaughter of His Honour Grandmaster Sage Damian."

The granddaughter of His Honour Sage Damian, who was the Grandmaster of all the Academies in the Kandrian Martial Union, lived up to her pedigree.

"How strong is she?" Rui asked with sparkling eyes.

"I haven't seen her in almost two years, I don't know how strong she currently is." Fae replied. "But she's strong. I haven't beaten her a single time in any of our spars, despite being two years older than her. She's the strongest Martial Apprentice of our generation, probably."

"Damn, you're killing me." Rui complained. The more Fae went on and on about this girl, the more he felt impatient for the Kandrian Martial Festival to arrive.

"Don't be so hasty, get a hold of yourself." Fae threw a disapproving look. "It's still some time away, and as you are right now, you probably won't be able to beat her. Forget fighting her, you can't be sure you'll be elected as a representative."
