A little over four months passed by quickly. Time was often a blur to those who had immersed themselves in training. Especially to someone like Rui, who truly lost track of day and night thanks to his relentless training and immersion. Furthermore, his tolerance of potions made it even more difficult to keep track since he didn't have daily sleep cycles.

The reason he did this was because he knew Rui got stronger as the fight went on, he would alter his placement, timing and application of techniques, as well as general course of actions and tactics throughout the entire fight to better deal with his opponents.
