"I wonder what Headmaster Aronian wants from you..." Fae pondered out aloud. "Probably not going to be as simple as superficial congratulations and pep talk."

"I'll find out soon enough." He shrugged. "I'll catch you guys later."

He left after they bade him goodbye, heading towards the Headmaster's office.

It had been a month since Rui had spoken to him, he had consulted him once before the preliminary contest had begun and now, he was visiting him as the representative of the entire Academy.

He had arrived.

The large doors to the Headmaster's office opened.

A large office came into his view as he gazed at the figure seated at the headmaster's table.

"Headmaster." Rui bowed deeply, partly because of the great awe and respect he had for vaunted Martial Masters, partly because the sheer weight of Headmaster Aronian's mind pushing down on Rui, compelling him to bow.

Every time Rui encountered him, he was reminded about how deep the Martial Path extended, and how shallow his own depths were. Any arrogance one might have incurred as a result of winning the preliminary contest would certainly been thoroughly dispelled.

"Rui Quarrier." He spoke, stroking his flowing beard. "Come in."

Rui walked in as the doors closed behind him.

"First." He said, flashing Rui a smile. "Allow me to congratulate you on your victory in the preliminary contest. Congratulations on being chosen as the representative of the Hajin branch of the Martial Academies in the Martial Contest."
