The Martial Unity

"I see..." Rui murmured engrossed in thought. "Once my Martial Art has achieved Martial Maturity, then would I become a Squire candidate?"

Headmaster Aronian nodded. "As long as you fulfill both those conditions, yes, you will be considered a Squire candidate and we will begin the process."

"We will begin the process?" Rui frowned. "It's not a self-induced naturally occurring phenomenon like the breakthrough to Martial Apprentice?"

Headmaster Aronian smiled mysteriously. "Hoho... I'll answer that question once you come a Squire candidate."

"...Alright then." Rui slowly replied.

They were incredibly stubborn on this matter. Fae and Kane hadn't heard so much as a peep about the breakthrough process to Martial Squire, furthermore none of the Squire instructors yielded so much as an inch of information regarding the matter at all.

Rui sighed inwardly; he would just have to wait until he fulfilled both conditions. He suspected the first condition may have already been fulfilled, based on Master Aronian's choice of words. In that case, it was best that moving forward he focus on fulfilling the second condition as well.

But frankly, that wouldn't change what he was doing.

His Martial Art had most certainly not yet reached Martial maturity, he could feel it.

He knew it.

It was still changing immensely and was in its flux state, it had also not reached where he wanted it to reach. It was still incomplete.

Furthermore, Rui suspected that although he basically got a free pass for originality and uniqueness, he might have an extra hard time with reaching Martial maturity.

This was because he needed to go a long distance before his Martial Art could be considered complete. With the limited number of techniques that he had it was impossible for him to be able to adapt to all Martial Art. His Martial Art would change shape a lot until it became equally well-rounded in all aspects.

"Is there anything else you would like to talk about?" Headmaster Aronian asked, stroking his beard.

"Nothing in particular." Rui said, before pausing. "How much information about the other representatives can I find out at this stage?"

"I can give you a list of names." The headmaster shrugged. "But I'm afraid I cannot give you strategic information regarding them, I'm afraid. I do not have much of such information, nor would I give it to you even if I did. I can ensure that your information won't get leaked too, as much as I can. Although details and general information of your Martial Art and combat will undoubtedly disseminate, nothing too specific and important will likely spread."

list of names then. And thank you for the aid."

all. I would be a worthless headmaster if I couldn't accomplish this much atleast." He chuckled, as he began scribbling down on a piece of paper, before handing it to Rui. "There you go. If there's nothing else, you may
