The Martial Unity

Rui had spent a few days at the Orphanage. Spending time with his family and catching up with all of them. He even spent time playfully training Max and Mana for Martial Art. Surprisingly, he found that perhaps their desire to be Martial Artists weren't too outlandish.

Max was quite strong and tough for his age; his muscles were remarkably developed for someone of his age and he clearly spent a lot of time on physically intensive activities. He had potential to be quite remarkable.

Mana on the other hand was remarkably agile and fast. She was remarkably nimble and light on her feet, capable mobile maneuvers.

Frankly, if they underwent rigorous and thorough training, they had a decent chance to eventually crack the Martial Entrance Exam when they were older. Perhaps they wouldn't crack it at the age of thirteen like Rui did, but atleast when they were older, it wasn't unrealistic.

Rui recalled how the most powerful candidates after the Martial Apprentices were the older students who were nearing the age limit of the Martial Entrance Exam. Their physicality and age, along with rigorous long-term training meant that they were among the best of the candidates.

Furthermore, with Rui training them, their growth should be greater than the growth of other future candidates of their age. Decades of studying, learning, research and development on the most optimal physical and combat training had sharpened his training senses extremely high. He was sure he could optimize the growth of their bodies and their combat sense with a customized targeted training plan.

Furthermore, he could prime their mindsets and attitude to be more conducive to discovering their Martial Art. Have them develop the tendency to introspect on themselves and their combat. He was sure the Martial Families did something similar, in perhaps a more thorough way. This would explain why the breakthrough rate to Martial Apprentices was higher in the Martial Community. The children of these Martial Families had been raised in a way that facilitated breakthrough to the Martial Apprentice Realm and discoveries of their Martial Paths.

After spending a several days with his family in a variety of ways, Rui eventually returned back to the Martial Academy. He had far too much to do to take an extended vacation.

First, he had set-up an appointment for each of the three Martial Families that had commissioned him for being a sparring partner for Martial Apprentices of their families.

Today, he was visiting the Frial Family to iron out the details of the commission contract.

Once he had reached the gigantic mansion, he was immediately tended to and guided by an attendant.
