Three weeks passed. Yet Rui hadn't undertaken another mission. In fact, not a single person had seen so much of a shadow of him after he locked himself in his dorm room with a box of books.

No one knew what he was up to.

Yet everyone was admittedly curious. The feat that he and the other performed in their previous mission had only spread more and more. It was practically impossible to hide such astounding news, especially since it had been heard by a large number of people in the Apprentice post-mission facility who technically were not bound by any rules to keep what they'd heard a secret.

And even if they were, the word would have leaked regardless.

Not a single person in the Academy or the other Academies was unsurprised. Rui had gone from being one of the strongest Martial Apprentices of his generation to performing a feat that was unthinkable for the Apprentice-Realm.

Of course, they did not possess the necessary contest to understand that the feat was exaggerated and completely blown out of proportion and was far more grounded in reality than it sounded. However, not only did they not know, they did not care.

The remaining four Martial Apprentices had been harassed to no short extent. It had reached the point that Kane, Fae, and Hever had taken medium-term missions away from the Academy because they weren't being left alone.

Nel, on the other hand, simply attacked every single person that wouldn't leave him alone, resulting in him being penalized, since conflict outside the ring was not allowed.

Rui inadvertently avoided it by locking himself in his dorm room, he didn't know what was going on in the outside world, and he didn't care in the slightest.
