The Martial Unity

The Roschem Manor welcomed Rui as a guest and he was given his own guest room to stay at. This was a luxury beyond Rui's expectations. Fiona chattered with him a lot as they waited for the commencement of the mission.

He'd learned a lot more about Fiona by that point. She was a grade-ten Martial Apprentice, even after the update of the Martial Artist grade system. Which meant her prowess was the real deal.

"By the way." She said at one point. "Do you want to spar?"

Rui's eyes lit up in interest as he considered her offer.

"Sure." He nodded. He had considered the same thing, but he wasn't sure if it was wise to challenge her in her own home after she had invited him. "I've been wanting a rematch for more than a while."

"Alright." She grinned. "Let's get started then."

She took him to a sparring facility inside the Roschem Residence., making him sigh at how rich and loaded her family was. He had visited the Arrancar Manor before and had seen something similar there as well, but that was more than three years ago. Back then he lacked the contextual understanding as to how ridiculous it was, unlike his current self.

"This is meant to withstand the power of Martial Apprentices." She told him. "We can go all out here without a worry."

"Honestly..." Rui scratched his head. "It's gonna need to do more than just withstand the power of Martial Apprentices for us to truly be unworried."

She smiled at those words. "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

"Alright, if you say so." Rui shrugged.
