The Martial Unity

After Rui fleshed out the requirements and objectives of his second technique development project, he put it aside for the time being. He would need to do more research before he could flesh out both of his projects any further.

('I should give the projects names if I'm going to have more than one.') Rui shrugged. ('For the piercing technique, I should call it the... the Severer Project. The long-range technique project will be called... the Sniper Project.') Rui nodded. ('Both of these technique projects are centered around offensive techniques, I should probably develop a defensive project as well.')

However, deriving a defensive project was easier said than done. He needed to come up with a concept of a technique that was extremely potent with the cost of being very demanding on the accuracy of timing and placement of the execution of said technique.

('Well, for starters, it would have to be an active defense.') Rui noted.

Only active defense techniques were contingent on the execution of said technique, a passive technique was not particularly executable and thus would not improve based on parameters such as accuracy of execution.

('Inner Divergence is contingent on timing and placement.') Rui remembered. It was part of why his defense was that good. However, Rui wondered whether he could develop a technique even better and more synergetic with him than that.

('What kind of principles and mechanisms would end up requiring such a high degree of accuracy in timing and placement?') Rui wondered.
