"Project Bounce." Rui nodded. It was as good a name as any.
While Rui had other ideas, he decided to stop at three projects. In fact, three was pushing it, but Rui wanted to gauge how difficult the process of developing his own techniques was. He could learn more about the challenges of developing his own techniques if he had a larger sample base to judge that from.
Besides, he didn't think that he would be necessarily finishing these projects soon. He didn't think it would be that easy. Martial Squires didn't normally break through to the Senior Realm in the span of a few years. Rui was prepared to persevere for as long as needed, though he wished to speed through the journey as much as possible.
('Project Severer, Project Sniper, and Project Bounce.') Rui nodded.
He got up, stretching before skywalking back to the Orphanage. The sun was setting, after all.
('Julian will have been back by now.')
He intended to inquire about the viability of his projects to Julian. While he didn't think his brother would be able to magically provide him with the solutions to his problem, there was a good chance that he would at least be able to point him in the right, or at least helpful, directions.
Once he arrived at the Orphanage, he spotted Mana and Max sparring with their Apprentice instructor. He quietly avoided their field of vision, not wanting to interrupt their training. Still, he could see that they were making an impressive amount of progress on that front.
('As for whether it will be enough to pass the entrance exam...') Rui sighed.
For one, asides from the first round, the Martial entrance exam was ever-changing so that no specific targeted training could be used
