"The Martial Path seems to be a product of one's mentality and experiences," Julian explained. "It makes sense that a lifelong exposure to a certain field of conflict would influence the Martial Path of a person."
"I see..." Rui was absorbed in thought. "I bet the Martial community of the Kandrian Empire employs several means to condition their offspring to be likelier to have a Martial Path that is more desired."
"They do." Julian nodded.
"But, it doesn't necessarily always work," Rui concluded, as he thought about Kane. Kane was the heir of the Arrancar family, he no doubt underwent a similar process if such a thing is a common practice in the Martial community. Yet despite that, his Martial Path was the polar opposite of that of his father. Instead of a fearsome aggressive offense, his Martial Path was centered around evasive maneuvering.
"Indeed, it doesn't." Julian nodded agreeing. "Ultimately, there are many variables and factors that influence the Martial Path prior to its discovery. It is most likely impossible to absolutely control what one's Martial Path will be. At most, one can influence across a long period of time."
"Incredible..." Rui murmured as he considered the various matters that instantly came to mind.
Was it possible to employ hypnosis to manipulate one's Martial Path? He wasn't sure if that worked. However, the fact that he had never come across anything of that sort whatsoever in the Martial Academy prior to the discovery of his Martial Path likely suggested that such a practice was not the norm.
Julian smiled, seeing Rui deep in thought. "By the way, you said you wanted to speak to me about something. I didn't intend to hijack the conversation to turn it about myself."
"Ah, right." Rui shook his head. He's almost forgotten why he'd wanted to talk to Julian in the first place. "I wanted to get your thoughts on something."
"Go on."
