The Martial Unity

Although there were always more ways he could increase the accuracy of the technique, he ultimately gave up on it. The problem was that the principle of diminishing returns made it simply not worth the investment. He would have to spend an incredible amount of effort in overcoming many obstacles for benefits that were simply too insignificant to justify the efforts.

In fact, the second phase of the ODA System was almost verging over the limit, however, it was because Rui was quite keen on extending his maximum distance at which his aim was fully accurate well beyond the norm. After all, the first phase of the ODA System would merely give him accuracy of the best marksman.

Of course, this was still a great boon and an incredible development, however, Rui was not satisfied with this alone knowing he could go much further, thus he had resolved himself to push himself further to obtain even more extraordinary results.

If he was not wrong, then it was quite likely that no Martial Squire possessed the long-range accuracy that he did!

Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if this extended even to the Martial Senior Realm, though he didn't dare to have confidence in that possibility.

Time passed as he worked on the Sniper Project, refining the ODA system and field testing the protocols to gain some data. The best way to test whether something was functioning as desired was to simply physically test and gain data that would clearly indicate if it was functioning as desired or not.

Rui spent time in various kinds of environments, testing whether his predictions and extrapolations of atmospheric conditions were accurate to reality or not. Each time he noticed certain deviations, he identified the problem and corrected it, trying it over and over until the result was satisfactory.

In the meantime, Project Bounce had made a lot of progress as well.
