The Martial Unity

Time quickly passed as Rui's life took on a bit of a routine. He would teach Senior K'Mala and Senior Ceeran about mathematical concepts, the theoretical framework of the atmosphere, and the classical wave theory. Senior Ceeran had already read up on the theoretical framework in the time after Rui had submitted the technique to the Martial Union. Thus, he was able to follow Rui's classes better than Senior K'Mala.

The latter found Rui's training vastly more difficult than she had ever imagined. She found that she had come across a problem that she couldn't just overcome with hard-headed perseverance. She needed to exercise her patience in trying to overcome difficulties with problems that she had never even fathomed before.

"You failed," Rui stated calmly as he scribbled crosses across a sheet.

Senior K'Mala's eyes narrowed at those words. "Tsk,"

"You just barely managed to pass, Senior Ceeran," Rui announced as he gave the man a smile.

Rui had been grilling them on their fundamentals very hard. He put an immense amount of pressure on them, and despite his instinctual fear towards both of them, he suppressed it and made sure to never let them off easy.

He couldn't give them an easy fun and joyful education when it came to what mattered, unfortunately. He had to impart an education intensity that matched high-intensity exam-prepping coaching classes.

What they were aiming to crack was much harder than any exam Rui planned to give.

Of course, when it came to the qualitative theoretical classes, he was a lot more patient, understanding needed to be nurtured, it could not be forced.

His own training was not easier than theirs.
