The Martial Unity

"You're telling me you perform all these calculations in the middle of combat every time you use the Pathfinder technique?" Senior K'Mala asked him with a horrified expression.

('More actually,') Rui smiled. "Just about, yes."

The Martial Union and the G'ak'arkan Tribe knew about his remarkably potent Martial Path, but nobody asides from him knew about the VOID algorithm. Nobody knew the sheer amount of calculations that fired through his mind and the Mind Palace every time he created an anti-style to counter his opponent.

Senior Ceeran just sighed with a wry smile. He had already gone through this shock a long time ago and had gotten used to this truth, but the same could not be said about Senior K'Mala who had been presented with the ODA System for the first time.

Up until this point, she had been entirely unfit to even learn about it. The G'ak'arkan Tribe's mathematics had not progressed beyond the four basic operations of mathematics. However, she had finally gotten up to speed where she could read the ODA system protocols and calculations and not feel like a fool.

Yet, when she realized that Rui had executed all these protocols continuously in his fights against the K'ulnen Tribe but also in that impressive demonstration of the technique that he had given, she couldn't help but lose her composure for a brief moment.
