The Martial Unity

Rui didn't have time to spectate the fights of others as he ran away, yet it appeared that he had moved a second too late.

A Martial Squire chased after him rapidly.

He even used his newly created Gale Force Breathing, which made him more than twice as fast as before. Yet even that was not enough to outpace his opponent.

BAM!

Rui was forced to turn around and block a powerful attack with his guard. The two of them came to just a momentary standstill as the assassin succeeded in his goal of preventing Rui from running away while Rui failed in his goal of getting away.

That was probably why he himself had targeted Rui thinking he was only an ordinary B-rank Martial Artist.
