The Martial Unity

"It is," Rui nodded as he gazed at his palm. "I'm glad it turned out well."

"Wait," Kane brought his hands to the temples, confused. "You created a new technique in the time period between me leaving and you purchasing a training slot?"

"More or less," Rui nodded. "Well, creating a new technique is a tad bit overselling it considering I just put together elements from certain techniques to create a new one. It wasn't that hard, honestly."

Kane just stared at him with a shocked expression. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he had seen that strange new palming technique that Rui had used to dispel the water.

Rui had been so successful in dispelling the wave with his little palm technique that he had drawn the attention of many Martial Artists from him. They even started to look at him differently, considering him to be stronger than he was.

Funnily enough, this was something Rui was accustomed to. He had gone through this for quite some time.

Even on his mission to Vilun Island, he had been perceived as a grade-ten Martial Squire the entire time, back then he had merely been posturing with the Mind Mask, of course. In the Shionel Confederation, he hadn't actively tried to convince people that he was a grade-ten Martial Squire, in fact, he was just trying his best in the dungeon, and his preparations had allowed for him to exceed his normal level. The Shionel Confederation had naturally become convinced that he was a grade-ten Martial Squire at a bare minimum, given many of his feats.

Most Martial Artists did not have the ability to feel what was going on over longer distances, thus Rui could at least take some comfort in knowing that he probably was not being watched nearly as much as being noticed.
