The Martial Unity

"Let me guess," Kane raised an eyebrow. "You're going to come with another technique in less than a day, and figure out a way to overcome this?"

Rui turned to him with furrowed eyebrows. "Unfortunately, no. That technique was something I already had all the necessary tools for. That's why I was able to deal with it so quickly. Otherwise, coming up with a technique that quick is normally impossible. In this case…"

He turned towards the rain of lightning pouring down on the valley. "In this case, I just don't have all the tools necessary. I'll need to truly start from scratch."

His thoughts immediately turned toward the Raiju. Watching it had given Rui some inspiration on the spot.

Watching its form alone had given him some ideas, let alone the lightning attack that it launched. Rui wondered what the principles behind that were. It was possible that it simply directed an immense amount of charge at Rui, and the potential difference between Rui's neutrally charged body and the immense negative charge from the raiju's body caused the negative charge to bolt toward Rui.

Though he wasn't entirely sure, regardless, it had given him some ideas.

Unfortunately, many of his more ambitious ideas weren't something he could work on by himself in the middle of nowhere. He needed access to resources that he would have had at the Martial Union.

It was at moments like these that he recalled the benefits of Commissioner Reze's deal. He wasn't foolish enough to think that there were no upsides to the deal. Being an internal subordinate of the Martial Union meant that he could access these resources any time he wanted.

The Martial Union's training resources were so comprehensively vast and wide that these alone were quite a big plus to accepting the deal.
