The Martial Unity

Rui didn't know how, but word quickly spread throughout the town of the Martial Squire attempting to take the general science exam. Apparently, that was revolutionary news for some reason.

Everywhere Rui went, he could feel the gazes on him from the people around him.

('Ugh, maybe this wasn't the best of ideas,') Rui groaned.

He disliked being the center of attention, it was annoying and at the end of the day he would rather be left alone, but he decided to stick with the course of action that he had chosen for Kane's sake.

He could understand where it came from, of course. It came from the idea that Martia, Artists could not be adept at any intellectual field because it contradicted what it took to become a Martial Artist. And they were mostly right, Rui had dedicated most of his life exclusively to Martial Art and nothing else.

The whole town grew absorbed in the topic as various opinions flew across the entirety of the little society.

"I respect Martial Squires, but it is arrogant for him to believe that he could just take on an exam that we spent many years studying for and pass it with ten days of preparation."

"It's as insulting as if we scholars thought that we could fight and defeat a Martial Squire in combat after just ten days of Martial Art practice!"

"Do you think he'll cheat? Since he obviously cannot succeed? Martial Squires have extreme senses far beyond that of the human body."

"I heard that there will be Martial Squires inspecting the exam in addition to other measures. Cheating should be impossible, right?"
