The Martial Unity

"What was his Martial Art like?" Rui asked Kane, as the question popped into his head.

"Funnily enough, it was eerily similar to that of Senior Xanarn's," Kane remarked. "Actually, it was extremely similar to Senior Xanarn's now that I think about it."

Rui furrowed his eyebrows in response.

That was indeed an odd coincidence, he wondered if Tokugawa was a disciple of Senior Xanarn. Perhaps he had inherited a good portion of her Martial Path that explained why his Martial Art resembled hers.

He wasn't sure if that was the case though. How could a disciple surpass the master when they weren't even of the same Realm? Although it was technically possible that the man had absorbed Senior Xanarn's teachings in a very brief period and then quickly surpassed her after learning everything, that was far more than just a little unlikely.

Once the sparring session finished. Senior Xanarn spoke with all the guardians one-on-one to give them tips and areas of improvement, that was the true yield that the Martial Squires were looking for. The insights of a Martial Senior were the reason that they chose to partake in this sparring session.

Rui smiled with excitement, he couldn't wait for her to reach the tenth class, and he looked forward to sparring against her with everything he had.

"Sir?" A messenger from the management department addressed Rui.

"Hm?" Rui turned towards her. "Yes?"

"The deputy director of the intelligence department wishes to speak to you," She informed him. "Please head to his office as soon as possible."

Rui had expected as much, nodding.

The intelligence that he provided to the intelligence department on the superweapon that they had commissioned from Frigga Industries was sure to attract a lot of attention. The only reason he hadn't been summoned immediately was that the report needed to undergo processing by an analyst of the department before it would be categorized or organized by the protocols of the system.
