"The sooner I land a death blow, the likelier that they will be unable to recuperate.

"Just a small announcement speech. They're not big on ceremony, you see."

"Well, are the three Martial Seniors who are sticking around going to be there?"

"Well, yes." Professor Carl replied. "Why?"

"That's perfect," Rui smirked. "I need to go, I have preparations to make."
