The Martial Unity

"The sooner I land a death blow, the likelier that they will be unable to recuperate. If I act after this new united organization is created and settled in, then eradicating the assassination sector will be that much harder." Rui keenly concluded. "What's the timeline for the development of this new organization?"

"About two weeks." Professor Carl. "That is abnormally fast, but they are aware that they don't have much time left before everything completely unravels and falls apart. They're choosing decisiveness over caution, they can't really afford the luxury of the latter at the moment."

"Hm... It's a shame because that's a tad bit insufficient." Rui winced a little. "Manageable though. I'd need to start making preparations immediately. Are they holding a sort of inauguration ceremony?"

"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."
