The Martial Unity

Rui had much to think about the previous fight. It had been the first fight in quite a long time where he had been pushed to such a limit, and it helped him understand the current state of his power and progress.

Naturally, it also helped him realize his flaws and shortcomings.

'I need to be quicker with the Hypnomatrix,' Rui tutted. He had just gotten up after a good long sleep, refreshing himself a bit back at his personal quarters. 'Had I made my choice quicker, it wouldn't have gotten to this. This was despite having foreknowledge on her.'

Although the Beggar's Sect had offered him a good amount of knowledge into Senior Marna's abilities, it didn't offer insight into the nuances that he needed to figure out which Hypnomatrix technique to use.

By the time he figured it out, he was too busy trying not to die, being bombarded by the very land he stood on. Things would have been even worse had he not had any insight into her. He would have been completely blindsided by her niche abilities and there was a real possibility that he would have died.

That was why despite winning, and despite the satisfaction that came with adaptively evolving to and overcoming someone of her caliber, he didn't let it get to his head. He was not so superior that he had earned the right to look down on her.
