The Martial Unity

1547 Presentation

"That makes sense," Rui nodded. "A technique that would instantly or rapidly improve the Martial Bodies of all Martial Sages, Masters, Seniors, and Squires is much superior to a technique that will only do so for future Squires, Seniors, Masters, and Sages."

"Of course, that does not mean that the latter is not extremely valuable. It certainly is," Headmaster Aronian reassured. "The Martial Union is an organization with a lot of patience. Thus even the long-term benefits of the Hungry Pain technique are extraordinarily valuable to us, rest assured."

Rui smiled. "You don't need to pacify me, Headmaster. I am fully aware of the importance of pragmatism. While perhaps centuries in the future there will be a Martial Sage born who will be fifty percent stronger thanks to my technique, I am aware that the Martial Union cannot possibly reward me with remuneration that is worth half of a Martial Sage for that distant outcome."

"I am pleased that you haven't taken offense," Headmaster Aronian replied, relieved. "Nonetheless, we will be remunerating and rewarding you handsomely. However, before we do, there is one thing that needs to be addressed."

Rui raised an eyebrow, waiting.

"The information that you provided to Commissioner Reze nearly five years ago details the training regime quite thoroughly and precisely, but you haven't explained the theoretical and scientific mechanics and principles of the technique. That would not be a problem if not for the fact that the Hungry Pain technique has utterly confounded our department of research and development. Many thorough observational and sensory experiments have been conducted to discern the principles of the technique, but they haven't been able to decipher the technique," Headmaster Aronian explained. "We have even had Martial Masters employ their senses into the body, but haven't been able to detect anything that could explain what is happening."

Rui smirked wryly at that.

Pain technique operated at a cellular but especially molecular level. Cells were broken down into elementary organic compounds and could serve to rejuvenate the body. The process was extraordinarily accelerated and magnified such that all dying cells were efficiently converted into
