The Martial Unity

1555 Agendas

Of the seven of them, only two of them appeared to have their own political ideologies that they genuinely espoused. Princess Raemina with her communist dictatorship ambitions and Prince Raul with his people-first doctrine.

The rest of them appeared to be shilling for the power blocs that backed them up.

For instance, it didn't appear to Rui that Raijun had a strong drive to pursue Martial power. He had become a Martial Apprentice at a remarkable age but then had never proceeded to reach the next Realm.

To Rui, that suggested that whatever his Martial drive was, the power that he possessed as a Martial Apprentice was enough to fulfill it.

Yet he also had the ambition to rule the nation. The only way he could have a strong drive to rule the nation but still be satisfied with the power of an Apprentice was if the reason he pursued his Martial Path was not the Martial power, but something else.

"He most likely became a Martial Apprentice only to have the status of a Martial Artist," Rui realized. "Once he had the status of a Martial Artist, he would gain more trust from other Martial Artists who distrusted normal humans to represent their interests well."

Yet he didn't realize that just becoming a Martial Apprentice was not enough. Martial Apprentices were children within the world of Martial Art, regardless of what their actual age was, they were treated as children on their Martial Path.
