The Martial Unity

One day, news broke out in the Kandrian Empire about the birth of yet another prodigiously young Martial Senior. Squire Kane had returned from the Beast Domain as a Martial Senior after just three months of subjecting himself to the tribulations of the Beast Domain.

The disowned heir of the Arrancar Family had returned a Martial Senior. Many wondered what the Arrancar Family was going to do now that it had become apparent that they had the most to lose when Kane split from them.

With the appearance of yet another prodigiously young Senior who had shattered the previous record for the youngest Senior before Rui, the Kandrian Empire seemed to rank number one when it came to harnessing talent and actualizing it.

It was a source of prestige for the entire nation and painted a bright picture for the future.

Kane, however, avoided everything as he went straight to Rui, looking for him.

"Rui!" He called out when he reached the orphanage.

Rui turned, glancing at Kane's sky-walking and Martial Hearted figure.

He had already prepared a Mind Mask for some mental conditioning.

"Hehehe, I almost died, though," Kane replied, grinning.

The two of them did their best to play the act.
