The Martial Unity

"That's how Martial Artists are," Prince Randal narrowed his eyes. "I have spent enough time around them to know their thinking patterns. They think differently from human beings, and they suck at communicating their thoughts to anybody, not a Martial Artist. But more importantly…"

"If Prince Raijun has somehow made great progress in the Apprentice Realm towards the Squire Realm then we need to curb the source of his success," Princess Rafia completed his statement. "However, I am unable to identify the source of his success due to a lack of data on Martial Apprentice growth data patterns at the moment. I will have to consu-"

"No, you're unable to identify it because as intelligent as you are, you're an idiot without common sense who is helpless without data," Prince Randal snorted. "Think!"

He turned to Princess Raemina and Ranea. "Assume what you two said before is true, then we can assume that the reason he was looking for a great trainer is because of the issue with the Martial Artist you mentioned. And if we put that together with the fact that he's been hiding his appearance the entire time. Then…the timelines make sense."

The three women stared at him, puzzled.

"…He hired Rui Quarrier as a trainer more than a year ago," Prince Randal narrowed his eyes. "Six months after that, Raijun's campaigning progress within the Martial Union started growing tremendously, and he made great headway even though he was in a bottleneck prior."

He turned to Raemina. "A bottleneck because of his Martial Art, as you informed me."

He turned to Ranea. "A bottleneck that he was looking for a trainer probably for just that, according to you."

He turned to Princess Rafia with narrowed eyes. "Putting all the information that each of us supplied, what do you think can be concluded?"

His so-called voidlet techniques earned thirty-one trillion Martial Credits half a year ago at the fiscal budget allocation meeting of the Martial Union.
