The Martial Unity

Another advantage he had was that he knew what they knew, but they didn't know what he knew. In other words, he was the one ambushing them, not the other way around.

This is why he could set traps to catch them off-guard.

The final advantage he had was that they were operating on what was essentially misinformation in regards to his power level. That was a huge advantage that would do him well at the beginning of the fight.

"Huff…" He exhaled lightly. "I just have to hope that that does me well enough."

Days passed as Rui trained hard, preparing for the dreaded day.

Eventually, it came.

Two weeks had passed since the briefing. And the day of the assassinations had finally arrived.

Master Reina's body had morphed to match his silhouette as she donned the Voidreaper attire, heading off to complete the pre-assassination protocol.

His death-wishers were deliberately staying away from the assassination. M was nowhere near the location of the assassination, as far as he could tell.

That made sense. It was best to ensure that there were no inconveniences.

In the past two weeks, he had thoroughly prepared himself for the assassination. He had also gotten a good full night's sleep the night prior, having completely refreshed his mind and body.

He opened his eyes, leaving a deep meditative state to condition and temper his mind.

The atmosphere was tense.

"Are you ready, arrogant boy?" Master Gurren asked.

"I am," his voice was calm and composed.

Yet it was also steely and firm.

"Good," Master Gurren nodded. "Now get going. And survive. I still need you to teach me that Parallax Method."

"Hah…" Rui chuckled. "Of course."

Sometimes, the Martial Master just could not be honest.

He got up, leaving the mountain the Master resided upon, heading out down his regular path through the Great Jrava Mountain range that he had been following for nearly two years now.

As he got closer and closer to the point of assassination, the atmosphere became heavier.

His demeanor remained unchanged on the surface.

But inwardly, he grew graver and graver.
