Rui didn't have any dreams.

It appeared that the state of sleep that let his brain rest after the Martial Mind was perhaps even deeper than normal sleep.

Regardless, it passed by in an instant.

Almost as if he had just blinked.

By the time he woke up, he felt quite refreshed, glancing at the Divine Doctor and Kane sitting around a fire.

"…How long was I out?"

"Huff…" Rui shook his head, heaving a sigh. "…Annoying drawback."

"You can just stop using the Martial Mind if you don't like it." The Divine Doctor lightly remarked with a frozen smile. "The same goes for the Martial Heart. Martial Seniors who don't actively use their Martial Heart will live twice as long as those who regularly use it."

"…Meh, it's worth it," Rui muttered impassively. "Besides, it can overlap with regular sleep, too, I notice. However, it does disrupt your circadian cycle."

The Divine Doctor's smile widened. "Living beings are not able to maximize every ounce of potential without some price to pay. The Martial Heart and Martial Mind, at their full power, at least, are transient and are elevated states of life. They are not normal, and they demand a price to raise one's self to such a level. These prices take a toll on the body. It's partly why the Panamic Martial Federation prohibits the sale or mass propagation of forbidden techniques."
