Different Level

Rui wasn't sure, yet he didn't bother asking for clarification, it had already been made quite clear to him that nobody who knew the truth would reveal it so easily. Fae and Kane had both not been told about the breakthrough to Martial Squire, and Squire Dylon himself had refused Rui the truth, being purposefully vague and unspecific.

Still, Rui wasn't too bothered by this, he knew he would learn about the truth and even experience it himself as long as he traversed down his own Martial Path.

Once the event ended, Rui remained in the facility, looking for others to spar against.

Although he had tentatively mastered each individual technique alone, he hadn't fully gotten used to using all of them in combat. He'd decided he wanted to get more experience with them, it was better to refine it in the same environment of the Academy where he could afford to make mistakes than do so in the middle of a dangerous mission and lose his life as a result.
