The Martial Unity

“Hmph, I’ll handle whatever you throw at me,” She confidently stated.

The two conversed for a while before she decided to get up and leave. “See you tomorrow morning sharp at the crack of dawn. I can’t wait to begin learning this new technique. It’ll be fun to have my blood gushing through my body as I push it to the limit.”

Rui smiled bitterly as he realized she still had no idea what she was in for.

She would not be pushing her body to the limit any time soon.

Not at all, what she would be pushing to the limit was her mind. In every way possible.

He would be pushing her learning comprehension, her intellect, her memory, and her patience.

She would be learning the classical wave theory from scratch, while he would be giving mini crash courses on the various mathematical concepts that she should be needing to understand the ODA system. This included the entirety of algebra, trigonometry, exponents, calculus, and differential equations, partial and whole, of multiple orders.

There would probably be a lot of other mathematical concepts that she would be involved in that Rui would normally take for granted that she clearly would not know. But he would need to handle that on the run.

This was not going to be easy, several months would most likely go into getting her to understand and master the ODA system.

On the other hand, this process would probably not stretch out for as long as it did in school back on Earth because the objective of her education was highly objective-oriented. He had one goal; to get her to understand and embed the ODA system into her bones.

This meant that educating her was going to be much more straightforward. He wasn’t going to give her a shred of knowledge beyond what she needed to know to understand the ODA system.

He could construct her education program to ensure that he was only giving her what was necessary to ensure that she understood what she needed to understand. This way, he could really cut away a lot of the fluff that the education system had when teaching students these concepts.

This way it was more efficient than if he had to start all over.

He shook his head, putting away the thoughts for the time being. He had not needed to go to such lengths when it came to pass the technique on to the Martial Union. The Kandrian Empire just barely possessed enough theoretical scientific advancements that the ODA system was not incomprehensible to them. After all, the mathematics and physics that it relied upon were very far away from cutting-edge theoretical science. The knowledge itself was from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

He would need to spend some time today to create an educational training plan for her.

(‘I should take the advice of Senior Ceeran,’) Rui mused.

Senior Ceeran was also trying to master the ODA system, he should consult the man at least once to ensure that there wasn’t anything that he should be taking into consideration when accounting for her being a Martial Senior.

(‘Speaking of which…’) Rui’s eyes narrowed. (‘She said something strange just then.’)

Rui recalled her exact words.

(‘ ‘It will be fun to have my blood gushing through my body as I push it to the limit’ is what she had said’)

They were insignificant in a vacuum.

However, when he contextualized that statement with the insights he had made regarding Martial Seniors and those peculiar glowing veins of those, he couldn’t help but wonder if she meant that statement in a more literal way.

His eyes narrowed before his body loosened up, as he shook his head. (‘I have a lot of work to do.’)

When he returned back to the business of the settlement, he was unsurprised at the positive atmosphere. People greeted him with greater respect and appreciation.

This was especially true in the diplomatic team, that celebrated the most.

“This wouldn’t have been possible if you hadn’t done your job so perfectly well, sir!” Zeyra had told him when he ran into her once more.

“Good job young man!” Senior Ceeran had told him with an excited grin. “Now I can proceed with obtaining what I have always wanted.”

“Neatly executed as always,” Kane had given him a thumbs up.

It took him a while before Rui was able to finally get back to his own quarters and relax for a bit.

He looked at his personal accounter as he skimmed through his credit balance.

“As expected,” He smiled.

The Martial Union had already deposited a huge sum of money into his account. He bet the second that Zeyra and Stemple had finished the preliminary report of the success of the negotiations and signing of the contracts to the Martial Union, they paid him his due. His official mission was not successful to obtain all the techniques of the G’ak’arkan Tribe.

His official mission was to serve as a diplomat to successfully ensure that the G’ak’arkan Tribe would officially sign the contract agreeing to a number of trades that included all of the techniques of the G’ak’arkan Tribe that they possessed an interest in.

And now, he had very successfully accomplished that goal when all of his predecessors had failed spectacularly.

(‘Oh, there’s another message…’) He skimmed through it.

[Squire Rui Quarrier, as per the trade contract between the Martial Union and the G’ak’arkan Tribe featuring an exchange of the techniques Catastrophic Thundercrack Whiplash, Dark Abyss Bloodsurge, and the Mighty Roar Flash Blast of the G’ak’arkan Tribe and the Pathfinder technique of the Martial Union, you will be expected to abide by the terms and conditions of the contract. The royalties surrounding the international distribution of the Pathfinder technique, as per the Martial Art licensing contract, will be credited to your account shortly after the transaction is complete.

(‘Essentially telling me I need to stick around to teach them my technique and will get paid my royalties as agreed.’) He mused.
