"Interesting." Rui murmured. "It does make sense to turn to human augntation or evolution if the superior physical paraters of Martial Squires were human engineered. Furthermore, it's clearly a procedure that only Martial Apprentices can go through, that should serve as a rather important clue when researching the breakthrough to the Squire Realm."
Rui resud reading, moving on to the next section.
[Introduction: The goal of project Apotheosis is to discover or create a stable and consistent ans of breaking through to the Squire Realm. As discussed in the previous section, the primary approach to fulfilling this goal is through a brute force attempt to naturally discover the process by engaging in research in all feasible ans of human augntation.
Although at first glance it seems to be far too large of scope to attempt, there are several constraints that reduce the number of possibilities from near-infinite to a much more manageable, albeit still extrely difficult, number.
The first condition is that it's a process that can successfully work only on Martial Apprentices, and only Squire Candidates, due to unknown reasons. It is clear that this ans physical augntation is not sothing that can be applied to humans or even most Martial Apprentices for that matter. That filters out several potential possibilities. The only physiological difference between Martial Apprentices and humans lies in the brain, thus we've decided to prioritize potential thods that aim to augnt humans to those especially related to the brain in any way whatsoever.
The second condition is that it is unlikely to be a process that is highly financially taxing. We can be relatively certain of this. If the Squire breakthrough is purely the result of one or more extrely valuable and scarce esoteric resources or technologies, then we would not observe the sheer population of Martial Squires universally distributed across the Panama Continent and human civilization. It is clear that the difficulty of the breakthrough does not co from economic constraints.
The third condition is that the process is singular, it is not a collection of fundantally different enhancent thods, but one enhancent thod at the core that fundantally enhances the body in its entirety. Thus, we can ignore thods that exclusively are completely limited to one portion of the body.]
"Interesting." Rui murmured. He did think this was the most reasonable path forward. He couldn't even begin to imagine how difficult stumbling onto the breakthrough of the Squire Realm was, but they certainly were being pragmatic about their approach to the matter.
He resud reading.
[Down below are certain avenues of research that are under consideration;
Varnardium Blood Refining Spongification.
Infire Leech detoxification.
Cranial Grecardian Bleoplast Infection.
Drilliomint Intoxication.
...
Brunhild Spore Bone Marrow saturation.]
"Wow." Rui muttered. He didn't understand even a single one of the ntioned avenues of research. He felt as though he was back in high school and college.
It was effectively the sa. The potential candidates of the breakthrough thod to the Squire Realm were all based on the esoteric phenona of the world of Gaia.
"I'm going to have to get Julian's help on this." Rui sighed. He didn't want to just skim on without, at the very least, gaining an understanding of the core of the thodologies involved. Otherwise, there would be no point in having morized the information at hand.
"I should also purchase information on the thodologies involved." Rui noted. "That way even if Julian is unfamiliar with sothing in the research data, I can provide the information needed on the matter."
Rui got up, imdiately leaving his dorm room. He headed over to the student affairs departnt and applied for a leave. He wished to head back ho so he could talk to Julian imdiately, now was the ti he would have returned from the Kandrian Institute of Sciences.
To his surprise, the application was accepted on the spot.
"Aren't these things supposed to take ti?" He asked, curious.
"Normally, they do." The staff mber replied, smiling. "But your profile is marked with the permission to leave the Academy any ti you want."
"I see..."
It seed even the Academy did not see the need for Rui to remain in it, at this point. It had no problem with him leaving whenever he wanted. All of this supported the notion that his ti at the Martial Academy was coming to an end.
Rui left the Academy as he headed straight ho. At his current speed, it only took him twenty minutes to reach the Quarrier Orphanage.
"RRUUUIIIII" Alice greeted him loudly with a smile when he arrived. "Surprise visit!"
"Hehehe." Rui smiled. "I had so free ti and so stuff to do."
"Co in!"
The adults and children all greeted Rui.
"Big brother, teach us Martial Art!"
"Yeah! Teach us Martial Art!"
Rui's Martial Art had fascinated all the children in the Orphanage, but of them all, it had truly struck Max and Mana the most. They had dedicated themselves to the training regis that Rui had told them to practice and it reflected.
Rui could see that their muscle tone had visibly grown since he last saw them nine months ago, which ant they were most certainly training very hard, just as hard as he did.
('I should put them through even more kick-boxing and Brazillian jiu-jitsu training like what I went through.') Rui mused. He had used the physical and combat training thodologies from Earth back when he had been training for the Martial Exam becoming remarkably proficient at them by the ti, he reached the age of thirteen. It certainly had helped him last in the Martial Exam and staved off the huge disadvantage he was at to a certain degree as far as the age gap went.
It certainly would give them an edge. At the very least Rui was sure they would eventually manage to get in before they cross the age limit for the Martial Exam.
"Welco back Rui." Julian smiled. "What brings you back on this surprise visit?"
Rui turned to Julian. "I need your help with sothing, I think you'll find it interesting."
"Oh?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "I already am interested."
