Rui found it to be quite refreshing. Heading out and exploring of his own volition rather than the commission of the Ministry of Ecology and Environnt or the Martial Union was sothing he hadn't done much of.
He had to admit, that this mission had given him a taste for independence. He had complete control over the diplomatic approach to the G'ak'arkan Tribe. And he also had complete control over the settlent.
He had to admit, the freedom was relieving, although it certainly ca with its fair share of responsibilities and burdens. Since he was taking care of others.
However, this venture would most likely co with all of the freedom of the forr, and few of the responsibilities that had co with this diplomatic mission.
The only people they would be responsible for were themselves.
"Well… Now that you ntion it, that does sound interesting," Kane admitted. "It will be very dangerous though."
"Oh co on, we're Martial Artists. That is par for the course," Rui shrugged.
Neither of them was wrong, of course. Considering that the dungeon would be attracting Martial Squires from all over their section of the Panama Continent, it was no doubt going to be fierce in competition.
"Regardless, that's not happening any ti soon," Rui shrugged. "It's just an idea I threw out there. We could choose to do sothing else. Or if you have your own plans, that's fine too. We can talk about it when the ti cos."
"Yeah,"
The two parted ways after talking so more. Rui had students to ntor, after all.
In the past six months since Rui had begun ntoring his two students, they had made a lot of progress. It had been grueling and brutal. But he had managed to get his students to work hard and get past a lot of the hardest parts.
Senior Ceeran faired better for the earlier part of the education session, but Senior K'Mala not only caught up to him, much to his dismay but also surpassed him.
This was very impressive considering he had already been studying it for quite so ti by then. He simply needed to get her up to speed. He had suspected that this would happen, K'Mala was quite bright and while the culture shock and a drastically different worldview had held her back at first, it had begun to grow on her as she imrsed herself in studies. The only concepts of mathematics that both of them studied were ones that were necessary for the execution of the ODA system.
He did not even go one hair beyond what was necessary. He knew damn well that being able to master what they were learning at the given mont was going to be difficult as all hell.
"You're late," Senior K'Mala grumbled.
"Sorry, I was caught up with my own training," Rui smiled.
"Working on that new technique, are we?" Senior Ceeran's eyes twinkled. He had noticed that Rui was using the long-range facilities quite frequently. It was entirely clear that he was working on sothing new.
"Perhaps," Rui shrugged it off. "I am not relevant at the mont. But what is relevant are the elentary first-order differential equations you solved." Rui handed out papers to both of them. "You both did decent, congratulations."
At that mont, one would find it hard to believe that these were both vaunted Martial Seniors. The feeling of cracking an exam was a universally good feeling.
"I think you have reached the proficiency that I require you to have," Rui remarked. "Your calculation skills have grown better as well."
Rui had them do their calculations on an abacus. Abacuses were great ans to improve ntal math calculation capabilities. The instrunt allowed for quick calculations, and once they reached a high level of mastery, they would be able to essentially envision the abacus in their mind and solve large calculations instantly. This was a modern thod of improving ntal calculations back on Earth that had very promising results.
He didn't need it himself, compared to the Mind Palace that serves could serve as RAM, Random Access mory, for him. He could complete even greater calculations extrely rapidly through ans of processing that resembled that of computers. Abacuses were primitive to him, but they were just what the two Martial Seniors needed.
Their growth was appreciatable when considering that they were elder adults. Younger adults and adolescents would not have taken nearly half a year to get to where they currently were. Rui in his previous life as a student would have completed it in less than a month.
Still, it wasn't bad, all things considered.
"Alright," He smiled. "It's ti."
"For what?" Senior K'Mala raised an eyebrow.
"To learn the ODA system," Rui's smile remained unchanged.
Senior Ceeran's expression grew more solemn and yet more enthusiastic. He had seen the ODa system before since Rui had submitted all the data to the Longranger Sect. However, he had to admit, that its complexity greatly surpassed his wildest imagination. He had imdiately co to learn that he was vastly unfit to learn the so-called ODA system. Looking at the equations and protocols, he may as well have been reading languages that he didn't understand.
He could only laugh at how unworthy he was of the technique back then.
('Things are different now, however,') His eyes narrowed. His understanding of algebra, exponents, trigonotry, calculus, and differential equations was much better than they were when he had first attempted to try and master them. Maybe, this ti he could pull through.
He couldn't help but gaze at Rui with respect and admiration for having created such a technique. The more Senior Ceeran had learned about the relevant math and physics in the past nine months, he had to admit, the more he found it absurd that an eighteen-year-old Martial Squire had co up with that technique. It was mind-boggling and simply didn't make sense. Yes, Rui had a proven mind that was extrely capable in any endeavor of the human intellect, but Senior Ceeran had a nagging suspicion that that alone was not the whole truth.
There had to be sothing else, sothing Rui was hiding from everybody.
