The Martial Unity
chapter-709

An entire hour passed as Rui helped her gain a crude understanding of the outside world. In the span of the discussion, K'Mala had her mind blown more times than she could count. By the time, the discussion ended and she left, she was left in a little daze with the information overload.

Rui hoped that their discussion hadn't gotten her to forget the official negotiation talks that they had had.

Rui immediately sent a request to Martial commissioner Derun for the confidential information that was required as per the terms of the agreement. He immediately set the entirety of the translators in the diplomatic team into translating the data into the Vilun dialect so that they could comprehend.

Of course, things weren't that simple, there was also the need to, to a certain degree, simplify the data and spell out the conclusions that could be inferred from it. The G'ak'arkan Tribe lacked the personnel that could analyze and process the data in its raw form. This was why Rui had requested a week, it was needed.

A week passed soon enough, and the day for the exchange of information and demonstrations had arrived.

The demonstrations would include many techniques from both sides, at the Squire and even Senior level, they could not be conducted within the settlement or the village. In the end, Rui and Senior K'Mala decided to hold the demonstrations in one of the barren patches of the island where their demonstrations would not harm the natural environment of the island.

"You're a little late," She tapped her feet as Rui and the others arrived at the location that they had agreed upon.

"You never specified a time in the first place," Rui sighed, amused.

"I said the first crack of dawn," She snorted.

"You do realize that the timing of dawn depends on altitude, right? You guys are on a mountain, we're on a hill, therefore we'd see the light of dawn after."

"Excuses," She snorted, unconvinced.

Rui sighed with resignation. "Regardless, we're all here. Let's begin."

Rui looked around.

Numerous Martial Artists had gathered here, among which were two Martial Seniors and many Martial Squires. On Rui's side, there were several normal humans as well, they were to serve as translators for the Martial Squires, each tending to one Martial Squire.

"Alright, as agreed, you will begin the demonstrations," She told him.

"We'll go alternatively, in the order of the techniques that we listed," Rui added. "…And the first technique on your list was… me."

"That's right," She nodded with impatience. "It's your turn to begin. Demonstrate that technique in any way you wish."

Rui sighed, as the many Martial Squires looked at him in interest and anticipation. Even Senior Ceeran, who had resolved to stay silent in fear of getting in Rui's way, was smiling. Rui looked around as he spotted a suitable target for demonstration.

There was a larger boulder in one direction that was just at the right distance from Rui.

"That will work,"

He opened his mouth and launched a Sonic Bullet at the boulder.

THWOOM!

BANG!

A foot-wide crater emerged. Rui had reduced the power of the attack to the standard of a mid-grade Martial Apprentice since the reason this technique was sought after was because of the aim, not the power. He also did not want to destroy that large boulder with a single attack, since that would miss the point of the demonstrations.

WHOOSH!

He immediately took off into the air, lashing around zig-zagging within a constrained area, all while firing many Sonic Bullet techniques in the direction of the target.

THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Each attack he launched in the middle of rapid and non-uniform flight, landed exactly where he had launched his first shot. Not a single attack deviated by even an inch, maintaining the perfect crater that only grew deeper with each attack.

The many Martial Squires on both sides stared in wonder as Rui nailed the bullseye that he had created with his first shot, from more than a kilometer away from the target. For Martial Squires, such accuracy from such a distance away with such a small projectile, that demanded greater precision, was pretty much impossible!

Even Senior K'Mala's eyes widened as Rui casually fired many attacks rapidly one after the other and they all traveled a great distance before hitting perfectly on the already deep crater.

BANG!

The Sonic Bullet broke through to the other side as a clean hold had passed from one side to another. Rui landed on the ground before launching a final attack that passed straight through the hold, hitting another rock that was behind it without ever touching the drilled boulder despite going through it.

"That should be enough for a demonstration," Rui remarked nonchalantly as he casually glanced at Senior K'Mala.

"…Yes, that's good enough…" She managed to squeeze out.

The Martial Squires of the G'ak'arkan Tribe moved over to the boulder to take a closer look at Rui's handiwork. They studied the hole that his repeated Squire-level attacks had made.

"The hole is not that rough," one of the G'ak'arkan Martial Squires mentioned as they rubbed their palms along the inside of it. "What incredible accuracy!"

None of them were concerned regarding the lacking power of the attack, they knew that he had limited himself since the entire bould would have been reduced to smithereens with a single attack or two had he used his full power.

"This technique, we definitely need to get our hands on this technique!" The Martial Squires' greed for this technique only grew deeper. They had long heard about this technique when Rui had first used it in his debut battle against the K'ulnen Tribe. It had been hard to believe back then, but seeing it in the flesh was almost harder to believe.

It took a while for them to get over their fascination, to the point that Senior K'Mala needed to drag one of them back herself with force!
