Epiphany

Rui woke up almost instantly after he closed his eyes.

Or at least, that was what it felt like. 

"In reality, you have been asleep for three days, Your Highness," the doctor specifically assigned to his care told him. "It appears that your exhaustion from deploying a particularly mentally draining technique persists."

This was the price of the Megamind technique. It exacerbated the need for sleep of the Martial Mind greatly, causing him to sleep days at a time. It was one of the several drawbacks of the powerful technique.

Thankfully, they had rested him in the manifold in order to accelerate his recovery in the real world. It was a new policy that the Martial Union and his father had come up with in order to ensure that Martial Masters and Sages could be restored to their peak condition as quickly as possible.
