Tensions in East Panama kept escalating as the controversy over Rui's actions in the eastern headquarters of the Panamic Martial Federation continued to become a boiling-hot topic.
The three Sage-level powerhouses did not cease applying pressure on the Kandrian Empire by repeatedly criticizing Rui for his crimes during a mere evaluation. Of course, none of them really gave a damn about the crimes—they couldn't care less about a random Master outcast from the Virodhabhasa Theocracy.
However, it was a good way of applying pressure on the Kandrian Empire. It was a good way to stoke war, which looked increasingly likely as the Republic of Gorteau and the Sekigahara Confederates failed to make much meaningful progress in finding out the method through which Martial Apprentices were mass-produced.
However, while the entirety of East Panama made a big ruckus, a few parties remained suspiciously silent.
The Kandrian Empire and the Virodhabhasa Theocracy.
