Singular Dedication
The Sekigahara Confederate was much more impressive as a nation than he could have expected. Perhaps their stupid and rash Martial Artists gave the entire nation a poor rep, but otherwise he could understand why the Sekigahara Confederate had become a Sage-level powerhouse.
This nation dedicated everything to Martial Art.
As Rui followed Sage Shinken across the nation, it became evidently clear that all Martial Art related institutions and establishments received an astronomical endowment of resources and capital, while all other sectors received pittances in comparison. It was a shocking imbalance that was truly jarring to Rui as someone who came from a saner nation like the Kandrian Empire.
