His talk with his father had given Rui some insight into just how serious Emperor Rael was about seeing it to the end. Not that he expected his father not to, but his ambition had slipped to the back of Rui's mind.
The only thing that consumed his mind for the past three years was his own ambition.
Project Water.
Specifically, Project Heavy Hitter.
He still had yet to come up with a name for the technique even though it was very much complete.
"I'll figure it out when I gain inspiration." He shook his head. "For now…"
For now, he was much too eager to test his new strength and understand how much it had grown thanks to the technique.
Normally, one technique alone would never make that much of a difference, but Rui had a feeling that it would be a game-changer.
That was why he later found himself standing before Master Vertol at Darcol that day.
