Passage of Time

It had been a while since Rui had visited home. The last time he had done so was before he dove into his training three years ago. Of course, his family had long grown used to the fact that his path as a Martial Artist required him to be away from the orphanage for extended periods of time.

Rui was glad that they had shown remarkable understanding, although he still felt guilty in that regard. However, the good news was that he probably wasn't going to need to spend too much time away from the orphanage.

Although perpetual use of the dungeon was something that he had already written off due to a need for exposure to a variety of forces to grow stronger, he didn't mind using it to accelerate his training phases when all he needed was isolation. Thus, unless he spontaneously decided to leave Kandria for extended periods of time, he could be sure that he would be able to spend plenty of time with his family.
