In the past two weeks and more, Rui had beaten all the small and medium fries with ease. The theory he had come up with had turned out to be remarkably accurate. He hadn't run into a single top-level Martial Apprentice at all in the past two weeks. But he suspected that to change soon, the number of mid-level Martial Apprentices were almost running out, any time now he would begin being pit against the top tier Martial Apprentices.

His prediction had come to be true.

"Martial Apprentices." She addressed all of them. "Gather around."

Everyone wordlessly heeded, curious as to what was going on.
