While his first victory was technically his first battle against a Martial Master, Rui was not interested in counting that. It gave him absolutely no meaningful experience against other Martial Masters.
If anything, he almost wished he could request a rematch for the lower third against someone he could test himself against.
Alas, the contract specified that the results of these matches could not be undone.
With two victories in the bag, he had secured the second-best outcome for himself. Even if he lost the third match, he would only be subjected to a punishment where he would have to compensate for their losses with Martial contributions.
Frankly, this was not a bad outcome as far as he was concerned. Making contributions to the Martial Union did not consume extra time or energy since he would just be sharing things that he had already worked on in the past.
