He actually didn't feel any changes in his body for a decent amount of time after the Gangaer Drop poison was injected into his flesh, which was revealing the flaw that made it a low-grade poison.
('This is stupid.') Rui sighed. He would need to land the attack half an hour before the first signs of it affecting his opponent could be seen.
It was only after quite some time could he notice some dark purple patches on his palms. The poison had begun taking effect and had begun causing cell death on his palm. It was an alarming sensation as even the itchy feeling across his palm caused by the low blood circulation had disappeared from the affected areas, but he knew that there was no reason to worry. This was a relatively standard procedure and when it came to Martial Art-related procedures, he was quite certain that the Martial Union surpassed even the Kandrian Ministry of Martial Art.
None of the other poisons had too much of a visible impact on him, they pretty much blurred as time passed, Rui was quite thoroughly bored when the final compatibility test ended.
The restraints and cuffs came off automatically,
"All of the compatibility tests you've scheduled are completed, Squire Quarrier." The doctor informed him as Rui got up, rubbing his arms.
"How much time before the results come?" Rui asked as he put on his garments.
"Oh, it shouldn't take too long." The doctor told Rui with a smile. "Probably around a few hours depending on how much of a rush the medical analytics department is under. You don't need to wait here, of course, the data will be forwarded to you on your accounter."
"Understood." Rui nodded.
Rui thanked him before leaving the procedure room and heading for the training wing of the branch. His business with the Martial Union wasn't quite over yet. He still had the two techniques that he had purchased from the Martial Union that he needed to begin training.
"Excuse me." Rui addressed one of the staff members at the Martial support counter.
"How may I help you?" The staff member asked him with a courteous smile.
"I'd like to purchase the training resources for Tempestuous Feel and the Sonic Bullet techniques." Rui quickly told her.
"Yes sir, may I see your Martial license?" She asked, before verifying his identity as a Martial Artist and member of the Martial Union.
"Would you also like to purchase the tutoring services of a Martial Artist guide?" She asked.
"No." Rui shook his head. "Just the training resources will do for now."
He had spent a lot of money in a very short period of time, he needed to be mindful of his budget. Furthermore, he was quite confident in his comprehension and digestion of techniques. The two techniques weren't even that complicated, all things considered.
Hiring the few retired Martial Squires that served as training guides were quite expensive, he recalled from when he hired one for the Mind Switch technique. Back then, he had directly been modifying an existing technique, thus he had felt it was prudent. Furthermore, that was an Apprentice-level technique, it was much more expensive to hire Martial Squires for Squire-level techniques.
"Here are the training passes." She handed him two slips of paper that allowed Rui to make use of the necessary facilities for training in the two techniques he wanted to master.
The first technique Rui wanted to begin mastering was the Tempestuous Feel technique. It was quite important in more than one way. It not only would give him the means to sense his targets at range, boosting the Seismic Mapping technique, but it also would allow him to sense targets that were in the air more accurately. Furthermore, it also would give him the means to thoroughly sense the atmospheric factors that would end up affecting the trajectory of the sonic bullet.
It was a remarkable technique that fit his needs quite well.
Once he entered the sensory technique facility of the Martial Union with his training pass, he immediately sat down at a bench in the main lounge, pulling out the scroll of the Tempestuous Feel technique and unraveling it.
He didn't even bother trying to comprehend it as he quickly dumped all the information into his mind palace, before closing the scroll and his eyes as he was in deep thought.
"Interesting." He murmured as he finished reading through all of it soon enough.
The training for the technique relied on the premise that the body and mind possessed the capabilities to not only deeply detect atmospheric fluctuations, but to also learn to interpret them with enough continuous exposure and experience.
Thus the training regiment involved sealing off all of the senses of the Martial Artist forcefully while leaving only their sense of touch to atmospheric fluctuations unhampered. A tremendous amount of time would need to be spent by the Martial Artist in such a state in an environment with moving objects
('This is very similar to the training regiments for the Seismic Mapping and the Primordial Instinct.') Rui realized.
For those techniques, Rui had been required to seal off all senses but one so that he could focus on mastering and building the one sense that he was trying to master.
('Considering this a recurring theme across three techniques of different kinds and even different Realms, it is probably the case that this training method is a core training method for probably a majority of all sensory techniques.')
Rui wondered if they could even seal off all of his senses considering he had mastered Seismic Mapping and Primordial Instinct. The scroll insisted that the Martial Union could seal off all senses, including the techniques that one had mastered, but Rui felt an immense amount of skepticism towards that claim, he felt that such a thing should be impossible even when his rationality reminded him that the Martial Union was vastly more powerful than a measly little Martial Squire.
