Speaking to Kane was quite good; they went on to speak for a whole day, talking about a whole slew of topics.
"So your Hungry Pain contribution was a whopping success," Kane remarked. "I can't believe you planned for that ten years ago when you gave it to us to create samples and evidence that the Martial Union could use to verify the effects of the technique. That's unbelievable!"
He marveled at Rui's foresight in and outside fights.
"Yes, but it also had a lot of unintended consequences," Rui heaved a sigh. "For one, it came at a rather sensitive period, considering how groundbreaking it is. It has caused many waves and drawn a lot of attention."
Rui recalled what Master Krakule had told him about how the Hungry Pain technique benefited Prince Randal and the Hawk Faction the most. It was certainly something that he hadn't expected, largely because he was not aware of the internal political situation of the Kandrian Empire when he had given the technique to Commissioner Rez.
