There were plenty of Martial Squires, each wearing ostentatious Martial Art attire. Some of them were accompanied by Martial Artists of the Senior or the Master Realm.
"Deivon," One Martial Master addressed him the moment he arrived. "I'd heard that you actually chose to patron a contestant this year. It appears that that was not false."
She appeared to be even older than he was.
"Ria," Master Deivon replied back to her.
She turned her attention to Rui for a brief moment, before her eyebrows furrowed as she frowned.
"He…"
She turned to him with a concerned expression, Master Deivon in turn had a smug knowing smile.
This little interaction with Rui confirmed that Martial Masters had the ability to gain deeper insight into people. He was quite sure that it didn't operate on the same principles that he operated on when it came to gathering insights into people. A systematic way of gathering and processing data to gain even more data on them.
