In the many months since the Martial fiscal committee that Rui trained, he trained hard and with the intention of not being disturbed. He did not want his immersion and focus to be disrupted.

Yet he was unable to live as isolated as he could.

"We require your input on the research and development of effective and efficient training methodologies for adaptive evolution techniques," a head researcher explained. "This is standard protocol, and we cooperate with all martial artists whose martial art has been allocated a significant budget."

Rui heaved a sigh. "Fine. But I shall only serve as a consultant. And I'm only willing to consult once a week."

"We can manage with that. We generally do not consume too much time so as to not impede the training of Martial Artists."

Thus, much to his chagrin, he was to serve as a consultant for the research and development of his own training methodologies.
