'Given that my targets are Martial Masters, I need to curb the amount of theory in my presentation. I cannot impress them with words,' Rui realized. 'I need to demonstrate the power of my thought techniques in real-time. I need to show them just how powerful even a fraction of my Martial Art is.'
He could bring a large board with an array of flow charts, tables, graphs, and pie charts. But they would get bored and lose track of his explanations of the voidlet techniques.
'A demonstration, hm?' Rui smirked as an interesting idea came to mind. 'A demonstration it is.'
He finalized the idea then and there, for he couldn't think of a single thing that would impress them. It wasn't long before he began implementing it. He quickly contacted the Martial Union, informing them of his presentation and his basic requirements for them.
Naturally, the Martial Union enthusiastically agreed, as it immediately began preparing for the event on the date that Rui had specified. From eagerly setting the time and the place to any and all requirements that Rui had, they readily agreed to all of them without complaint.
If anything, it seemed that they were even more eager than Rui was for this presentation, which was a good sign of how eagerly they had been waiting for this day. As for the invitations, he purposely undertook them himself, reaching out to contact the Fire, Lightning, and Earth Sects, among others.
"Oh, you're holding another presentation, eh?" Master Iskan of the Fire Sect grinned when Rui visited the immensely large training estate of the Fire Sect. "Then I shall partake in it this time, my young friend! Your proposal is entertaining. We shall ensure that we do as you say so that you can demonstrate the power of your techniques!"
The friendly, overzealous Martial Master was also the one who had attended his Hungry Pain presentation as a representative of the Fire Sect. He had declared his friendship with Rui back then, so Rui had expected a positive response.
The same came to be true for the remaining three major sects.
The Earth and Lightning Sects were also receptive to his invitations without any surprise.
The Ranged Sect and the Breathing Sect also were quick to eagerly accept his informal invitations to them.
"I am looking forward to seeing what you have cooked up," Master Ceeran smirked with an intrigued expression. "We shall adhere to the arrangements that you have requested of us."
"We are quite interested in the thought-harnessing techniques of your adaptive evolution, Martial Path," Master Vericita smiled affectionately as she petted his head when he visited her. "Do well my child, and we shall fully support you."
With the several sects bagged, he had already accrued a sizable guaranteed audience. He was sure that other intrigued Martial Sects would show up because of all the hype around him in general. That was fine, he had already gotten enough, he didn't need to drag every single Martial Sect under the Sun to the presentation.
A week passed as the date of the presentation arrived. Rui had been fully zoned into the matter of the presentation, and almost nothing could drag his attention away from it.
Almost nothing.
Prince Raul returned to the Kandrian Empire.
News of his return had spread like a wildfire of extraordinary intensity. Not even Rui's return to the Kandrian Empire had caused such a reaction.
Celebrations. Parties. Local festivals. Myriad decorations featuring his face had been put up across the entirety of the Kandrian Empire. The entirety of the populace of the Kandrian Empire had erupted in a celebration that shook the nation.
"Big brother! Did you hear the news?!"
"Prince Raul has returned to the Kandrian Empire!"
Max and Mana excitedly told him about the news when he returned from a long day of training from the Great Jrava Mountain Range.
"What's going on here?" Rui frowned as he saw many firecrackers and rockets bursting in the sky.
"Big brother, can we go to the welcoming parade?"
"I want to go to the welcoming parade!"
Even the Quarrier Orphanage and the various homes that had formed around it were up in celebration at the return of the People's Prince.
Despite the harsh winter and blizzards in the nation, the citizens of Kandria were determined not to allow it to stop them. After all, it hadn't stopped Prince Raul from helping them when they needed it.
"The mayor of the town of Hajin has announced a day off in honor of the People's Prince coming back home."
"The capital town of Vargard has announced a fair to be held in the town for the Prince's return too. Can we visit that?"
"There's also one being held in the town of Fenia. We should go for that, too!"
"Idiot, we can't go to two fairs at the same time!"
Rui stared in amazement at the domestic and national ruckus that the return of the People's Prince had caused across the entire nation. Prince Raul had more of a presence in the nation than every single other prince and princess combined!
Even the crowds that Princess Ranea had drawn did not evoke as much energy as Prince Raul did. She had organized events like the inauguration of the Karokann, but when Prince Raul came, the citizens organized events for him!
That showed the sheer amount of devotion that he had earned from every single citizen. Rui had understood that on paper, but seeing it actually unfold before him was quite amazing. This was a result of many years of personal effort in the groundwork. He visited each town personally and engaged with the many citizens personally. It appeared that he was more fruitful than Rui had previously given it credit.
He found it to be a pity that the prince had returned at a time when he was truly preoccupied with important matters like the presentation of his voidlet techniques, but he definitely was eager to meet the People's Prince as soon as possible.
