Broadly speaking, life in a martial arts sect could be quite monotonous, the disciples trained and fought as they did daily chasing the pinnacle of strength to achieve their dreams of greatness.
Big events only had occasion a few times a year and they used to be intended only for the best of the sect's disciples, so unless war or another exceptional event occurred, the life of low-level disciples was quite ordinary within their misfortune.
Due to this, any event outside the rule used to attract attention quite quickly, such was the case for all kinds of rumors about fights or romances between people of greater importance or fame within the sect, among other things.
But today it was not such a mundane event that broke the daily life and peace within the sect, first thing in the morning the news came about the gigantic explosion in the city, and just hours later a second event caused an uproar among the disciples.
