"Urgh…" Kane groaned as he woke up on a bed in the medical bay.
"You feeling ok?" Rui asked.
"Hm?" Kane blinked a few times before he recognized Rui. "What… happened?"
"You tried Voidspeed and he shut it down, knocking you out in the process." Rui briefly explained.
"…Oh yeah," Kane sighed. "Well, I knew I couldn't beat him."
"You probably did far better than an overwhelming majority of guardians though." Rui offered, aiming to console him.
Kane shrugged. "He's not someone that can be taken down very easily, not even by you honestly."
Rui couldn't disagree. He needed to grow stronger, that was for sure.
"Still," Kane sighed. "It's not fun being beaten, but for some reason, I'm always running into the greatest Martial Artists of my generation, and of my Realm."
He referred to Rui in the former, and Ieyasu in the latter.
The latter was six years older than both of them, he was older than both of them.
