This battle came to remind Rui of one of his other weaknesses. Perhaps it was more of a shortcoming, but regardless, Rui had come to remember how much larger scale conflicts and team battles could catch him off-guard.
The last time he had been part of a conflict this big was in the Serevian War, however, back then he was the most powerful and dangerous person on the battlefield, thus he never felt this shortcoming nearly as much. However, he realized that he was too accustomed to analyzing and making combat-centric decisions in a vacuum with his opponent and himself, and the environment. He did not have much experience in group battles.
The last time he truly fought together as a group was with his four friends against the newborn Martial Squire of the Commonwealth Duchy of Vinfrana. Even then, that was against one opponent.
