The Sekigahara Confederate was much more impressive as a nation than he could have expected. Perhaps their stupid and rash Martial Artists gave the entire nation a poor rep, but otherwise he could understand why the Sekigahara Confederate had become a Sage-level powerhouse.

It was a shocking imbalance that was truly jarring to Rui as someone who came from a saner nation like the Kandrian Empire.
