Chapter 1031: Quick

"Five may be too much," Rui remarked.

"We'll be fine," Kane confidently reassured him. "Between you and me, we can handle them."

"Just to remind you, I'm normally not as strong as I am when facing you," Rui told him. "My power depends on how familiar with my opponents I am. I grow stronger as the battle prolongs."

"Yeah, I know that, if we don't manage to take them down immediately, then we can rely on your adaptive evolution to overcome them," Kane nonchalantly explained.

Kane had grown much more confident ever since he regained his Fulminata technique. Rui often had to hold him back and ensure that he didn't fall prey to his own self-confidence.

Frankly, five was on the very limit of what Rui was willing to tolerate. If not for the fact that the reported squad was comprised of only mid-grade Martial Squires, he would have never agreed to that.
