"You're asking for much, Mother Alicia," Rui shook his head. "We don't not have some kind of magic that compensate for the shortcoming of experience and battle-testing. Our Martial Artists have been brutally and viscerally tested day in and day out for the past seventeen years, leaving them extraordinarily battle-hardened and far stronger than they used to be in the past."
'So you don't possess any means to battle-test your troops without a war?' Mother Alicia asked with a disappointed tone.
"…Well, maybe we do," Rui replied with a thoughtful tone. "We could try hypnosis."
'…How do you intend to harness hypnosis to train our troops?' Her tone was one of skepticism. 'Hypnosis cannot be used to create experience.'
Rui shook his head. "You guys have a poor understanding of what hypnosis is capable of. I have noticed that the forces of the true world are unaccustomed to hypnosis being weaponized and harnessed to the extent that we Martial Artists harness it."
