"Hey, World System. How many merit points would it cost me to buy a cure for the Banished Arsenal Martial Physique?"
It's a shot in the dark, and Ren knows it too.
He tried not to raise his expectations. The reason being that in the story, no aberrant martial physiques had ever been 'cured.' Those who had them simply worked their way around the disadvantages they brought. There's no real 'cure' for things like this.
There's one point in the story where somebody tried to ask the same thing as Ren did to the World System. And Ren remembered the results being negative. It said that there's no 'cure' for the aberrant martial physique that person had.
But with so many merit points in hand and harboring some good luck, Ren hoped that things would be different for him and his clan. The aberrant martial physique of the one in the story was different from the one he has, so he thought that maybe things would be different.
Alas...
