The Martial Unity

Rui moved on to the remaining three sections, and he found interesting quirks about each of them.

Hunting missions at the Apprentice-level were all exclusively domestic missions, despite the fact that most hunting missions in general were beyond the borders of the Kandrian Empire, since most beast species exist beyond human settlements. However, those were too far above his paygrade.

The hunting missions he had access to were all domestic in nature. These included verified sightings of beasts that posed too much of a threat to civilians, or an overpopulation of certain beast species in certain parts of the forests and other natural habitats.

The Kandrian Empire hadn't exterminated every single dangerous beast species, mostly because it was not viable. For better or worse, the beast species of these natural environments were extremely vital to the balance, health and the maintenance of these environments.

These species usually played extremely important roles in the fragile ecosystems and food chains. Haphazardly and carelessly annihilating every trace of them would be a foolish blunder that could cause such ecological disasters that could very well bring the entire kingdom to its knees!

This was a much worse problem than the beast species themselves. Beast species were a much simpler and easier problem to handle than such a complex ecological catastrophe. Martial Art could handle former, it could not handle the latter!

The Royal Family even authorized the establishment of a Ministry of Ecology and Environment. Among the many tasks and duties this executive entity was responsible for, coordinating with the Martial Union through Royal authorization to regulate the populations and distributions of beast species was one of them.

A lot of hunting missions were centered around extraction of valuable resources. This included flora and fauna resources that were dangerous to obtain, and thus required Martial Artists. However, beyond this, Rui realized that the hunting class of missions at the Apprentice-level were limited in variety and diversity.

"There's a limit to the variety of flora and fauna in the true wild natural environments outside the borders of the Empire, and flora and fauna within the Empire." Rui murmured. He wasn't sure at what realm would he be qualified to be able to take hunting missions occurring outside.

He dismissed these thoughts, moving onto the two remaining sections once he was satisfied with his exploration of the hunting section.

The missions were centered around clandestine and furtive missions. Shadowing, reconnaissance, tracking, infiltration

the offense class wasn't. But it made more sense when he considered the Kandrian Empire wasn't Earth. On Earth, the right to privacy and physical and intellectual property were protected by the state. However, the Kandrian Empire and most sovereign states he had some awareness about were culturally and politically centuries behind Earth during his lifetime. These rights that were fundamental and extremely important back on Earth were not that important here. Part of it had to do with the lack of communication technology and information technology, slowing down development and allowing missions like these to be
