The Martial Unity

"I can pick a mission as of this very moment?"

"Indeed, as long as the difficulty grade does not exceed our evaluation of your capability to complete missions."

Rui noted her choice of words. "How does the Academy evaluate our capability to complete missions and how is it measured?"

"The Academy evaluates mission-completing competence by looking at academic records, compatibility between Martial Artist and mission, experience and mission track record. Your evaluation is indicated on a grade from 1-10, just like missions." She explained.

Rui nodded. "Am I qualified to jump right into missions even if I have never attempted one before?"

"Yes, however the Martial Academy strongly recommends beginning with the lowest of difficulty grades of missions for your initial missions, regardless of your Martial skill, it's best to steadily accumulate experience with the process of mission completion before undertaking missions of higher difficulty grade."

"I see." Rui nodded. "I believe I need only pick a mission bill and have it assigned to me in the commission department, correct?"

"Yes."

"Alright, thank you."

"If you have any additional questions, you can read the mission completion guide created by the Martial Academy to learn more." She said, handing him a small booklet. "Or you can approach the Commissions Department for clarification."

"Got it, thank you." Rui said as he began reading the mission completion guide.

Thankfully the mission completion guide was not an extremely elaborate read. It mainly focused on basic mission completion protocol. Pre-commencement protocols, mission protocols and post-completion/failure protocols to ensure smooth management. It was only thanks to ever Martial Artists following these protocols that the Martial Union could smoothly and speedily function as a whole.

Pre-commencement protocols involved registration as the assigned Martial Artist to the commission, it involved recording the time of dispatch, verification with the client, recording the time of commencement.
