The Martial Unity

Rui returned to the Academy once his bodyguard mission with Miguel ended. In the past week he had completed three missions, having earned up to a sum of ninety-six martial credits. In addition to the reward from his first mission, he had earned up to a total of one hundred and fifty-three martial credits.

Today was the dispatch and commencement of the party mission commissioned by Lowminer Industries.

Rui knew that as a service provider, clients were clients. As a Martial Artist, it wasn't particularly wise to get fixated on who the client was as long as the mission was legal.

Still, he couldn't help but feel sour. Working for the Lowminer Industry right after what his first mission was a hard pill to swallow. But it was a pill he had already committed himself to swallow, inadvertently.

At the very least, he could take solace in the fact that he wasn't doing this alone. Fae had already officially registered the five of them as a party, allowing them to take missions together. Rui found the whole concept of parties to be interesting.

For one they allowed lower grade Martial Artists to get a taste of what high-grade missions were like without bearing the full burden and risk. Even if they couldn't complete the mission by themselves, with the help of many, they were able to compensate for their personal weakness.

Fae taken it upon herself to the name the party 'The Quintuple Martial Apprentices'.

Rui simply burst out laughing while Milliana stared at her with a blank expression, and Kane complained and vehemently refused to be part of a party with such an embarrassing name.

Eventually, she managed to get them to agree to the name 'Martial Quint'. Only because no one could be bothered to come up with something better.
