The Martial Unity

The five of them treated the rest of the day as a holiday, peacefully relaxing after a stressful mission. They'd wandered around the town of Gallagar indulging themselves to a little fun.

"Man, I wonder who that masked dude was." Dalen thought aloud. "He was ridiculously strong."

"I wonder if he'll reform the bandit group and continue." Fae wondered.

"Unlikely." Rui pitched in. "Not any time soon, anyway. His men were slaughtered and he lost his Martial Apprentice subordinates, bar the masked Martial Artist. Rebuilding the bandit group to its former size and strength is going to take a while."

"I doubt he even wants to, in the first place." Kane said. "He kinda got his ass whooped."

They headed back to the inn after a while, heading to sleep.

The next morning, they cleaned up. Taking the opportunity to head to the Lowminer Industries branch of Gallagar. They quickly boarded the transport provided by the Lowminers, and headed straight back home. Rui used this time to gather his thoughts on the mission.

Although he was feeling pretty proud and content with his performance, looking at it more objectively he had to admit that things were pretty stacked in their favour in hindsight. They had eight Martial Apprentices against the five Martial Apprentices. It would be embarrassing if more than two managed to get away.

Still, this did not take away his sense of achievement.
