The Martial Unity

Outer Convergence and inner Divergence handled the pure combat-oriented aspects of his Martial Art. Seismic Mapping increased his competence in mission solving.

He had three hundred and fifty-three martial credits left. He wanted to splurge all of it on one more technique in order to get something that would benefit him all-round.

He wasn't sure where to go with this. A condition like that was too vague to allow him to narrow down his search.

He began by dismissing environmental techniques, that was too specific. Labour-centric techniques were also instantly disqualified.

Beast-centric techniques were interesting, but he did not intend on deep diving into hunting class missions just quite yet, he also wanted something a bit more fundamental before expanding to esoteric fields and applications.

Weapons-mastery was certainly interesting, but he felt it was far too much of an initiative. Mastering even a single weapon was no joke, and usually required many years of hard training.

He also wasn't particularly interested or attracted to them. He was a hand-to-hand purist fanboy. Though dealing with weapons was something he would eventually have to do. Upgrading the VOID algorithm to deal with weapon users was part of the long process of adapting the VOID algorithm to the world of Martial Art.

He also hadn't seen much of hand-held weapons either, he wasn't sure why, perhaps he ought to ask one of their squire instructors when he got around to it.

('That leaves...') He glanced at the final section he left untouched. ('Stealth.')

Stealth techniques were mainly useful for covert operations, but being capable of some degree of stealth was probably generally useful.

('If I had stealth capabilities, I might have been able to hide Bella to safety.') He thought. But again, there was no way he could have.
