The Martial Unity

Rui left the Apprentice library, leaving Kane to figure what techniques he wanted to purchase. He wanted to begin the training session immediately. The first training facility he headed over to was the designated training center for the technique.

"Instructor Dylon." Rui greeted the head instructor of the Apprentice facility, a Martial Squire.

Generally, the Apprentice students were mentored and trained by veteran Martial Squires with deep expertise and experience with whatever field they were assigned to.

Squire Kyrie was the head instructor of combat training. Squire Dylon was assigned to offensive striking.

"Hm?" He glanced over, focusing on Rui. Just this gesture alone, generated a bit of mental weight on Rui. "Ahhh, kid. What brings you here today? Here to learn six techniques in one month this time?" He teased with a nonchalant smile.

"Only four." Rui replied, sincerity.

"..."

"I just purchased this technique." Rui said, waving the technique scroll of Outer Divergence. "I wanted to begin the training right away."

"Ah, that one." He said. "Good technique, I used it all the time in the field even after I became a Squire."

Rui's eyes widened at those words. "Wait what? I thought Apprentice-level techniques were too weak for Martial Squires."

The man made a complicated expression. "Well yes and no. Actually, I'm not supposed to talk muc-"
