The Martial Unity

Rui had two goals with the next phase of mission completion.

The first was to diversify his experience with different classes and types of missions. He intended to sign up for different missions outside of the standard bodyguard or protection missions. He had long grown bored of these kinds of missions and wanted to at the very least try out different kinds of missions before returning to a bodyguard mission.

The second goal was to accumulate an even larger number of merits and purchase powerful trump cards that he would hopefully be able to master before the Kandrian Martial Festival would roll around. His foundation was not truly solid as Outer Convergence bolstered his offense and Inner Divergence that solidified his defense, perhaps he ought to strengthen his grappling since it had been neglected a bit, but that wasn't a big issue.

The best way forward was to purchase the most powerful techniques within the library with the highest compatibility with the VOID algorithm that he possible could purchase. This would most definitely cost him a bomb of martial credits. So, he needed to complete as many high-grade missions as he possibly could to stack as much martial cash as he could.

With these two goals in mind. He strode into the Martial library with a determined expression. He pointedly ignored defense-class of missions that called out to him, instead glancing at the other four sections of the library, considering all of them carefully

The first class of missions he immediately crossed out was the Shadow class. This was the class of covert and furtive missions; the requirements of these missions were almost certainly beyond him. Most of the non-trivial mission would likely require multiple stealth-oriented techniques and multiple sensory oriented techniques for surveillance, reconnaissance and espionage.

He had initially sworn off covert operation missions because he wasn't particularly interested them, but since then he had come to realize that if he truly wanted to be able to adapt to any Martial Art, any foe and any threat, he needed to obtain some degree of proficiency in all fields. There would always be certain

But for now, he felt no urge to take up any Shadow Class missions, nor was he particularly qualified.

And with that, he added the shadow class of missions to no-go club where it gave the lonely defense-class of missions some company.

Rui's attention turned to remaining three classes of missions that had yet to be striked out.

Hunter class.
