The Martial Unity

"Sign here one last time and you're good to go." A staff member in the dispatch facility informed him. "Good luck on your mission."

"Thank you." Rui nodded as he collected the assigned standard gear. In addition to the mission recording-device he was expected to use to update the Martial Academy, he was also issued an eco-survey device by apparently the commission department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment meant to be the tool with which he could procure the information and intelligence required by the ministry.

He left behind his mask this time, he was dealing with a beast, not a human that could track him down via his identity. There was no risk associated with not concealing his appearance. He was grateful, as well-made and comfy as the masks were, they were still a pain in the ass.

The Shaia Plains were a good three hours outside Hajin, by carriage. He, however, simply needed to jog and he would reach the place in an hour. Leaving Hajin would require around an hour as well, since it was both big and a dense and populated.

Once he left Hajin, he heaved a sigh of relief.

There was even a corresponding protocol system that helped Martial Artists decide what courses of action where most apt for certain situations. Furthermore,

Then after further corroborating the evidence with timings from eyewitnesses, they could generally infer that the beast was most active during the middle

for Rui because animals weren't nocturnal and would be at rest at night, it was much easier for his Seismic Mapping technique to allow him to detect movement across much greater distances. This meant that if the target of his mission was extremely active during the night, then its seismic signature would be much
