The Martial Unity

And just like that, a month had passed.

Rui had taken up several missions, aiming for missions of the higher remuneration in the shortest amount of time within his difficulty grade. He had taken up a total of six missions in the past month. Five bodyguard missions, two hunting-class missions and one offense-class mission.

He had racked up a total of six hundred and forty martial credits, that in addition to the martial credits he had earned from the earthen basilisk mission as well as the royal mission immediately after yielded to a total of one thousand two hundred and twenty martial credits!

Rui was happy that he had managed to hit four digits by the end of the month. This means he had access to a lot of the good stuff!
