The Martial Unity

"Martial Sects?" Rui tilted his head in confusion.

What were those? Certainly not something he was familiar with.

"Hmm." Headmaster Aronian nodded. "Well, take a seat. This might take a while to explain."

Rui sat down opposite to Headmaster Aronian, waiting for him to explain.

"The Martial Union is a commercial organization; this is one of its core functions." The headmaster revised. "There is an enormous market for Martial services from countless consumers and clienteles willing to pay for hiring Martial Artists for various services. The Martial Union serves as liaison between these consumers and the Martial Artists themselves, allowing for an incredibly smooth and regulated exchange of commissions and Martial services between the two sides."

Rui nodded, being quite familiar with the way the Martial Union functioned.

"As you know the Martial Union takes a fifty-percent cut of Martial commissions." Headmaster Aronian. "The reason for it being entitled half of the commission is because the services it provides to Martial Artists and clienteles and consumer is indispensable. Without the Martial Union, there would be no avenue for Martial Artists to easily be able to easily access countless commissions that the Martial Union receives, processes, stores and organizes in an extremely user-friendly manner. This would be utterly impossible without a highly bureaucratic organization handling the immense documentation processing as quickly and smoothly as the Martial Union does. Furthermore, the intelligence and difficulty grades that are also indispensable to Martial Artists all require immense amount of funding."

This made sense. The Martial Union was fundamentally drive by Martial Artists, who were driven by power. Power was indeed one of the most important pillars and interests
