The Martial Unity

"I think... we might not die today." The head researcher shook his head.

Subject SQ007 had been woken up, briefed and dispatched. There was a set of loud terrifying explosions later before silence reigned again.

The surviving researchers were too terrified to leave the confined of their little hideout, but they had begun to suspect that perhaps the job was done.

After all, she was a Martial Squire. There was no way she would lose to Martial Apprentices. The researchers were well aware of her shortcomings and drawbacks. She did not possess a single Squire-level Martial Art technique, only the Apprentice-level techniques that were no longer compatible with her. Furthermore, she had only very recently completed her breakthrough and wasn't too familiar with the power of a Martial Squire.

Still.

She was a Martial Squire.

There was no way she would not win easily.

Right?

"Not unless there's an extraordinary grade-ten Martial Apprentice with an unbelievable Martial Art..." He pondered, before shaking his head.

There was no way that could happen.

Suddenly;

RUMBLE!

"Woah!"

The very facility began shaking as the researchers fell to the ground losing their balance, scrambling fear.

"What is happening?!"

On the other end of the facility, a horrifying conflict had commenced.

BOOM!

WHOOSH

She had crossed the distance between her and Rui in the smallest of instances. Her body twisted as she generated unprecedented power into an attack.

The very air shivered in fear as she launched a devastating attack.

Yet, to her surprise;

Rui managed to evade her attack.

A combination of prediction based on center of gravity and distance analysis, Primordial Instinct, four maneuvering techniques and one breathing technique just barely allowed him to avoid the attack cleanly.

Yet, she wasn't done.
