The Martial Unity

A few days passed, and Rui refused to take any missions out of fear that he would be missing out on whenever the Kandrian Empire decided to take action in whatever it decided to handle the matter of the dungeon war.

Frankly, Rui wasn't sure how things would pan out. Would the Martial Union be involved alone? Would the Kandrian Government or the Royal Family be involved or take control? He didn't know. He couldn't be sure about how the two hegemons of the Kandrian Empire would act.

His understanding of politics was still very vague and broad. He didn't understand the nuances that were involved in such matters that would ultimately decide the manner in which the Kandrian Empire would participate in the dungeon wars. It wasn't just a matter of intelligence or smartness; he just wasn't informed enough on international dynamics and foreign policy or the domestic decision-making protocols that the Martial Union and the Kandrian government engaged in when they processed the matter.

Eventually, an announcement was made. However, it wasn't the one Rui was waiting for or anticipating.

"A change in the Martial Apprentice grading system?" Rui frowned. "Really? At this time? But why? Wasn't it working just fine? What caused this change?"

He hadn't yet realized that he was the leading trigger to the updation of the existing ten-point grading system of Martial prowess evaluation.

Thankfully, the announcement that he had gotten both through his accounter and through a letter explained the reasons behind the change.

Each generation of Martial Artists was stronger than the previous generation of Martial Artists. This was due to higher-quality techniques and higher-quality growth and training resources that younger and newer generations had access to. Several of the techniques and training and growth resources that Rui had used over the years were actually recently developed products that the previous generation never had access to.
