The Martial Unity

Not a day after he informed the Martial Union that he wanted to proceed with the measurement process, an appointment for the procedure was promptly arranged for the very next day. The very next day after he mastered the Mind Switch technique and verified its success.

Rui peeked into a large room with many machines and equipment. There was a team of men and women, who glanced up at him.

"I'm Apprentice Rui Quarrier." He told them holding his Martial license up. "I was informed that my measurement process would be conducted in this facility."

"Indeed, welcome. I'm the supervisor who will overlook the process. My name is Fylic."

They exchanged pleasantries as the final preparations were made, discussing the process.

"We will be taking static measurements first," Fylic informed him. "This includes things like, but not limited to, your weight, height, proportions, and lengths of your figure, your muscle and bone mass, cardiac and other metabolic parameters among other things."

Rui nodded. It made sense they would start with static measurements; those were always the easiest, simplest and quickest measurements to be made. Even when he was constructing the VOID algorithm, he would start with static measurements of his test subjects.

"Once that's done, we'll move on to active parameters. We'll measure the maximum force generated by every muscle group, reaction time and reflex time, balance, body-eye coordination, and stamina among other things." He informed Rui. "Once that's done, the data will be transmitted to the relevant department that will begin carefully customize the evolution process to ensure that the evolution process will evolve your current parameters to the parameters of the desired Martial body that you have chosen."
