The Martial Unity

He made his way to the Martial Union with a pounding heart. He was going to be crossing one of the most important checkpoints of his life and his Martial Path. He was understandably a little tense, especially because he had very little agency and control over the success of the procedure beyond this point. Everything that could be done had been done.

Rui considered everything even as he passed security, showing them his Martial license. He couldn't think of a single thing he could do while still a Martial Apprentice that would aid him in the evolution process to the Squire Realm.

"Excuse me." Rui addressed one of the staff members. "I have an appointment for my breakthrough process to the Squire Realm."

He handed over his Martial license.

"Apprentice Rui Quarrier, you do indeed have an appointment scheduled today, soon." She nodded. "Facility SRB-001 in the west wing, the maps will help direct you to your location."

"Thank you." Rui nodded before making his way to the designated room.

It took him longer than he had expected, after all, the Martial Union was huge, Rui had to refer to the various maps that were planted at multiple locations across the Martial Union.

"Excuse me?" Rui voiced out, drawing attention to himself as he entered the designated facility. "I believe I was told the procedure to my breakthrough to the Squire Realm would be taking place in this facility."

The room inside was large, it gave Rui the impression of a futuristic medical facility. There were strange contraptions and machines. Among them was a small chamber that was large enough to accommodate a man in it.

There was also a medical team within. Several nurses and assistants and a few elderly doctors.
