The Martial Unity

Rui skimmed through some other of his personal commissions but ultimately shook his head in dismay. What he was looking for wasn't there at all. None of these were particularly stimulating missions. Ideally, he would have liked to have had a mission that would pit him against another Martial Squire. But he wasn't quite yet eligible for such a mission just yet.

He was evaluated to be a grade three Martial Artist in his current state. He was inexperienced with combat in the Squire Realm and had only just re-mastered six techniques. Normally, such a Martial Squire would be graded at grade one, but not Rui.

For one, he had the VOID algorithm. This technique allowed him to keep up with those with combat parameters much higher than his and even defeat them. Furthermore, he had naturally retained his mental and sensory techniques as well, increasing his formidability thanks to it. Thirdly, his body was above that of a baseline all-rounder Martial Squire. He was stronger, faster and healed faster, and had greater stamina.

All these factors allowed him to operate several grades above grade one, which he would be without those factors. He didn't think he would lose even if he were pitted against another Martial Squire, as long as they weren't too much of a much higher grade than his own.

Unfortunately, none of his personal commissions could provide him with that.

That was why he found himself standing in the mission library of the Martial Union, the Squire-level one. If he could find a mission that pit him against another Martial Squire, he would most certainly take it. It wasn't as though he wanted to fight a Martial Squire because there wasn't another way that he would be able to fight one, he most certainly could commission a sparring partner if he wanted to.

However, there was always a large difference between a sparring partner and someone who was genuinely hostile against you in a fight in the real world. The latter was a much greater experience than the former. The former usually operated within a certain limit, otherwise, death was plausible and that was something no sparring partner would want.

It simply wasn't real.
