The Martial Unity

"Kane?!" Rui blurted out in surprise.

"What's up Rui?" Kane grinned, as he walked forward. "Didn't expect to see me here, huh?"

"At all," Rui laughed.

The two clasped hands, exchanging a hug.

"What are you doing here?" Rui asked.

"Well, after re-mastering the Void Step technique and some others in the past ten months, the Martial Union gave me an internal commissioned mission very recently," Kane shrugged. "I was highly inclined to apply for a decline… until I learned that the mission was surrounded around you. So I accepted, and here I am."

He opened his arms with a smirk.

Rui's eyes lit up at that story.

"Of course, how could I possibly forget? You would be highly invaluable on this mission," Rui realized.

Rui wouldn't be surprised that out of all the possible Martial Squires that could be deployed with the intelligence gathering team, Kane was probably one of the most attractive candidates due to his mastery of the Void Step technique. It was no wonder that he was offered the spot, especially considering that he had most certainly shown a pattern of picking international missions in order to spend as much time away from his family's sphere of influence.

"This just makes things much better," Rui grinned. He would have a friend tagging along with him.
