The Martial Unity

Rui found it to be quite refreshing. Heading out and exploring of his own volition rather than the commission of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment or the Martial Union was something he hadn't done much of.

He had to admit, that this mission had given him a taste for independence. He had complete control over the diplomatic approach to the G'ak'arkan Tribe. And he also had complete control over the settlement.

He had to admit, the freedom was relieving, although it certainly came with its fair share of responsibilities and burdens. Since he was taking care of others.

The only people they would be responsible for were themselves.

"Oh come on, we're Martial Artists. That is par for the course," Rui shrugged.

Neither of them was wrong, of course. Considering that the dungeon would be attracting Martial Squires from all over their section of the Panama Continent, it was no doubt going to be fierce in competition.

"Regardless, that's not happening any time soon," Rui shrugged. "It's just an idea I threw out there. We could choose to do something else. Or if you have your own plans, that's fine too. We can talk about it when the time comes."
