The Martial Unity

('The fact that he doesn't want to draw attention is a good sign,') Rui mused. It indicated that the Martial Union wanted to keep whatever matter it wanted to discuss low. Sending in a Kandrian carriage from the local Martial Union embassy was probably not the most subtle manner to go about it. Such movements would obviously be noticed instantly.

As for the topic that this Martial Commissioner Reze wanted to speak to the two of them, Rui already more or less knew what it was. He prepared himself mentally for a heavy conversation as the two of them reached the carriage.

His eyes narrowed when he realized that his ordinary senses could not particularly penetrate the carriage effectively as they normally would. Although it looked like an ordinary multi-passenger carriage, it was clearly fashioned for more than just ordinary transport if it was equipped with sensory-jamming esoteric technology.

Still, it didn't pose any hindrance to Rui's Riemannian Echo. Inside he sensed a man accompanied by two subordinate staff members.

('Is that…?')

His question was answered when he entered the carriage along with Kane, sitting opposite him. It wasn't until the door closed that the man sitting opposite them addressed the two of them.

"Squire Quarrier, Squire Kane, I am Martial Commissioner Reze." The man displayed a sincere smile. "It is a pleasure to meet two of the most promising Martial Squires of your generation. I have heard much about the two of you, especially you Squire Quarrier. Tales of your feats and contributions to our Union have spread even when you were a mere Martial Apprentice. I'm happy to have met the two of you who will surely go on to become pillars of the Martial Union and our nation."
