The Martial Unity

The number that he had been given in the evaluation facility corresponded with the force evaluation of his technique.

"You may purchase at most a grade-six Squire-level slot," The staff member informed him. "That corresponds to a section of the ocean roughly fifteen meters wide. Once you begin training you are responsible for ensuring the section of the ocean that you're tasked with keeping at bay does not cross a certain boundary, you will be held liable, and you will be required to pay a fee for every time this occurs. Please sign this statement if you agree to the terms and conditions."

Rui nodded as he quickly signed before receiving a token indicating the grade number.

"Head to the Squire-level section of the Trench," She instructed him. "The section manager and support staff will help you."

It wasn't long before he reached where he was supposed to be.

Great gusts of wind came his way, the roaring ocean atop that made for a jarringly chaotic environment. It was quite novel and exciting, but it was also strangely unnerving given that there were stakes at hand. The ocean levels receding would be quite disastrous for all coastal nations.

It wasn't long before he ran into crews of normal humans wearing full-body armour. Rui could immediately sense that the armor that they were wearing was comprised of Apprentice-level esoteric alloys. Given that they were normal humans, they were putting a lot of trust in the Martial Artists holding back the ocean. Rui knew that they probably had high salaries.

"Please come this way sir," One of the staff members guided him once he showed him his slot tokens.

He guided Rui until they were just a hundred meters away from a Martial Squire. "You're to replace him, sir!"

The man felt the need to shout due to how loud the waves were, but Rui could hear him just fine.

Rui looked around as he saw an endless line of Martial Squires farther beyond the eye could see, farther beyond even what his eye could see.

Squires practicing their techniques on the waves were quite careful, they did not want to get in each other's way and get hurt, but at the same time, they couldn't be too distant from
