The Martial Unity

Time passed a stable routine fell into place. Rui would research, and get deployed.

And then he would kill his opponent, and gain even more free time.

Every time.

Every time that he was deployed, an enemy Martial Squire died, and their corpse was brought back to Crexeet Town.

Every time.

Rui's dominance was shocking to both allies and enemies alike.

Word of his deeds spread like wildfire within Crexeet Town, albeit unspecific. The town was still unaware of the extent of the conflict that occurred outside the borders, however, they had come to learn that Rui always killed a Martial Squire every time he fought.

He was already quite famous because of his accomplishment in the scholarly fields, but he had also proven his worth as Martial Squire to the entire town. He was nothing short of a celebrity within the town, he had become the object of admiration and even lust.

The mayor was thoroughly overjoyed by Rui's dominating performance. He knew that the Martial Squires of this region were by no means of the highest grade, but there were plenty of competent Martial Squires, and even high-grade Martial Squires.
