The Martial Unity

The journey was a lot less solemn than Rui was expecting.

He was leaving his family for the foreseeable future. Both his families.

He was leaving his friends, his faction, his supporters, and his patrons behind.

He was leaving his father behind.

He was heading to the Beast Domain, an extremely dangerous place, and would be searching for the Divine Doctor.

Yet, the banter between Kane and Master Reina kept the atmosphere light. The Sloth Sage snoring away in another compartment made it difficult to feel particularly heavy.

Yet, inwardly, he could feel his nerves tingling.

"Wait, so you were the one who helped master Phantomind Void? That's crazy, you gotta help me with my Void Step technique…"

"You have a greater affinity for stealth than he does; you should focus on physical stealth in addition to misdirection," Master Reina gave him tips and instructions.

"I'll definitely have to train under you when we get back," Kane nodded. "Also…"

While the two of them conversed, Rui closed his eyes, entering his Mind Palace as he revised the information that he knew about the Adventurer's Guild. While those two could afford to relax, he had an important meeting.

The Adventurer's Guild was not only the largest Martial broker for services relating to the Beast Domain between the consumer market and Martial Artists, but it also had powerful cultural impacts on human civilization. The Shionel Adventurer's Guild, for example, that set up during the Shionel Dungeon raid was a copy-paste of the Panamic Adventurer's Guild on a smaller scale.

One of the greatest tenets of the guild was its pledge to never bear arms against humanity or in inter-human conflicts. It would exclusively make use of its services and capital in relation to the Beast Domain.
