The Martial Unity

The clientele was a young woman named Fria. She was a villager of the Hefermaine Village who had managed to escape during the hostile takeover nearly eight months ago. She had recently commissioned a mission to free the Hefermaine Village from the grasp of the Ruyloken Gang.

And Rui had just picked up the mission bill of the mission.

He skimmed through the data provided by the Martial Union.

The Ruyloken Gang was a known criminal gang of the Grahal Kingdom. They were rather small for a gang, with a member count of only twenty-four. But their size meant that each member got more of each plunder.

Furthermore, the gang was led by a middled-aged Martial Apprentice known as Vranil Fra. The intel the Martial Academy had managed to gather on him was not scant. However, as far as his combat prowess went, the only the mission bill told Rui was that he was an extremely strong Martial Apprentice.

Confirmed to, at the very least, be in the upper echelons of the Apprentice Realm without a doubt. He once fought off and killed three mid-grade Martial Apprentices, and that was before he reached his physical prime. The other piece of information the Martial Academy had been able to provide him was the fact that he was an offense-class Martial Artist.

He was the reason the mission was graded nine. For a singular Martial Apprentice, this mission was close to about as dangerous as Apprentice-level missions got. Furthermore, the fact that the mission was occurring well outside the Kandrian Empire made it that much more dangerous.

There was a lot more information included, but they were more mundane details. Rui quickly inputted and stored all the data in his Mind Palace as he began sorting it out.

There were several things that he didn’t quite understand. But he intended to resolve them after meeting up with Fria, the clientele who had commissioned him. She had made the commission from the Kingdom of Grahal, through one of the commission offices of the Kandrian Martial Union in the Kingdom of Grahal, and was currently residing in the Kingdom of Grahal.

She had even requested a meeting with the Martial Artist that accepted the commission prior to the commencement of the mission in the Kindgom of Grahal, which Rui found odd. The commission costs included the travel, shelter accommodations and food costs, among other things. She was making the mission more expensive by requesting a meeting with-in the Kingdom of Grahal.

Regardless, Rui had no choice but to oblige. He did want to ask her some questions as well, if he could.

He got up heading back to his dorm room to get prepared. He really didn’t have much to do at the moment, so there was no problem beginning his journey immediately. The mission was meant to be commenced immediately according to the mission bill, and he also had to meet Fria before he actually began the mission.

He quickly bathed, freshening up before he tidied up and put on his Martial garb. He immediately headed to the commissions department, completing the paperwork needed before he headed down to the dispatch facility where he collected his toolkit and gear.

Once he finished the final bit of paperwork, he immediately dispatched. The Kingdom of Grahal was located well away from the Kandrian Empire. About a little under three hundred kilometers south-west of the Kandrian Empire.

Rui was travelling by foot, at his current level, even the effort that transport saved him was not worth the lower speed. The costs of travel in this case would be the rejuvenation potions that the Martial Academy had equipped him with to last the entire journey.

His route required him to cross a few regions of the Kandrian Empire before he exited it. He largely travelled by foot. At his current level it only took two hours to cross entire regions

Which was actually very little, a bit surprisingly. His physical parameters were extremely high in the Apprentice Realm, he could run a huge amount of distance at high speeds before he felt the need of using a potion.

Rui followed a main route that directly connected the Kandrian Empire and the Kingdom of Grahal, and thus the terrain was suited to maintaining what was a decent speed for him.

In less than three hours, he had already reached.

The environment and weather were considerably more different than he was accustomed to in the Mantian Region. The temperature was warm and the air was quite humid, the sun shone bright, unleashing its fury onto the plainlands of the Kindgom of Grahal. The Mantian Region was generally quite cold most of the time, barring two months of the year.

An abundance of fauna and flora saturated his surroundings, different from what he was accustommed to seeing on the outskirts of the town of Hajin where the Quarrier Orphanage was. Lush bold green leaves littered all the trees and shrubs, painting a picture of an environment filled with vitality.

This was the first time he had journeyed outside the Kandrian Empire, and the experience was refreshing. Different people and different environments assailed his deep senses, he genuinely did feel like a tourist. Yet, his alertness had also heightened.

He had been pushing Primordial Instinct and Seismic Mapping to the maximum. Everything was a potential threat. The safety net of the Martial Union and Kandrian Empire was gone and he was truly all by himself. If anything happened, he had only himself to rely on and nobody else, unfortunately.

,m His immediate destination inside the Kinggdom of Grahal was to rendezvous with Fria at a Martial Union commissions office where he could actually interact with her directly.

As for getting into the country. He didn’t care to get in via legal channels, the Kingdom of Grahal was a weak and small nation that had not managed to obtain an extradition agreement from the Kandrian Empire. Meaning, no matter what crimes he committed in the Kingdom of Grahal, the Kandrian Empire would not cooperate with the Kingdom of Grahal to enforce their laws onto him, and there was nothing the Kingdom of Grahal could do about it.

The Martial Union did not have any protocols requiring him to enter legally and maintaining the secrecy of his identity was recommended by it.

He himself didn’t want to reveal his identity under any circumstances, something that entering through legal channels, being the Martial Artist that he was, would undoubtedly happen.
