Rui took a seat after he purchased his ounter. He scrolled through his profile in interest.


    "Grade ten." He murmured. He felt the grade was no longer apt for his current level of power. He was a grade-ten Martial Apprentice even before he grew significantly stronger thanks to the previous training stage.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    He scrolled through his profile, ncing over all the details it specified before going over his inbox. He had opened his inbox formissions a while back when he came out of training.


    "Woah." His eyes widened. "Three hundred and twelve personalmissions?!"


    Rui''s fame had pierced into the right circles in the Kandrian Empire. There were many with more than enough wealth tomission him, who were willing to splurge in order to gain the services of one of the best Martial Apprentices in the Kandrian Empire.


    Of course, the only reason not every single clientele in the Kandrian Empire coveted him was because there often was a thin line between peak Martial Apprentices and Martial Squires in so far as whether wealthy clientele wished to hire the former or thetter. If a mission was difficult even by grade-ten standards, then many wealthy clientele would rather not take any chances and hire a Martial Squire who is guaranteed to seed.


    Rui sat down as he took his time browsing through the many personalmissions made for him. They were, as always, diverse and varied.


    The sheer number of personalmissions he had received were not something he would be able to finish in a short period of time. He quickly began screening them one by one.


    "Man." He muttered. "There are so many personalmissions for a personal fighter."


    Ever since his identity got revealed in the Martial Games he had eternally been flooded bymissions to represent the clientele as their representative fighter in events simr to the Martial Games across the Kandrian Empire. The many elite participants of the Martial Games had finally learned of his true identity and sought tomission him with hefty bonuses, hoping to rope him in.


    Of course, Rui wasn''t all that interested in permanently participating in the Martial Games. The Martial Games was perfect for him a year ago, but at his current level of power, he was too strong for any Martial Apprentice he had ever faced.


    He ignored all representative fightermissions for the time period.


    He also threw away all defense-ss missions. Frankly, they weren''t worth the time in his opinion. These missions despite their difficulty never fully guaranteed conflict that would give him the realbat experience that he was looking for. Unless he was absolutely certain he would see action, he would rather avoid bodyguard missions if he could.


    "There is a surprising amount of shadow ss missions." His eyes lit up in interest. "Maybe I''ll take one of them this time around."


    He didn''t expect to be personallymissioned with shadow ss missions because they were usually the most divergent and demanding ss of missions as far as the skillset necessary. One needed to have good stealth and information-gathering capabilities. Rui had no history or experience with stealth, nor was it indicated in his profile that he had such capabilities, thus he was a bit curious as to why anyone wouldmission him for a shadow ss mission.


    "Espionage, eh?" He mused as he read through the information volunteered by a clientele.


    [Shadow ss mission: Espionage


    Cliele: Hruvalian Inc.


    The target of Mission: Freefel limited.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Difficulty grade: 7


    Missionmencement: immediate.


    Sessful remunerationpletion: 60 gold coins.


    Mission execution location: Freefel limited branch office, the town of Kining, Kingdom of Verlis.


    Mission summary: To gather ssified and confidential information on the research and development projects of the Freefel limited corporation.]


    "Interesting." Rui murmured. "The clientele is based within the Kandrian Empire, but the target is in a different country."


    Rui shook his head. Although he was interested in undertaking shadow ss missions, he did not want to engage in something as boring as corporate espionage. It was one of the most boring kinds of missions that only exercised stealth and information-gathering capabilities. It wasn''t a field that would give him the realbat experience he was looking for.


    It was also the type of mission that required an immense amount of patience. He was simply unwilling to engage in nonbat-orientedmissions unless he really needed to.


    His need for direct head-on conflict conflicted with how shadow-ss missions worked, fundamentally. The defining condition for a mission to fall into the shadow ss was the necessarily covert nature of the mission. The missions needed to be furtive and ndestine. This usually meant head-on open conflict was automatically not an option unless absolutely necessary.


    He kept scrolling until he ran into an interesting mission.


    [Hunter ss mission: Surveince


    Clientele: Ministry of Environment and Ecology


    The target of mission: The Serevian teau, Beast Domain


    Difficulty grade: 9


    Mission summary: A variety of mysterious and unnatural environmental and ecological changes have urred within the Serevian teau. These changes include changes in migration patterns of fauna, changes in flora density and distribution, unnatural seismic radiation, and other phenomena. The cause is suspected to be singr and thus simpler to identify. The mission goal is to primarily identify the cause and eliminate it if possible.]


    "Interesting..." Rui murmured. This was the first mission pertaining to the Beast Domain that he had evere across before. What was interesting was that this wasn''t a personalmission but rather a mission rmendation from the Martial Union as far aspatibility went.


    "I suppose the mission does suit me to some extent," Rui admitted. A phenomenon that required sensory capability, specifically when seismic radiation was involved was one that he possessed the skill to handle.


    Furthermore, the Beast Domain was dangerous even for Martial Apprentices and only the upper echelons were qualified to enter even the outskirt regions such as the designated mission location of the mission at hand. Rui stared at it contemtively, it was certainly an attractive choice.
