It didn''t take Rui long to reach the Kandrian Empire. What took longer was reaching the Town of Hajin because he couldn''t run on the ground at top speed, he sky-walked, which was much slower than running on solidnd.


    He quickly finished the boring and tedious post-mission protocols, detailing statements and a report that conveyed all events urring since themencement of the mission and thepletion of it. He wasn''t too concerned that he didn''t have proof that he killed the target of elimination; Squire Crillian. He was sure that the martial Union had already verified and confirmed his death, knowing their extensive informationwork.


    Hell, Rui wouldn''t be too surprised if the Martial Union had dispatched a sensory specialist Martial Artist that had already witnessed the entire mission from start to finish.


    ραпdα Й?νê|(сòm) What he didn''t expect was to be stopped when he finished the report by an assistant.


    "Squire Quarrier," She bowed deeply, expressing the respect that Martial Artists garnered from normal humans.


    "Hm?" Rui turned, facing her.


    "I''m here to notify you that Martialmissioner Derun Berfheim has invited you to his office. Please pay her a visit as soon as possible," She courteously informed him.


    Rui frowned. "A Martialmissioner has invited me? Why?"


    "I''m afraid I was not informed about this; I was merely instructed by the Martialmissioner to convey her invitation to you." She replied, before pulling out a card from her pocket and presenting it to Rui. "This is the address of her office."


    Rui plucked the card out of her palms, studying it. On one side, generic details about the Martialmissioner were written, on the other side was the address to his office.


    "A rank three Martialmissioner?" Rui raised an eyebrow. He had learned a lot more about the Martial Union in the years that he had spentpleting countless missions. He was aware of the significance of a rank three Martial Artist within the Martial Union.


    Martialmissioners were executives of the Internal Commissions department. This department was an executive branch of the Martial Union that looked at the various interests, agendas, objectives, and liabilities of the Martial Union aspiled by the Internal Affairs department and formted missions that addressed them and assigned them to the most optimal Martial Artists most suited topleting them.


    These missions fell under the internal missions use of the Martial contract that every Martial Artist signed with the Martial Union, conditionally agreeing toplete these missions when assigned to them.


    Martialmissioners were agents or executives of the Internal Commissions department whose job was to create just the right missions that would address a particr interest, need, or liability of the Martial Union, and assign these missions to the most optimal Martial Artist for the mission.


    They required a broadpetency and knowledge base in order to be qualified for their roles. They required adeptpetency in administration,w, sociology, and economics, as well as a deep understanding of Martial Art and Martial Artists.


    They were divided into ranks that corrted with the level of importance and significance of the interests and issues of the Martial Union that they dealt with.


    Rank one Martialmissioners were the lowest-ranked Martialmissioners. They exclusively dealt with domestic, localized interests and issues whose significance and impact did not extend beyond that of a town of the Kandrian Empire. They dealt with issues such as mitigatingcking intelligence in certain circles orworks of society, or particr locations by dispatching Martial Apprentices to gather intelligence and data. They focused on increasing the ease of ess of the Martial Union to customers in low-ie and high-crime districts, to increase the amount of business that the Martial Union got, by building highly essible and securemission offices that were protected by Martial Apprentices.


    These missions, while not highly important and significant on arge scale, were necessary for furthering the interests of the Martial Union and mitigating its issues.


    Rank two Martialmissioners dealt with issues on arger scale, they dealt with matters whose scale, importance, and significance extended to an entire region. They tackled issues such as the ever-present underworld Martial Artist services in certain regions that sought to wring away the unshaken dominance of the Martial Union in the Martial Art industries in certain parts of the Empire. They dealt with optimizing the securities of estate and assets of the Martial Union by weighing the risk factor vs their importance and significance. These were much more important and could affect the martial Union in a meaningful, albeit small, way.


    Rank three Martialmissioners dealt with issues of even greater importance.


    Rui wasn''t even sure what these dignitaries of the Martial Union dealt with on a day-to-day basis, his Martial Artist Realm was not high enough to have ess to such information. All he knew was that these dignitaries possessed enough authority to assign missions to Martial Seniors!


    What would an executive like that want with a grade-four Martial Artist like Rui?


    Rui had some vague guesses, but he couldn''t be sure. He didn''t think this was about trying to pry a technique out of Rui. Martialmissioners were not Martial Artists, and generally, the more informal Martial Sects dealt with pure Martial Art-rted matters.


    "...I understand, I shall meet with her," Rui nodded.


    The only time Rui had met with a high-ranking Martialmissioner was during the colonization of the Serevian Dungeon, however, that had been highly impersonal as the dignitary had addressed many Martial Apprentices in addition to him.


    However, this would be the first time that he would be particrly invited by one.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    It took him a minute to reach the address given, leading to arge extravagant office.


    "Squire Quarrier," She smiled once she noticed Rui entering the office, and getting up. "I''ve heard a lot about you, a pleasure to meet one of the most promising assets of the Martial Union among the younger generation."


    "It''s a pleasure to meet you as well, mam," Rui replied with a measured tone.
