The Martial Unity

Rui opened the first one.

Rui's eyes narrowed as he skimmed through the details provided by the mission bill. The location of the fight was apparently an arena in a town in the Mantian region about three hours away from the town of Hajin.

The mission bill expounds upon the background a bit more.

In the upper-class of society, Martial Artists were hired to fight against other hired Martial Artists in a competitive setting. It was treated as a competitive and gambling sport within the circles of the upper echelons.

According to the mission bill, these circles were distinct from that of the Martial Community, although they did intersect with each other to a certain degree as Martial Families would send in heirs and descendants to face off against each other as well as the champions of other individuals who partook in the sport.

Freier Ester Inc was a large supplier of Ester in the Kandrian Empire, and esoteric compound that was most widely used for lighting products and devices according to the information provided by the mission bill. They were a major supplier in the northern parts of the Kandrian Empire, encompassing several different regions of the Kandrian Empire.

The scale of Freier Ester Inc was far greater than the Hier Industries or the Lowminer Industries, both which were corporations he had worked with prior. These two corporations were limited to a handful of towns across the Mantian regions, and thus were much smaller than Freier Ester Inc which was a national giant in the Ester supplies industries.

Rui could feel the newfound socio-economic status thanks to his performance in the Martial Contest. He would have never received such interest from a conglomerate titan such as the Freier Ester Inc.

He glanced through the few other similar offers he received for being a commissioned fighter, although none of those clienteles were quite as distinguished as the Freier Ester Inc.

He decided not to make a decision on the matter until he met up with his client, to learn more about him and the commission itself.

The commission also specified the required signature of his on a non-compete agreement that was valid for as long as the contract was active. Meaning he wouldn't be able to become the commissioned fighter of any other clientele who sought to commission him.

Which made it all the more important to be careful while making a decision on the matter.

Having made up his mind on that, he put the commissioned representative fighting mission bills aside as he picked up the mission bill of another commission.

[Miscellaneous mission: Sparring partner mission

Commissioning client: The Distar Family.

Mission objective: To serve as a sparring partner for Martial Apprentices.

Remuneration rate: 9 silver coins and 7 bronze coins/25 Martial credits per hour of sparring (Negotiable).

Mission commencement duration: Indefinite.

Commissioned time period: 7 hours a week (Negotiable).]

There were other missions like this as well. Two others, to be precise. The Frial Family and the Shamik Family.

All three of the Martial Families were led by prominent Martial Masters.

Rui understood why he had received three such commissions from Martial Families. Frankly, his Martial Art was quite suited for the role of a sparring partner for Martial Apprentices.

The reason for this was quite straightforward. Sparring with him on a regular basis would force them to fight a Martial Art adapted to them. His adapted Martial Art exploited any and all weaknesses in their style that it could.

Meaning, his Martial Art was the single greatest way to train weaknesses!

Rui had never truly considered this application of the Flowing Void Style and the VOID algorithm. Back on Earth, this would not have really worked as well, and it was never intended to be the purpose of Project Water. Years of that had prevented Rui from realizing all the possible applications in this new world.

By adapting to a Martial Artist, and having them spar against him over and over, they would learn what their weaknesses were and also how to compensate for their weaknesses through experience. This kind of weakness training probably surpassed anything the Martial Academies could provide, Rui dared to say.

The Martial Academies did have experienced Squires for teachers, but Rui did not think their insights could compare to the results obtained by the mind-numbing amount of data science that was used to forge the VOID algorithm.

It seems that the prestigious and insightful Martial Masters that had commissioned him as a sparring partner had come to realize this, and had chosen to capitalize on it.

Rui was inclined to accept this mission as well. This mission would not give him the real-life combat experience; however, he ultimately could not refuse commissions that his Martial Art was perfectly specialized to fulfill unlike any Martial Art in existence!

He immediately made it a point to accept the commission. Funnily enough, each of the Martial Masters had appointed a meeting with him if he accepted the commission. Rui couldn't help but wonder if there was a reason for that beyond just the commission.

He put the three mission bills aside as he shifted his attention to the rest.

He immediately dismissed the commission of the connoisseur of unique Martial Art who wanted Rui to document and pass on his Martial Art to him. He was not interested in sharing his Martial Art for money. Perhaps in the distant future he would entertain the idea of passing on his Martial Art, or atleast the core of it. But that would be of his own volition in his own time and place.
