"So this is the standard gear of the Martial Union, eh?" Rui glanced over to the items on the table in the dispatch facility. On the table was a mask, a uniform and a strange looking device.
The mask was optional, but highly recommended by the Academy to all Martial Apprentices. Many a times, the Martial Apprentices inevitably earned the ire and the grudge of powerful third-party organizations during their missions. Although these organizations had no power to do anything to the Martial Union as a whole, that wasn't necessarily true for individual Martial Artists.
Martial Artists were scary and untouchable to most people, but this wasn't truly the case for the more economically powerful. It was possible for these organizations to bully individual Martial Artists, especially the younger and lower Realm Martial Artists.
