Rui had two goals with the next phase of mission completion.
The first was to diversify his experience with different classes and types of missions. He intended to sign up for different missions outside of the standard bodyguard or protection missions. He had long grown bored of these kinds of missions and wanted to at the very least try out different kinds of missions before returning to a bodyguard mission.
The second goal was to accumulate an even larger number of merits and purchase powerful trump cards that he would hopefully be able to master before the Kandrian Martial Festival would roll around. His foundation was not truly solid as Outer Convergence bolstered his offense and Inner Divergence that solidified his defense, perhaps he ought to strengthen his grappling since it had been neglected a bit, but that wasn't a big issue.
