In fact, it seemed to employ the same principles that made the island float, to negate the island's gravity, allowing the humans inside the suit to experience normal gravity. It probably employed some esoteric substances that were highly phobic to gases to reduce the amount of air that entered the suit, ensuring that the pressure and density of air within the suit were normal.

"May I know your names?" The staff member asked.
"Falken."
"Nake,"
Kane lazily switched around two consonants in his name, earning a disapproving glance from Rui.
"We don't have to provide identification verification, do we?" Rui asked.
"Correct sir, we do not demand identity proofs," She smiled as she proceeded along.
Rui had expected as much, even if it was still counter-intuitive as a person who was from Earth and had also lived his entire life in the Kandrian Empire.
Back on Earth, communication technology was so powerful and accessible, that it had spread across the entire world allowing all nations to create a universal system of passports, visas, and other forms of identity documentation. One could not travel to another nation without a passport which signified the native country's approval of the citizen leaving the country through an official channel, or without a visa, which signified the approval of the country that the person was traveling to. A complex web of protocols laid out through various international treaties allowed for a highly sophisticated system of identity and security verification and approval across the globe.
However, such a system was utterly impossible on the Panama Continent for the time being. The sheer communication technology and framework needed to create and support such a system was just impossible.
That was why most nations had a crude and unsophisticated system of protocols to handle immigration and emigration. They had no choice, there were no universal norms that could be relied upon. Far too many nations and states of human civilization lacked proper means of identification, and it was because there were far too many of them that it was impractical to bar them all.
It meant cutting away a lot of trade that was far too beneficial to the nation.
The Floating Sect wasn't in the same position, but they had their own reasons for lightening the requirements for entry. Many Martial Squires came to visit the Floating Ajanta Island from across the entire continent. They would be rejecting too many high-quality candidates if they demanded identity proof.
"That was super lax," Kane murmured, voicing his own thoughts on the matter. "How do they prevent the enemy Martial Squires from infiltrating the island with such lax conditions?"
That was actually a keen point to bring up.
"It's probably because they have information on all of the Martial Squires of the Kaddar Region that could infiltrate the Floating Sect," Rui replied.
"How is that the case?" Kane frowned.
"Given that the nations of the Kaddar Region are capped at Senior-level, it means every Martial Squire is prominent," Rui explained. "Even if the Floating Sect only knows their Martial Art and Paths, they will be able to weed them out."
"Ah," Kane understood what Rui was trying to convey. "Because the infiltrating Martial Squires cannot hide their Martial Art and Martial Paths if they don't want to die."
"Correct," Rui nodded. "Even if the nations of the Kaddar Region deploy high-grade Martial Squires, they will most certainly be killed in the challenge if they do not fight seriously. And when they fight seriously, they will be forced to expose their Martial Art and Martial Path, making it much easier for the Floating Sect to identify them. If I'm not wrong, it's likely that the Kaddar Region has lost powerful assets trying to infiltrate the Floating Sect, before they achieved any success. It is an extremely high-risk option. Still, I suspect that there will be additional security measures if we so succeed in our challenge and enter the Floating Sect."
"Oh, these are our rooms," Kane remarked as they reached the end of the corridor. "Let's get some rest, it has been a long day."
"Make sure to go through the rule book," Rui advised him.
"Yeah… no, I'd rather just have you read it and explain it to me," Rui closed his door with a resigned chuckle.
The hospitability was decent, and that was good enough, he didn't expect a five-star treatment or anything of that sort.
The bare furniture in the room seemed unaffected, but a quick sweep of the substances with his senses allowed him to analyze why they weren't succumbing to the pressure. The materials weren't all just Squire-level, in fact, he recognized some of the esoteric substances to actually be Apprentice-level with his newfound knowledge in esoteric material science.
They were employed in brilliant ways to handle the enhanced gravity and air pressure. The enhanced gravity was countered by esoteric substances that bolstered evenly distributed pillars made up of esoteric alloys. While the air pressure was actually more complicated. The furniture was actually filled with a powerful esoteric gas known as calconogen that exerted a tremendous amount of pressure disproportionate to its temperature or volume, countering the extreme air pressure from the outside.
A simple yet sublime solution, one that even nature applied. Many creatures that existed at the bottom of the ocean many kilometers underwater were able to survive due to having a remarkable amount of internal pressure that countered the external pressure.
In fact, even normal humans possessed a similar mechanism that allowed them to withstand standard air pressure without even feeling it.
He began noticing these small things that he previously ignored due to not having the background and foundation to not entirely understand. It made sense that esoteric material science was at the forefront of research across the entirety of human civilization, it was also true that it had more potential than other fields of science as far as harnessing more power. It made Rui understand how technology is able to keep up with Martial Art.
