Kaiser woke up with sweat all over is body as if he had just experienced a nightmare, getting off the bed he went to the bathroom to wash is face.
Getting to the bathroom, kaiser turned on the tap as water steamed down on to the closet before taking a hand full of water then splashing it on his face.
Guiding his hands from his face onto his hair, he sled his hair back as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Seeing himself in the mirror kaiser couldn't believe what he was seeing, because what stared back at him was a teen with a well-proportioned face with curly white hair that looked like snow, as no strand of black was present but the most striking change was that of his eyes.
His platinum grey eyes had turned violet as they resembled that of void's.
He shook his head to get rid of the different thoughts that crossed his mind, as he removed his shirt to obverse the changes that had occurred in his body.
Removing his shirt, a well-toned body riddled with scars was meant to be visible as it was the body he had attained through multiple life and death situations from the missions.
But what he saw made him smirk as his previous body which was a little larger and riddled with scars was now like that of an olympic swimmer with no scars present as it was fully healed.
Admiring his kaiser suddenly remembered what actually made a drifter powerful and that was aether, closing his eyes to concentrate as he tried to feel the aether in his surroundings.
After awhile kaiser could feel purple specks flying around in the air, as smile cripped to his face.
But he also noticed that parts of this purple specks were been absorbed into his body without the need to actively absorb them, he was fascinated by this but decided to think about it later.
Kaiser freshened up as he was about to leave the restroom, opening the door kaiser was flabbergasted as he saw Kayden, Alice and Freya standing just outside the door.
They all exchanged a stunned look at each other indicating they didn't expect this situation either, Kaiser taking a deep breath shouted
"You fucking perverts, get the fuck out of my room".
The perpetrators dashed out of the room as kaiser shouted, closing the door as they left. Kaiser locked the door of his room thinking 'I should definitely change my locks'.
After dressing up, kaiser left his room before going down the stairs to meet the perpetrators. Getting to the living room he saw Kayden and the rest as he gave a look that said 'explain yourselves'.
Kayden took charge saying that because kaiser awakening, he unintentionally leaked aether which made them think there was an intruder in the house who had taken him hostage leading to the previous situation.
Understanding, Kaiser nodded his head as he took a sit before turning back to look at them. Seeing them staring at him weirdly he asked
"What are you staring at?"
Alice looked at him with a piercing gaze as if trying to dig in to him before asking,
"You look different what happened to you", looking at his body size he had undoubtably changed.
Freya peaching in said, "Yeah, did you get a make over or something and what's wrong with your eyes".
Kaiser inhaled and exhaled as he said, "After waking up I went to the bedroom wash my face as my body was covered in sweat, that was when I found out my body had changed…..".
Kayden was quite as kaiser narrated the events that occurred after he woke up till the current point before saying
"The changes you went through must be related to your awakening, it as been said that after awakening some hosts may experience some physical change".
"Each change that happens depends on the power, some may experience massive changes while some experience little to no change".
"The stronger the power the more the changes that appear on one's body as the body undergoes these changes to better adapt to one's power".
Kaiser listened as Kayden explained the reason for the changes he underwent.
But he couldn't have been more wrong kaiser didn't just undergo some little changes, void had basically destroyed and reconstructed his body again from scrape.
What void had done was something literally close to impossible even with there advanced technology, void had to reconstruct kaiser's body to be able to harness his power.
Since his power was an innate ability of his race, so kaiser's reconstruction literally altered his DNA making him the closest thing to a void walker, if he wasn't one already which would explain the violet eyes as it was something only common to their race.
Technically this meant kaiser physic was capable of plane walking, but since he is basically the only one of his kind it won't be possible to plane walk.
Kaiser himself didn't know all of the details of his change, but since Kayden had told him of it was normal, he didn't think too deep about it.
They all left the topic of kaiser's change as they went to eat, after eating Kayden had told kaiser to meet him in the basement as he left but not before telling him to also bring with him the birthday gifts he gave him.
*****
Arriving in the basement Kaiser could be seen holding two items wrapped in clothing as he stood in front of Kayden.
Kayden took the items from kaiser as he unwrapped them before laying them on the floor, one of the items was a black sword which has the same length and width of a katana but it wasn't curved instead it was straight.
But the weirdest part was that it didn't have a guard instead there was a blue gem enclosed in a middle that connected the handle to the blade while the dagger looked relatively normal.
Kayden told kaiser to choose between one of the two weapons that was on the floor as they were going to use does to weapons to spar, this was to test out kaisers power and enhanced physical capabilities.
Kaiser chose the weird sword as Kayden picked up the dagger before getting into a stance, seeing as they were both prepared Kayden said
"Be sure to use your aspect as this spar is to test out the extent of your capabilities".
Kayden done talking said out loud "START"
Knowing kaiser's fighting style Kayden took the initiative to attack first, dashing straight at kaiser.
Kayden held the dagger in a reverse grip as lunged it at his opponent's head but was shocked as his dagger went right through him.
Kaiser had a deranged smile on his face as he said "This ability might just be as incredible as yours, Kayden", twisting his body kaiser did a spinning kick at Kayden's head.
Seeing the kick coming Kayden raised his hand to block it, even after blocking it he still shifted backwards as he didn't expect the force of the kick to be that strong.
Kaiser took this chance to strike as he stabbed at Kayden but unfortunately, he stepped to the side as he grabbed kaiser's arm trying to disarm his opponent.
Phasing again kaiser succeded in escaping but couldn't rest as Kayden didn't give him any breathing space, kaiser cursed out as he was starting to get frustrated
"Shit, can't you just chill out I thought this was just a spar"
But Kayden didn't listen as he continued his assault on Kaiser, but even with all his effort there wasn't a single scratch on Kaiser's body as it all went through him.
It went on like that for ten minutes before kaiser finally ran out of aether and couldn't keep up, they took a brake as rested on the floor of the basement.
Kayden said as he looked at the exhausted boy on the floor, "That aspect of yours is really useful, if you learn how to use it properly you could become unbeatable when it comes to close combat"
Kaiser replied as he breathed heavily, "Yeah, that's if I don't die from exhaustion first"
Kayden laughed as he said "All aspects are like that when you first get them you just need to practice".
The room was silent for a while as only the sound of the two men breathing could be heard before Kayden said
"Hey Kai, I think you should go to the academy"
Hearing what Kayden said kaiser was a little shocked as he said, "what are getting on about old man".
A vein appeared on Kayden's head as he slapped the back of kaiser's head before saying, "You brat, I'm just 30 and the academy minimum requirement for entry is to be a E-rank drifter before the age of 18".
"Even if you are just a F-rank at the moment with enough training I believe you could become a E-rank before the entrance exam"
Kaiser stood up as he had rested enough as he said, "Why do even have to go when you can just tech me"
Kayden replied "I can't always watch over you, through the academy you can meet people that will always have your back. You can't always count in us for everything and this might give you a chance to become stronger".
Kaiser knowing he was right just giving up, he agreed
"Okay, I'll go"
Kayden smiled as he took a stance as he said,
"Good, we have a lot of work to do and the entrance exam is in three months".
Kaiser smiled as he said, "So let's get started then".
