In the large spacious training hall two persons could be seen battling with each other. Both of them are battling without any weapon in their possession. It is a pure show of hand-to-hand combat and martial arts.
One of them is large in the stature with the detailed back muscle, his raven black hair is flowing as he performing different move set countering the other person. This person is none other than Dante Grimwold, his red eyes are keeping the track of the person in front him.
The person in front him is small compare to him but tall nonetheless. This person is Kaios; he is sparring with his father for at least thirty minutes. His long red hair is swaying from one side to another from time to time.
His training clothe is drenched in sweat and his breathing patterns are irregular, unlike him Dante is pristine and not a drop of sweat can be seen in him.
Suddenly a kick come in front his face but he leaned to the left and dodge it effortlessly. Then he caught it throw Kaios from his leg to one corner.
Then Dante spoke, "Good good, your martial art is getting better, you just need to perfect your battle sense."
"Hah…. You are telling this and throwing from one side to side another like a rag doll", Kaios spoke weakly as he is rising from the throw.
Then he dashed and leapt towards Dante, sweeping his hand to grab Dante's head to which Dante reacted with a swift dodge.
Kaios landed then followed with a back sweep towards Dante's legs.
Dante jumped to back slightly effectively dodging, then laughed as he spoke, "Ha...Ha...Ha...You should not compare me with yourself, Son."
"I am a Diver for almost 25 years. My battle sense will always be better than you, even if I am not martial artist. But you should not sell yourself short, you are better than me when I am of you age and most of younger generation on this planet."
Dante Grimwold is a stage 9 Awakener with path of Wind. He wields a broad bladed halberd as his main weapon. There is not any mention about the special attribute of his so, there exists only rumors that he is too fast that even Magisters are wary of that.
Both of them are fighting from the 6 a.m. and it has already been 6 and 30 minutes. They continue their fight for another 30 minutes.
During those thirty minutes Kai used every combo he knows on the Dante, but Dante countered them all and threw Kai to every corner of the training hall.
But that does not mean that he was not surprised by the Kaios, Kaios sometimes came close to get him off guard. He was amazed by the Battle IQ of the Kaios but mostly he was surprised to see the physical prowess of Kaios.
Even though Kaios is only a Stage 1 his body strength can match that of a Stage 4 without even Psion augmentation. This is one of the benefits of having high Psion reserve and purity. His body will adapt and mutate faster as time passes.
As their sparring session ended Lyra came from the door behind them.
"You should not be too hard on hm, Dante. He awakened recently.", Lyra spoke as she went towards Kaios to check on him.
"I would do that if our Son is normal. This little monster is absorbing everything like a sponge and don't start me on his physical strength. That is on the level of Stage 4 normally without any augmentation and it is only two days of his awakening.", Dante boasted with look of pride in his crimson eyes.
"If Magister or any other Guild Master knew they would be fuming right now so, we have to maintain secrecy from them till we leave.", Dante spoke with a little warry in his tone.
"Why? Would not the Magister protect us as you are going to be an asset of Solaria Empire?", Lyra asked in confusion not understanding his husband's reason.
"Yeah, normally but that old fossil is at the end of his potential. Why do you think he is a Continental
Magister for so long, even when I am nearing his level.", Dante answered
Hearing this Lyra thought what will happen to them if the irregularities of Kaios leak out until they got out of this Planet.
But the person in the question could be seen lying on the lap of Lyra without any knowledge of the change he will making in the future.
Kaios then open his eyes and rose from the lap of Lyra. Only a couple of minutes needed before his body adapted to the pain and make him resistant to it.
As he woke up, he heard a voice "Do you rested well, Kai?"
It was the voice of Lyra, who is speaking to the Kaios.
"Your Father will be going now to the Dive cave; he has to prepare for his advancement. So, I will now take the sessions for the both sparring and physical training.", Lyra told to Kaios.
Hearing this Kaios looked at his father and spoke, "You are advancing to Stage 10 so soon, Dad?"
"Yeah, I am now on the border of the Stage 10, I just have to increase my Psion Reserve for once again to reach the Stage 10.", Dante replied.
Kaios then asked again, "But did not you say we have 3 years before you advance and we leave the planet?"
"Oh…. That is just to hide the truth from the Magister. I do not trust that old coot.", Dante answered.
"Okay… You can both end your conversation and Kai come Physical training Ward to test your physical strength.", Lyra spoke suddenly interrupting their conversation.
"YES, MAM", Kai saluted playfully.
"I will also come with both of you. I also want to see it with my own eyes; how is body adapts."
Like this three of them go to the physical training ward to check on Kaios's improvement.
As they reached in the ward Lyra told the managing AI to set all the equipment to the stage 4 to test the current physical capability of Kaios.
For the next forty minutes Kaios tried every equipment that check every major muscle group to minor ones like serratus anterior, which is good for the pushing, punching or many other things.
After some time, Lyra got the muscle analysis from the AI. As both she and Dante checked this, they both gobsmacked.
Kaios seeing his both parents like this, became confused.
Why both Mom and Dad are standing there passively. Did there is something wrong with my results. Kaios thought to himself.
Then ask them not able to contain his curiosity, "Dad….Mom, what happened? Why are both of you standing there stupefied? Is there any wrong with the analysis?"
