Training and Shopping

Khaos woke up early in the morning, feeling energized after a good night's sleep. He went to the training room, where Alina was waiting for him. As they began their training, Khaos could feel Alina's immense power. He was a bit intimidated but he knew that he had to face his fears if he wanted to become stronger.

"Let's begin," Alina said with a smile. "I'm going to spar with you to see how much you've improved."

Khaos nodded, and they began to circle each other. Khaos started to move quickly, trying to dodge Alina's attacks. Alina was holding back greatly, not wanting to hurt him, but she was still able to keep up with him easily. Khaos was amazed at her speed and agility. He could barely keep up with her movements.

As they sparred, Alina began to teach Khaos some new moves and techniques. She showed him how to use his Chaos aura to control people and time, and how to enhance his nullification skill to absorb energy attacks. Khaos was a quick learner, and he absorbed everything she taught him.

Their spar lasted for a while, and Khaos was never able to land a hit on Alina, even when she was holding back. Finally, they stopped and caught their breath.

"Wow, you're amazing," Khaos said, still a bit out of breath. "I never imagined I could move that fast."

"You did great," Alina replied with a smile. "But you still have a lot to learn. Don't let your guard down, Khaos. You never know when danger might strike."

Khaos nodded, feeling a newfound respect for Alina. She was not only incredibly powerful, but she was also a great teacher.

After their training session, they decided to go shopping. As they walked through the shopping center, Khaos noticed a few people staring at them in awe and some even whispering amongst themselves. He felt a bit self-conscious, but Alina seemed completely unfazed by the attention.

"Looks like we're the talk of the town," Khaos said with a small smirk.

Alina chuckled. "Don't let it get to your head. It's not like this is the first time I've been noticed."

Khaos raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you're saying you're used to all the attention?"

Alina playfully rolled her eyes. "I'm centuries old, Khaos. I've seen my fair share of admirers."

Khaos chuckled and shook his head. "Well, it's new to me. I guess being a rare and powerful species has its perks."

Alina smiled. "You're not too shabby yourself, Origin. I think the ladies are swooning over your new look."

Khaos blushed slightly at the compliment. "I...I don't know about that."

Alina chuckled again. "Relax, Khaos. It's good to be appreciated."

As they continued walking, Khaos couldn't help but steal glances at Alina. Her dark blue hair seemed to glow under the lights of the shopping center, and her golden eyes sparkled with a mischievous light. He found himself feeling drawn to her, but he wasn't sure if he was ready to explore those feelings yet.

After a while, they came across a clothing store and decided to check it out. Alina immediately went to the section with long, flowing dresses, while Khaos was more interested in finding some practical yet stylish clothing.

As they browsed through the racks, Khaos found himself feeling a bit awkward. He wasn't used to shopping for clothes with anyone, let alone a woman he was starting to have feelings for.

"Uh, Alina? Do you think this shirt would look good on me?" he asked, holding up a navy blue shirt.

Alina looked up from the dress she was examining and smiled. "I think it would look great on you, Khaos. But don't just take my word for it. Try it on!"

Khaos nodded and made his way to the fitting room. As he changed, he couldn't help but think about how comfortable he felt around Alina. It was like they had known each other for years instead of just a few days.

When he emerged from the fitting room, Alina's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, Khaos. You clean up nicely."

Khaos felt his cheeks heat up again. "Th-thanks, Alina. What do you think?"

Alina stepped forward and straightened his collar. "I think you look handsome. But then again, you've always been attractive to me, even before your transformation."

Khaos felt his heart skip a beat at her words. Was she flirting with him?

As they made their way to the checkout, Khaos couldn't help but feel a little giddy. Maybe this new life wasn't so bad after all.
