Changed?

Shizuka entered the underground training chamber and was shocked by what she sees it was bigger than the house above.

She looked around in the large room with a ceiling and notice the walls were painted to resemble a cloudy sky like its real and over a floor was desolate, Several rock mountains, brown, craggy land dotted with dead trees.

While looking around in the training chamber, she found in the center a red hair kid half naked laying on the ground with a katana stabbing the ground on his side.

Shizuka saw the person, and run immediately to him, she know the person who was sleeping on the ground.

"Asahi-nii!" Shizuka yell while running in concern.

Yes, it was Aito Asahi who was sleeping on the ground cause of exhaustion.

When Shizuka arrived at him, she immediately checks Asahi who was half-naked have traced cuts and burns on his clothes she was smart enough that something happened to him so Shizuka was about to cry while checking immediately if he is injured or not.

After checking She sighed with relief that there was no sign of a bruise or wound on him and Shizuka started to notice something change in him that almost didnt recognize him.

Shizuka looked at him for a while starting to blush and looked away from him.

----------

While Shizuka looked away from him, Asahi was slightly moving and starting to wake up.

At this moment in the Underground Chamber Asahi who was laying on the ground immediately regained consciousness as he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a replica familiar sky ceiling made by him, he stare at it for a while and thought.

'I didnt know this ceiling was beautiful.'

While he was mesmerized by the sky ceiling, he was starting to notice someone was with him and looked to the side where the presence is and his eyes were wide in surprise cause he saw.

"Shizuka-chan?!"

Shizuka looked at Asahi was fully awake, a smile appeared on her face, and said "Im glad youre awake, Asahi-nii," while suddenly coming to his side.

"Um, How did you come here Shizuka-chan?" Asahi asked right away, from what he remembered he cast some barriers around his house and training chamber to prevent anyone from entering.

"Well..." Shizuka said then it took a while explaining what she did and how did she enter the chamber.

While Asahi is listening and nodded to the conclusion of what happened.

It seems a collision between the battle tet and him was so strong that the barrier he made can't handle much power and shattered after the battle but the mystery for Asahi thought is about the light that Shizuka mentioned and the place underground was full damaged earlier cause of the battle was clean like nothing happened and the one watching me in battle.

Also, there is one thing that is good news for him, the memory of his mom(Pandora) was still intact, he doesn't know how but Asahi was happy for him that he didnt forget.

"More importantly, Asahi-nii" Shizuka suddenly speaks out and interrupts what Asahi doing.

"What?" Asahi asked while tilting his head and a question mark appeared.

"What happened to you to change so much like that?"

Asahi was suddenly confused about what she said and asked "What? what do you mean by change?"

When he stands, he noticed something strange and he asked "Wait, Shizuka-chan when did you get taller?"

From what he remembered, he was taller than Shizuka and now it seem they are now the same height.

"That's what I'm talking about Asahi-nii. Since when you became smaller."

"What?!"

Asahi who looked more mature like an 11-year-old appearance than his actual age before(8) became now the younger appearance of same 6-year-old as Shizuka.

He can't believe what is happening right now but when Asahi who was panicking right now suddenly calms down right away unknowing he doesn't know what is happening.

"Nii. can you tell me, why are you laying in there? also what is this cool room" Shizuka asked the cause of curiosity while her eyes showed a star that really wants to know what happened.

"..."

While Asahi sense her emotion and intention, he was silent for a moment and couldn't explain since it will become dangerous for her, especially since the canon is not started yet, so he just said and patted her head.

"Im sorry Shizuka-chan, I can't tell you yet, but someday, don't worry if you became an adult or strong enough then I tell you."

"Mouuu, Asahi-nii, Im not a kid anymore," Shizuka replied while she was pounting to receive a patting but she still enjoyed it.

While Shizuka enjoyed the patting, heard the last part and she got the idea.

"Then, Asahi-nii make me stronger."

"Eh?" Asahi was stunned by what Shizuka said, he didnt expect that and replied.

"Are you sure about this Shizuka?, you might be hurt about what I teach you also Im a very strict person," Asahi said while he leaked his 0.5% little magic to pressure her to change her mind.

Asahi noticed that even though his physique has become smaller however his inner magic power has increased hundreds of folds so he just let .5 power enough to pressure her.

"O-of...course... I'm...determined!" Shizuka barely answered while feeling pressured and was about to kneel and pass out, she didnt know what is happening but she looked at Asahi looked serious for the first time and so she shouted her all energy to answer him.

When she was about to pass out and fall, suddenly the pressure was gone and Asahi catch her and assists her also said: "You pass, I will teach you to become stronger in exchange don't tell anyone about this place, Okay."

In his thought 'As expected of the mc little sister she has strong-willed despite pressurize her.'

Shizuka was getting better from being pressured earlier and nodded at Asahi's reply and don't have feelings of pressure anymore, she stand up on her own and said: "I am in your care."

After the talking, the two returned to his house and Asahi made a snack first and talk about going when Shizuka going to start her training.

After talking, Shizuka remembered the purpose of why she came here first the place but Asahi refused to go first since there was something wants to check.

Shizuka nodded and went out while Asahi guided him to the door before she goes out Asahi remind her again of the promise (about the underground chamber) and Shizuka understand then she go home.

Asahi was waving at her from leaving the house when Shizuka was gone, he go back to the living room and sat on the sofa, and tried to do something.

He sits comfortably on the sofa and closed his eyes, calmed his mind, cleared away his thoughts, and looked inward.

The moment he opened his eyes Asahi was in a different place and "saw" something different from what he visited last time in the Ocean of Consciousness.

Image:

The Ocean of Consciousness in the other words ocean of his/her mind is the inner world of the person.

Asahi was able to learn this by meditating in swordsmanship training however it took a while to clear his mind while meditating.

He looked around in his inner world and saw the surrounding was changed it became more colorful than before also notice the sphere was radiating a divine power when you looked at it carefully on the inside of the sphere was a crystal chest king piece.

Image:

He immediately recognizes the sphere, it was Tet's Authorities Asahi looked at the sphere.

*twitch*

He noticed the soul of Tet twitched a bit, and that made Asahi widen his eye with surprise and looked at it closely for a moment as if it was his imagination, and then a flash-bang event in front of His eyes.

"Ahh!....my Eyes!!....." Asahi shouted while quickly covering his eyes and rolling in his inner world.
