Chapter 43: Shifting (Shadow)

Looking at the two newest members, I could tell that they were anxious to get this done and over with. I continued with my speech, " As I have mentioned before, you are being tested to see where you classify. This test will tell you the powers that you possess, but it is just a general classification and does not mean that those are the only abilities that you have. There is the Jitsu category which is based off of combat skills. Jitsu's have enhanced abilities such as super strength, super speed, and being able to do many actions with their bodies that push their body beyond the capability of a normal human. There are Eltos who have control over elemental things such as rain and thunder. There are Curas who have special abilities to help heal their wounded colleagues or themselves. Then there are Proctors who act as protectors to their colleagues, such as when they're in battle they would take a bullet for them.

Then comes in the Breaker factor. Breakers have a special power that draws people towards them. They have the ability to break people's mindsets. Breakers have such a strong light that it makes people automatically want to protect them. These are just some of the main classifications because there are more, however these are the ones that I have had the most experience with. Do you both understand?"

"Yes sir," Airilice and Charlotte replied in unison.

" I just finished this test on Jagger and KL not too long ago. They were my two most unusual results so far."

From the corner of my eye, I saw Airilice shoot a smile in her brother's direction. Pouting, Jagger crossed his arms over his chest.

" Well Ms. Kiyano since you asked to go first please take a seat on this table. I will put these suction cups on you and they will poke a bit because they are going to release a light dose of sleeping gas into you. Once your results are computed, I will take them off and you will wake up. Then comes the fun part."

" Alrighty," she replied, her hands shaking as she sat down on the table. Wincing at the coldness of it, she wrapped her arms around herself.

Lily came over and helped me put the suction cups all over her body. Machines began to beep to life and I scanned the multiple screens that displayed her vitals. From the look of her numbers, she was a very healthy person. However, just like Jagger there were traces of rubise found in her system. After a little while her results popped up on the screen and as I computed the numerical results, it was discovered that she was a Breaker just like her cousin.

Even though Charlotte read as a Breaker, her levels were nowhere near as numerically high as KL's were. They were in what seemed to be the normal range for a Breaker, which wasn't bad at all. This just led me to presume that there really was a great possibility that KL was the Ultimate Breaker.

Puzzled as to how a Breaker could have rubise in their system made me a little concerned. Did the effects of it ware off on her? Did her powers deactivate it? From what I've seen she acted like she was in complete control of her actions, so my mind couldn't help but want to study and learn more about this very specific predicament.

Switching out Charlotte with Airilice, both her and I were shocked to find out that she was both a Jitsu and a Shifter.

" So what does that mean?" She asked, her magenta eyes reading over the expression on my face.

" You are great with combat, and you are also a shapeshifter."

" Are you sure you read that right?" She asked, repeatedly blinking in shock.

Swiftly skimming the numbers once again, I replied, " Yes Airilice."

" I have never shapeshifted before in my life. How is that even possible?" She asked, her eyes widened in a terrified sort of way.

" Perhaps it's a skill you have yet to unlock."

" So what do Shifters do?" Jagger asked.

" What? He just explained that!" Replied Charlotte, giggling at him.

" If you would've let me finish what I was saying, I was going to ask do they change into objects or animals or what?" Jagger asked,eyeing Charlotte. An embarrassed blush took over her face.

" It really depends. There's a tremendous amount of factors that can contribute to what shifters can change into. However, they are very rare to come about as well as Breakers are. I am fortunate to have one of each sitting in one room with me."

"Well there's two of us!" Charlotte said, playfully ruffling KL's hair. KL couldn't help but giggle at her cousin.

"Of course there is. I was just saying that we had at least one of each."

"Sure you were," Charlotte playfully responded.

"As I was saying earlier though, most of the scenarios I've heard with Shifters is that they are able to change into objects and can also disguise themselves as different people."

" Well, yeah. I haven't done any of that," Airilice said, twirling a piece of her magenta hair.

" Like I said before, it's probably just a power you haven't discovered yet."

" I suppose so," Airilice replied, looking down at the floor in confusion.

" Any more questions Airilice?" I asked.

" Nope. To be honest, I'm just shocked."

I shot her a smile."All will be figured out within time."

Looking back at Charlotte, I told her, " Now, I've found this substance in your bloodstream that is not normal. This substance was also found in Jagger's blood which leads me to the conclusion that you both were associated with Shizuka somehow, correct?"

They both nodded their heads.

" Well this substance is called rubise," I began to explain. Explaining the Kiryan legend to her, her chocolate colored eyes stared blankly at me.

" A lot to take in all at once?" I asked, chuckling.

" Well...," said Charlotte, tilting her head to the side like a lost puppy.

" Um, yeah. That was definitely a lot of information to take in," Airilice bluntly replied.

" Well with your results given and that explained, I think you are all set. Have a great day everyone and please don't trample each other on the way out."

Everyone blended in with each other and chatter filled the atmosphere as they all exited the lab.

Lily had stayed behind and I found it quite odd for her to be so silent throughout the whole meeting.

" You okay, Lily?"

" Fine, Master. I'm just trying to finalize this potion," she replied while looking at a tube filled with green liquid. The liquid lacked its normal bright green glow, which I happened to find quite peculiar.

" Why?"

" I wanted to make a back stock just in case we need one in an emergency. I'll freeze these and then get an Elto to thaw them when we need to use them."

I nodded, " Smart idea. It's always a good thing to think ahead. By the way, have you seen Taj?"

" He's either sleeping or making music in his room," she replied, playfully rolling her eyes. A smile danced on her lips.

" Figures," I replied. " Well have a good day, Lily."

" You as well, Master."

As I exited and walked back to my office, I sat comfortably in my big chair and opened my laptop. A message appeared on the screen before me:

Still no sign of the package sir.

As my mind flashed back to Kratos' suspicion about Mercurius, I couldn't help but sigh to myself. Maybe Kratos had a point. Maybe I was keeping too many secrets.

Introducing the first shapeshifter in the organization, Airilice! Haha, I feel like there's a lot in store for her later on. What is your impression of her so far?

Charlotte is now confirmed as a Breaker, but were her results confirming that KL actually is the Ultimate Breaker?

So who do you think keeps messaging Shadow? What is 'the package'?

CHAPTER COUNTDOWN: 3 MORE CHAPTERS

Woooow I can't believe we only have 3 chapters left! I'm so excited and sad at the same time! Haha!
