Changes In appearance

**3rd person POV**

Meanwhile while Adam was undergoing his breakthrough, Owen was sitting by his side and before them were the other cadets of the Hargreaves family.

"It's been more than two hours since he started his breakthrough, what's he still doing?" One of the girls complained.

"Yeah, he's just been sitting there doing nothing for this entire time" another one of the boys chimed in. It's been two hours since they felt a torrent of energy converging in Adam's chest, but after a little while, the energy died down and he stayed still like that.

After another half an hour of waiting, Edward couldn't take it anymore and firmly said "Young master Owen, we've been waiting here for the past two and a half hours, the others ahead would have gotten way more points than us by this time".

"What do you mean?" Owen asked.

"I think we should go ahead, when he's done with his breakthrough, then he can catch up with us later" Edward replied.

Owen kept a contemplating face for a few moments before he said "The exam is not exactly a competition".

"You know what, go on ahead, I'll wait until he's done and then we'll meet up with you guys" Owen continued.

"Are you sure" asked Edward. "Yes go on" Owen replied.

The five then went ahead, the moment they were out of site, "Hah" Owen let out a breath. "Thank God they're gone, I had no idea how much longer I could keep the facade. Who knew keeping an aloof face would be so difficult, yet this bastard has an aloof face all the time" he said looking at Adam's face.

Owen sat in silence, an hour had passed after the departure of his family members. But suddenly, a silver light engulfed Adam forcing Owen to close his eyes.

Then something changed, a torrent of energy from the atmosphere was drawn from the surrounding towards the center of Adam's chest.

"So he's finally completing his breakthrough" Owen muttered as he felt Adam's aura jumped into gold rank and then mid gold rank in quick succession. Finally after everything calmed down and the silver light was gone, Owen opened his eyes and saw Adam also open his eyes.

"What happened to you!!? he asked.

**Adam Walker's POV**

But then suddenly, something strange happened, the book flashed a silver light, I was blinded for a moment and then I found myself back in my body. Then I felt a torrent of energy from the surrounding coming to the center of my chest where my core was already half formed.

The energy mixed with the already half formed core and in less than ten seconds, the core was completely formed. It was silver in color and I decided to form it right under my sternum.

The remenants of the energy began to fill the core until fifty percent where it stopped for a bit before going up again and eventually stopped at sixty three percent.

I had done it, I had reached mid gold rank, I could feel the explosiveness of power in my body, the thrumming of my newly formed core and the lightness of my body, I felt as if the earth could not hold me, but I shrugged the feeling off, it was simply a delusion that happens every time you attain a new rank. Basically, the feeling makes you feel like you're the strongest.

As the energy from my breakthrough finally calmed down, I slowly opened my eyes only to see a bewildered Owen in front of me.

"What happened to you!!? he asked.

"I brokethrough" I replied.

"That's not what I meant, of course I know you brokethrough, I meant your eyes and your hair".

"What about my eyes and hair? Don't tell me I became bald" I asked as I raised my hand to touch my head, I sighed in relief as I felt my hair still there.

I turned to Owen with a questioning gaze but he simply put his hand to my upper back and then bought his hand back to my front, only this time there was a tuft of hair in his hand.

"Is that..."

"Your hair? Yes".

I was baffled, I knew my was long but not this long, it reached my neck before but now it reached the middle of my back and with some silver streaks running through it. Could it be because of the breakthrough!?

"Wait until you see this" Owen said breaking me out of my thoughts. He bought a mirror out of his storage.

"You always have a mirror with you!?" I asked. "Tsk" he clicked his tongue. Just take a good look at yourself.

I collected the mirror and bought it to my face. When I looked at the mirror, I was greeted by two glowing silver orbs framed upon a stunningly handsome and expressionless face with a small nose, thin lips and high cheekbones.

"Are these my eyes!?" I asked no one in particular. My iris that used to be azure blue in color was now a glowing silver color with almost faded black patterns around the pupil. And it wasn't the only change, since even my navy blue hair that had become longer, had some silver steaks in it.

I didn't hate or dislike the changes, if anything it made me unique, especially if I'm more handsome like this.

'could it be because of that book' I thought as I tried remembering what the book looked like but I couldn't for the love of God remember it's appearance. It was like it's appearance was wiped out from my memory. Since I couldn't remember, I left it to future me.

"Hey, why are you zoning out?" Owen asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Nothing" I replied standing up.

"If you're done fan girling over your appearance, we should start moving, your breakthrough took three and a half hours.

"What!? It's only been like three minutes to me" I stated but then remembered my breakthrough to peak silver rank took five hours but it was only ten minutes to me.
