In the end, being able to get a technique of their own was a pipe dream of every Altered, knowing that their chances of doing so were essentially nill.
Enlisting in the military for a minimum of 6 months was mandatory for all citizens the moment they make the choice of stepping through the teleporter into the Beast Domain and officially becoming an Altered.
The ongoing war with the Demon race mandated such a strict conscription, but it wasn't as bad as it seemed on paper.
Most people weren't fighters despite being Altered, so they were only given the most basic training and sent to the back lines and technical side of the military, while the actual fighters had a greater chance of being sent to the front lines, or any similar area where the chances of seeing action were much higher.
Nick had thought about this, since he naturally had to sign up for the military some day too, but he still had plenty of time before even considering that.
