"The true purpose of the training is not to withstand such things. It is to ensure that those who possess power have the wisdom to act accordingly with that power - and the wisdom to not act at all, sometimes. Guardians have access to a great number of things that could easily be abused if placed in the wrong hands, so purity of heart has always been an absolute requirement." He clarifies, before continuing on. "If you have no interest in such things, then I can assign you to train under my apprentices instead. I believe the exercise would teach them lessons in patience that would do them well. Piccolo! Garlic! Come to me." He calls out.
Two figures immediately flicker into existence in front of Kami's throne, bowed down before him on their knees - judging by the brief flare of energy you sensed and the gust of wind following them, their appearance must have been the result of extremely high-speed movement that even you couldn't track instead of teleportation. Both are wearing robes and hunched over at the moment such that you can't see them well, though they raise their heads to their master and speak in unison. "What do you need of us, Lord Kami?" They ask.
"Stand. We have two guests here, which seek to improve themselves. I have given them a choice: to train under me, as additional apprentices-" He starts, to which you can sense the sudden tension in both of their bodies before he continues "- or under one of you, as you are both stronger than I in the fields that interest them. Though I would be glad to have more students personally, I must admit that it would be a wonderful learning experience for the both of you, so if they choose as much I expect you to respect that and do your best to mentor them." He finishes, the two students standing up now as commanded.
They turn around, revealing their appearance to you. One has green skin, with bulging pink spots noticeable along his arms. His ears end in sharp points akin to an elf's, and two sluglike antennae seem to be jutting out of his head. There's no doubt about it, especially with the name that Kami uttered earlier - this 'Piccolo' person must be the alien that lived in Yunzabit Heights! You're honestly quite shocked to not only find him alive, but to find him HERE of all places.
