As of the recent death of his brother he has decided to re-enter the martial arts world
With the death of Fonzie to whom he had hoped to help his older brother, through the martial arts world and not really liking nor disliking Wolfgang as they are brothers.
So re-entering, seeing the fact their master was dead due to Wolfgang he instead went to his father who was still mourning.
Seeing a spark of life in his young boy who could do decency in the world and not be like the two, he decided to go through mourning by teaching Will a better and more practical means of martial art. Though strict in doing so he is fair in his teachings and Will goes even farther into trying to at least surpass his father thanks to his constant pushing from his father. Continuously still being shown more to this day, and being taught by his father moves and things he has never seen.
His father tells him of their bloodline, whilst Will had been trying to get jobs and been working part-time, his brothers had spent practicing and went forward with it in their own ways, one did the crime and then went to redemption with the help of it and the other.....well he is doing his own thing.
His father bestows upon him his old Uniform which holds power to help the boy further, and through practice and tribulation, he may even begin to absorb it and gain some new abilities alongside it.
With his new GI in hand, training, and practice, and with a lack of funds and whatnot, ready to get stronger and the best of the best. He walks forth ready for anything.

Whenever the Artifact's owner allows it to temporarily expand their perception, an aggressive red glint can be seen shining for a split second from within the center of the dagger's crossguard. Likewise, the Artifact's silhouette momentarily blurs as well.
To the Artifact owner, during their period of otherworldly awareness, all opaque materials become partially transparent. Crimson, glowing, ever-shifting glyphs start to frequently appear floating inside all of the aforementioned opaque-turned-transparent objects and terrain. Normally, the glyphs themselves aren't distracting, and tend to be somewhat faint, however some decide to trace the outlines, edges and corners of seen-through surfaces instead of simply floating without purpose - these ones are quite more noticeable, being a bit more numerous and bright. The Artifact owner is mentally aware of all such glyphs within this sense's range.
The difficulty of discerning the less obvious details within a given area dictates how colorful the glyphs in said area appear: for example, glyphs within the first and thus unobscured wall that the Artifact's owner could see are of a strong red hue, while glyphs in an object that's behind several usually-opaque surfaces or deep underground would be darker - both in color and in brightness.
