Chapter 9 The Deal is Made
Chapter 9 The Deal is Made
Nen is a kind of energy within humans, present in everyone, but only a few people possess the ability to control their own energy, which is called Nen ability.
There are two ways to activate Nen: one is by meditating and having two wisps of gas in your hands. You open all the pores on your body from a point to a surface and bind the gas to the surface of your body. This will make you a Nen user.
The second method is more dangerous, involving someone who understands breath control forcibly opening the seminal vesicles and then mastering breath control.
This is the information about Nen that Eliji and Killua shared. As for the four basic principles and six major systems, we'll discuss that after Killua awakens Nen.
Even with this kind of information, it can be considered a fair transaction.
"Can you help me awaken this ability? Using your method of the deal." Killua immediately grasped the key and safe, effective method.
Eligi scratched his head and said, "I know you're from the Zoldyck family. Your family is too troublesome. Even telling you this information is a considerable risk for me."
Killua was somewhat surprised to hear this. He didn't expect that the other party would know about his family and even recognize him. You know, a photo of a member of the Zoldyck family can sell for 200 million Jenny, which shows that not many people outside know what the core members of the Zoldyck family look like.
"So, everyone in my family knows Nen abilities. That's infuriating. No wonder I always feel a strange sense of oppression whenever I see them. No, I must master this power." Killua seemed to have made up his mind.
"Clang clang clang clang—"
The sudden sound of weapons clashing at the front of the tunnel made Eligi frown. He ignored Killua and quickly walked to the other side of the tunnel.
Killua sensed that there were experts exchanging blows, so he hurriedly followed.
After a moment, Eligi saw that the people fighting were Hidan and Hisoka.
"Ugh! My foot seems to be stuck to something, I can't move it." Hidan looked down at his foot, and when he tried to lift it, it seemed like something was stuck to the ground.
In that brief moment of distraction, more than a dozen playing cards pierced Hidan's body like sharp blades.
Hisoka used his Nen ability to transform the playing cards into blades, which is an extremely advanced technique.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Damn it, you monkey who moves around like a monkey, just you wait!" Hidan was pinned to his body by more than a dozen playing cards but seemed unaffected, and finally threw the scythe in his hand away.
Hisoka was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting his opponent to be unharmed after taking the attack, so his reaction was a little slow, but he still bent over in an extremely strange posture to dodge the flying scythe.
Upon seeing this, Hidan forcefully pulled the flying scythe back, and the scythe flew towards Hisoka like a hook.
"Become a sacrifice to the evil god!" Hidan shouted.
Hisoka had no leverage point left, making it somewhat difficult to dodge this attack.
But Hisoka is a battle maniac; his battle instincts and adaptability are extremely strong.
So at the crucial moment, Hisoka twisted again, narrowly dodging the flying scythe that was hooked back diagonally.
Even so, Hisoka's cheek was still scratched and a trace of blood appeared.
Hidan caught the flying scythe with his hand, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, though it looked somewhat distorted: "Are you ready to become a sacrifice for the Jashin-sama?"
Hisoka frowned, unsure of what the other party intended to do, but he sensed a sense of danger.
"Whoosh—"
Just then, a large pin shot towards Hidan, hitting him squarely on the forehead. The pin was covered with a considerable amount of Nen energy.
"Da da da—"
A jarring sound came from the end of the tunnel. It was Illumi telling Hisoka to retreat. Clearly, Illumi didn't want to expose himself here, nor did he want to ruin the Hunter Exam because of a fight.
After all, the first reason for coming to the Hunter Exam was for Killua, and the second was to obtain the Hunter License through a mission.
"Hehehe, interesting guy, we'll meet again." Hisoka blew a kiss from afar, making Eligi shiver.
"You think you can just leave like this? Have you asked Lord Jashin?" Hidan clearly wasn't planning to let Hisoka off the hook, the guy who'd stuck so many playing cards into him.
"Alright, that's enough for today, or we'll miss the Hunter Exam." In the end, it was Eliji who stopped Hidan from using his secret technique.
"Tch! What a boring guy. Lord Jashin hates people like you." Hidan was clearly dissatisfied with Erigi, but he couldn't go against Erigi's will, after all, Hidan himself was still a Nen beast.
Meanwhile, Hisoka reunited with Illumi, only to hear Illumi say, "I can't control that guy; he might not be human."
"Oh, you mean he's being manipulated, like you, a pilot? Could it be the guy who was talking?" Hisoka was somewhat surprised.
You should know that Illumi is a manipulator, which means exactly what the name means. Anyone hit by a pin infused with his Nen will be controlled by Illumi.
However, there is a rule in the control system: you cannot manipulate the object being controlled.
It's actually quite normal that Illumi can't control Hidan, since Hidan has always been under Erigi's control.
Therefore, Eligi's Nen beasts are the nemesis of manipulators among Nen users.
In order to make up for the time lost due to the fight, Erigi did not make a deal with Kurapika.
Kurapika did not object to this; he couldn't let the Hunter Exam be delayed because of Nen abilities.
After all, the Hunter Exam is equally important, and passing the Hunter Exam will allow you to receive instruction from the Hunter Association instructors.
Furthermore, Eligi had also reminded Kurapika and his group that if they learned Nen before the Hunter Exam, the Hunter Association would not send a professional instructor.
Therefore, Eligi suggested that the group should try to learn Nen abilities after passing the Hunter Exam.
However, some people didn't seem to care much about Erigi's reminder. Killua was one of them. Killua soon told Gon everything that Erigi had said about Nen.
Leorio and Kurapika heard everything clearly, and even Erigi heard it.
Eric had no objection to this, but he did remind her, "The deal is already done. I hope you won't regret it later."
"Of course I won't regret it, as long as you have no objections," Killua said nonchalantly.
Eliji just smiled, knowing that Killua would eventually regret it.
