Chairman, You Can't!!

Ejin City.

Inside the Grand Leader's Mansion.

An elderly man with gray hair sat in a seat, holding a cup of tea in his hands, quietly sipping it, his eyes staring blankly ahead.

The old man was none other than Netero, who had just met with Kazan.

To his left was a green, humanoid creature with a smooth head and a face the size of a mung bean.

Beans, a humanoid Magical Beast, has long served as Netero's secretary and is also an invisible pillar of the Hunter Association.

It was responsible for most of the operations of the Hunter Association.

On the right is a young man in a suit wearing glasses. He has a slightly cold demeanor and his black hair is tightly plastered to his scalp.

Netero remained calm and composed.

Despite having already met with the new decision-makers in Ejin City.

But how should I put it...?

Although the other person was a person with strong opinions, they were not the same as Netero had imagined...

Clearly, this decision-maker was not the person behind the scenes.

Netero is still capable of making this judgment.

He had just landed on the Airship.

He then noticed the Justice Rope that were being "operated" on a large scale in Ejin City.

I was quite surprised at the time.

After all.

What was on the newspaper one second has unexpectedly entered practical application the next.

With Netero's strength, he could naturally tell at a glance that these things were products of Nen Ability.

They all possess Nen.

However, what's strange is that these things aren't entirely composed of Nen...

They are essentially products of technology, have a material basis, and are numerous.

If they were Conjuration ability users, they probably couldn't create such a large number.

That's all.

That was enough to pique Netero's curiosity...

In the present world, apart from some ancient Ruins or Nen Ability devices passed down from civilizations, there are only a few examples of this.

It is now extremely rare for materializers to create their Nen Ability items using physical objects.

Of course, Netero himself is not Conjuration Devil Fruit user, so he is unaware of the reason behind it.

"Knov, what do you think of these things in Ejin City?"

"After all, you are also Conjuration ability user..."

Netero glanced sideways at the young man beside him and spoke softly.

The young man beside him was a newly minted professional Hunter.

His Nen Ability was exceptional, leaving a deep impression on Netero.

This outing was unexpected; I only invited them out because we ran into each other by chance.

Upon hearing the chairman's words, Knov raised his hand to adjust his glasses, a glint of light flashing in the lenses, and calmly replied.

"In my opinion, they've just wasted their talent creating some flashy but impractical things..."

"To think that you can change the order of a city simply by relying on these things is wishful thinking!"

"This is an abuse of Conjuration ability memories, and... I don't think it's a good ability construction at all."

Knov shook his head.

He possesses the top-tier Space ability of "Hide and Seek".

He said calmly, feeling confident that he was qualified to make a judgment on the matter.

"Of course, perhaps the owner of this Nen user doesn't think so..."

"I'm just making this assessment from the perspective of a Conjuration ability user."

"Oh... is that what you think?"

Netero smiled silently.

Upon hearing the chairman's words, Knov calmly asked.

How does the chairman view the other party's Nen Ability?

Netero, with a deep look in his eyes, shook his head and smiled.

"Who knows... Nen Ability itself is the power of miracles..."

Whether the other side can change the order of this city with these tools depends on their belief. As long as their belief is strong enough, anything is possible...

During their conversation...

"Squeak--"

The door was pushed open, and Netero and the others looked toward it.

Several teenagers pushed open the door and strode towards them.

The visitors were Ian and his companions.

Their eyes met, and Netero and the others' gazes lingered briefly on each other, revealing slight surprise and a gentle smile.

It seems... the main character has arrived...

The children in front of me all possess abundant Nen.

Even Netero couldn't help but marvel at how these people had awakened Nen Abilities at such a young age.

He's practically... a promising prospect for the Hunter Association...

Knov also carefully examined the group, and was visibly stunned when he saw the Nen emanating from them.

A group of children... had all awakened Nen, which was clearly beyond his expectations.

Ian looked at Netero and the others with a complicated expression.

Since arriving in this world... I've finally met him in person...

His gaze swept over Netero's side, and when he noticed Knov, his eyes paused slightly.

This guy is... bald!?

I never expected to meet them in this day and age!

Without a doubt, Knov's Nen Ability was something he had been drooling over for a long time...

Of course, he doesn't care about that anymore.

It's just spatial ability...

He currently has the [Wallpaper House] item on hand. Although its use is somewhat limited, adding "Contract and Restriction" might greatly increase its practicality.

Moreover... there are many spatial gadgets in the Doraemon world.

Once he gets his hands on his beloved [Anywhere Door], all that other stuff, this dimension, that apartment, will have to step aside!

Beside Ian, Uvogin and the others curiously sized up the old man.

They didn't know much about Hunters, so naturally they didn't know what the title of Hunter Guild Master really meant.

Although Ian had already told me about it along the way.

However, upon meeting him in person, it's hard to associate this old man with a world-class expert...

Aside from looking a bit more energetic, everything else is just too ordinary.

He doesn't exude even the slightest aura of a powerful figure...

Based on their current understanding of Martial Arts, they simply cannot comprehend what it means for every movement to be perfectly natural.

The rhythm of Netero's movements.

Only those with considerable strength can perceive it.

Uvogin and others...

We're still a long way off...

"Netero, I've only ever seen you on TV before, I never expected to run into you here today..."

Ian stepped forward and spoke first.

What he said makes sense.

I'd only ever seen the old man on TV before, and I'd even seen him cheat and use technology to try and take down an ant together...

However, no matter what...

The Netero before them were undoubtedly among the world's top Nen Ability users.

As the founder of Shingen-ryu, his understanding of Nen Abilities, including the concept of martial arts, far surpasses that of 99% of people in this era!

If they could get some guidance from the other party.

Undoubtedly, this will be of great help to them on the path of mindfulness.

This is much more reliable than Mizaistom, whom we haven't even seen yet!

"Hmm... little guy, you have quite a talent. How about joining the Hunter Association?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Netero stroked his beard and smiled as he spoke.

Ian hadn't expected that.

The other party actually tried to sell themselves right away.

However, becoming Hunter isn't out of the question.

He had no choice when he fell into Meteor City.

If you have the skills and the choice, becoming a professional Hunter isn't a bad option.

After all, it's just taking an exam and obtaining Hunter License, which grants access to numerous benefits.

Furthermore, the Hunter Association imposes very few restrictions on each Hunter, allowing everyone to do their own thing freely.

Not only him, but also Uvogin and the others could become members of the Hunter Association.

Anyway.

In the end, they will all be wiped out by him... the old-era organizations...

It wouldn't be a bad thing to let out a burst of brilliance at the last moment.

Moreover, within the Hunter Association, there are more than one disobedient, troublesome, and rebellious figure. People like Pariston cause trouble everywhere, yet they're doing just fine.

"President, we never expected to be valued by you. I was a little embarrassed to ask, but actually, my brothers and I have admired the Hunter Association since we were young. If possible, we would all be happy to contribute our enthusiasm to the Hunter Association!"

Ian grinned at the other person, revealing his white teeth with a bright, sunny smile.

Behind me.

Uvogin and the others exchanged bewildered glances; they had never seen Ian like this before.

Netero's lips curled slightly as he glanced at the smiling Ian, thinking to himself.

Oh wow... what an interesting little devil...

Knov, standing to the side, frowned.

He obtained his Hunter License by passing the Hunter Exam. If the Guild Master agrees, wouldn't that make this kid Hunter outright!?

That won't do!

He, Knov, absolutely disagrees!

"President, this is unacceptable!"
