Nobunaga's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Ian.

Clearly, through the [Gate of Glory], Nobunaga should have indeed achieved his goal of twelve strikes per second.

However, the other person's experience left Ian quite puzzled.

[Gate of Glory]...

Would this prop require a different training instructor just because someone is using it?

Then, Uvogin, Feitan, and Kuroro.

Each of them set a small goal to improve their combat abilities, and then stepped into the [Gate of Glory].

Uvogin wanted to improve his punching power.

Feitan chose to increase his speed.

As for... Chrollo, it's a technique he learned from the Zoldyck Family assassination method!

When they came out again...

They had all achieved their goals and were full of praise for the [Gate of Glory] item.

According to Chrollo and others.

Ian knew.

Inside this door, they all encountered a cunning person who forcibly created cultivation plans for them.

However, for the group, these training plans, while somewhat difficult, were still within their challenge range.

Ultimately, once they completed their training, their improved skills naturally followed.

However, Ian knew.

What Chrollo and the others were talking about... was exactly the [Gate of Glory] he remembered.

As for the "Cat Teacher" that Nobunaga encountered...

That's strange, who is this guy?

Why is it that only Nobunaga encounters this guy?

This question lingered in Ian's mind for the time being. Although he could summon gadgets from the Doraemon world through daily check-ins, he only had a general understanding of these gadgets and the right to use them.

Even he didn't understand the underlying principles behind how some of these props worked.

"Hey, Nobunaga, cheer up! You've done a great job!"

"That's right. Although the Cat Teacher you mentioned is very strong, your talent is not bad either. Are you going to give up your pursuit of swordsmanship because of this?"

The next day.

Located in the Sharku Manor.

Ian and the others were taking turns trying to persuade Nobunaga.

It's really because of this guy ever since he came out of the [Gate of Glory].

He always looked listless, completely losing his former fighting spirit.

But no matter how they tried to persuade them, it seemed to have no effect.

Ian didn't understand.

Even if that so-called "Cat Teacher" is very strong, he's still quite powerful now that he's copied Netero's abilities...

After personally demonstrating his current speed and strength to Nobunaga, and asking him who was stronger, the "Cat Teacher" or the other man, he...

Although the other party was surprised and hesitated for a moment before saying that they couldn't make a judgment, they still seemed uninterested.

No way...

Nobunaga wasn't interested in anything other than swordsmanship.

Unfortunately... the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva is not the Hundred-Knife Guanyin...

"Don't worry, I'm just temporarily captivated by Cat Master's stunning strike..."

Don't worry about me, just let me catch my breath for a while!

At that moment, Nobunaga spoke.

His eyes were no longer so listless; instead, they held a hint of fighting spirit.

"Ian, I'll need to use the [Gate of Glory] again later. I'll definitely become stronger and then go see Cat Master!"

Hearing his words, Ian felt a little relieved and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, as long as Nobunaga can pull himself together, I'll not only lend you the [Gate of Glory], I'll even keep it with you for safekeeping!"

"Also, that cat... Cat Master..."

Ian hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Next time I go, I'll bring it a few fish. After all, it's a way of showing respect to one's teacher..."

Upon hearing Ian's words, Nobunaga's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically.

Only Ian looked helpless.

I don't know what got into Nobunaga, that he actually took a cat as his teacher.

At the same time.

Yesterday, Mizaistom, who went to Palu's house but did not find Ian and the others, arrived at the Sharku Manor with Palu's guidance.

"Here?"

Standing outside the Sharku Manor, Mizaistom slightly raised his head, glanced at the luxurious decor around him, and frowned.

Even for Nen users, once they become addicted to pleasure, they are prone to going astray and going astray.

Because the vast majority of Nen users do not possess the ability to acquire wealth.

When they desire the resources that wealth can buy, they often take risks or become slaves to money, preying on ordinary people.

Whether through plunder or the use of abilities, in short, all principles are abandoned in order to obtain money.

In Mizaistom's view, a Nen user should have their own original aspirations that they adhere to.

This is the essence of Hunter...

Mizaistom came on a formal visit.

Ian was taken aback when he learned about the visitor from Jorar.

Mizaistom actually found his way here!

No...

It's Mizaistom!

This guy...

He promised to teach them Nen Ability... but it just kept getting windy or rainy...

It's been so many days and there's still no news!

The worst part is they don't even have a way to contact him... I can't find him anywhere...

Ian's face darkened, and he said coldly.

"Let that guy in. I want to see what he has to say!"

In no Kung Fu Hustle at all, the man wearing the Cow Hat was brought before Ian.

"Long time no see, Mizaistom, you've finally deigned to show up..."

Ian pursed his lips, looking at the other person with some displeasure.

Mizaistom had wanted to say something, but upon hearing Ian's words, he found himself at a loss for words, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Being rather tongue-tied, he hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"I've been taking care of Ankeli for a while, and only managed to find time to come yesterday. I'm so sorry I had to break my promise..."

Hearing the other party's words, Ian didn't doubt them. He curled his lip and sneered.

"You two seem quite affectionate, but... you forgot to teach us that while this is a small matter, you don't even pay attention to the Hunter Association's announcements. If the entire Gogar Kingdom were destroyed, you'd still be clueless..."

Upon hearing Ian's words, Mizaistom was truly stunned.

However, after not seeing each other for nearly ten days, how come I have absolutely no idea what the other person is talking about?

Hunter Association Notice?

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Mizaistom quickly logged into his Hunter account on his phone.

A series of coded messages were found displayed above.

His pupils contracted, and he quickly deciphered the contents, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Netero's invitation!?

Oh my god!

Ankeli, what have you done...?

Mizaistom's face turned pale and then red. Ankeli had canceled his account at some point, so he hadn't received any information about the Hunter Association recently.

"Um... Ian, what do you know?"

Soon, Mizaistom realized that since the boy in front of him had reminded him, the other party must know something.

Ian observed the other person's reaction.

I knew it; the other party really knew nothing...

It seemed they really weren't deliberately avoiding them to keep their promise, so he forgave them in his heart, though he said it with a hint of annoyance.

"I do know quite a lot, but I have no obligation to tell you."

Mizaistom was somewhat anxious, after all, the matter involved Netero.

Netero is Mizaistom's idol!

The other party extended a mission invitation to him, and he naturally hoped to be able to help the guild leader!

"I'm truly sorry for what happened before, but I'm willing to make amends. Please tell me what exactly happened in the Gogar Kingdom. Since you know the Hunter Association notified me, you should know more, right?"

It must be said that Mizaistom has an extremely sensitive sense of smell.

Having only met Ian once, and based on some of Ian's unreserved words just now, I quickly deduced Ian's source of information.

"Well, since you seem so anxious, it's not that I can't tell you..."

"However, I have one request: before you begin your mission, please do my companion a favor."

"My companion wants to develop a Nen Ability, but his current knowledge of Nen Ability is quite limited. Therefore, I hope you can share the relevant information with him today..."

"You probably won't refuse, after all, it's a promise you should keep."

Upon hearing Ian's words, Mizaistom hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Smack!"

Ian snapped his fingers and smiled.

"If you're willing, that's fine. I'll give you the information beforehand, but don't even think about going back on your word this time!"

"Otherwise..."

As Ian finished speaking, he took a step forward.

In an instant!

His figure seemed to teleport, and when he took a step, he was already beside Mizaistom.

Mizaistom's pupils contracted!

This is... teleportation!?

No... is it just an illusion caused by the speed?

It's only been a few days, Ian... how did he manage that!?

Ian didn't care about the other person's thoughts. He simply stood beside him, glanced at him sideways, and with a slight smile, continued.

"We're not always this easy to talk to..."

He walked straight ahead and said calmly.

"Come with me. I'll tell you information along the way. In the meantime, you'd better think about how to teach my companions how to construct Nen."
