Ian... I'll Never Trust You Again...

Ian's new gadget.

It attracted a crowd of onlookers; after all, the strange hat was simply too conspicuous.

Located in the Training Ground.

Ian closed his eyes slightly, and the next second, Uvogin, who had been floating, landed on the ground.

"Hey, Ian, how did you just do that?"

Uvogin rushed to Ian and asked excitedly.

Obviously.

He was very interested in the abilities granted by the Superpower Hat.

Ian smirked, took off his hat, put it on Uvogin's head, and laughed.

"You can try it, concentrate fully, and see if you can make yourself fly..."

Hearing Ian's words.

Uvogin immediately did as he was told.

Result.

"Puff..."

With a long, drawn-out sound, he let out a fart...

"Pfft, haha!"

Nobunaga was standing to the side, burst into laughter, almost laughing himself silly. Machi Elina and the others also laughed until their faces turned red.

Uvogin's face flushed red, but he still tried his best.

Pity.

He has absolutely no talent in this area.

After a long pause, nothing changed.

"Let me try."

Machi, who was standing to the side, rarely spoke up, looking somewhat eager to try.

Ian's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the Superpower Hat off Uvogin's head and gently placed it on Machi's head.

Uvogin looked embarrassed, but he dared not try to take it from Machi.

After Machi put on the Superpower Hat...

Following Ian's instructions, gently close your eyes and concentrate fully.

Then, to everyone's astonishment...

Machi's petite body slowly floated up, which surprised Ian. He hadn't expected Machi to be so outstanding in terms of mental strength.

When she slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the crowd below, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"It took flight so quickly!"

She opened her arms cautiously, like a child who had received a new toy.

Finding that my body was still stable, I became bolder.

"Whoosh--"

The next moment, she took flight rapidly above the Training Ground, like a bird.

"Machi, be careful!"

Ian was sweating profusely and quickly reminded the other person not to hurt themselves accidentally.

Elina was also worried for Machi, feeling a little nervous, but mostly envious.

"Don't worry, I find it very easy to use, not troublesome at all..."

Upon hearing Machi's words, Uvogin looked dejected and his face darkened.

How could this be... how could this be... do I have absolutely no talent...?

At that moment, Machi smiled gently at Ian.

Then, she turned her eyes and beckoned to Ian with her finger. The next second, Ian also floated up and slowly flew towards Machi.

"Hey, be careful..."

Having experienced firsthand the feeling of Uvogin being completely out of his control, Ian chuckled awkwardly and said to Machi.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The next moment.

Then he saw Machi fly to his side, gently take Ian's hand, wink, and say something rather playful.

"What are you worried about, Ian?"

"Um... I'm afraid of heights..."

My hand was held.

Machi's little hands were very warm, Ian felt his face inexplicably hot as well, saying something he didn't mean.

Machi covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"What's the name of this prop?" Machi asked curiously.

"[Superpower Hat], wearing this hat will grant you three superpowers..."

Hearing her question.

Ian quickly suppressed the fleeting feeling of excitement he had just experienced, as if he were back on his own turf, and said with a smirk.

"These are Telekinesis, teleportation, and clairvoyance!"

Upon hearing Ian mention the last ability, Machi's pretty eyes suddenly widened.

"Perspective?"

Ian was explaining the effects of each ability when he heard Machi's words, paused for a moment, and nodded.

"Yeah... it's see-through... hiss!"

He suddenly realized something.

Machi's pretty face was tense, her earlobes slightly red, and her eyes were fixed on Ian, as if she could see right through him.

"I... Ian, have you...?"

"No!"

Ian, driven by a strong will to survive, immediately replied before she could even finish speaking.

"Snort!"

Machi gave a snort, and then said.

"You are not allowed to use this tool carelessly, and you are absolutely forbidden from letting anyone else use it!"

Ian nodded repeatedly, of course he would agree. Seeing Ian's stance, Machi nodded her little head, then gripped his hand tightly and slowly flew down again.

"Hey, Machi, try again! I used the wrong method just now. I'm sure I can do it this time!"

"No!"

Machi's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she calmly refused.

"Why?"

Uvogin was horrified!

Even Machi is jealous of him, afraid that her talent surpasses his?

Machi shook her head and said calmly.

"Because this item has an ability that's unsuitable for everyone, give up on the idea of using it. I've already told Ian that, and even if you pester him for it, it's not going to work!"

Upon hearing her words, Uvogin looked at Ian, Ian shrugged, giving a helpless expression.

Uvogin shook his head.

"Alas... geniuses never get the chance to display their talents..."

Then he walked out dejectedly, his back view showing utter desolation.

Seeing the other person's "dejected" appearance, Ian couldn't bear it and finally called out.

"Um, Uvogin, I can't give you the item this time. I'll wait for next time, next time for sure!!"

Upon hearing this...

Uvogin's ears perked up instantly. He turned around immediately, gave Ian a thumbs-up, and grinned.

"Alright, Ian, you're a true brother, I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Ian shook his head helplessly.

The next day.

Around noon.

Ian was wearing a [Superpower Hat] and was floating cross-legged in the air in a very magical way, looking just like a magician.

It takes practice to master the various superpowers of this item.

Ian focused intently.

I wonder when I'll be able to speak with authority and command respect in public.

Just then...

Uvogin had already appeared below, his face filled with anticipation.

"Ian, it's a brand new day!"

Ian knew what the other person was thinking just by looking at his expression.

But I glanced at the time.

Indeed, it was almost time to sign in and draw items, and then it slowly floated down from the sky.

"You're really impatient! Don't worry, there's bound to be one that suits you!"

Ian smiled, revealing confidence.

Then, he immersed himself in the 4D Pocket to sign in for the day.

Result...

The item you received was a pair of ordinary pink boxing gloves.

Ian held it in his hand, somewhat stunned.

In the Doraemon world, many of the gauntlets have amazing abilities that are very useful, but this particular gadget is definitely not one of them.

"Hey, they're boxing gloves!"

Uvogin's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.

"Although I'm currently practicing absolute defensive techniques, it's not unacceptable to attack occasionally!"

"Let me test the power of this item..."

Ian said somewhat awkwardly.

"Um, forget it, Uvogin, this item is too useless..."

"Let's use it another day, another day!"

Upon hearing this, Uvogin quickly replied.

"It's alright, Ian, how could I not trust your gadgets!"

"Everyone else can't unleash the full potential of these items, but I can perfectly demonstrate the power of yours, Ian!"

Leave it to me!

He grinned, and a glint of light flashed in his canine teeth.

"All right..."

As soon as Ian finished speaking, Uvogin quickly grabbed the boxing gloves and took them out of his hands.

Immediately afterwards!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

Suddenly, Uvogin seemed to lose control, his fists pounding his face incessantly!

"Hey! Stop! Stop right now!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"...

The boxing gloves continued to slam into his face, and because he was wearing them, there was almost no way to dodge them at such close range.

"Ian, what... what's going on?"

"Uvogin said anxiously."

Ian covered his face in exasperation, thinking to himself.

What terrible luck... I really did draw one of the most useless items...

It's called [Fighting Gloves].

As a result, this prop has only one function: once worn, it will relentlessly attack the wearer of the boxing gloves.

It's not even as good as Umbrella That Rains When Opened!

At least.

That umbrella can also leak water indefinitely when it rains...

Ian rescued Uvogin from the boxing gloves, and was somewhat emotional. After one stroke of incredible luck, this time his luck was terrible, and he could only hope for the next time.

He offered words of comfort to Uvogin, who was squatting beside him.

"Uvogin, just bear with it a little longer, tomorrow... definitely tomorrow!"

Uvogin raised his face, which was bruised on the left and swollen on the right, and spoke indistinctly through his swollen mouth.

"Sheen... Zayep believes you..."

Ian was helpless.

At the same time.

Under the arrangement of the Exorcism Team leader Kannari Rin, a Tank Corps was urgently dispatched to the entrance of the Ruins of Gugurian.

As a high-ranking member of the Mito United States, she wields such power.

"Boom--"

The cannons fired into the cave, and a group of Hunters watched from the sidelines.

Yesterday.

Jin stayed in the cave for a full five hours; in fact, all the Hunters, including Exorcism Team, thought he had died inside.

Surprisingly, Jin emerged from the cave completely unharmed.

Only.

They also brought back some unfortunate news.

Deep within the Ruins, an even greater trouble arose.

Besides the monsters, numerous crystals emanating eerie Malice appeared on the inner walls.

These crystals are feeding back into the Black Talisman Insects on the monsters.

And...

When approaching these crystals.

The Nen fluctuations on the Hunter's body will be blocked. In other words, apart from the Black Talisman Insects that can infect Nen users, even if they go inside, once they get close to those Malice Crystals, their Nen Abilities are very likely to suddenly short-circuit!

How are we supposed to handle this!?

Upon hearing this...

The Hunters stared at Jin as if they'd seen a ghost.

Seriously... you even managed to find out this kind of information!

Excuse me... how did you manage to come back alive!?

Jin did not answer, his expression grave; the situation had developed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Egina...

Things are getting complicated...

These Malice Crystals naturally become obstacles for Nen users, and a way must be found to remove them.

At that moment, Kim thought of Ian.

That guy... might have some weird gadgets that can counteract these things.
