I Set Off Two of Them Myself. How Could I Not Know?
After exchanging polite greetings, the two sides...
They both had some doubts. Ian was curious whether the child King was having was actually Gon, and he didn't know when it would be born.
Jin was somewhat curious about how Sashado was doing.
Although he believed that Sashado could not have died as easily as the television broadcast, he had not obtained any information about him.
Therefore, we hope to get the answer from Ian was present at the time.
Then...
After exchanging pleasantries, both parties spoke at the same time.
Have you chosen a name for the child yet?
"Was Sashado really eliminated?"
The two spoke at the same time, and both were taken aback for a moment.
Seeing this, Egina smiled and winked.
Ian and Kim both raised their eyebrows at the same time.
You have so many questions!
You care about so many things!
The two spoke in unison again.
"Pfft..."
Egina couldn't help but cover her mouth slightly, and burst out laughing at the way Ian and Kim were staring at each other.
"It would be better if you two took turns explaining..."
Egina chuckled softly.
"You go first, Jin!"
"You go first, Ian!"
Ian and Kim spoke at the same time, then their eyes glared at each other, as if electricity was flashing between them, while Egina stood by, looking rather unperturbed.
"Let's decide the winner by playing rock-paper-scissors!" Jin said earnestly.
Ian gave a cold laugh.
"You think I'd lose to you?!"
Then the two stared at each other, and began playing rock-paper-scissors at breakneck speed.
The hands of both men were so powerful that they almost became afterimages when they threw punches!
Within a second, they threw dozens of rounds of rock-paper-scissors, constantly adjusting their moves based on the opponent's punching trajectory with each throw.
This dazzling scene left Younian, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.
Even Elena, a Nen user with considerable skill, had sweat beading on her forehead. She tried her best to observe the two's actions with her beautiful eyes, but to no avail.
He couldn't help but sigh deeply, marveling at the immense strength of the two people before him.
On the other hand, Egina seemed quite composed.
Knowing that she was just an ordinary person, she wasn't too surprised no matter what happened between them, since the person she knew, Kim, was an incredible Nen Ability powerhouse.
The person in front of him, Ian, was someone even King couldn't help but admire.
It's normal that the meeting between the two parties was somewhat unusual.
Finally, after guessing the same number of punches nearly a hundred times in a few seconds, Ian was slightly outmatched. He made a careless mistake and was knocked out by King's punch.
We won!!
Jin exclaimed excitedly, his God and his expression radiant. He clenched his fist tightly and shouted with excitement!
Those who don't know him would think he had won a world championship.
Even... Egina, who was standing to the side, rarely saw Kim like this.
For Jin, all kinds of games are interesting, and the competition in games is the source of his excitement.
Unfortunately.
At his level of skill, there are fewer and fewer opponents in the game who can match him.
If I had to name one, Mr. Netero would be one.
After all, even among Nen Ability masters, not many people enjoy playing games.
Ian stared intently at his scissor-hand gesture, a hint of regret in his eyes, and sighed softly.
"I lost the game by one move..."
Jin, standing to the side, waved his hand, somewhat smugly.
"That's not bad. I didn't expect you to have reached this level of strength even without relying on Grandpa Netero's power. Of course, I'm still a cut above..."
Hearing this, Ian's face darkened even more, and he said in a low voice.
"Who told you I didn't borrow Netero's power...?"
Upon hearing Ian's words, Kim's eyes widened, and then he burst into laughter, pointing directly at Ian.
"Ian, you can't slack off during training, you have to be serious and give it your all, hahaha..."
Ian also looked annoyed.
He never expected that he, who regularly used the [Time Cloth] to rewind his physical state and maintain the state he was in when he borrowed Netero's ability, would actually lose to this guy Kim in a rock-paper-scissors match.
Indeed... in many cases, strength is only truly useful when it is acquired through personal training and gradual mastery.
In particular, the mental focus and control of strength required for details like rock-paper-scissors.
He possesses Netero's strength and experience.
Against ordinary Nen users, he is naturally invincible and can easily defeat them.
However, he was somewhat outmatched when facing Nen user with such high talent as King, especially since he was using Netero's [Performance-Enhancing Liquid] in this state.
The true power that Netero unleashed was probably less than 30% of what he actually possessed.
Although Egina, who was standing to the side, was unaware of what had happened.
But seeing how the two of them interacted, she began to understand why Jin had said those things.
The boy in front of me is truly like gold; he is an extremely pure child.
Ian accepted his defeat calmly after making the decision.
I'll beat you sooner or later!
"Then I'll be merciful and tell you what you're curious about. Sashado is naturally not dead. V5's worldwide broadcast didn't mention it. I don't know if they're feeling guilty."
"That unit that V5 sent out, they were probably all slaughtered by that Sashado guy..."
Upon hearing what Ian said, everyone present perked up their ears.
After all, this was the firsthand account of the events from the very person who was on that horrific battlefield. People are naturally curious, so everyone wanted to hear what had happened.
"Just as I thought, it seems V5 is in trouble..."
Jin's expression turned slightly serious.
Ian pursed his lips.
"Whether it's troublesome or not, I don't know, but anyway... the Rose Bombs detonated again on that battlefield, but in my opinion, Sashado is still fine."
"Rose Bomb?"
Jin was also somewhat surprised. It wasn't that he hadn't expected V5 to use such a weapon, but he hadn't expected it to be able to successfully detonate near that monster.
However, considering that the unit Ian mentioned had all perished there, it becomes understandable.
As for Egina, Younian, and the others who were listening to Ian's words, they were slightly taken aback, and then their expressions turned somewhat surprised.
They hadn't even considered it.
On that battlefield, the previously banned weapon, the "Rose Bomb," was used again.
Egina simply couldn't imagine it.
You should know...
This weapon has disappeared from public view for over a decade...
People of this era seem to have forgotten the cruelty of war. Younian, however, looked rather pale. He had lived through wartime as a child and naturally had a vivid memory of the power of the Rose Bomb.
It was precisely because of the devastating consequences of the war that the V5s reached an agreement.
The use of this low-cost, easily manufactured, and extremely destructive weapon should be banned worldwide.
Kim, however, was curious about Ian's last sentence and couldn't help but ask.
"How do you know that monster Sashado survived the Rose Bomb attack?"
Ian glanced at him and said irritably.
"I detonated two bombs of similar size near him, and he's still alive and well in Peji City. How could I not know!"
Upon hearing Ian's words...
Whether it was Younian, Elena, or Egina beside the golden statue, they all stared wide-eyed, somewhat shocked, at the sunny and bright young man before them.
