Wisdom in Battle

"How was it, Zushi? Did you see everything?"

When Allen's match with Goz had completely ended and the spectators in the stands began to leave, Wing finally spoke to the disciple seated beside him.

Zushi hurriedly nodded seriously. "Yes, Master Wing! I saw it! He really is so strong! When he fought me, he probably didn't even use ten percent of his strength!"

"Then did you see clearly the abilities he used during the battle?" Wing asked again.

"Hmm! He used aura to enhance the weapon in his hand!" Zushi answered without hesitation.

"What else?" Wing was clearly dissatisfied with that answer.

"What else? Do you mean that dragon-like Nen Beast?" There was a trace of uncertainty in Zushi's voice.

"No! I mean the sword in his hand! Do you think it was materialized through Nen abilities, or did it already exist and get summoned through another kind of Nen ability?"

As he said this, Wing turned around and fixed the boy beside him with an exceptionally sharp gaze.

Clearly, he had used Gyo throughout the entire battle, so he had seen plainly that there had been no trace of aura activation when the DK Sword appeared. He intended to take this opportunity to teach his disciple a lesson.

But for Zushi, who had only recently come into contact with Nen abilities, this was clearly beyond his capabilities. He furrowed his brows tightly and pondered for a long time before finally shaking his head with a pained expression. "Sorry, Master Wing. I don't know."

Upon hearing that, a faint smile immediately appeared on Wing's face. He gently stroked his disciple's head and said, "Look, this is the greatest difference between you and that boy named Allen. It isn't merely things that can be easily quantified, like strength, agility, physique, or aura capacity. It is the wisdom displayed in battle. He has already learned how to mislead others and conceal his true abilities. That sword was not materialized. It was summoned through another power that no one knows about."

"Battle... wisdom?" This was undoubtedly the first time Zushi had heard this unfamiliar term.

"That's right! Wisdom in battle! You must understand that in the world of Nen, everyone's abilities are different. You could even say they are endlessly varied. When two sides are evenly matched, yet neither knows the other's Nen abilities, who do you think has better winning odds?" Wing posed a hypothetical question.

"Is it... the one with more experience?" Zushi blinked in confusion.

After all, the question was simply too complicated and difficult for someone not yet twelve years old.

Wing smiled without confirming or denying it. "Experience is indeed an important part of it. But in battles between Nen users, experience actually does not help very much, especially when you know absolutely nothing about your opponent's abilities. At times like that, whoever better understands how to deceive their opponent and hide their own abilities will firmly seize the initiative. So I will teach you one key point now: never casually expose your trump card during battle."

"Understood! From now on, I'll work desperately hard with Allen as my goal!" Zushi shouted energetically.

"Hahahaha! That's the spirit! Come on, let's go back and double today's training!" Wing said, rising to his feet with a hearty laugh.

"Eh? D-double it?!"

A look of shock and despair instantly appeared on Zushi's face. The way he looked at Wing was as though he were looking at a demon.

Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Allen used the Red Dragon to forge an unbreakable contract with Bodrō. Then he raised his head and asked seriously, "Are you ready?"

"Of course! My fists have been itching for a fight!" the Martial Artist replied excitedly.

"Very good! Then... Teleportation!"

The moment his words fell!

The two vanished from where they stood in an instant, then abruptly reappeared in a place that resembled a medieval courtyard.

Dungeon: Scarlet Monastery - Library

Looking at the incredibly lifelike buildings, furnishings, and the living people in the distance, Bodrō could not help crying out, "Unbelievable! Th-this was created by Nen abilities too? Nen really is an unimaginably miraculous and incredible power!"

"Remember! You absolutely cannot reveal a single word about this to anyone, or the Red Dragon will devour you immediately," Allen reminded him tirelessly once again.

As for bringing others into the Dungeon, he had considered it for a long time before ultimately deciding to trust the character of the Martial Artist before him.

After all, the other man had entrusted even his life to him. In return, it was only natural to share this training holy ground, which was practically cheating.

Otherwise, given the rate at which Allen's strength was currently growing, no matter how hard Bodrō worked, he would never be able to keep up. He would only gradually lose his motivation to move forward amid constant frustration.

"Understood! Please rest assured, I will keep this secret even if I die. Now, may I begin fighting those enemies?"

Straightforward as ever, Bodrō gave his assurance without a second thought. At the same time, he turned his gaze toward the Scarlet Monastery elites in the distance, and his entire body became exceptionally fired up.

"Go! Remember to be careful. If you encounter danger, run toward the entrance as fast as you can. I'll be here to support you."

After saying that, Allen no longer paid attention to Bodrō. Instead, he used the Red Dragon's power to summon Goz's Nen ability—"Invisible Left Wrist"—and planned to use it as a foundation for deeper development.

In his view, this ability was truly a sharp weapon that combined offense and defense in the truest sense. It even possessed powerful control properties.

Especially after Goz reinforced it with Restraints and Vows at the end, it had gained the trait of Teleportation. The next step was to combine it with both Materialization and Enhancement, turning the originally invisible hand into one that could be seen, thereby greatly increasing its power and destructive power.

On the other side, having received permission, Bodrō let out a loud shout and charged straight at the nearest enemy, beginning his practical combat training.

Although he had not yet learned advanced techniques such as Ken and Ko to increase his attack power, relying on the body tempered through countless trials as a Martial Artist, he cleared out several waves of enemies at the entrance in no time and officially entered the courtyard within.

It has to be said, Enhancement types truly possessed exceptional natural advantages in certain aspects. With only a little training, they could immediately unleash considerable combat strength.

Very quickly, after gaining an understanding of both the enemies and his own strength, Bodrō was no longer satisfied with fighting only two or three opponents at a time. Instead, he began drawing in whole groups to train his reaction speed and evasive ability.

For a time, the entire Scarlet Monastery - Library echoed with the shouts he made as he threw his punches.

There was no helping it. That was simply the nature of Enhancement types.

They did not care at all about things like embarrassment. They did whatever made them feel physically and mentally at ease, and some would even loudly shout the names of their Moves during battle.

Perhaps that could also be categorized as a kind of Restraints and Vows, increasing the power of a "finishing move" by shouting its name and gathering aura.

Amid such immersive and incomparably realistic battles, Bodrō's understanding of Nen grew deeper and deeper. In the end, under the threat of the BOSS's magical attacks, he unconsciously used part of the techniques of Ken and Ko, ultimately clearing Scarlet Monastery - Library successfully.
