At once, he controlled his aura and sent it pouring down onto Uvogin!
"This is—"
Uvogin's eyes widened instantly.
He felt waves of powerful strength flowing into his body.
Before he could even worry that his body would be unable to withstand this foreign power invading it—
"Your Aura Nodes have been opened!!"
Morin's reminder rang out beside his ears. "Steady your mind, gather the aura flowing out, and wrap it around your body."
Even without Morin's reminder, Uvogin had already felt something in his body rapidly leaking away.
"How could I possibly let you get away so easily!!!"
Uvogin gritted his teeth and bit down hard.
Boom!
The powerful aura pouring from his body kicked up a small ring of dust across the ground.
Uvogin's body was exceptionally strong, and the aura within him was naturally far more abundant than that of ordinary people.
But unfortunately, Uvogin's will was in no way inferior to that amount of aura.
Whoosh?!
Another gust of wind and dust rose from the ground as Uvogin took a deep breath.
"Done."
Morin clapped his hands and smiled.
Only after hearing those words did Nobunaga dare to come closer.
"Uvogin, how do you feel?!"
"Right now, I feel..."
Uvogin took a breath and looked at his hands.
He could already feel that he was completely different from before!
This feeling of strength continuously surging out from within his body...
"It's better than ever!!"
Uvogin clenched his fist hard, feeling incomparably refreshed!!
"Moving a small amount of aura into your eyes is one of Nen's basic techniques, Gyo. It lets you see how your own and your opponent's aura are being used."
As Morin spoke, Uvogin quickly followed his instructions.
After only a couple of attempts, he smoothly gathered his aura around his eyes as though he had been using it for years.
"So this is aura?"
Looking over his arms and body, Uvogin thoroughly felt himself up and down.
The aura that looked so surging and immense to him immediately filled Uvogin with boundless confidence!!
"I want to fight ten at once!!"
He nearly shouted those words aloud.
However, he forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and instead looked seriously at Morin.
Then, with his rough, large hand, he firmly slapped Morin on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Morin!"
He said it calmly.
Yet the calmer his tone was, the more it contained his blazing sincerity.
After having his Aura Nodes opened, Uvogin truly regarded Morin as one of his own.
Machi and Nobunaga both curled their lips slightly at the sight.
Machi had never had much of an issue with Morin to begin with, while Nobunaga had come to acknowledge Morin because of Uvogin.
Their little three-person team had now gained another member.
"You don't need to be so polite from now on."
Morin patted Uvogin's thick arm as well. "We've got a long road ahead of us."
"Hahaha, you're right! We've got a long road ahead!!"
Thinking about how he would master Nen in the future and then go out into the world to wreak havoc, Uvogin found the thought incredibly thrilling.
He laughed loudly and swung his fists through the air.
He could hardly wait to leave Meteor City and head into the outside world!
"It really does look impressive."
Nobunaga looked Uvogin over from head to toe. He could sense the changes in his friend and his immense joy, and he could not help feeling greatly expectant himself.
"Then the next one is—"
"Open mine!"
Machi jumped down from the hammock and stood before Morin, her clear, calm golden eyes quietly fixed on him.
Nobunaga: "...???"
I was obviously first!!
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But when he thought about how this was Machi's home, and how he had only met Morin through Machi, he reluctantly swallowed his words.
After Machi was done, it would be his turn anyway. There was no need to rush.
Nobunaga could only console himself like that.
"You want to go next?"
Morin smiled. "Get ready. I'm about to send aura into your body... uh."
It had sounded fine when he said it to Uvogin, so why did it suddenly feel a little strange when he was facing Machi?
Morin shook his head, driving those odd thoughts from his mind.
"Here it comes. I'm about to open your Aura Nodes..."
Mm, that somehow sounded even stranger.
Uvogin having his Aura Nodes opened had been his first time in life.
Helping someone open their Aura Nodes was also Morin's first time, though fortunately, he had not messed up before.
And now that he had experience, Morin quickly did it with greater proficiency. Machi also experienced the same sensation as Uvogin, as though she was about to fly into the sky from sheer exhilaration. Yeah, is this really a proper way to open Aura Nodes?
"So this is aura? How amazing?"
With Uvogin's experience as an example, Machi also quickly got the hang of aura.
After learning Gyo, she could clearly see the changes in the aura flowing through her body.
Although her physical condition had not yet reached the best stage for learning Nen, the results seemed pretty good so far?
The two of them played around with the aura that could only be seen using Gyo, as though they were playing with air.
It made Nobunaga beside them so jealous that his teeth nearly ached.
He looked at the two of them enviously, feeling that in only a moment, they had become people from a completely different world.
"Don't forget about me."
He weakly reminded Morin, displaying what little pitiful sense of presence he had.
First, Determine Your Nen Ability Types
"Don't worry, I won't forget you."
Of course Morin would not forget Nobunaga, the future scruffy middle-aged man. He helped him awaken his Nen as well.
Thus, Nobunaga once again entered the same world as Machi and Uvogin. In the future, the three of them could once more hop around and play games together... ahem.
Nen and aura were like new toys, except they came from within themselves. They were the foundation that allowed their bodies to bring them strength and make them powerful.
They could not stop playing with it at all, constantly exploring, researching, and trying to use aura.
"What the—???"
"You two, stop it!!"
Watching the excited Uvogin and Nobunaga test the power of Nen and turn her home into a pitted, crater-filled mess that was nearly collapsing, Machi's face darkened. Under Machi's restraint, the three of them finally settled down and regained some calm.
"Hey, Morin, hurry up and teach us the other ways to use Nen!!"
After learning Nen, Uvogin had begun focusing on techniques for using it.
He was now incredibly eager to raise his strength again and become stronger!!
"There's no rush for that."
Morin took out the Gourmet Tablecloth again. "Before that, I need to determine your Nen ability types."
As he spread out the tablecloth, he explained, "Nen abilities are divided into six major types: Enhancement, Emission, Transmutation, Manipulation, Conjuration, and Specialization."
"Because everyone's aptitude, personality, and environment of growth are different, their types are different as well."
"People can easily develop Nen abilities belonging to their own type, but abilities outside their type are difficult to learn and difficult to train into becoming stronger."
Machi interjected, "In other words, whichever type your Nen belongs to is the type of Nen ability you should train and develop, so that your ability can become strong quickly. Is that right?"
"Exactly."
Morin gave her an approving look.
"And the most commonly used method for determining a person's Nen type is the Hunter Association Mind's Eye Style's Water Divination Method. It is the most accurate and easiest method for judging someone's type."
With a snap of his fingers, another cup filled with water appeared on the tablecloth, with a leaf floating on top.
The way the cup appeared out of thin air once again left Uvogin and the others staring wide-eyed.
But the attentive Machi discovered with Gyo that Morin's aura had dropped ever so slightly.
"That's right. This is my Nen ability."
Meeting Machi's somewhat doubtful gaze, Morin smiled at her.
"Nen abilities are the greatest application of Nen. Once I've determined your types, I'll tell you how to cultivate your own Nen abilities."
Although Morin already knew what types the three of them belonged to from watching the anime, he still had them perform the test themselves.
"Just activate Nen with both hands around the cup."
Uvogin was once again the first to step forward. As soon as he activated Nen, the water in the cup suddenly overflowed.
"This result means Enhancement."
Morin taught, "This type can enhance the original properties of oneself or one's weapons. It is a type that can bring offensive, defensive, healing, and other abilities to the utmost limit. People of this type can infuse Nen into different objects to increase their durability."
"Is that so?"
Uvogin grinned again, clearly very satisfied with the result. "It really suits my style!!"
"Enhancing myself..."
Uvogin clenched his right fist, his eyes seeming to burn with flames.
The second was Machi.
