And it also encompassed Pakunoda's complete trust in Morin!

Biscuit looked at Pakunoda, then at the deep blue spring water in front of her.

Suddenly, she slapped her forehead with her hand:

"Honestly, the older I get, the more suspicious I become.

"My willpower now is actually inferior to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. It's quite embarrassing."

She said self-deprecatingly, then took the cup from Pakunoda's hand.

"A young girl like you is already youthful and beautiful enough, you don't need to get any younger.

She gave Pakunoda a charming wink and scooped a full cup of the spring water.

She drank it down in gulps.

"It actually works!!"

After drinking, Biscuit was pleasantly surprised by the changes in her body.

"My skin! My face! My height! My... uh, are you okay?"

Biscuit suddenly noticed Morin's pale complexion and kindly asked.

057 The Master-Disciple Training Begins [Thank you all for your support during this time, an extra chapter!]

Well, after confirming the spring water's effect, Biscuit's tone was exceptionally gentle.

This was an important item for restoring her youth!!

"It's nothing?"

Morin wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.

"It's just that the expenditure of Aura was a bit high."

Items with such remarkable effects as the Age Spring Water don't come without a significant cost to use.

Just scooping three cups of spring water made Morin feel like his aura capacity was completely depleted.

If it weren't for the previous Restraints and Vows, facing such a terrifying expenditure, he probably wouldn't have been able to scoop even one cup of spring water.

After all, this could be considered a causality-altering item related to reversing the human body and time.

"Just the expenditure of Aura..."

Biscuit had thought that using this spring water would require a greater price.

If it was just Aura, compared to the effects produced by the item, it was already quite a good value for money, even a huge profit!!

"Are Specialist Nen abilities always this unreasonable?"

Biscuit had encountered many Specialist Nen users before, and she could clearly feel that their Nen abilities were much more intricate, complex, and special compared to ordinary Enhancers or Emitters. However, she had never seen one as special as Morin, whose consumption wasn't particularly high.

Furthermore, Morin not only had a special ability but also exceptional talent, and his personality was very much in line with the survival standards of this world.

More importantly, the benefits she had gained from Morin through the Treasure Hunting Paper and the Age Spring Water...

"Cough, cough."

Biscuit coughed again. "Your ability and Nen are very good, but I don't think it's enough, not up to a more perfect standard."

She put on a pretense of wanting to "polish a rough gem."

"Therefore, as an excellent and qualified Hunter, I cannot let young people like you go astray."

"For the next period, I plan to test your quality."

Having said that, she felt she might be coming on too strong in offering to teach Morin, so she quickly added with a touch of tsundere pride:

"Of course, I'm stating my terms upfront. If your quality turns out to be very poor, my attitude might be quite unpleasant."

"I know~"

Hearing the answer she was satisfied with, Morin also showed a heartfelt smile.

"Then, from now on, I'll need your guidance, Master Biscuit."

"Happy to oblige. Also, don't call me Master from now on. Don't you think calling someone Master makes people sound old?"

"Then, from now on?"

"Just call me by my name, Biscuit, Bisky Cruger."

"I'm Morin, and this is Pakunoda. She happens to be a Specialist as well, so I'll trouble you to train her too."

"Another young girl who's a Specialist?"

Biscuit looked at Pakunoda, who had been silent, with some surprise.

However, whether it was one sheep or a flock, she had already taken so much from Morin that she naturally wouldn't refuse.

So, Morin's purpose for this trip was completely fulfilled!

"Let's go. Just outside this town, there's a desert valley with quite a few ferocious beasts. It's a perfect place for training."

"Now?"

Morin was stunned.

"Let's go!"

—I /1\ o o

Biscuit, who was a year younger, didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt her legs didn't hurt anymore, her back wasn't stiff, and she was filled with energy.

It was like returning to her youthful state!

"Stop wasting time and let's go. Nen ability training requires years of accumulation to even have a chance of achieving minor success."

"You're in the prime of your youth, so don't even think about slacking off!!"

Under Biscuit's strong insistence, Morin put away all his gadgets and, along with Pakunoda, the three of them left the small town.

Soon, they arrived at the desert valley and began their master-disciple training.

"Your aura control is wrong. You're not using Ken when you should be, and you're using Ken when you shouldn't be! This is a failure of your judgment. Start over!"

"Your self-defense reaction is wrong. It's too slow and too stiff, lacking any fluidity. If an enemy seized the opportunity to attack, you'd be injured 100% of the time."

"Are your reflexes and ligaments broken? I clearly aimed that punch at your left shoulder, so why did your right shoulder move?!"

"Are you an idiot or a fool? Besides your eyes, use your ears too! Are the five senses on your face just for decoration to make you look good?!"

"Hmm, you do look pretty good, but you're still far from my beauty, hmph!"

"Your body's swing is too large, with too many unnecessary movements. Besides looking somewhat decent, it's completely useless. It wastes more stamina and makes your body uncoordinated."

"I've figured it out. Your reaction speed and execution ability aren't synchronized effectively. Speed up! As soon as I extend my finger, you have to tell me the number immediately... You're 0.5 seconds late, so go do 500 push-ups!!"

05[Efficiency Pill]

As soon as they arrived at the wilderness valley, Biscuit started drilling Morin.

In less than a day, Biscuit found dozens of minor errors in Morin.

In Biscuit's words, these minor errors might not seem very harmful, but when fighting against a true master, a moment's carelessness can be the deciding factor between victory and defeat. As his master, Morin naturally listened carefully to the expert.

However, while identifying these minor errors, Biscuit also genuinely felt Morin's exceptional talent.

This raw talent, like the purest, most beautiful, and dazzling diamond, made Biscuit's big eyes sparkle!

Talented disciples choose capable masters, and capable masters naturally favor talented disciples.

Now, Biscuit was rubbing her hands together, completely determined to thoroughly train Morin.

This was definitely a raw gem that, once polished, would be capable of astonishing the world in the future!!

Clearly, the talent Morin displayed had conquered Biscuit.

His talent, after crossing over and undergoing this baptism, was even stronger than Gon's and Killua's, a talent chosen from tens of millions, almost one in a hundred million.

Furthermore, Morin was only twelve or thirteen years old. It was truly something that made Biscuit feel as if the future lay entirely with Morin.

"And with a monstrous item like the [Age Spring Water], even if his future training direction goes wrong, he can simply lower his age and start over."

"Truly a terrifying item, a terrifying guy."

Biscuit watched Morin's training silhouette and silently thought to herself:

"It seems I'm really getting old."

This thought even led her to become even more rigorous in training Morin.

Besides correcting Morin's problems, as night gradually fell, Morin took out the Door of Nothingness and Canned Goods Studio.

After understanding the effects of these items, especially the time ratio within the Canned Goods Studio, Biscuit became even more enthusiastic about training Morin.

The Door of Nothingness meant they had a completely safe, independent environment, while the Canned Goods Studio provided them with an incredibly ample amount of time for teaching and growth.

"I originally thought teaching you Nen ability knowledge would be enough, but now, I've changed my mind."

Inside the Canned Goods Studio, Biscuit looked Morin up and down with a half-smile, making him slightly uncomfortable.

"In this world, there are too many creatures, ruins, histories, and secret realms. I plan to pass on everything I know and can do to you!!"

"As a qualified Hunter and a strong individual, you need to be powerful in Nen abilities, but you also need to possess other things!!"

Biscuit said earnestly, "So starting today, you'll study Nen abilities with me in the valley during the day, and at night, you'll return to this Canned Goods Studio."

"Let me calculate. The time ratio between the Canned Goods Studio and the outside world is one hour to one day."

"Eight hours at night translates to eight days in the Canned Goods Studio. You'll spend three days summarizing and reviewing the Nen ability knowledge I taught during the day, and thoroughly master the knowledge of Nen!"

"Then, use

for the land's history, culture, customs, magical beasts, monsters, secret realms, ruins, poisonous plants, insects, and all sorts of other knowledge!

"Finally, I'll leave you one day to rest. Hmm, perfect!"

Biscuit looked at her palm, quite pleased with her arrangements.

Morin: "..."

Well, she's certainly laid out a clear plan for me.

So, with the daytime in the real world plus eight days in the Canned Goods Studio, that's a total of nine days, with only one day for rest.

This was only possible because the Canned Goods Studio had a special time ratio, giving him plenty of time.

Even though the schedule was packed, Morin had no complaints.

These were all personalized training plans Biscuit had made for him, all for his own growth and to become stronger, so he gladly accepted.

After accepting, he then took out a small bottle of yellow pills from his Four-Dimensional Pocket.

"For training, you should take these [Efficiency Pills] along with it to make it more effective!"

When Biscuit taught him about the six continents at night, Morin unhesitatingly popped one into his mouth.

As his aura capacity plummeted, his learning efficiency increased exponentially!

Item: Efficiency Pill.
