And it also included Pakunoda's complete, unconditional trust in Morin!
Biscuit looked at Pakunoda, then at the deep-blue spring water before her.
Then she suddenly smacked her forehead.
"Honestly, the older I get, the more suspicious I become.
"These days, I don't even have as much courage as a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl. That's really rather embarrassing."
She mocked herself, then took the cup from Pakunoda's hand.
"A young girl like you is already youthful and beautiful enough. You don't need to become any younger."
She gave Pakunoda a charming wink and scooped up a full cup of the spring water.
Then she gulped it down.
"It really works!!"
After drinking it, Biscuit delightedly felt the changes in her body.
"My skin! My face! My height! My... Uh, are you all right?"
Biscuit suddenly noticed that Morin's face had turned a little pale and asked with concern.
The Beginning of the Master and Disciple Training Life
Thanks, everyone, for your support during this time. Extra chapter!
Mm, after confirming the spring water's effects,
Biscuit's tone became exceptionally gentle.
This was an important item for restoring her youth!!
"Nothing?"
Morin wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.
"It's just that the aura consumption was a little high."
For an item as extraordinarily effective as the Age Spring Rope, its consumption during use was naturally no small matter.
Just scooping out three cups of spring water had made Morin feel as though his aura reserves were nearly exhausted.
If not for the previous Restraints and Vows, then faced with such terrifying consumption, he probably would not have had enough aura to scoop even a single cup of spring water.
After all, this could already be considered a causality-type item related to reversing the human body and time.
"Just aura consumption..."
Biscuit had thought that using the spring water would require an even greater price.
If it only cost aura, then compared to the effect produced by the item, it was already incredibly cost-effective—practically a huge bargain!!
"Are Specialization-type Nen abilities all this unreasonable?"
Biscuit had encountered quite a few Specialization-type Nen users before. She could clearly tell that their Nen abilities were far more intricate, complex, and unusual than those of ordinary Enhancement- or Emission-type users. But this was the first time she had seen an ability as special as Morin's that did not consume an especially high amount of aura.
On top of that, Morin's ability was not only special—his talent was outstanding, and his personality was also exceptionally suited to surviving in this world.
More importantly, the benefits she had gained from Morin through the Treasure Map Paper and Age Spring Water...
"Ahem."
Biscuit coughed again. "Your ability and Nen are both quite good, but I don't think they're enough yet. They haven't reached a more perfect standard."
She put on the airs of someone intending to "polish a rough jade."
"So, as an outstanding and qualified Hunter, I can't let young people like you stray down the wrong path."
"For the next period of time, I plan to test your mettle."
At that point, she felt that she might have sounded a little too eager to teach Morin, so she hurriedly added haughtily:
"Of course, let me make this clear first. If your foundations are too poor, my attitude might not be very good."
"I understand~"
Having heard the answer he wanted, Morin smiled sincerely.
"Then I'll be relying on your guidance from now on, Master Biscuit."
"Easy, easy. Also, don't call me Master from now on. Don't you think calling someone Master makes them sound old?"
"Then from now on?"
"Just call me by my name. Biscuit. Biscuit Krueger."
"I'm Morin, and this is Pakunoda. She happens to be a Specialization-type user too, so please train her along with me."
"Another Specialization-type little girl?"
Biscuit looked somewhat surprised at the silent Pakunoda.
But whether she herded one sheep or a whole flock, it made no difference. Since she had accepted so many things from Morin, she naturally would not refuse.
Thus, Morin's goal for this trip was successfully achieved!
"Let's go. There happens to be a desert valley outside this small town. There are quite a few fierce beasts there, so it's perfect for training."
"Now?"
Morin was stunned.
"Of course!!"
The one-year-younger Biscuit did not know whether it was merely psychological, but she felt that her legs no longer hurt, her waist no longer ached, and her entire body was brimming with energy.
It was as though she had returned to her youthful state!
"Stop talking nonsense and get moving. Nen ability training requires years of accumulated effort before you can achieve even a little success."
"You're right at the age when you're young and vigorous, so don't even think about slacking off!!"
At Biscuit's forceful insistence, Morin put away all the items, then left the small town with Pakunoda and Biscuit.
Before long, they arrived at the desert valley and began their master-and-disciple training life.
"Your aura wrapping is wrong. You don't use Ken when you should, and you use Ken when you shouldn't! Your judgment is terrible. Again!"
"Your defensive response is wrong. You're too slow and too stiff, with no fluidity at all. If an enemy took the opportunity to attack, you would be injured ten thousand percent of the time."
"Are your reflexes and ligaments broken? I clearly threw that punch at your left shoulder, so why did your right shoulder move?!"
"Are you an idiot or a moron? Besides your eyes, use your ears too! Are the five senses on your face just decorations to make you look prettier?!"
"Mm, you are rather pretty, but compared to my beauty, you're still far behind. Heh heh!!"
"Your body movements are too wide, and you have too many unnecessary motions. Other than making you look barely a little better, they're completely useless. Not only do they waste more stamina, they also throw your body out of coordination."
"I've figured it out. Your reaction speed and execution simply can't synchronize effectively in time. Speed it up! The moment I raise a finger, tell me the number immediately... You were 0.5 seconds too slow. Go do five hundred push-ups!!"
Efficiency Pill
The moment they arrived at the wilderness valley, Biscuit began drilling Morin.
And in less than a day, Biscuit had found dozens of small mistakes in Morin.
In Biscuit's words, these minor mistakes might not seem particularly harmful, but when fighting a true expert, a moment of carelessness could make them the crucial factor in deciding victory or defeat. Morin naturally listened carefully to his expert master's words.
But while identifying those small mistakes, Biscuit also truly felt the exceptional talent within Morin.
This rough gem was like the purest, most beautiful diamond, sparkling with brilliant radiance. It made Biscuit's large eyes shine brightly!!
Talented disciples chose capable masters, and capable masters naturally favored talented disciples.
Biscuit was already rubbing her hands together, fully determined to teach Morin properly.
This was absolutely a rough gem that, once polished, would be capable of astonishing the world in the future!!
Clearly, the talent Morin displayed had truly conquered Biscuit.
After being baptized by transmigration, his talent was stronger than even Gon's and Killua's—a talent picked from tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions.
And Morin was only twelve or thirteen years old. It truly made Biscuit feel as though the future itself rested upon him.
"And with an absurd item like the Age Spring Water, even if he takes the wrong path in his training in the future, he can reduce his age and start over."
"What a terrifying item. What a terrifying kid."
Biscuit watched Morin's back as he trained, silently repeating those words in her heart.
"Looks like I really am getting old."
That thought stirred such emotion in her that she became even stricter in drilling Morin.
And aside from correcting Morin's problems, as night gradually fell, Morin took out the Door of Nothingness and the Canned Goods Studio.
After learning what those items did, especially the time ratio within the Canned Goods Studio, Biscuit became even more enthusiastic about training Morin.
The Door of Nothingness provided them with a completely safe and isolated environment, while the Canned Goods Studio gave them an abundance of time to teach and grow.
"I originally thought it would be enough to teach you Nen ability knowledge, but now I've changed my mind."
Inside the Canned Goods Studio, Biscuit examined Morin with a half-smiling gaze, making him feel slightly uncomfortable.
"There are far too many creatures, ruins, histories, and secret realms in this world. I plan to teach you everything I know and everything I can do!!
"As a qualified Hunter and a strong person, being powerful in Nen ability alone isn't enough. You need to possess other things as well!!"
Biscuit spoke earnestly. "So starting today, you'll study Nen abilities with me in the valley outside during the day, and return to this Canned Goods Studio at night.
"Let me calculate it. The time ratio between the Canned Goods Studio and the outside world is one hour to one day."
"Eight hours at night translate into eight days inside the Canned Goods Studio. First, spend three days systematically summarizing and reviewing the Nen ability knowledge I taught during the day.
"Learn everything about Nen so thoroughly that it's ingrained in you!
"Then spend four days learning about the humanities and history, local customs, Magical Beasts and monsters, secret realms and ruins, plants and poisonous insects, and all sorts of other knowledge across the Six Continents!"
"And leave the final day for resting. Mm, perfect!!"
Biscuit tapped her small hand against her palm, immensely pleased with her arrangement.
Morin: "..."
Good grief, you've arranged every last second of my life.
With the daytime in reality plus the eight days inside the Canned Goods Studio, that made nine days in total, and she only allowed him one day of rest.
And that was only because the Canned Goods Studio had its special time ratio, giving them relatively abundant time.
Although the schedule was packed to the brim, Morin had no objections.
This was all a training plan Biscuit had tailored specifically for him, all for his growth and strength. Of course, he gladly accepted it.
After accepting, he took out a small bottle of yellow pills from the Four-Dimensional Pocket.
"If you're training, you should take these Efficiency Pills too. That'll make it more effective!"
While Biscuit taught him about the Six Continents at night, Morin unhesitatingly tossed one into his mouth.
As his aura reserves suddenly dropped by a huge amount, his learning efficiency increased geometrically!!!
Item: Efficiency Pill.
