Machi rolled her eyes.

These two guys were really something else, so rude. They must have eaten a whole herd of pigs to finally stop.

If they hadn't been truly at their limit, they probably would have kept eating.

"This is genuinely delicious."

Nobunaga also looked completely satisfied.

"It's the most flavorful roast suckling pig I've ever had."

Uvogin scoffed, "As if you've had many before." Nobunaga glared at him, "It's precisely because I haven't had many before that it's the most flavorful!

Regardless, Morin's treat this time has completely satisfied them.

"You're quite interesting!"

Uvogin grinned, giving Morin a thumbs-up as he put away the Gourmet Tablecloth.

"I like it."

a

"Can you teach us that kind of power?"

Nobunaga rolled his eyes, "I think you like pigs more."

"Hahaha, it's all the same!"

Uvogin burst out laughing.

His digestive system was incredible; he had felt stuffed just moments ago, but now he could stand up directly.

"Either way, I'm your friend!!"

Uvogin declared, his eyes catching sight of the leftover roast suckling pig on the table, on a plate of the same style as the one Nobunaga had found earlier.

With a rough laugh, he said, "I finally understand why Machi kept you around."

"If it were me, I'd be begging you to stay too."

He smiled, then his expression immediately turned serious.

"Can I ask how you made those roast suckling pigs just now?"

Upon hearing the question, Nobunaga, who had been slouched, also looked up.

"I'm a straightforward person.

If I don't understand something, I want to ask."

Uvogin grinned, "Of course, if it's inconvenient for you to say, it's fine too."

"There's nothing inconvenient about it,"

Morin said with a smile.

He could tell Uvogin was being sincere.

If Morin truly couldn't say, Uvogin wouldn't have pressed further.

Uvogin was indeed a straightforward person, but his directness was only towards those he recognized and considered friends.

In his eyes, Morin was already his friend.

Well, a treat of roast suckling pig had earned him Uvogin's friendship and approval.

From Morin's perspective, this was a deal that definitely didn't lose money.

"The reason I can do this is simply because of Nen abilities."

Nen abilities?

Machi's heart skipped a beat. Morin had mentioned this term again.

As for Uvogin and Nobunaga...

"I feel like I've heard this term somewhere before?"

Uvogin crossed his arms, muttering with a frown.

Nobunaga beside him also pondered, and then.

"Oh, I remember."

Nobunaga suddenly clapped his hands, "I heard Chrollo mention it."

"Chrollo?"

Uvogin suddenly realized, "Right, a couple of days ago he mentioned he got some information from an Elder, and it seemed to include this thing called Nen abilities."

Chrollo? Information from an Elder?

Then it must be the future leader of the Phantom Troupe, Chrollo Lucilfer, Morin thought.

Machi also seemed to understand, clearly she knew Chrollo.

Uvogin turned his gaze to Morin with even greater enthusiasm:

"You understand Nen abilities too, Morin? I heard this is a power only Elders can master."

He looked at Morin intently, "Can you teach us this power?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Uvogin, isn't that a bit sudden!"

Nobunaga chided Uvogin, but his small eyes kept darting towards Morin.

Clearly, he was also very curious and eager about this power.

Not to mention Machi; Morin was already planning to tell her about Nen, but Uvogin and the others interrupted.

"Sure."

Morin said with a smile.

He had intended to teach Machi Nen abilities anyway.

It's the same effort to herd one sheep as it is to herd two; now there are just two more sheep to herd.

Moreover, Uvogin and Nobunaga would both develop strong Nen abilities in the future. Building a good relationship with them now would only be beneficial.

Since they would master Nen eventually, teaching them now would establish him as their teacher, making them feel closer to him.

Morin saw no downside in using the widely known basic knowledge to do Machi, Uvogin, and Nobunaga a favor. If Machi, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others learned Nen abilities and grew stronger, they could at least form a small group within Meteor City.

If any trouble arose, they could tackle it together.

Their safety and survivability would be greatly increased.

Morin was also looking out for his own safety.

But for Uvogin and the others, this was extraordinary.

It's actually possible! !

This mystical power, which even the Elders were reluctant to reveal and kept hidden, Morin was willing to teach them? ! !

Nobunaga was stunned, while Uvogin grinned even wider:

"I knew you were my kind of guy, Morin. From now on, if anyone messes with you, I, Uvogin, will fight them to the death!!"

Although Uvogin said it with a smile, the seriousness in his eyes showed he wasn't joking or being polite.

He, Uvogin, was serious!!

Morin could naturally see that.

If he had a system, he probably would have seen Uvogin's favorability skyrocketing.

"Come, come?"

Uvogin enthusiastically offered a chair, and Nobunaga wiped the dust off it with his sleeve.

"Morin, sit!"

"Now?"

Morin made a rare joke, "Aren't you guys going to the dump to rummage for things? Today's the day the garbage trucks come. How about we do this another day?"

"No way!!"

Nobunaga and Uvogin shouted in unison.

"Let's do it today."

Machi chimed in, wanting to join the fun.

"Alright, cough cough."

Morin cleared his throat.

Uvogin and Nobunaga quickly sat properly on the wooden bed, looking like students ready to listen attentively.

However, as soon as their weight landed on it, the wooden bed creaked under the strain.

Machi sat on her own hammock, ready to listen to Morin.

"First, to learn Nen abilities, you must start by learning Nen."

With all the students seated, Morin's mini-class began.

013 The Power of Nen

"Nen is a power used by those called Hunters or Nen users."

"During training, there are specialized methods that require time and practice, or you can undergo a Nen baptism to learn it forcibly. These are the two methods."

They all listened intently. If they had paper and pens, they probably would have taken them out to take notes.

"The essence of Nen is the ability to manipulate life energy. It's the power to freely control the life energy emitted from within your body, which is called Aura, and use it for attack or defense." Morin said, picking up the sword sheath that Nobunaga had kicked aside on the ground.

"No matter how dull or fragile something is, once it's imbued with Nen, it will become sharper than a blade and harder than a warhammer."

Nen power was infused, and Aura wrapped around the sword sheath.

Morin gently held it and tapped it on the ground.

Despite not using any force, a deep hole was instantly created in the ground.

"I... I..."

o o

Machi, Uvogin, and Nobunaga's pupils contracted.

"This is the power of Nen," Morin said.

Uvogin and Nobunaga exchanged glances, seeing the burning desire in each other's eyes.

Machi, on the other hand, looked at the hole and pouted.

Oh well, since he taught me Nen, I won't ask him for repair fees.

"After comprehending Nen, the training of Nen mainly focuses on four aspects, namely:

U1

The Four Great Principles, which are [Ten], [Zetsu], [Ren], and [Hatsu]. O

"Ten is the concentration of the mind, gazing inward, and calming the emotions. It is a method of mental concentration that stabilizes emotions and is the primary way to train and use Nen."
