The girl Shira, holding a book, spoke softly, a gentle smile spreading across her face.

Compared to Sarasa's liveliness and enthusiasm, Shira appeared quieter and more gentle.

These two were the actors Pakunoda had found to help voice the [Cleaning Warriors].

Shira, originally, would have a significant intersection with Kurapika in the future, even being someone who influenced his entire life.

Sarasa, too, was a key figure whose death pushed the troupe led by Chrollo to transform into the world's infamous Phantom Troupe.

More on them later.

What Chrollo had found from Uvogin's territory was a videotape—a hugely popular animation in the outside world, a favorite among children called [Cleaning Squad].

This show had immense popularity worldwide.

However, because it was spoken in a language from some country in the outside world, it was hard to understand using Meteor City's common tongue.

Not to mention the children, who couldn't read or comprehend it, only enjoying the visuals.

And so Chrollo held the thought, "If everyone could understand it, wouldn't they be even happier?"

Thus, he asked Pakunoda to find people who could help with dubbing.

Shira and Sarasa were two very suitable candidates for this.

Both were happy to help with such a task.

They also discussed screening it on the stage of next Sunday's religious gathering, inviting all the children of Meteor City to come watch.

And so, their dubbing efforts quickly got on track.

Especially under Chrollo's efficiency, the script for their dubbing was written in no time.

[Cleaning Warriors] had five main characters, similar to the "Super Sentai" of the tokusatsu genre from Mog's previous life on Blue Star.

Pakunoda, Sarasa, and Shira each voiced three of the warrior protagonists in [Cleaning Warriors].

As for the remaining roles, Chrollo voiced them all.

He stated, "This way, progress will be faster, and the more people involved, the greater the chance of our dubbing activities being exposed."

"Right! Especially, we must never let Uvogin know!!"

Sarasa gave a firm thumbs-up: "That guy's dumb; if people ignore him, he gets angry and makes a fuss, and he talks nonsense."

"Sarasa, you seem to know Uvogin quite well."

During the dubbing, Chrollo asked casually.

"Ah, isn't that common knowledge? Every kid in Meteor City probably knows Uvogin, right?"

"What about Phinks? Do you know what he's been up to lately?"

"Phinks? He's probably with Feitan, right? Those two always move together~~~"

"Hmm, Phinks and Feitan, Uvogin and Machi—they often do things together..."

Chrollo got to the point: "Have they had any new companions join recently?"

"New companions? Companions?"

Sarasa, who was getting into the dubbing mood, paused at the question, then burst into laughter:

"With Uvogin's stubborn and dumb personality, only Machi can tolerate being by his side."

"I did hear about some samurai-looking guy getting along well with Uvogin, but they haven't been together for a while."

"As for Phinks and Feitan, they've always been just the two of them—how could anyone join them?"

"I admit Phinks looks fierce, but he's a good person; Feitan's temper, though, is a bit odd."

"What, has someone been getting close to them lately? Do I need to give a warning?"

Without responding to Sarasa's eager curiosity about who was reckless enough to get involved with Uvogin and Phinks, Chrollo pondered thoughtfully: "Looks like they've only recently started hanging around Uvogin and the others..."

Hmm, Chrollo didn't know every child in Meteor City, but he knew most of them.

As for this person who suddenly appeared beside Uvogin and the others...

"It is a bit strange."

He thought this, then shook his head.

At Pakunoda and Sarasa's call, he joined in the dubbing work.

They were going to surprise all the children of Meteor City next week~!

And with the screening they were dubbing, inviting all the kids of Meteor City to come watch~~~

"Uvogin and that companion of his will probably come too, right~~~"

Chapter 031: I Know You're Anxious, But Don't Rush

"The life energy overflowing from the human body is called [Aura], and the ability to consciously use [Aura] for attack or defense is called [Nen]."

"Everyone has [Aura] within their body; it's just that each person's [amount] differs."

"Freedom to manipulate and enhance one's 'Nen' is called a 'Nen ability,' and those who can discover and utilize it are known as 'Nen users'..."

Mog briefly conveyed the relevant concepts of Nen abilities to the four of them: Phinks, Feitan, Nobunaga, and Machi.

Well, mainly because these four had sincerely expressed their [request] to Mog.

Even someone like Feitan, who rarely says [request], understood that to obtain such power, one had to pay the corresponding price.

Even Nobunaga, after learning of Mog's strange [rule], gladly agreed and sincerely made his [request].

In this regard, Nobunaga was the last to join, and he was also the oldest among them.

So he was the one who best knew how to handle things.

On the other hand, that stubborn guy over there who kept insisting and refusing to relent, after being excluded by Mog, spent quite a while scratching his head in frustration.

He still thought that after Mog revealed the secrets of this power to Machi and the others, he could learn it from them.

But clearly, Uvogin's foolish idea fell flat.

Phinks and Feitan simply ignored him, and Uvogin wasn't about to make a fool of himself.

Nobunaga was now eating out of Mog's hand, firmly standing on Mog's side, which made Uvogin grind his teeth in anger.

As for Machi~~~

"Do you think that since the others won't tell you and Mog hasn't told you, I would tell you under these circumstances?"

She just asked calmly, and Uvogin was left speechless.

"Besides, even if you did know, what could you do about it?"

Machi said lightly: "This power, relying on yourself alone, is completely impossible to master."

"You need help from someone who already possesses this power to obtain it yourself~~~"

"In other words..."

Uvogin's mouth fell open.

"That's right. Other than Mog, no one here can help you."

Machi said to Uvogin very seriously: "So, what you need to do depends entirely on you, Uvogin."

After hearing this from Machi, Uvogin was silent for an entire day.

While the others began to savor Mog's teachings, late at night.

"Excuse me, Mog!!"

On the fourth floor of the [Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box], Uvogin said loudly and seriously to Mog.

"I request you, teach me this power!!"

No hesitation, no embarrassment, no difficulty in speaking.

Just a sincere request made right there.

That was the kind of person Uvogin was—once he made up his mind, he never regretted it, and he would act without hesitation and see it through to the end.

He wasn't like those people who, even after making a decision, still clung to their pride, pretending it wasn't a big deal and laughing it off vaguely.

On important matters like this, Uvogin was straightforward—one was one, two was two—and he wouldn't drop the ball.

"I understand. Keep your voice down!"

Mog's ears were even stinging from Uvogin's loud shout.

"Since you've come personally, I'll definitely teach you."

"But~~~"

Just as Uvogin was about to flash his big grin, Mog quickly spoke up first:

"For now, I can't help you master this power yet."

Uvogin: "???"

"I know you're eager, but don't rush."

Mog waved his hand at Uvogin, whose expression was rapidly changing as if he wanted to say something, signaling him to calm down.

"Your physical condition is still too weak. Once you've trained to become stronger, it won't be too late to master this power."

"The better your physical foundation, the more effortlessly you'll be able to handle this power when the time comes~~~"

Mastering [Nen abilities] has three methods.

One is [innate] talent—these people are often called "geniuses," "rulers," "superhumans," "supers," "immortals," or "extraordinary beings."

The most typical example is the future-born daughter of the Nostra Family, Neon Nostrade.

She was born with the self-awakened Specialization Type Nen ability, [Angel's Auto-Note], allowing her to predict the future.

Uvogin and the others clearly weren't suited for this method.

The second is the most classic and orthodox method: awakening through training, long-term cultivation to comprehend Nen.

Learning Nen generally involves slowly studying under a Nen user, diligently training through meditation and seated contemplation to sense the presence of aura, and then gradually mastering it step by step.
