Using Mu Jin to Illustrate People X What Kind of Mu Jin Are You?

The Nosra Manor Indoor Training Dojo is a spacious indoor training dojo, resembling a medium-sized indoor gymnasium.

In reality, the two may be quite similar in essence.

This is a two-story building located within the Manor, adjacent to a grove of trees.

After all, the so-called Manor is a vast regional building complex, located in a private, small forest adjacent to the city.

The building is oval-shaped and lies quietly on the ground.

If it were located in a city, it would be a standard small stadium, but now that it's built within the Nosra Manor, it has become a private, exclusive venue.

For the Nosra Manor, building such a place was not difficult, after all, they were the underground kings of this city.

Moreover, they are now gradually moving into the public eye, trying to wash away the filth on their bodies.

The company has been established, and although the drugs have not yet been fully rolled out for sale, their position remains rock solid.

Unshakeable.

This two-story training dojo has a lower level for combat and various training areas requiring open space, while the upper level is equipped with a wide variety of training equipment designed to help people enhance their abilities.

This building was constructed intensively over the past few months following Kevin's collaboration with Light, and it was officially put into use at the beginning of this month.

At this moment, inside the training ground, the three members of the Kurta Clan, Nion, and Kevin were all training.

"That's amazing! When will I be able to reach that level?"

Kurapika, who was resting, sat on a bench and looked at Kevin, who stood tall and straight in the center of the field, and couldn't help but sigh.

Since they "Initiation," their eyes have been able to clearly see the presence of Qi.

From then on, the world seemed to have gained many different colors in their eyes.

Just like Kevin, who is exercising right now, he is doing the most basic "training" to unleash the energy within his body.

Maintaining this state of extreme burst can effectively train the body's Qi, making it increasingly abundant.

It can also significantly increase both potential and apparent energy levels, both of which are important indicators in combat.

As for the control of Qi, Kevin is exceptionally gifted, possessing a high degree of innate control, requiring no extra effort.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Kevin at this moment was like Demi-human from an anime, with his aura rising like a blazing flame.

Hearing Kurapika's envious words, Pairo rolled his eyes. "No chance. Teacher Biscuit said that Uncle Kevin's basic abilities are growing at an incomprehensible rate."

He then emphasized, "Biscuit is Yungu's mentor, and also Uncle Kevin's mentor. She must be very capable."

Upon hearing this, Kurapika's expression turned slightly strange, and he couldn't help but say, "But Biscuit- sensei doesn't look much older than us, about the same age as Nion."

Pairo pursed his lips, instinctively glancing around before remembering that Biscuit had already left.

He lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard from Teacher Yungu that Teacher Biscuit is over fifty years old."

Her current appearance is definitely a result of Nen ability; she's just a con artist who loves to act young and has a terrible personality.

"Oh? She's that old already? Then we should call her Grandma."

"Go ahead and yell if you dare," Pairo said nonchalantly.

He would be overjoyed if anyone dared to shout.

Kurapika wasn't stupid; he gave an awkward laugh and waved his hand, indicating he didn't have the guts.

He wasn't unaware of Biscuit's somewhat wicked nature; she loved to tease them, the children, from time to time.

He was relatively lucky; Pairo had been tricked by Biscuit quite a bit recently, which is why he said Biscuit had a bad personality. This was actually related to Biscuit's personality.

With Kurapika's current innocent demeanor, Biscuit would get bored after teasing him for a couple of minutes, finding it too dull.

But children like Pairo, who act like little adults and have mature thinking beyond their years, are Biscuit's favorite "entertainment targets."

It's more fun for her to tease a child like that.

Therefore, for a while, Pairo became Biscuit's source of entertainment in her spare time.

Whether Pairo himself is willing or not, that remains to be seen.

"Biscuit is really amazing! Don't you dare say anything bad about her, or I'll call her and tell her."

Nion, who was sitting next to Kurapika, suddenly spoke up.

Pairo rolled his eyes in exasperation.

I won't stoop to her level.

He casually added, "I was just talking about her personality, not her abilities."

She's definitely amazing; you don't even need to tell me.

"Hmph!" Nion snorted softly, tilted her head back, and then affectionately took Kurapika's arm.

She whispered, "Let me tell you, Biscuit is Gem Hunter, she's amazing! She has so many beautiful gems!"

As she spoke, Nion's eyes sparkled with excitement; what girl could resist the allure of a beautiful, glittering gemstone?

Kurapika and Pairo didn't really know this, and Pairo curiously leaned over to listen.

"The Hunter x Hunter is truly amazing."

Kurapika said with a longing look on his face.

They knew that Kevin had left to take the Hunter Exam, and they had even gathered a lot of information about it online.

He was well aware of just how difficult the Hunter Exam was.

And those incredibly powerful privileges—just thinking about them makes you realize how amazing they are.

"Gem Hunter? Are they people who collect gems?" Pairo asked curiously.

He doesn't know much about this.

Nion nodded.

Although Pairo didn't say it, he secretly found the whole thing a bit boring.

What's the point of collecting these? Just buy them directly.

It's pretty good but useless, and it's very expensive.

Pairo adhered to a certain degree of pragmatism.

"She said Uncle Kevin is like Jadeite," Nion shared with her two friends with great interest.

During this time, Biscuit's favorite child was Nion, and she took her out for walks around the Manor and even the streets every day.

They really enjoy dressing each other up and go shopping every day.

On the surface, they seem like friends of the same age, but Biscuit's mental age is already over fifty, a time when women are overflowing with maternal instincts.

It was exactly the kind of companionship Nion had always longed for.

In just a few days, Biscuit almost replaced Nion as her mother.

Nion lost her mother at a young age, and her father doted on her. In addition, due to the nature of her father's work, she had almost no friends of her own age.

Even if she has friends, they treat her with utmost respect.

Therefore, Kurapika and his companion's arrival made her very happy.

Biscuit's appearance brought her even greater joy.

Biscuit also liked the child very much, so she took him with her every day.

When Biscuit left, she made sure to tell Nion beforehand, and then quietly left one morning when Nion was fast asleep.

Otherwise, Nion would definitely start crying and fussing again.

Biscuit is a very emotional person, and she can't stand this kind of situation.

"Jadeite?"

What is that?

Although Pairo reads a lot of books, he has no interest in this kind of thing and has no idea what Jadeite is.

"I think I've seen it in a book before. It's a very expensive gemstone," Kurapika scratched his head, trying to remember.

Nion nodded. "It's a very precious jade. In some ancient countries with a long history, it's even called the king of jade."

"It is said that this Rock is often used as a metaphor for a person's moral character, encompassing the wisdom, benevolence, righteousness, courage, and purity of jade, symbolizing a person's integrity, tolerance, and self-cultivation."

"Furthermore, it requires a very complex process to make it into an expensive piece of jewelry."

The two listened intently to Nion's story.

With their intelligence, they instantly understood that Biscuit seemed to be using her own perspective and experience to "compare people with stones." Kevin had done them a great favor, so they were eager to learn more about this uncle.

Then a one-to-one correspondence is performed.

Seeing the two of them listening intently, Nion got even more excited.

They can't compete with each other in training or studies, but now is a great opportunity to surpass the other two.

"Jadeite is usually hidden inside large Rock, making it difficult to see from the outside. It must be cut open to reveal the Jadeite inside."

"Even after cutting it open, it's not enough; it also needs to be carved and polished, and the carving process must be tailored to the individual piece."

"What's the meaning?"

Kurapika's timely question was a brilliant comeback.

"I've looked up information online and seen a lot of pictures; it's really beautiful."

"After jade is mined and cut, it has different colors of "jade" and "emerald", with different shades.

They also blend together and have clear, natural textures; they're not just simple colors.

"Skilled sculptors will create different works based on these colors to fully showcase the artistic conception that these different colors and textures can express."

"Moreover, it is said that Jadeite is prone to having impurities and cracks, but for top carvers, these impurities and cracks can actually bring out a unique beauty."

Biscuit was brimming with pride when she said those words, because she was such a top-notch sculptor.

As she spoke, Nion deliberately twisted her waist, and the two then noticed that a flat, round jade stone with a green hue and a hint of white was hanging from the belt under her lining, with a red tassel at the end.

"Is this Jadeite?" Pairo pressed.

Nion nodded proudly. "This was a gift from Biscuit; she carved it herself."

This is her current favorite item; she wears it with her every day.

The jade was carved with a bird they couldn't name, with long, beautiful tail feathers.

"So this is Jadeite."

Kurapika looked like he had just found out.

As he spoke, he also pulled out a similar Jadeite ornament from his inner pocket.

Her appearance is exactly the same as Nion's.

"Ours are the same!" Nion excitedly hugged Kurapika's arm.

Although she didn't know why she was happy, she was just happy to see that the two of them had the same thing.

However, Kurapika's Jadeite ornament is not carved with a bird, but with a long, narrow animal.

"I know this. It's a totem, I think it's called a dragon," Pairo said directly.

"A dragon?" Nion asked.

Whenever she thinks of dragons, she pictures an evil dragon that abducts a princess.

Pairo shook his head. "No, it's a dragon, not a giant dragon or an evil dragon."

At this moment, Kevin was standing in the center of the dojo, maintained his explosive energy state, but his perception of the surrounding movements remained unchanged.

I could clearly hear the conversation between the three children.

He rolled his eyes inwardly in exasperation.

Biscuit, that guy, how could he not understand the purpose of giving these two things? It's just to force a romantic pairing.

Kevin had to admit they were quite apt and evoked a sense of nostalgia in him.

At this moment, Pairo fell into deep thought.

The conversation between his two friends made him uneasy.

Without a doubt, both of their Gift were from Biscuit.

Now that they both have it, guess who doesn't?

He wasn't so much interested in the Gift Biscuit gave him; it was mainly because Jadeite used jade as a metaphor Biscuit Kevin, which made him want one too.

Damn it, that vengeful old woman.

I'll buy one myself later.

"Biscuit said you're like Blood Diamond," Nion said, looking at Kurapika.

Let's continue with the previous topic.

Upon hearing yet another "using stone as a metaphor for a person," and this time it was Kurapika, Pairo immediately perked up his ears, his attention instantly drawn to it.

If it's a metaphor for one's own brother, then he should listen carefully, since Biscuit must be quite formidable.

What is Blood Diamond? Is it a type of red diamond?

Kurapika asked, his mood inexplicably dampened by the thought of red.

Nion, clearly well-versed in this subject, replied without hesitation, "It's a red gemstone, or rather, a diamond, and it's extremely rare."

"It symbolizes blood, passion, and burning. It has a very high surface hardness, after all, it is a diamond, but if there are cracks inside, it will become extremely fragile."

This rare gemstone is also known as the "stone of love and Courage," symbolizing purity, as well as unwavering will and character.

As Nion spoke, she added a little of her own interpretation.

She's a diviner, and she's most interested in these mysterious things. Moreover, divination methods also include using gemstones and various Rock.

She was fascinated by the symbolic metaphors represented by various Rock.

However, she knows when to stop and doesn't jump to conclusions; this is her professional ethics as a fortune teller.

Kurapika fell into deep thought, and it was unclear what he had come to understand, but judging from his expression, the metaphor seemed to fit him perfectly.

Listening to this, Pairo had to admit that Biscuit's way of using metaphors was quite effective.

He knows Kurapika very well.

The characteristics and expressions represented by each Rock seem to fit perfectly with the person being compared to.

"What about Pairo? Did they say what kind of Rock Pairo resembles?" Kurapika asked curiously, perking up again.

"Yes, yes, let me think... what kind of Rock was she talking about?"

Nion was lost in memories.

Pairo had silently gone from sitting to squatting on the chair, his eyes becoming dead fish-like, staring straight at Nion.

Damn it, you only remember things related to Kurapika clearly, but you can't even be bothered to remember things related to me, huh?

You're being way too obvious!

Thinking about it, he silently looked at Kurapika again.

"Um?"

Kurapika looked at Pairo with clear eyes, as if asking him what he wanted to say.

"Well."

Pairo sighed helplessly, looking utterly disappointed.

You idiot Kurapika, while you still don't understand anything, the "enemy" has already begun its "attack"!

You're hopeless for life. Nion looks innocent, but she's actually full of ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, he inexplicably thought of Biscuit again.

Damn it, is it true that birds of a feather flock together?

A natural-born master of disguise, that's terrifying.

Oh no, my poor best friend Kurapika, Nion will cling to you like Octopus and suck you in tightly.

By the time you realize it, you've already fallen into her trap and can no longer escape.

That's terrible!

"Throat."

Pairo sighed silently again, looking at Kurapika with Mercy, as if to say, "Your life is over."

Kurapika looked completely bewildered, utterly confused about what was wrong with Pairo.

What is Pairo trying to say?

"I remember now, it was a diamond, a black diamond."

"A black diamond?" Pairo quickly changed his mind.

"Hmm, but I didn't look into it in detail. You can look it up yourself if you're interested."

Nion, holding Kurapika's hand, said indifferently.

Pairo's feigned calm finally crumbled.

"Spray."

"Mom knows, do you want to ask Mom?"

Rosana, who had just finished exercising and whose face was still covered in sweat, suddenly leaned close to Kurapika and asked with a smile.

"What is it, Mom?" Kurapika asked curiously.

However, Rosana's gaze wasn't on Kurapika's face at all, but rather silently fell on Nion's hand that was linked with Kurapika's.

Even in front of Kurapika's mother, Nion remained calm and composed, her expression suggesting she was completely unaware that her actions were inappropriate.

She made full use of her age advantage.

Rosana gave a strange yet radiant smile.

"This is terrifying. Could this woman have used some kind of Nen ability?" Pairo appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was racing.

Nion possessed Nen ability from the beginning, but they didn't know exactly what those abilities were.

Rosana said, "Black diamonds are also a very rare type of diamond, and their hardness is even higher than Kurapika's Blood Diamond."

"Moreover, unlike ordinary diamonds, it does not have a transparent crystal structure inside. Special elements inside give it a black appearance, and only the core part will have crystal shimmer."

It naturally contains more impurities and cracks.

"The cutting technique requires extremely high skill; the slightest mistake could cause it to shatter."

Rosana didn't offer much interpretation; she simply recounted the information she knew.

After hearing this, Kurapika and the other two fell into deep thought.

Pairo also fell silent for a moment.

Rosana smiled and knelt down in front of them, hugging her knees.

Suddenly, he asked, "Did it say what kind of gemstone I am?"

Although she wasn't very knowledgeable or experienced, she knew her only two relatives very well.

She had to admit that these metaphors were remarkably precise.

This also piqued her curiosity.

Nion immediately looked up and replied, "It's a pearl, it's a pearl! I've always remembered that."

"Because she's Kurapika's mother, my poor brother, now there's no way he can escape."

Pairo inwardly scoffed, but outwardly remained calm and composed.

"And what about yourself?" he asked.

"I am a fortune teller; I don't do fortune telling for myself, nor do I listen to other people's metaphors about themselves."

Nion said solemnly, firmly adhering to her principles as a diviner.

She was very insistent on this point.
