Lament of the Scarlet Eyes X Grievous Curse

Experimental verification on the Training Ground is still ongoing.

After explaining the process of using his First Stage of ability, Pairo rubbed his eyes.

This novel and strange feeling made him feel somewhat uncomfortable for a while.

Is this Nen ability? That's amazing.

"So, your First Stage ability is to establish a connection with the other person's eyeballs through eye contact, and your two eyeballs are independent entities, each capable of connecting separately with the other person's eyeballs?" Kevin asked.

These conditions can be easily summarized based on the other party's explanation.

After a moment's thought, Pairo nodded.

"So, you can use your left and right eyeballs to establish connections with the left and right eyes of different people, meaning you can connect to at most one eyeball of two people at the same time."

Kevin immediately thought of Pairo's Nen ability and the possible effects it might have.

Therefore, the maximum range of Pairo 'Nen ability is limited to two people.

Clearly, Pairo himself had considered this.

"Okay, now that we understand the mechanism of the First Stage, what abilities will we gain after the connection is complete?"

Definitely not; it's just a simple connection establishment. That's merely the initial condition. The key is what you can do to the other party after the connection is successfully established.

This is the key to Pairo's Nen ability.

Pairo gently shook his head.

"I'm not entirely sure. I can feel some kind of connection between my two eyeballs and Kurapika's two eyeballs, and I should be able to do something about it."

"But only after actually trying it can I know exactly what it can do; otherwise, I can't make a judgment," Pairo said cautiously.

Kevin nodded to indicate that he understood, then looked at Kurapika.

Kurapika readily agreed, "No problem, give it a try."

He had enough trust in the other party.

Pairo quickly said, "Although I don't know exactly what this ability is, I can tell if it's aggressive. Even if it is, I should be able to control it, just like when we first established the connection."

He could still sense this, after all, he had no intention or desire to attack, and Nen ability are usually Domination by willpower.

Kevin nodded. Since they both agreed, they would begin the experiment.

Logically, to be on the safe side, one should find a random outsider to test it, or even, if there's a risk involved, pull a death row inmate from prison.

Pairo nodded and closed his eyes again.

Kurapika stood to the side, warily observing the unusual things about himself.

However, he still felt nothing.

"Could it be that my skills are not good enough? "Kurapika wondered to himself.

Otherwise, why can't I feel anything?

At this moment, even though Pairo's eyes were closed, he could "see" everything clearly.

But the scene he "saw" was no longer the scene before his eyes, but the scene that Kurapika saw.

He "saw" himself in Kurapika's eyes.

This feeling is truly amazing.

He tried opening one eye, and sure enough, the moment he opened that eye, the scene he saw changed back to the view in front of him.

But his other closed eye can still "see" what Kurapika sees.

This feeling was extremely strange, as if my brain had been split into two parts.

This peculiar visual experience made Pairo somewhat uncomfortable, but not to the point of making him feel dizzy or nauseous.

He thought to himself that with specialized training, he should be able to gradually adapt to this situation.

But is that all this ability has to offer?

If this is all the Nen ability he has, Pairo would be very disappointed; it is not the powerful ability he had hoped for.

This is not the power that will enable him to achieve his revenge.

Because it's obvious that this is a Nen ability used to steal information and gather intelligence.

At least in Pairo's opinion, it's somewhat weak. If that's all there is to it, then it would be better if it weren't Specialization Type and instead allowed him to build his own Nen ability.

If Nen ability reflect inner desires, then this is clearly not the ability he has always longed for.

Is it really not true?

He couldn't help but recall the past, when his eyesight was deteriorating and he desperately longed to see more clearly.

He even made a promise with Kurapika, who was about to leave, to let him see the outside world in his place.

He wanted to go outside to see, but his legs, his eyes, and his weak body simply wouldn't allow him to do so.

From this perspective, this seems to be the Nen ability I once wanted, but not the one I need now.

What he wants now is a powerful force sufficient to support his revenge.

Pairo closed his eyes again, observing his surroundings through Kurapika's perspective, completely "seeing" from Kurapika's point of view.

He can't control anything, nor can he change anything; he can only "see" what Kurapika sees.

He's simply stealing the other person's vision.

"Steal their eyes?" The thought flashed through Pairo's mind, and he found it somewhat ironic.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of these distractions, and continued to focus on exploring his Nen ability.

Through continuous exploration, he finally discovered some unusual features.

This is not just about simply sharing a view with the other person; he seems to be able to make subtle modifications to what the other person sees.

With that in mind, Pairo decided to give it a try.

"Um?"

Kurapika was taken aback, because a small heart suddenly appeared above Nion's head in his field of vision.

Subsequently, this change became increasingly apparent.

Pink heart-shaped bubbles began to appear all over Nion's body.

Finally Nion saw pink hearts appear in her eyes, looking like a special effect from an anime.

This clearly does not conform to normal visual scenarios.

"Did you do this Pairo?" Kurapika turned to Pairo beside him and asked.

Although Pairo's eyes were closed, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"How's that? Interesting, isn't it? Don't move, keep your eyes on me."

Kurapika nodded obediently, staring intently at Pairo's face.

After a while, he saw that Pairo had opened his eyes.

"Then what? See how you open your eyes?" Kurapika asked doubtfully. After waiting for a long time, he didn't notice any strange changes like before.

Kurapika didn't notice the change, but Kevin and the other two standing nearby did.

Because at this point, Pairo was still keeping his eyes closed.

Kevin understood instantly.

Is this some kind of illusion, a deceptive illusion?

From the moment Pairo and Kurapika locked eyes, Kevin had been pondering what kind of Nen ability would result from eye contact, and now he had a rough idea.

Pairo had just made Kurapika keep an eye on him, and considering Kurapika's recent actions...

Is it possible to share the other person's field of vision and then use illusions to deceive them?

Kevin pondered, having almost completely analyzed Pairo's Nen ability.

In Kurapika's view, Pairo opened his eyes and blinked at him.

Then, his eyes suddenly disappeared, and Pairo returned to his closed-eye state.

But unlike normal eye closure, the open eyes vanished as if by a gust of wind.

This strange visual change immediately made Kurapika realize that, just like the heart-shaped bubble that appeared above Nion's head earlier, this must be Pairo's doing.

"Are you changing what I see?" Kurapika asked, by which time Pairo had already withdrawn his Nen ability.

He reopened his eyes, looked at Kurapika, and smiled.

If it's simply about stealing the opponent's vision, Pairo feels that this ability is somewhat weak.

However, if one can alter what the other person sees while stealing their vision, that's a completely different story. Just this one ability elevates the entire Nen ability to a higher level.

Although the things that can be changed right now are very minor, such as adding an eye or making some colorful bubbles appear.

He still couldn't make his entire body disappear from the other person's sight.

However, it can create the illusion that you throw a right punch, but your opponent sees you throwing a left punch, which greatly increases the value of this ability.

This pleased Pairo greatly.

This is an absolute weapon of mass destruction in battle.

Whether it's fighting alone or providing support during a battle.

All of this could allow his abilities to have a lethal effect, requiring only a momentary change.

Kevin walked over after watching the two finish the experiment.

Everyone here is trustworthy, so Kevin directly asked Pairo to explain his understanding of his Nen ability.

After listening to Pairo's detailed explanation, Kevin nodded; it was pretty much what he had guessed.

He also gained a deeper understanding of the characteristics of Pairo's Nen ability.

"So, aside from the First Stage where you need to mark, you can mark a maximum of one eyeball for two people, and it must be one on the left and one on the right, right?"

Pairo nodded, listening to Kevin's summary, after all, Kevin had more experience.

Kevin then asked, "So, could you tag more people and then choose whose viewpoint to connect with?"

Pairo shook his head and replied directly, "No, there are only two connection slots; one eyeball connects to the other's eyeball."

I understand, it's not possible to connect with multiple people and freely switch between viewpoints.

The connections between each eyeball are fixed; if you want to connect to a new target, you need to remove the original markings first.

Fortunately, removing the mark is very convenient; Pairo can do it anytime he wants without needing to have any further contact with the other party.

Although there are limitations, they are minor and well within acceptable limits.

"Besides this question, I have another crucial one. If you only connect to one eye of the other party, is the image you modify limited to what that eye sees?"

"You should understand the importance of this issue. A person has two eyes. If you only change what one eye sees, the other person will easily notice something is wrong, and it will seem very strange."

Hallucinations, after all, need to be somewhat realistic to be truly deadly.

Upon hearing this question that he hadn't even had time to consider, Pairo simply closed one eye.

Kurapika sensed that the things he saw in front of him had been altered again; this time, only the color of the cup had changed.

The cup was originally transparent, but now a layer of red has been added on top, and the red is too obvious. The two colors overlapping create a phantom-like illusion.

This peculiar visual effect also reached Pairo, who, following the principle of controlling one eye to change while keeping the other unchanged, personally experienced what Kurapika saw.

Then, Pairo shook his head regretfully. "You can't use the image from one eye to modify the image seen by both eyes at the same time."

To achieve a truly lifelike effect, both eyes need to be closed, and each eye needs to be connected to the left and right eyeballs of the same person.

This is one of the limitations of his Nen ability.

Kevin nodded; these were reasonable restrictions, and expected.

After all, the basic pattern of Pairo's Nen ability is that one eyeball is connected to another eyeball. Based on this basic condition, some limitations can be deduced.

"However, don't be discouraged. In the heat of battle, if you suddenly alter the view of one of your opponent's eyes, it can severely disrupt their judgment."

To put it bluntly, this ability to alter one's appearance with a single eye has a "killer effect at first sight" effect.

In the heat of battle, if the opponent suddenly sees themselves throwing both a right and a left punch, this overlapping visual can lead to misjudgment, making them think the opponent is throwing punches with both hands simultaneously.

In combat, such a misjudgment could very well turn the tide of battle.

Furthermore, if you first alter one eye, making the opponent notice and believe you have the ability to break through, then you can alter both of their eyes simultaneously.

This poses a potentially fatal threat to the enemy.

However, judging from the speed at which Pairo is currently modifying the graphics, he still needs to strengthen his training in order to be able to quickly play a role in actual combat.

Pairo felt that Kevin made a good point.

Experienced people have a different Nen ability; they can quickly come up with all sorts of ways to use them.

"In any case, this is a pretty good Nen ability. You should cherish it and work hard to develop it. It will definitely be very powerful in the future."

Kevin said with a smile.

Moreover, as Pairo's strength continues to increase, the scope and extent of his modifications to the visuals will inevitably follow suit.

By then, he might be able to completely control the other party's vision.

Although there may be misalignments in touch, taste, and other senses, for normal people, vision remains the most important sense.

People tend to believe what they see most, and with careful and clever modifications, a perfect deception can be achieved.

The simplest application is to become invisible to the other party.

Pairo named his Nen ability "Lament of the Scarlet Eyes," and the meaning behind this name is self-evident.

This not only reflects the special significance of his eyeballs, but also hints at the helplessness and sorrow of having his eyeballs taken away.

He even specifically named the ability used to modify the opponent's vision "[Grievous Curse]".

After learning about Pairo's Nen ability, Kevin told him and Kurapika to train on their own, Nion curiously went over to them.

She also wanted to have Pairo test the ability on her eyes; she was incredibly curious about how this amazing Nen ability would perform.

They played around for a while before Kevin called them back.

"Now, I'll explain in detail the unique features and functions of each department. This knowledge will be helpful whether you're developing your own Nen ability or encountering enemies in the future."

Although Pairo has awakened his Nen ability, Kurapika and Rosana still need to build it themselves.

"Let's start by talking about Rosana's Emission Type."

Kevin looked at Rosana and said:

"Achieving 100% efficiency in the Emission Type means that the energy you Emission has the same effect as it does when it's inside your body; there will be no reduction in effectiveness."

After saying that, Kevin picked up a wooden board from the side and demonstrated it himself.

"Look, I'm using the same intensity of air."

Kevin gathered his energy at his fingertips, extended them slightly forward, and gently tapped the wooden board.

A hole was punched through the wooden plank.

Then, Kevin created some distance and launched the Aura Bullet.

There was only a small dent in the wooden board; it wasn't punched through.

"You can see that clearly. You can feel that the effect of the Qi within my body is diminished compared to its effect after it is released."

I used the same amount of air both times.

Rosana nodded, indicating that she understood.

"The application of the Emission Type can generally be divided into three categories: Nen Bullet, Nen Beast, and spatial manipulation."

"I think you can easily understand 'Nen Bullet'. It's simply Emission your breath, like firing a bullet. It's simple, direct, and powerful."

"The Nen Beast, as its name suggests, Emission its energy to form various objects to help you achieve your goals."

"Space, although it sounds a bit abstract, can create effects related to space because the Emission Type can release air out of the body with 100% efficiency."

"For example, Teleportation, Spatial Exchange, Create Space, Connect Different Spaces, and so on."

"Aside from the Specialization Type, these effects are basically only achievable with the Emission Type."

Everyone listened intently.

They never expected that seemingly ordinary Nen ability types would have such vast differences between them.

Kevin briefly described the characteristics of the different Nen ability types to them.

When discussing the Materialization Type, Kevin looked at Kurapika and said, "The Materialization Type has some connection to me, so I have some experience in this area."

"First of all, it must be clear that materialization requires materializing an object, and this object is usually a real, physical object that can be seen even by non -Nen user."

"What do you want to materialize? Judging from your expression, you probably already have an idea."

Kurapika nodded. The moment he discovered he was Materialization Type, he had an idea.

"Then let me explain the characteristics of the Materialization Type to you, namely, Amplification Rules and creating rules. It sounds a bit mysterious, but it's actually quite easy to understand."

Kevin gave a brief explanation, just as he had summarized before.

After listening, Kurapika easily understood and nodded.

Now, he had a preliminary idea of what his Nen ability was.

However, due to the previous agreement, he could only keep these thoughts to himself for the time being.

Kevin looked at him and said, "Although I don't allow you to develop Nen ability within a year, you can spend more time learning about the things you want to materialize."

"It needs to reach a point where, when you think of its name, the item seems to already appear before your eyes."

Simply put, it's about getting Kurapika ready in advance.

After explaining all this, Kevin looked at the three of them, his expression turning serious.

"Now, let's talk about your special feature—the Scarlet Eyes."
