Gorilla X Great Poet

Kevin appeared unexpectedly in front of the Game Console.

"The timing is perfect."

He said in a calm tone.

Sitting in her seat next to the Game Console, Rosana was holding a teacup, intently looking at the data reports in front of her.

Rosana would occasionally join in Kurapika and the others' training.

However, considering her age and the fact that her Nen ability is not suited for combat, moderate training, while ensuring her own safety, is sufficient for her.

Therefore, although Rosana's combat strength is not outstanding, she is quite confident in her ability to survive.

The so-called "home" is an absolutely safe haven.

"You're out. Gowen others are already on their way back. If you go out now, you'll run into them," Rosana said, putting down her teacup.

She knew why Kevin had come out at this time.

"Okay, do you want to go in and play for a while? You don't always have to push yourself so hard," Kevin asked with concern.

Rosana took a sip of tea, gently set the cup aside, turned to Kevin, touched her face with her hand, and said with a hint of regret, "I'm past the age of playing games."

Kevin shook his head helplessly. "Alright, I'll head out then." He took out his keys from his pocket, and in a flash, he appeared outside.

"Hatred, truly a sharp blade weighing down the human heart," Kevin muttered to himself, slowly walking out of the room.

Perhaps it was because of her age, perhaps because Rosana was the oldest living member of the Kurta Clan, or perhaps because of her role as a mother, she had to bear the burden of hatred, yet she could not be completely consumed by it.

Before her clan was wiped out, she had never interacted with the outside world, but she was born with an understanding of the consequences of indulging in hatred.

Therefore, she must strike a balance; even if she cannot set a perfect example for the young people of the Kurta Clan,

At the very least, we should guide them to deal with hatred in a proper way.

As for Kevin, his attitude towards the Phantom Troupe remained steadfast—they were a group destined to die, and it was not worth paying any price for them.

However, he didn't hate, he only disliked, so he couldn't put himself in others' shoes and couldn't judge them. He could only do his best to prevent them from indulging in hatred.

Kevin walked into the living room and saw Squala chatting happily with a maid.

The maid appeared to be one of the people responsible for Nion's daily life; both of them had cheerful smiles on their faces and were chatting very intently.

They didn't notice Kevin until he reached the living room doorway.

"Lord Kevin."

"Boss."

The two then noticed Kevin and quickly greeted him.

Kevin watched them silently until the two began to feel uneasy.

"Okay, I'm actually quite open-minded, as long as it doesn't affect my work," Kevin said with a smile. There's really no reason to stop people from dating.

Soon, footsteps could be heard outside.

Gowen and Daznuer walked in first, followed by three other people.

"Kevin!" came a gasp from behind.

Kevin looked over and was surprised to find that among the three people following them were Basho and Goreinu.

These were two people he never expected to meet.

Basho and Goreinu were clearly surprised to see Kevin here.

Gowen grinned slyly, clearly not having revealed beforehand that the real employer was Kevin.

"What a coincidence! We were looking for two armed escorts, and we actually managed to recruit the two of you." Kevin smiled as he stood up and hugged the two men.

"It's been over a year since I last saw you. You've all grown quite a bit."

"Haha, I'm now undoubtedly going to become a great poet!" Basho confidently gave a thumbs up.

Goreinu smiled helplessly to himself.

Kevin was curious about their whereabouts after the exam.

When Kevin asked him, Goreinu explained, "After the exam, we did stick together for a while. But when we were about to part ways, we met a teacher sent by the Hunter Association, so we studied Nen ability together and graduated around the end of last year. We just hadn't decided what to do until this year when we started looking for work."

Not every Professional Hunter can immediately determine their career direction after obtaining their Hunter License.

Candidates for the Hunter Exam can be broadly divided into two categories:

One type is because they have a clear objective that requires Hunter License to achieve.

After obtaining their licenses, these candidates will quickly determine their career direction and register.

Another group consists of those who take the exam for money, or simply because they think the Hunter x Hunter profession is impressive.

Although they are capable, their self-awareness is not clear enough, and it often takes them a while to determine their career plan.

Unexpectedly, the first jobs that Basho and Goreinu got were under Kevin's supervision.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Even if it were just the two of you, I wouldn't hire you if you weren't up to par," Kevin said with a smile.

Basho pouted in displeasure. "Who do you think I am? I've been seriously studying Nen ability since the exam."

After all, Kevin and the others had left a deep impression on everyone with their performance in the exam, so Basho and Goreinu were extra serious when learning Nen ability.

Kevin looked at the girl standing to the side, curiously observing the interior of the Manor.

She wore glasses and looked quiet, but the aloofness she exuded was quite obvious.

Gowen walked over and handed three files to Kevin.

Kevin casually flipped through the files of Basho and Goreinu, and the contents were basically consistent with what he knew.

But when he saw the file of the girl named Shalnark, he frowned slightly, because the file clearly stated: Shalnark comes from Meteor City.

Gowen whispered helplessly in his ear, "Her Nen ability meets your requirements."

The brief identity information provided by the [Thousand Ears Society] also mentions the advantage of the Meteor City people—they are the only group in human society that leaves no trace, which is a great advantage for many people.

Furthermore, Kevin's Nen ability requirements are not easy to meet, and finding a suitable one in such a short time is already quite remarkable.

Kevin pondered for a moment, then said no more.

However, since it was just simple identification information, he still looked at Shalnark and asked, "Are you from Meteor City?"

Shalnark nodded gently.

What did you do before?

"Helping some people clean the streets."

This answer surprised everyone present; it sounded like something a cleaner would say.

"What do you mean?" Kevin pressed.

"They leave behind a pile of corpses and a lot of blood after they fight, and I'm in charge of cleaning it up." As she spoke, Shalnark materialized her Nen ability —a Vacuum Cleaner with eyes.

The Vacuum Cleaner's inlet has teeth, tongue, and mouth.

Kevin instantly understood that the so-called "cleaning" was actually collecting corpses.

"Then why did you want to take this job?" Kevin wouldn't normally ask, but considering Shalnark's special background, he still asked.

Shalnark tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Because I want to change jobs, and this job sounds good, and the pay is high." This job pays much more than she used to earn cleaning, and since she was planning to change jobs anyway, she came here naturally.

"Then, the three of you, come with me." Kevin led the three to the Training Ground.

"The three of you have been hired, but there will be a six-month probationary period. The probationary salary will be the same as for regular employment, but during these six months, I have the right to dismiss you at any time without any reason. Of course, after dismissal, I will pay you the probationary salary for the entire six months. Is that acceptable?"

After all, this recruitment is different from the last one. Kevin has clear requirements for all aspects, and those who fail to meet the standards during the recruitment process will not be allowed to participate.

Even if he approves of Basho and Goreinu's personalities, he still needs to investigate.

All three nodded in agreement; the contract was perfectly reasonable, and there was no reason to refuse.

"Since you agree, let's sign the contract. Afterwards, I need to understand your capabilities and strengths."

After the simple contract was signed, Kevin asked Goreinu to demonstrate it first.

"First, engage in regular combat, then use your Nen ability."

Goreinu nodded and rushed forward without hesitation.

He knew Kevin well and didn't expect to beat him, so he felt there was little point in observing him too much.

Kevin easily dodged Goreinu's attacks, appearing completely at ease.

In Kevin's opinion, Goreinu's close combat skills were quite good, on par with Daznuer.

Considering that Goreinu has only been Professional Hunter for a year, this rate of growth is quite remarkable.

After a few attacks, realizing he couldn't even touch Kevin's sleeve, Goreinu jumped back to create distance.

Immediately, two black and white Nen Beast appeared beside him—a black ape and a white ape.

They are named [Black Sage] and [White Sage] respectively.

Nen Beast? Kevin pondered to himself.

The chimpanzee and Goreinu launched an attack together, while the white chimpanzee stood still.

Are they functional Nen Beast? One specializing in melee combat, and the other in ranged combat? Or do they possess other special abilities?

Just as Kevin was thinking, Goreinu swept his leg at him, and Kevin dodged by stepping back.

Goreinu didn't retract his sweeping leg; instead, he kicked at the chimpanzee that was attacking from the side.

Kevin immediately sensed something was wrong; his position had changed.

He quickly raised his leg to block the attack, and at the same time found himself in the spot where the chimpanzee had just been—it turned out the chimpanzee had switched places with him!

Kevin swiftly reached out and grabbed forward, his attack incredibly fast. Goreinu's eyes widened; he had no time to dodge, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Kevin caught a white orangutan.

I see, it's a position-swapping ability, belonging to the Emission Type!

Kevin released his grip, and the two Nen Beast vanished, ending the battle.

"A very tactical Nen ability, excellent," Kevin couldn't help but praise.

Goreinu smiled and said, "You flatter me."

After talking, it became clear from Kevin's conversation that Goreinu's Nen ability were exactly as Kevin had predicted: [Black Sage] could forcibly swap positions with other targets, while [Hekisenin] could swap positions with Goreinu himself. Moreover, both of these Nen Beasts were stronger than him, and they could perform very well in both one-on-one combat and teamwork.

It's safe to say this is a very promising Nen ability; its structure is excellent.

After letting Goreinu go and rest, Kevin looked at Basho.

Without Kevin saying a word, Basho jumped down, "Now let me have my way with you."

"Come on, let me see how much stronger you've gotten," Kevin beckoned with a smile.

Basho charged straight up, and like Goreinu, launched a close-quarters attack.

In terms of close combat skills alone, Basho is superior to Goreinu. Kevin exchanged a few blows with Banana, feeling the opponent's strength, and found that Basho was quite powerful.

However, it is quite obvious that Basho's Nen ability is far removed from the Enhancement Type.

In Kevin's understanding, Manipulation Type Devil Fruit users usually have distinct personalities, and given Basho's personality, it's hard to associate him with the Manipulation Type. Therefore, Kevin speculates that he is likely Materialization Type, though the possibility of Specialization Type cannot be ruled out.

After a brief close-quarters battle, demonstrating his melee abilities, Basho leaped back, clearly preparing to unleash his Nen ability.

He lifted his vest, took out a small rectangular piece of cardboard, and then pulled out a calligraphy brush, licking it to his lips.

"My punches will be very fast." After writing this, Basho looked disgusted. "That's terrible."

Despite his initial disgust, he still clutched the piece of paper in his hand and charged forward again.

The moment the punch was thrown, a whooshing sound rang out as both fists attacked Kevin simultaneously, their speed increasing by at least two times.

However, this was still within Kevin's control; he dodged left and right, but it wasn't as easy as before.

Finding that this method was ineffective against Kevin, Basho took out another piece of paper.

Kevin didn't stop him.

"My punches are more likely to hit the target."

"Still rotten," Basho said disdainfully, clutching the piece of paper in her hand before launching another attack.

This time, his speed returned to normal, but each punch became extremely tricky. After dodging a few times, Kevin had to reach out and block Basho's fist.

"Okay, I understand now," Kevin said.

Basho stopped his attack, a helpless expression on his face. "Is the gap between us really that big?"

Although he didn't intend to defeat Kevin, he believed he had given it his all, but with Kevin holding back, he was still helpless.

"It's not very big, just a little bit." Kevin held out his hand, making a very small gesture.

However, more curious about Basho's Nen ability than the difference in skill level, he asked, "So, is your Nen ability Specialization Type? Or Materialization Type?"

Kevin suspected it was Materialization Type because Basho might have already conjured up his writing tools and put them in his pocket, a common tactic used by many Materialization Type users to confuse their opponents.

"It's Specialization Type— the Wandering Master. Everything I write above will come true; the better the quality of the sentence, the better the effect."

Upon hearing this ability, Kevin gave him a strange look. "But what you just wrote—" He didn't finish his sentence, but it was certainly not a sentence.

"That's why I said it's bad." Basho sighed helplessly.

Although his Nen ability is powerful, his sentence structure is no different from that of an ordinary person.

He genuinely loves sentences, which is why he possesses this special ability to connect with sentences. This not only reflects his love for sentences but also exposes his lack of talent in this area.

As for whether this capability is actually useful, it's hard to say, but its functionality is definitely not an issue.

"Then why don't you establish a few fixed sentence structures beforehand? You can just write them down during battle." Does it really have to be something you come up with on the spot?

However, Basho looked distressed. "What I usually write isn't much better than what I write on the spot."

"It's alright, I'm Haiku Immortal. I'll provide you with some inspiration and help you determine some fixed formations that can be used in battle."

Kevin was joking, but what he said was absolutely right.

Basho nodded. Although "providing inspiration" sounded a bit vague, he was still looking forward to it.

Finally, Kevin turned his attention to Shalnark —a Nen user from Meteor City without Hunter License Nen user. Just how strong was she?
