Arrival X What Month

The Hunter Association has one rule.

That's what it means to become Hunter x Hunter. If you're an ordinary person, you'll receive introductory training in Nen ability.

These instructors are generally among the more experienced members of the Association.

These Hunter x Hunter, assigned to teaching missions, would search for their targets and then encounter them by chance in a suitable location.

But of course, there are also those like Kevin who have absolutely no desire to waste time trying to bump into someone.

After all, Kevin was the examiner for this exam, and all the candidates knew him. Once a basic level of trust was established, it would be much easier to simply call him to a place for instruction.

Inside the city's airport.

Two people disembarked from an Airship.

Pakunoda and Pons.

"Why did the examiner suddenly invite us here?"

Pons stepped off the Airship, somewhat puzzled.

Pakunoda said, "Maybe it's because the exams aren't over yet?"

There was some uncertainty in his words; clearly, he himself was somewhat doubtful.

Pons frowned. "Is it because of the strength you showed in the final exam?"

Neither of them were fools; having already gone that far, they naturally wouldn't ignore the special circumstances.

Although they sometimes couldn't see what was made of so-called Nen Aura, the battle between the eight candidates who had been selected beforehand in the final exam far surpassed their own.

"Well, after that exam, I did some research and found that Hunter x Hunter seem to have similar abilities, like superpowers."

"But it's obvious that neither of us did, and Leorio and Gon, who passed the test, probably didn't either, and there's another rule that's quite interesting."

"Every Hunter x Hunter is required to have a basic Martial Heart."

At this moment, the two saw a car parked in the distance, waiting for them.

"When I first heard about this rule, I didn't pay much attention to it, but then I thought, is the so-called Martial Heart just a kind of superpower?"

The two talked as they walked to the vehicle.

Basho was leaning against the car.

"You two must be Pakunoda and Pons, right?"

Seeing the two nod, Basho said, "I am from the Nosra Manor, and I have come to welcome you at Mr. Kevin's request."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Inside the Manor.

A car drove up and stopped at the entrance.

Kurapika and Leorio got out of the car.

So why did you bring me here? As a guest?

Leorio and asked with some confusion.

After passing the interview and signing some contract documents, he was brought here shortly after his accommodations were arranged.

"A guest? You're dreaming. We brought you here to train you."

"That's what Pairo said without any politeness as he got off the bus last," said Pello.

"Training?" Leorio, somewhat puzzled. Kurapika led him inside, saying as they walked, "Actually, the Hunter Exam isn't over yet, for ordinary people like you."

"It's not over yet? Or is it just a normal person?"

Leorio, who was in a calm state at the moment, frowned and pondered upon hearing this.

I roughly understood some of the meaning.

"That kind of superpower?"

"That's one way to think about it."

Just then, another car stopped at the entrance, and the few people who had already gone inside turned around to look.

Kurapika and Leorio clearly expected this, but Leorio seemed somewhat surprised.

After all, it was Pakunoda and Pons who came down.

The group exchanged glances, seemingly understanding each other, and followed in silence.

But Basho, once she starts talking, she can talk non-stop.

So these are the candidates who succeeded in this exam?

Kurapika nodded. "These two gentlemen are... and this Miss Pons was a little unlucky."

Pons let out a soft sigh. Ah, she'd gotten used to it.

"Just a little bit of luck? No worries, luck's on its way."

Leorio and the others followed in silence, observing that apart from the obvious fact that it was a wealthy man's Manor, there seemed to be nothing particularly special about the surrounding environment.

After bypassing the main building in the center of the Manor, we arrived at the back and saw an Indoor Stadium that covered a considerable area.

"Building an Indoor Stadium inside the Manor, that's really something only the wealthy do."

Upon seeing this, Leorio couldn't help but make a comment.

Walking straight ahead.

A man's shout came from the road.

"Stop bothering me! I can't eat anymore, my monthly ration is only two!"

Everyone looked over.

All that could be seen was a dark-skinned man lying on the ground, entangled by a White Snake, writhing back and forth.

It looked as if it had been attacked by a giant white python.

Seeing this, Pakunoda instinctively reached behind her to grab her weapon.

"Mr. Squala," Kurapika called out.

Upon hearing this, Squala, who was entangled and lying on the ground, raised his head.

"Oh, it's Kurapika."

Squala was bound and looked rather disheveled.

"Don't worry about me, you guys go in first. This happens often, it'll calm down soon."

Squala lay on the ground, saying with a hint of helplessness.

"Little White! Sister Melusina is calling you."

At the entrance of the Indoor Training Ground, Nion, dressed in loose martial arts attire, ran out and shouted loudly.

However, Little White remained unmoved. "Fine, you won't listen to me, huh? You'll regret it later."

Nion, hands on her hips, said somewhat angrily.

A maid rushed out from inside; judging by the headband on her head, she was Little Yellow.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Squala and ripped the White Snake off his body.

Then, he stood there embracing the White Snake, and his figure vanished in an instant.

"Sigh, it's getting gluttonous more and more; two Golden Egg a month aren't enough for it."

Squala said with a hint of helplessness.

Kurapika could only manage a forced laugh in agreement.

The Manor's livestock industry isn't large-scale; besides the Charging Armor, the main animals are the Golden Chicken.

Of course, there are also some odds and ends, such as the Little White creature that once served as Melusina's legs.

However, Little White's work ended after arriving at the Nosra Manor.

He became an idle figure within the Manor.

Golden Egg are its favorite food.

But Golden Egg are precious, and getting two a month is already a luxury.

Squala, who was in charge of this matter, was also helpless.

Leorio and the others who were following along witnessed an unusual scene inside the Manor.

Nion ran over and hugged Kurapika's arm.

"You're back! Uncle Kevin is waiting inside."

The group entered the Training Ground.

On the field, two people appeared to be fighting.

The wind pressure from the battle rushed towards them, causing the people who had just entered to instinctively raise their hands to shield themselves.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, Gowen charged forward, slashing down with his greatsword.

Gowen's greatsword possesses the ability to sever thoughts.

Using Nen Aura as a form of defense is tantamount to suicide.

However, when faced with the Initiation psychic barrier, Kevin simply raised his right hand to block it.

"When!"

The sound of metal clashing, a single strike even producing sparks.

Kevin's right arm was covered with fine Silver Scales, and when the greatsword struck it, it felt like striking steel.

Having failed in his first strike, Gowen was about to retract his greatsword, but Kevin, of course, wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by, and thrust his right hand forward with a sudden burst.

"Fly!"

He thrust out with his palm.

Even though Gowen had tried his best to defend, the immense force sent him flying, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Gowen, who had fallen to the ground, drank some of the potion he carried with him before getting up.

Kevin then dusted off imaginary dust and turned to look at the people standing at the door.

Leorio and the other two were brought here.

Kevin didn't mince words and said directly, "According to the Association's rules, people like you who become Hunter x Hunter but are still ordinary people..."

You need to learn how to pronounce it.

"Read?"

Kevin nodded. "It's what you call superpowers or something, but internally we call it Nen, and people who can use Nen are called Nen user."

"As for me, I'm only responsible for teaching those two Nen ability." Pointing to Pons, he continued, "As for you, I think you have some talent. Training one, two, or three is still training, so I'll teach them all together."

Special power?

The three of them were somewhat excited.

However, after his Leorio frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Will it take a long time to learn?"

"What important thing do you need me to do?" Kevin asked.

Leorio nodded. "My wish to become Hunter x Hunter is to become a doctor, so I still need to study and take the exams."

Joining Red Stone Pharmaceuticals' plan simply meant being exempt from those financial expenses, and subsequently having a smooth industry plan.

Getting into medical school or similar programs still depends on your own efforts.

"It's alright, the timeframe is up to you; training and learning can be done simultaneously."

That's how Kevin sees it, at least.

As a newly minted Nen user, the time available for training each day is limited, and it's easy to become exhausted due to the depletion of Nen Aura, meaning you can't train for very long in a day.

"So, enough chit-chat, let's begin."

Kevin began by explaining the concepts of Qi and Nian to the group, and then discussed the Four Major Principles.

Then comes the Initiation.

There are two ways to Initiation. One is through self-training, which takes a very long time, measured in years.

However, this method is very stable and long-lasting, with almost no side effects.

"The second method is to forcefully Initiation, allowing us Nen user to forcibly open the Aura Nodes in your bodies and let the Qi flow out."

"The side effect is that if you don't have enough talent, your Qi will be lost. The more you lose, the weaker your body becomes, until you can't even stand up."

"This then led to a vicious cycle, and my body became increasingly weak."

Upon hearing this, the three began to think.

However, before they could even think it through, Kevin said directly, "Of course, I have a third way. Don't waste time choosing; just pick the third one."

As he spoke, Kevin took out three prepared vials of medicine and handed them to the three of them.

The three of them accepted it.

"This is Nen Awakening Potion. After drinking it, you will be able to control your Nen Aura on your own. Once you have used it, even after the effects of the potion wear off, you will have successfully Initiation."

The three of them were stunned.

Because no matter how you look at it, this thing must be incredibly valuable.

For a moment, all three of them felt a little embarrassed to use it.

"Alright, stop dawdling and drink up."

Leorio the first to drink it.

The other two followed closely behind.

After drinking it, they clearly felt the surge of Nen Aura within their bodies and saw a brand new world.

"Very good, now you've learned how to pronounce it. Next up is the advanced lesson."

The teaching went very smoothly.

The three were not stupid; they were among the more talented people in the general population.

Then came the gradual approach with the Four Major Principles.

This will take some time.

After becoming Nen user, the three discovered the differences within the Manor.

Because everyone in the Manor is Nen user, although some Nen user very weak. Even though the three of them have only recently become Nen user, they should be able to defeat them.

However, being Nen user, he is fundamentally much stronger than an ordinary person.

Then they discovered that it wasn't just Nen user, but also many Hunter x Hunter.

Including the candidates who cleared the level with them this time, the proportion of Hunter x Hunter in the Manor is already quite high.

After all, having just become Nen user, the time available for training each day is limited.

Basically, the longest training session involves "entanglement".

Their free time thereafter was left to them to allocate as they pleased.

Leorio, needless to say, was either studying medical knowledge at the Manor or doing his internship at the hospital.

It was a very fulfilling experience.

Meanwhile, Pakunoda and Pons had an even more fulfilling time.

The two stayed in the Manor and hardly ever left because Kevin himself was Phantom Beast Hunter.

His study was filled with many ancient books, and his storeroom was also filled with many materials.

More importantly, there are the things that Squala is in charge of raising.

In Pakunoda's eyes, many of them were Phantom Beast that had already disappeared.

Not to mention the Golden Chicken, a legendary creature.

It only took about three months of training.

These three individuals practically controlled the Four Major Principles.

Then, Kevin took them to the Training Ground once again.

"Now that you've mastered Qi, you've almost reached the next level. It's time to take it a step further."

Kevin then showed everyone the whiteboard next to him.

The drawing above depicts a hexagon and the Six Nen Types.

There was a table in front of them, with a water glass and some floating leaves on it.

After a brief explanation.

Kevin then had them begin using the Water Divination to determine their respective affiliations.

After checking them one by one.

Leorio and Pakunoda are both Emission Type.

Pons is the Manipulation Type.

"Now that you understand the unique characteristics of each department, it's time for your Nen ability to truly shine—that is, to build your own Nen ability."

"The so-called Nen ability is like a superpower. You can build it based on the characteristics of your Nen, which requires a certain amount of time and effort."

"But once it's built, your strength will increase dramatically. What you need to remember is that the concept behind the building must satisfy you; you must follow your own inner thoughts."

Kevin then held up one finger and emphasized, "Thought is the combination of mind and breath."
