Killua and Gon arrived at the Nosra Manor.

Their goal, of course, was to get the Game Console from Kevin for free.

The price of Game Console is now prohibitively expensive, so it would be too much of a burden for the two of them to try and earn the money themselves to buy Game Console.

Biscuit will also be entering the game with them.

The two didn't have much of a feeling about Biscuit; they only knew that she was a little girl who followed Kevin around.

Since it's Kevin's Game Console, the two have already discussed that they'll help take care of it when they get into the game.

Since Biscuit would have to wait a day or two to enter the game, the two had to continue waiting.

However, for the two who came to the Nosra Manor, it made no difference whether they had one more day or one less day.

Because this place is just so interesting.

"Good morning, Sister Sophia!"

Early in the morning, the energetic Gon raised his hand to greet the head maid who was walking down the aisle, accompanied by two chubby rabbit dolls.

Two round rabbit ears were carrying some items.

Hearing the voice behind her, Sophia turned around and smiled slightly.

Good morning, Mr. Gon.

"Buji!"

The two rabbit dolls waved their short arms, and their woven eyes made smiling expressions.

The door next to him opened, Killua walked out, yawning.

"Mr. Killua is awake too? Then please come with me to the restaurant."

"Bujibaka!"

The two children huddled together and nodded at Sophia.

I followed her outside.

"What a big house."

It was very late when we got back yesterday, so the two of them fell asleep after being led to their respective rooms.

I woke up today and followed along the road, only to find that the main building of the Manor was much larger than I had imagined.

Killua didn't comment on it; in his opinion, it was just alright.

The only difference between it and my own home is that the interior decoration of the Manor is more normal, cozy, and luxurious than my own home.

We arrived at the restaurant.

At the dining table, some members of the Nosra Manor could already be seen gathered around, eating breakfast.

Everyone seemed very relaxed.

Melusina seemed to be taking Notebook in her notebook while she ate.

He was wearing red glasses and looked quite serious.

A maid came over and led Killua to their seats.

Two breakfast dishes floated in the air and landed steadily in front of the two people.

If it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to see it.

But the two of them could see it clearly.

Those were two hands, almost transparent hands floating in the air, dragging the plates.

The two remembered seeing it yesterday as well; it was the Nen ability of one of the maids.

"How interesting."

Even though this was the second time he had seen it today, Gon couldn't help but exclaim.

Killua, eating his breakfast nearby, nodded in agreement.

Kevin was eating breakfast, looked at the two of them and thought for a moment before saying, "Biscuit will be waiting for a day or two. You can rest and enjoy yourself at the Manor in the meantime."

"Thanks!"

Gon smiled brightly and thanked him.

Killua thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any places we can't go?"

He took a quick look around yesterday and noticed that besides the main building, there were several other large buildings nearby.

There should be a large back garden as well.

Besides, with so many Nen user, there must be some places that our own people can't go. If they wander in recklessly, that would be bad.

Their family has many places like this.

Qi Bai, who has more experience in this area, thinks it's better to ask first.

Kevin smiled upon hearing this.

"Don't worry about it. The butler must have marked you. He'll sense where you can't go, and you'll be refused if you try to force your way in."

This was something neither of them had expected.

Gon's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it that old man from yesterday?"

Kevin smiled and nodded.

As a butler, his Nen ability is essentially harmless, and can be said to have almost no offensive capabilities.

While purely restrictive capabilities are possible, convenient and efficient management capabilities are certainly possible.

After writing down the permissions and names on the notes, guests can more easily find the places they want to go within the managed area.

Similarly, places that are off-limits will be given extra warnings when you get close, and you won't be able to force your way in.

Its main function is to allow different sticky notes to sense each other within the managed area.

In this way, when Kevin and his companions need some service or are looking for something, the nearest maid or servant will be able to notice and come to their aid.

"It's so different from my house."

Killua thought back to his own home, compared it briefly, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, saying...

Before he learned Nen ability, he could only feel the oppressive feeling created when other people in his family were emitting Nen.

He always thought it was because his brothers and elders in the family were more powerful and intimidating.

Now I understand, it was the oppressive feeling brought about by the thought.

After learning how to read, look back on the past.

You'll then discover that the butlers and servants in your home are all Nen user.

But having lived at home for so long, I've never seen these butlers and servants use any interesting or magical superpowers.

Besides their agility and superhuman strength.

But this would seem perfectly normal to the Zoldyck Family.

So much so that I always thought they were ordinary people.

It's different from the Nosra Manor.

Seriously speaking, Killua, who has already mastered Nen, feels that apart from the main members who previously followed Kevin, he is now Nen ability of much more.

The servants and maids in the Manor were no match for those in my own household; they posed no threat whatsoever, just like ordinary people.

Killua felt that even before he learned Nen ability, he might have been able to kill these people.

Not to mention comparing them to the housekeeper in one's own home.

This made him feel somewhat strange and surprised.

Aren't Nen ability and physical strength correlated?

Kevin probably knew what Killua was thinking, smiled, and said nothing more.

He has been in this world for so many years now; under normal circumstances, this world is the modern society of the millennium.

So there was no real separation; he integrated very quickly.

After so many years of fighting, learning, and training.

Kevin has gained considerable insight into the small circle of Nen user.

Under normal circumstances, there are only three ways to Initiation.

Teaching, surprise, autonomy.

The instruction goes without saying. Whether it's forcibly helping someone Initiation or gradually stimulating it through training, Nen user learn their Nen ability in this way possess superhuman strength.

Unexpected situations can vary, but they are essentially the same as forced Initiation. The only difference is that with good luck, forced Initiation may not leave any injuries, while with bad luck, one may become a disabled person with Nen ability.

In this situation, those who can be forced to develop and learn to recite are undoubtedly people with strong will and talent.

Because people without talent cannot control their Initiation.

As life continues to slip away, they become increasingly weak until death.

This ensures that the existence of ideas developed in this way is also guaranteed by a certain level of military force.

Finally, there is the ability to spontaneously Initiation, which is extremely rare.

Kevin only knows two people to this day: himself and Nion.

In the early stages of Initiation, they were practically ordinary people, using their Nen ability as if they were superpowers.

Because entertainment works are so scarce in this world, the internet is not yet fully widespread.

Therefore, when using superpowers, the advantages of Nen user cannot be fully utilized.

Those who can awaken their Nen abilities independently are the most likely to be completely powerless, but such individuals are extremely rare, even among the very limited circle of Nen users.

It can only be described as an isolated case.

In conclusion, 99% of Nen user are physically capable before Initiation Nen abilities.

Kevin's drug brought about another way: painless and harmless Initiation, a condition that is almost only achievable by the Nen ability of an extremely rare individual.

In other words, ordinary people can also Initiation, even without any special talent.

But the reason why ordinary people are ordinary is because they lack talent, are unremarkable, and even their thoughts are those of ordinary, everyday people.

It would take a considerable amount of time just to teach them the Four Major Principles, and they would definitely slack off.

This is modern society. To expect ordinary people to train day after day for decades because of some so-called strength is an extremely impossible delusion.

Fortunately, Nosra Manor is not a normal place.

The high salaries and overall atmosphere that come with learning Nen ability at least allow the maids and servants here to maintain a certain level of ambition.

Although slow.

But over the past year or two, they have learned the Four Major Principles and successfully built their Nen ability.

Unexpectedly, even constructing Nen ability would take them a significant amount of time.

In addition, their stable living environment and mindset have led to these maids' Nen ability being constructed purely based on their own preferences.

Simply put, it has no intensity whatsoever; it's all entertainment.

They used the Nen ability as a useful tool, a convenient superpower or something similar.

This has led to the Nen ability of the Nen user within the Manor becoming somewhat strange.

In terms of strength, it can truly be described as garbage.

But you can't deny their fun, speed, or convenience.

Among the non-security personnel, the butler's Nen ability is already among the best.

Head maid Sophia is a doll enthusiast and a sewing aficionado whose family is a tailor.

She also harbors a hidden girlish dream.

Having become Manipulation Type, she naturally acquired the Nen ability to bring dolls to life.

With limited talent and being just an ordinary person, her potential was fully realized by bringing the dolls to life.

As a result, the doll had almost no fighting ability.

A classic example is Nion's personal maid, Alisa, Squala's girlfriend.

Her [Maid's Ritual], which allows her to Emission transparent hands, is also an ability with absolutely no combat capabilities.

Actually, if you have combat abilities, you'll find that they are quite strong.

The problem is that the strength of the hand is directly proportional to the strength of the arm.

As for Arisa, you can't expect a personal maid's fist to be very hard, even if it's imbued with Nen Aura.

Such cases were commonplace among the maids in the Manor.

But there's absolutely no problem in providing vitality to the Manor and making their work faster and more convenient.

Moreover, Melusineon and others actually like it very much, and even Bisky likes it very much.

Because Biscuit, Men Qi, and the others had all quietly increased the time they spent at the Manor.

After finishing breakfast, Kevin left the restaurant.

Killua and Gon had already finished eating and ran outside.

They couldn't wait.

As soon as I came out, I saw a couple being affectionate in the garden.

"It's Sister Alisa." Gon recognized the maid.

They didn't recognize the man next to them; they hadn't seen him before.

"Who are these two brats?" Squala, somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that the boss has brought in two more talented people from outside?

He had already figured it out; the two children were Nen user.

They are guests.

Alisa said.

"It's almost time, I need to get back to work."

Squala stood up, kissed Alisa, exchanged a few sweet words, and then they separated.

Then he looked at the two "little tails" behind him.

"What are you two brats doing following me?"

Squala couldn't help but ask.

"What do you do at the Manor?" Killua asked.

This person's attire was neither that of a security guard, nor a butler, nor a maid.

On the contrary, it's people like Basho who are special workers.

The problem is, Killua feels that his temperament is completely different from that of Basho and the others; simply put, he's not strong enough.

"Aquaculture."

There's no point in keeping this a secret, especially from the guests.

Many of the guests who come to the Manor will visit the Breeding Farm.

He's used to it.

It would be even better if we had help.

"Can we go with them?" Gon was very curious about everything here.

"Come on if you want, you don't look like ordinary kids anyway."

For ordinary children, Breeding Farm are quite dangerous.

Or rather, the entire Back Mountain Forest is quite dangerous.

Squala led the two men up the Back Mountain.

The two then realized that the Manor was much larger than it appeared.

We haven't entered the forest yet.

Then I saw a figure fly overhead.

"What's that? Someone's flying in the sky on a broomstick?! That's amazing!"

When Gon saw this for the first time, he exclaimed in surprise and pointed at the figure flying by on a broomstick in the sky.

Killua; he had never seen anything like it before.

Squala didn't even look up.

That's Shara, she's kind of my colleague.

As he spoke, Squala's face showed Resentment mixed with envy.

"Why can she fly, and ride a broom?"

This is clearly what they care about.

"Nen ability? Why do you find that strange?"

Squala wouldn't be surprised by any kind of Nen ability he possessed anymore.

"Is it possible to have such Nen ability?"

The two of them truly had their eyes opened here, witnessing all sorts of strange and unusual Nen ability.

"Why can't she have them? Girls always have some strange fantasies that are different from boys', and having Nen ability will make them like that."

Squala complained.

Shara was also one of the maids, and she was previously responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden of the Manor. A normal person might think that her Nen ability would be related to this, but things didn't turn out that way.

Her Nen ability is...

Can a Witch Ride a Broom??

That's right, Shara is not very old, only nineteen years old. She had already applied for a maid job when she was sixteen.

And she likes to be with Nion.

Nion believes herself to be a fortune teller, Shara believes herself to be just a simple witch.

A witch in entertainment works, specifically those featuring teenage girls.

Under these circumstances, her Nen ability transformed into the ability to fly while riding a broom.

Moreover, it's a strange kind of Enhancement Type.

I still don't understand why it's Enhancement Type. Is Nen ability really that complicated?

Squala was a little confused.

That one Nen ability —flying on a broomstick—exhausted all of Shara's potential.

And she's the only one who can fly on a broomstick.

What kind of witch rides a broomstick and carries people?

What was her response at the time?

This incident once made Nion think that the other party was a traitor, and it even caused a rift between her and Shara.

Because Nion really wanted to fly on a broomstick.

Every morning, you could see her riding her broom back and forth between the forest and the Manor, because she was also in charge of the care of some plants.

With Koto's notes and occasional remote support, Shara's job was much easier Squala's.

This was something that Squala once greatly envied.

Why is it that none of all these Nen user could offer him any help?

Doesn't anyone like dogs? It's fine to like cats too.

The only person I know who likes insects is also someone with dreams.

"Is Nen ability really that amazing?"

Gon couldn't help but sigh.

He felt that Nen ability was completely different from what he had previously thought.

Visiting Nosra Manor broadened my horizons.
