The Final Funeral X Specialization

"Ready?"

Nosra Manor at night.

On a lawn behind the Manor.

Only a handful of people were standing here.

This place has been decorated in a rather unique way, with strange ornaments placed in the center and items with distinctive ethnic decorations inserted on the sides.

On the central altar were bottles upon bottles filled with Fiery Red Eye liquid.

That's right, they are the same eyes that Pairo and his group brought back before.

There are a total of thirty-three pairs.

Rosana, Kurapika, Pairo.

All three were dressed in the traditional clothing of the Kurta Clan, with head ornaments resembling garlands for ceremonies, making their overall appearance more solemn.

Dressed in his most splendid Pairo stood in the very center.

Rosana and Kurapika stood behind him.

And the outermost edge.

Kevin, Melusina, Nion, and Shalnark.

Four close friends or family members stood here.

A night breeze blew by.

Pairo opened his eyes and stood up from his kneeling position.

They began to perform a sacrificial dance.

As he leaped, his Nen Aura began to surge, transforming under his control into one Butterfly after another.

He activated his Nen ability.

Funeral Butterfly.

The patterns on the wings of these Butterfly are exactly the same as those on the traditional clothing of the Kurta Clan.

They flew around.

It flew into those bottles of clear liquid.

It stood firmly atop the drifting eyeball.

"Snoring!"

Suddenly, Pairo shouted in a strange voice and stood still.

He immediately knelt down on the ground.

Kurapika and Rosana also knelt down.

All the Butterfly that had been perched on the eyes broke free of their wings and, carrying their individual eyeballs, flew into the sky.

Then it disappeared along with the eyes.

Suddenly the breeze intensified, with gusts of wind sweeping in.

The warm breeze seemed to carry a sound.

The Resentment has disappeared.

Melusina murmured, leaning against Kevin.

Like Kevin, Melusina, who is associated with the Resentful Eater Snake, is able to see Resentment quite clearly.

They witnessed firsthand how the Resentment in the eyes dissipated as the dance and the Funeral Butterfly danced.

These Resentment, in the process of dissipating, transformed into specks of light from the Nen Aura.

With a gentle breeze.

"The soul?"

Kevin muttered to himself.

In this world where souls truly exist, upon the accumulation of his immense Nen ability.

He seemed to have vaguely seen something.

Or perhaps he heard the murmuring whispers by following the sound of the wind.

However, these whispers were not directed at him.

Instead, it was poured into the ears of the three members of the Kurta Clan.

Tears streamed down the faces of Kurapika and his two companions who had closed their eyes.

They heard it.

I heard the voices of my clansmen, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

Whisper in their ears, thank them, and comfort them.

Gone with the wind.

Let's go first.

Kevin closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and silently bowed.

They left first together with Melusina.

The next day.

When Kevin saw Pairo and the other two again in the early morning, Kevin looked them up and down.

The three of them visibly increased their Nen power.

Perhaps due to their unstable emotions yesterday, the Nen they maintained on their Nen Aura also wavered somewhat.

Congratulations, you've put another worry to yourselves.

Kevin said simply, his tone not rising as if it were just a trivial matter, even though it was a congratulatory message.

"Uncle, my Nen ability has changed."

Pairo waved his hand.

Numerous Butterfly -shaped eyes flew out.

It is the red-eyed Butterfly that Pairo manifests after using the Funeral Butterfly to Funeral his eyes, except that there was only one pair before.

Now there are a total of thirty-four pairs.

A dense swarm of Eye Butterfly flew through the air, each eye staring at Kevin, making Kevin involuntarily touch his neck and get goosebumps.

"That was a bit startling coming from all of a sudden."

"But isn't this just as we predicted? At the Funeral, a Butterfly will appear in each eye."

Kevin wasn't surprised by the number of Butterfly.

This is because it happens when Pairo awakens his Nen ability.

"Not only that, the number of eyes watching the Funeral increased, and after the entire Funeral was completed, my abilities also became stronger."

As he spoke, Pairo touched his eyes.

"You've gotten stronger? You mean your Nen ability has leveled up?"

Pairo nodded; that was exactly what he meant.

Kevin stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

"Let's go ask an expert about this."

Although Kevin has been in this world for many years and has learned a lot about Nen ability, his experience in this area is definitely not as good as that of the older generation.

They led the group to Biscuit, who was having tea in the courtyard outside.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the group rushing over, Biscuit put down her teacup and asked.

Pairo then explained his situation.

"Is this normal? What kind of Nen ability would cause this to happen?"

Kevin asked curiously from the side, "Just consider it learning."

Hearing Kevin's rare display of eagerness to learn, Biscuit instantly perked up.

After all, this apprentice has become increasingly easy to teach as he has grown, and there's not much left to teach him; in some aspects, he has even far surpassed him.

Being able to show off now still shows a lot of vanity.

"Ahem, let me explain it to you properly then."

Biscuit pointed to Pairo.

"Your Nen ability is of the Specialization Type, and among the Six Nen Types, the Specialization Type is undoubtedly the most unique."

"The other five departments are all connected in the adjacent series, and some people are even at the end of two departments, whether they are leaning to the left or the right, it doesn't matter."

"When developing Nen ability, knowing your element and your position within it is advantageous."

At this point, Biscuit held up one finger.

"Unique Specialization Type unique in that it is unrelated to all other types, and no other type can possess the Nen ability of Specialization Type."

"The reason it's placed at the bottom is because Nen user of the Materialization Type and Manipulation Type can transform into Specialization Type if they undergo significant changes later in life."

"Such examples are extremely rare, so rare that they can only be described as isolated cases, and among these rare cases, there are no individuals who were not Materialization Type or Manipulation Type but transformed into Specialization Type."

This is precisely because the Specialization Type is placed at the bottom in the hexagon.

This principle can be used to deduce that the Specialization Type is closer to the Materialization Type and the Manipulation Type.

Many Specialization Type exhibit characteristics of both of these systems.

"Now we all know that the simplest way to find out what department you belong to is through the [Water Divination]. But the problem is, this is a rather secretive testing method, and it was created by our Shingen-ryu."

In other words, before this method appeared, people did not know how to distinguish their own department.

Without proper guidance and teachers, it is easy to go astray in one's subsequent practice.

"Aside from exceptional talent, most former Nen user mastered their abilities step by step through their own training. During this training, many Nen user come to understand their own characteristics and unconsciously adapt their Nen ability to suit themselves."

"But there is one exception: the Specialization Type. When you don't know you are Specialization Type, you will find that you seem to be connected to every type, which will disrupt your perception."

"Unconsciously, during cultivation, a bias was introduced, shifting the focus from the Specialization Type to one of the other five separate types, and this bias was then fixed."

It's important to understand that in the training of Nen ability, many people's affinities are not fixed from the beginning.

The example here is Gon and Qi.

For example, Gon is a pure Enhancement Type, whose nature was fixed from the beginning; that's his talent.

But Qi is different. Kiy is somewhere between the Enhancement Type and Transmutation Type, only slightly leaning towards Transmutation Type.

Therefore, when Water Divination, it manifests as Transmutation Type.

Experienced Nen user, such as Biscuit, can discover unusual Nen training preferences even with simple training.

Then, teach according to individual aptitude.

Someone like Qi, who is almost somewhere in between, can even forcibly switch his type to Enhancement Type during training and move towards the extreme.

This is possible.

It just takes a little time.

Most people would naturally feel that the losses outweigh the gains.

You'll find that many people's Nen ability are composite Nen ability, possessing characteristics of both types.

Those Nen user in the middle can easily develop complex Nen ability when building their Nen ability.

Kiy is another example.

Although he transforms his Nen Aura into electricity, he is definitely Transmutation Type.

However, the vast majority of the way he used electricity was to electrify himself to strengthen his body, providing various kinds of enhancements, and the effects were excellent.

Essentially, it's his talent, which also exhibits the changes characteristic of Enhancement Type.

If a lightning bolt is created purely by Transmutation Type, it relies more on the paralysis and damage caused by lightning strikes to fight.

This is due to personality; different Nen ability types, even the same type of Nen ability, can lead to different applications.

Biscuit went back to the Specialization Type.

"When you know you're Specialization Type, you have a significant advantage compared to other specialists because the Nen ability you create don't require you to consider any particular specialist category."

"If constructed reasonably, it's entirely possible to achieve Pegasus effects."

Unlike other departments, it has no restrictions.

This is partly why, when the Specialization Type was not yet fixed, it was closely connected with other systems.

"However, Specialization Type are rare and often appear in a few gifted individuals. The most gifted among them may even awaken suitable Nen ability on their own, based on their own ideas."

"For example Nion."

Nion was a very, very typical gifted person, a genius one in a million.

However, it is precisely because of his exceptional talent that such a genius awakens the Nen ability he desires.

However, such Nen ability comes at too high a price, almost completely negating its potential.

This resulted in an extremely powerful Nen ability that was awakened.

It brings her no benefit whatsoever.

"In the construction of Nen ability based on Specialization Type, there is a method of construction in which one sets a Restriction on oneself, and the condition for the Restriction is to acquire something."

"What is being acquired can be abstract, but it must be difficult, troublesome, and extremely difficult to accomplish."

"And once achieved, the Nen ability will be upgraded."

Simply put, it's about making your Nen ability grow.

However, Biscuit emphasized very seriously, "This is Nen ability that ordinary people cannot develop. Only those with very special personalities and extraordinary experiences can develop it."

Nen ability is essentially the sum of everything that has ever happened.

The closer it is to everything from the past, the stronger its Nen ability becomes.

After listening to Biscuit's story...

Pairo nodded knowingly.

"So after collecting the eyes of my clansmen, not only did I get more Eye Butterfly, but my Nen ability were also indirectly enhanced?"

Upon hearing Pairo's words, Biscuit didn't nod in agreement, but instead offered a slight reminder.

"Not necessarily. Collecting eyes, increasing the number of Eye Butterfly, and increasing the number of targets for your Nen ability are all conditions that align perfectly with the Restriction of growth potential."

"But the reason why your eyes have been modified to be more deceptive and stronger may not necessarily be the result of your act of collecting eyes."

Everything comes at a price.

If the goal is simply to collect eyes and then increase the Eye Butterfly, that makes sense.

However, in this case, it is necessary to add more layers to make the Nen ability even more powerful.

It seems that the cost has exceeded what was paid.

"Personally, I think it might be a reflection of the emotions that were originally etched in the eyes of your people, and that's how you're being fed back to them."

Even Kevin frowned at this answer.

He could understand what Biscuit had said before, and he could match it to the facts he knew.

This was the only point he couldn't quite understand.

"Resentment can be resolved, but there is one extremely difficult method to achieve: dissolving the Resentment."

"And your situation is quite special, Pairo. You are connected to those victims by blood. You experienced the tragedy together. You escaped and also shoulder the hope of continuing the bloodline. At the same time, you avenged your compatriots. Nen ability is strongly related to your race and the bloodline in your body."

"Plus your final sacrificial ceremony yesterday, and you must already hold a special position within your tribe, right?"

Pairo nodded.

His mother was the clan's priestess.

Of course, it doesn't really serve any purpose; it's just for offering prayers and mourning when a newborn is born or when a member of the clan passes away.

If you really want to say it has any special status, then yes, you could say so.

After all, in such a community, these things are passed down from generation to generation.

This is why Pairo awakened the Nen ability of the Funeral Butterfly.

"See? Now you know why your situation is so special, and that the Fiery Red Eye are indeed a special bloodline."

"In this situation, it's perfectly normal for your family to leave you some gifts after the Funeral."

"That was a spontaneous act when the will and soul finally disintegrated."

Pairo and the others nodded, seemingly understanding but mostly moved.

Only Kevin remained, deep in thought.

Because he thinks more.

He clearly experienced the entire event of the extermination of the Kurta Clan.

There may be another important reason for this.

That was the one who died last, and who almost absorbed the Resentment that had gripped the entire Kurta Clan —it was Mito.

He is Pairo's father.

He stirred up all the Resentment, so it's hard to say that the Resentment left on those eyeballs wasn't mixed with feelings of Mito.

As an expert on Resentment, Kevin believes this is the most important point.
