Really Nice (4/5)

Even setting aside the eyesight needed to see the whip's afterimages, the fact that he had caught the whip barehanded without suffering so much as a scratch already said a great deal.

In that instant, Neil gained a clear understanding of Moyu's strength.

But Moyu's act of deliberately releasing the whip, along with his words, "You pass," left Neil completely baffled.

Uneasy and uncertain, Neil reeled in his whip and retreated, widening the distance before staring intently at Moyu.

"What did you mean by that?"

"Exactly what it sounded like."

Moyu casually glanced at his uninjured palm, then walked forward.

Judging from Neil's initial offensive, anyone would normally conclude that he was an Enhancer.

Yet from the Nen techniques Neil had displayed, as well as his somewhat strange method of exerting force, Moyu sensed a slight inconsistency.

The form of the Nen wrapped around the whip...

It was neither the enhancement effect granted by an Enhancer nor simply Gyo wrapped around the whip. Rather, detached Nen had adhered to the whip.

That was why there was a long, narrow gap in Nen between Neil's body and the whip.

Moyu observed all this in a short span of time and concluded that Neil was an Emitter.

To verify whether that judgment was correct, he had reached out and grabbed the whip directly.

And the fact that he had emerged unscathed proved that his judgment was correct.

There were safer ways to verify it, of course, but Moyu did not mind bearing the consequences of a mistaken judgment.

This was training.

To better improve his judgment in battle, Moyu felt that actively shouldering pressure would be more effective.

Even if a misjudgment resulted in an injury such as a broken bone in his right hand, he would accept it calmly.

"Come again."
