Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

People who don't understand "Nen" will let the "aura" inside their bodies slowly leak out starting from the top of their heads.

At this moment, that was exactly the state Hawk was in, as seen by Moyu.

It was worth mentioning that Nen users could also disguise themselves as ordinary people by "letting their aura leak freely."

However, although anyone could learn "Nen" under normal circumstances, only a very few ever came into contact with it.

Moyu naturally assumed—

His cheap father was an ordinary person.

"Ten days or half a month, huh..."

Moyu stared at the morning light outside the main hall.

Hawk being away for half a month was good news to him.

During this time, he would definitely lock the Temple gates and not receive any visitors.

That way, he would have more time to refine his Nen abilities.

Moyu didn't linger in the hall. Instead, he went to the kitchen to quickly fill his stomach.

By the time he finished breakfast and came out, Hawk had already left the Temple, his style of action decisive and swift.

With Hawk gone, the vast Temple was left with only Moyu, making it feel especially desolate.

Standing in the empty courtyard after coming out of the kitchen, Moyu's mind inexplicably flashed with fragments of memories.

In those memories, perhaps because Hawk often traveled far, Moyu's predecessor had repeatedly begged Hawk to let him keep a cat or dog for company.

But for some reason, Hawk always firmly rejected Moyu's predecessor's requests, leaving no room for negotiation.

If the Temple could keep a cat or dog, it probably wouldn't be so desolate.

Come to think of it, the Release Pond didn't have any turtles or koi either...

Over time, it had instead become a Wishing Well, with tourists tossing plenty of coins into it.

Moyu shook his head slightly, suppressing the memories belonging to his predecessor. He crossed the courtyard, locked the Temple gates, then picked up a broom and swept the yard clean as quickly as possible.

After finishing Hawk's instructions, Moyu returned to his room, sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and began his daily training.

The "aura" flowing from within his body emitted a soft glow, steadily covering Moyu's skin.

Know Ten, Clear Zetsu, Refine Ren, Reach Hatsu.

These were the four basic techniques of Nen. Once all were mastered, one could begin developing a Nen ability.

Moyu had already mastered "Ten," so logically, he should next train "Zetsu."

However, the information about Exorcism he had just received gave him a deeper understanding of the Nen system.

Thus, a thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind—

Could he directly start developing his Nen ability, even if it only manifested as a rough form?

Moyu opened his eyes and murmured to himself, "What category would my Nen attribute be? And if I could develop an ability, what kind of ability would suit me best?"

Perhaps influenced by that Exorcism information...

Once this thought emerged, it could no longer be stopped, like wildly growing vines rapidly spreading to every corner of Moyu's mind.

Various images that didn't belong to this world, existing only in imagination, flashed through Moyu's mind like flowing light.

Then—

Under the reflection of the morning light, a miraculous scene occurred.

The "aura" on Moyu's body flowed like water into the shadow cast diagonally on the bed, or more precisely, merged into the shadow.

And the shadow, having absorbed the "aura," began to slowly bulge into a bubble.

Moyu witnessed this process.

He stared fixedly at the shadow transitioning from a two-dimensional state to a three-dimensional one, and a word inexplicably surfaced in his mind—

Soul!

This should also be what made him most unique in this world.

Combined with the influence of that Exorcism information, in a single thought, his ability was born, even if it was only a rough form...

"Pop."

The bubble suddenly burst, and the shadow instantly returned to normal.

From Mimicry to bursting, the entire process lasted only three seconds.

At the same time.

A sudden wave of exhaustion caused Moyu to collapse onto the bed.

"Was that just now... the prototype of my ability?"

Moyu silently stared at the ceiling.

Crossing the four fundamentals to awaken an ability—this should have been a cause for celebration and excitement.

Yet, for some reason, Moyu felt calm, with a strange sense that it was only natural.

At the foot of the mountain.

The wooden steps of the scenic area were old and worn. Hawk walked down them, each step producing a piercing creak.

"If we ever have another chance to speak, I hope you'll call from a quiet environment."

The phone in Hawk's hand emitted a woman's voice, utterly devoid of emotional fluctuation.

Evidently, the creaking of the wooden steps greatly annoyed the woman on the other end.

"I've got an urgent matter here, how could I be considerate? But still, after so long without contact, Cheadle, you really haven't changed a bit—always nitpicking."

Hawk replied as he continued down the wooden steps.

Even though there was hardly anyone around at this hour, Hawk's eyes habitually scanned the surroundings.

"Get to the point."

The woman on the other end clearly didn't want to waste time.

Hawk didn't drag it out either, cutting straight to the chase: "Cheadle, I need your help. If possible, I'd like you to come here."

"..."

A brief silence from the other end.

Hawk stopped walking, waiting for Cheadle's reply.

After a few breaths, Cheadle's voice came through, agreeing: "Alright."

"..."

This time, it was Hawk's turn to be silent.

Given certain unpleasant events in the past, he had mentally prepared himself to pester and beg, but he never expected Cheadle to agree so readily.

"Cheadle, I'm glad you're willing to help, but the fact that you agreed without even asking what it's about... honestly, it scares me a little."

"Something that could drive you to swallow your pride and shamelessly call me for help—I can guess even without asking."

A hint of emotion crept into Cheadle's voice.

Both disgust and anger.

"Hawk, people always have to pay the price for their mistakes. If I could have it my way, I'd wish the one who should have died back then was you, and the one who should die in the future is still you."

"Thank you for still being willing to help me, Cheadle..."

Hawk didn't mind her barbed words; instead, he offered a sincere thank you.

Hunter Association Building.

Cheadle, a member of the Zodiacs, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. Upon hearing Hawk's thanks, she took a deep breath.

She had lost her composure...

From a practical standpoint, venting disgust and anger through words during a conversation served no real purpose.

Cheadle reflected on her behavior, silently admonishing herself not to lose control again.

Then, in that same flat tone as before, she said: "It's too early to thank me. Also, please understand this clearly—I'm agreeing to your request in my capacity as a 'professional Hunter.'"

"Yeah, that's best."

Hearing Cheadle say that, Hawk felt much more at ease.

Cheadle gazed at the blue sky outside the window and continued: "Then go ahead and post the commission through the proper channels."

"Alright."

Hawk agreed, then paused before adding: "One more thing."

"Speak."

"Moyu has awakened 'Nen' on his own, under the suppression of 'God Script.'"

Hawk finished speaking and held the phone away from his ear.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The phone immediately erupted with Cheadle's frantic shout, and Hawk's wise move saved his eardrums.

He pressed the phone back to his ear and said in a low voice: "Cheadle, I found it unbelievable at first too, but there are always a few rare geniuses in this world. So I thought... why couldn't it be Moyu?"

"..."

Cheadle fell silent.

And at this moment, Hawk had no idea that Moyu had already manifested the embryonic form of an unknown Nen ability.

--

"Info: God Script—a technique that uses symbol-like characters as a medium to seal Nen within them, creating effects such as enhancement, control, sealing, or even temporary storage of Nen abilities. Due to its complexity and difficulty to learn, as well as its limited practical application in combat, very few are proficient in it."
