Monster.

After embarking on the airship again, I ended up meeting with Killua and Gon who were messing around.

"Sup." I said after we got near each other.

"Oh, its Mitsu." Killua said.

Netero, looked at me with his funny face.

"Mitsu, we were going to play a game and if we win, we are going to get a Hunter's licence on spot." Gon said this excitedly.

Looking at Netero's funny face, I asked. "Do you mind if I join in?"

"Hahahahaha. Follow me." He said before he began to walk in front.

Doing as he said, I followed after him until we arrived at what it looks like a training room. Netero went in the middle of the room and took his kimono and geta off, he stood only in his training gear. On his hand, there was a ball.

"If you manage to take this ball away from me, I will turn all of you into Hunters on the spot." He said, standing in the middle of the room leisurely.

Killua went in there first, confident that it would be easy to get the Hunter's licence. He began to walk in a certain rhythm and in circle around Netero. This was Killua's Rhythm Echo. A really interesting ability, that is why I was paying close attention.

I was not only trying to analyze the Rhythm Echo but also Netero's movements. I managed to learn the very basics of Killua's Shadow Steps. Now, I make less noise than a normal human, however, if it is compared with a Zoldyck's Shadow Steps it is like a joke.

I hope that observing the Rhythm Echo, I can learn it. After all, when it comes to techniques, unfortunately, I have none. Netero was only playing with Killua, he dodged every single attack Killua made. And the worst is that no matter how much I look, I can't find a pattern in Netero's movements.

He reacts in the very last second before he dodges the attack. While doing this, his face is screaming to get punched, if I was Killua, I would have already lost my patience.

"Killua, let's switch!" Gon said with an excited voice.

While they switched, my eyes never left Netero, each and every single movement of his, I'm trying to analyse and hope to find a weakness somewhere. In the end, Gon faced the same problems that Killua faced. The inability to hit Netero. After a few minutes of this, I said. "Gon, let's switch."

Gon hearing what i said didn't look too happy about it, however he still listened to my request.

"It is my time to shine." I said before I removed my top shirt and began to stretch.

'Since the airship did not had any clean suits, I had to wear normal clothes. Well, at least it is better than wearing a dirty suit.' I thought before I dashed directly at Netero and aimed a punch at the face.

But before it landed, I changed it to a kick. After this, I continued to feint my attacks for many times, without attacking. However, during my feints, I could see Netero's eyeballs following my movements like they were guided.

I went for a kick in the liver, to which he dodged by jumping over it. After that, I tried to elbow his face but he retracted it, making me miss. I extended my hand to grab the little ball, while he was in mid air but he kicked the ball and rendered my attempt useless.

The ball returned to his hands after he landed on the ground. Dashing towards him, I delivered a axe kick, however, he side stepped it but before he could do anything, I punched his belly with all my strength. For some reason, Netero decided to take it.

When my hand made contact with him, I could feel the bones of my hand cracking. This made me widen my eyes.

'I knew that the difference was big but not this big. I'm weak. Way too weak. But for some reason, I cannot take the smile out of my face. This world truly is the best.' I thought before I continued to try to take the ball from him for the next hours.

Six hours later.

'At some point, Killua gave up. However, Gon, Vergo and me never did. We kept going hour after hour and every single time I was reminded of the huge difference in strenght. Calling Netero a monster is a compliment at this point.

Well, I am only 11, so it is not like I can talk. A normal 11 year old will never have his strenght. But by the time I'm in Netero's age I will be way stronger. Probably in 7 years I will be stronger than him.' I thought with a smile on my face.

While Netero hasn't even dropped a single drop of sweat, I was at the limit of my stamina. Vergo and Gon had already passed out by this point. I opened my arms wide and dropped on the ground.

"Netero. I will hunt you down so that I can defeat you and prove that I am the strongest." I declared.

"Hohohohohohoho. Can you do it, though?" He challenged me.

"I can. After all, I'm meant to do it." The smile never left my face.
