Chapter 39
Title: We don't need weaklings...
….
Jax, who has now gotten rid of his glasses and is just calmly walking with his hands in his pockets. He is wearing his suit like usual, and no dirt or grime seems to be on his suit. He seems just like your everyday sharp businessman, but what amazed Killua, Morel, Knov and even Netero is Jax's Aura.
The Aura is massive and the other's (except Netero) face's being filled with nervousness, even though there is no negative intent towards them. But what shocked them even more is the smooth flow of his Aura which has a gold colour, from the toenail to the tips of his hair, Jax's Aura is simply perfect.
Jax just looks at Killua and says with a calm voice. "Judging someone's fight just in their Nen amount is very unprofessional, and that means that you have already lost. When you go into a Nen battle you are going into the unknown, you have no idea of your enemies capabilities or their Special Ability."
Jax suddenly smiles at this. "Though you should be cautious in a Nen fight. You must always go in it with 100% confidence in your victory…. Anyway as I asked before, by your estimate. Do you think I have a chance against her?"
Killua just looked at Jax, still amazed by his Aura. Finally when he hears Jax say, he comes off his stupor and answers with a simple. "Yes."
Jax just smirks at this, then he looks at Netero. "Well then… chairman Netero, are you up for a little game."
When Notero hears his suggestion, he just strokes his beard and has a bemused look on his face. "Hmmm… but I am an old man. So don't expect me to be too good at games. I will most likely just complain all day long."
"Hahahhaha." Jax just laughs at this. "C'mon now, don't underestimate yourself old man. I bet you could take on monsters that would terrify other people. I mean you used to be the strongest Nen user."
"Hohohoho, you overestimate my strength Jax -kun. I am nothing but an old man now, it has been more than five decades since I have been the strongest. Nowadays I don't even have half of my strength." Says Netero jovially, while acting like an old man.
Others could not see it, but what Netero and Jax were doing… is paying respects to each-other. Through this Netero has determined that the training and pain Jax must have gone through to achieve this strength is unimaginable. He knows that Jax has been going after strong beasts to fight, but he never guessed it would have ended up like this. Though he didn't know that Jax simply cheated and didn't spend one decade training nonstop.
Jax on the other hand, knew Netero's ambition through the anime. He respects the old man for his efforts into trying to become the strongest and his devotion to martial arts.
To others it seemed like two men being overly humble and joking around. But to Netero and Jax, it is a way of respect from the former strongest human to the current.
'It is undeniable, he is currently the strongest human and probably the best Nen user. His control over his Aura is meticulous which says something, due to his huge Aura. I doubt that even the Twelve Zodiacs and all their Abilities put together would be able to beat Jax over here. Hmmm… he might actually take away the fight where I am supposed to die. I am getting weaker and weaker every day, my power is waning, I want to find an enemy where I can give it my all against. I could fight young Jax here but sadly the Poor Man's Rose Bomb is already inside of me. So if my heart stopped… yeah… I don't really want to kill him.' Thinks Netero, analysing if he should really fight Jax or not. After all, Jax will definitely be an opponent where he can give it his everything. Though sadly, he has the bomb inside of him already so a fight to the death will be devastating… killing them both.
Netero just turns towards Killua and his jovial tune when he talks with Jax is all gone. Instead the old man has a hard and indifferent look on his face.
"It is very difficult to believe that giant chimera ants are devouring humans…. But now that we have verified it to be true. We must do all that we can to stop the damage from spreading." Netero looks at Killua in his eyes and continues saying. "Any weak link amongst the team will be absorbed by the enemy. Understand?"
Killua just answers with a simple. "Yeah."
His mind was analysing what the old man just said.
'Amongst these three a small group of elites and…' Killua looks at Jax. 'That monster. This also means that, we are… not included.' Thinks Killua as he comes to his conclusion.
But suddenly Netero decided to give the kids a little hope and drive as he threw two half tokens to Killua. "In the town nearby. We have unleashed two hitmen. Whether you fight them or not it's your choice. However…" Netero turns around as he starts walking away. "Defeat them and come find us, show us if you have the courage to live as a hunter."
The old man stops once more and hives Killua a look. "We do not need any weaklings, only the strong need apply."
….
Netero, Morel, Knov and Jax start walking towards the NGL.
Though Knov and Morel were very nervous in the beginning when they felt Jax's Nen, now they are more relaxed. Due to long exposure to it and also Jax's Aura never displaying malicious intent. Also now the Nen is back inside Jax so they can't feel it anymore. Jax… seems like… your normal everyday person.
They were obviously shocked (and a little terrified) of Jax but they strangely felt no danger at all from him.
"Quite some Aura you have there Jax." Asks Morel, now back to being himself after the shock factor of Jax's Aura Amount is gone.
Jax just smirks at this. "Yep, though it really took a lot of training to get here. I was always in search of the next big monster to fight. When I caught wind of giant chimera ants. I come and see for myself." Jax's smirk gets even wider as he continues saying. "Who knows… what new monsters I will meet next."
Immediately Knov and Morel, by hearing what Jax just said. They assume that he is a battle freak. Wanting to grow stronger by fighting creatures stronger than himself. Nen is a representation of one's inner self in a way. So it isn't surprising that someone like Jax who they assume to be a battle freak and a power freak got so strong.
That is when Netero decides to ask Jax. "By the way, what is the game that you want to play."
———————————————
A/N: The only reason Knov didn't break down like when he sensed Jax's Aura is because Jax's aura didn't have any trace of malicious intent in it. Unlike the Royal Guards who have that 24/7 due to their instincts. After all, what broke down Knov was the fear of getting captured and tortured to insanity.
