Togiri's Evil Heart

The sun was rising, but most Hunter examinees were still sleeping. A few examinees were awake like snails and just like snails they did their own snail business.

Somewhere in the airship, a boy with red hair was carrying a boy with brown hair. He put the boy in an empty room so that boy could continue to sleep peacefully without being disturbed.

"Do you want to ask me anything?" Togiri stretched his joints and warmed his body up by doing some push-ups.

"Hmm... Not really." Netero similarly did something like Togiri.

"Okay. Let's start" Togiri took his fighting stance. His left foot is forward, his right foot is behind and the knees bend.

Togiri's left hand was positioned like a jab, but lower at his chest and open while his index and middle fingers were pressed together.

His other fist was leaning against his stomach. Togiri's body was in a straight line making.

"Hard while being soft. Never moving and flexible. Not bad" Netero complimented him.

"Are you gonna put away the ball and take me seriously?" Togiri replied with an excited smile. "No" When the word left Netero's mouth Togiri attacked.

A Gatling gun of jabs was fired at Netero, but none hit. Netero dodged a dozen punches while balancing the ball on his head.

Togiri increased the speed, it looked as if Togiri had 4 hands and not two. Netero was still dodging. "Do you think that was it?"

Togiri started to use both hands, but that also didn't change anything. "Hehe" Togiri's laughed and then increased his punching speed once again.

The silent room slowly filled with the sounds of whips hitting something. Togiri's punches affected the air and walls of the room.

The faster he punched the thicker the air and the louder the room became. Netero couldn't continue to only dodge while balancing the ball on his foot and blocking some punches.

Togiri stopped his fury of hits and jumped away from Netero. "Sadly we can't fight at full power or else we would destroy the airship."

'His body is even stronger than the Zoldyck's kid. Only after decades did I build such a body. Seems like the kid has some secrets'

"Ho-ho-ho. Was that all?" Togiri smiled at Netero's taunt. "You will be the first one to see my new technique"

Togiri slowly started walking towards Netero. "Rythmn Echo - Togiri version." Next to Togiri four identical copies of him appeared.

"Unlike Killua's version not as many copies appear, but I'm not restricted to walking around you." Togiri attacked Netero and all of Togiri attacked too.

Netero dodged the few fists of the front Togiris but was hit with a kick in the stomach from the real Togiri in the middle that kicked through his copies.

Rythmn Echo cancelled and the other Togiris disappeared. Togiri used the short moment when his kick connected and reached out to the ball.

Netero threw a punch for the first time and Togiri was hit cleanly in the face and flew across the room hitting the wall. "Hah" Togiri blew his bloody nose.

"I didn't know you hit children"

"Are you a child?" This shocked Togiri. "What?"

"I'm a child. Are you blind?" "Do you think I'm stupid? Your body was built through decades of painful effort. Few people reach this level after dedicating their life to training"

'Shit! Does he know?' "What if I were to tell you that I reached this level in only 5 years"

"Then you would be the greatest genius ever born" @More like the greatest system with the greatest recovery effect@

"No, I'm not that's why I asked for you to become my teacher." Togiri relaxed his posture and bowed before Netero.

"...." Netero didn't answer and the room was silent for a few minutes. 'How long does it take to say no or yes?' @I bet he will say no@

"I see the good in your actions, but I also see the evil in your heart that you're barely keeping under the lid. If the lid exploded and you became a threat like Fang's older brother. I will kill you personally. "

"...That means yes?" Togiri was nervously awaiting Netero's decision. "No, but if you're able to fully control the evil in your heart then-"

"You won't regret it, master!" Togiri bowed. Netero punched him on the head. "I'm not your master yet you brat!"

*Knock Knock* Togiri looked at the door while Netero smiled, looked at Togiri and rubbed his stomach where he was kicked by Togiri.

'Seems like the previous generation will always surpass the old. The boy will shock many old monsters with his talent and desire to become stronger.'

"Hey! Didn't you promise that I would be first? You dirty liar" Fang pouted. "I didn't start. We were only warming up."

"You- take this!" Fang jumped at Togiri and both wrestled.

"Brats! How about fighting me at the same time?" Netero put the ball in his hand away. Fang and Togiri stopped and they smiled at each other and carried out their special handshake.

Fang stretched his feet " Ready?" " Ready!" Both boys attacked. 'Don't think! Dont think... Be.. unpredictable.' Togiri ran on the wall, jumped around from the ceiling to the ground and started to move like a rubber ball without a sense of direction and purpose.

"Fang SuuuUuuupEER CAAANNOOON BAAAL" Fang jumped at Netero holding his legs and started spinning like a ball.

Netero sidestepped Fang and observed Togiri when suddenly his back hurt. Fang double-kicked Netero's back and then held on to his left arm.

"Now! Togiri Drill!" Fang yelled and Togiri came flying while spinning at top speed. Togiri's fists were aimed at Netero's stomach.

"Not bad, but you are 1 thousand years too young to beat me." Netero kicked Fang away and redirected Togiri's attack at Fang adding even more spin.

Fang covered his hands with Nen and stopped Togiri. " Why do I listen to you Fang? You have the worst strateg-" Togiri held his hand before his mouth. He almost threw up.

"Togiri, are you okay?" Fang rubbed Togiri's back. "I- I'm good. Fight without me. I just need to lie down a bit."

Togiri was about to leave the room, but stopped after opening the door "Fang"

"Huh?" Fang replied. "You can use Nen, but don't destroy the ship" Togiri then stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.

'Do you think he will buy this?'

@Fang or Netero?@ asked Seven. 'Fang of course' Togiri replied. @Definitely. Why wouldn't he believe that the strongest guy he knows would throw up from a little spinning? Oh, and your acting is oscar level@

"Whatever. Better than wasting my time" @Said the guy that played cards for almost 3 days@

'How can I get the old man as a teacher?' Togiri ignored Seven's comments and walked slowly down the hallway in deep thought.

'I tried to ask nicely, respectfully. I tried to bribe him. I even tried to awaken his heart as a martial artist. Should I threaten him? Does he have grandkids?'

While Togiri was thinking of ways to force Netero to teach him and accept him as a student, Fang was battling Netero.

"You are a strong old man. But I'm stronger! That ball is mine!" "Hoh-hoh" Netero laughed stroking his beard. Fang stopped his attacks.

He closed his eyes and focused. Aura poured out of him as if a damn broke. Fang made the walls slightly crack with the amount he was releasing and focusing in his left fist.

"KO!" The technique Togiri used previously to destroy the podium of the Heaven's Arena. Since that day Fang mastered the technique better than Togiri.

"If you use that, then the whole airship will get destroyed." "Oh..Sorry!" Fang immediately dispersed the aura in his fist.

'Another little monster. He is even better than the other boy'.

"You and your friend are very different." Netero grinned. "Haha, yes. Togiri is always serious. Like this" Fang changed his face and posture.

"Fang don't do this! Fang, did you know how important blah blah is? Why do you never think before you act?" Fang started to imitate Togiri and that made Netero laugh.

"Brat. Do you want to become my student? I could make you stronger than the boy and your older brother." Fang stared suspiciously at Netero. "Really?" "Really!" replied Netero.

"You don't want anything in return?" "No, I only want you to help others. " Fang was looking at him even more suspiciously.

"I don't believe you! Togiri said it is super rare that somebody does something without anything in return. We aren't even friends or know each other more than a day." Fang breathed out his nose like a bull while his arms were crossed.

"Haha. He is not wrong, but I want to teach you. So how about it, brat?" Netero replied. "Okay! Let me ask Togiri" "Wait!" Fang was about to run out to find Togiri, but Netero's words stopped him.

"Only you. I will not teach Togiri and if you become my student you will need to stay away from him" Netero expression was serious.

"Why?" Fang was confused. "Togiri has darkness inside him. An evil that could destroy the world. It is hard to believe that a kid or a being has so much rage and hate inside it."

"...." Fang looked down at the ground and his usual happy demeanour disappeared. "Sorry kid, but you shouldn't be anywhere near someone like him"

Netero placed his hand on Fang's shoulder and tried to comfort him. "...." Fang looked sad. "Sorry kid. Come on. Let-"

"I know." mumbled Fang. Fang looked up directly into Netero's eyes. "I know! And I already saw his dark site! He held back! He didn't kill anyone and saved me!"

Netero was surprised at Fang's words. "He only used his darkness, because of me!" Fang started crying.

"If not for me, I...I-.. He would rather die than use it! Uwaaaahh" Fang now completely broke down crying.

Netero felt guilty. He felt like the bad guy making the boy cry. He comforted the crying boy.

"The boy had a dark heart, but no blood on his hands"

While Fang was crying his eyes out Togiri was eating a plate full of meat and thought up ways to blackmail Netero. That's how the airship ride ended.
