Open The Testing Gate

The old man was impressed and also amused. He called for Leon to follow him into the small house near the gate. "I see, so you are young Killua friend, I'm happy to hear that. I've worked here for twenty years, but this is the first time any friend has come to visit. Since I work here, I shouldn't say this but the place is rather lonely. No one ever visits. Well, a family of assassins is pretty unusual. So I suppose it's the price they have to pay. Anyway, I'm glad you're here. Thank you." The old man said and bowed

"Don't mention it." Leon waves his hand. He was ashamed to admit that he and Killua weren't friends and hadn't seen each other before. From the series, this scene with the pretend gateman, was similar to the time Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio came to visit Killua after he failed the hunter exam. But this time, he won't let that happen.

"The actual gate isn't locked?"

"Exactly. As you know, forcing your way through is impossible. However, I can help you train. With some training, it should be possible to open the testing gate. Here are the servants' quarters. It's getting late, so you can stay here tonight."

"Thank you, sir."

After the old man left, Leon lay on the bed and realized. If he wanted to be friends with Killua and help him through his journey, then he had to have the ability. Thinking about ability, Leon couldn't help being depressed again. Other people's chat systems are so awesome, meanwhile, his own system only lays around.

[Ding, Ding, Ding. Host, if you complete the basic training, you'll be rewarded with the golden body.]

The system's sudden appearance frightened Leon but after hearing what the system said, he was excited again and picked up his spirit.

Early the next morning, Leon woke up and ran some laps around the yard while waiting for the old man to call him. According to the system, he already has the golden body but he needs intense training to activate it.

"Hey boys, you're awake. Come and get some tea." The old man came out and called. He had woken earlier before Leon did. But didn't say anything as he watched Leon run about fifty laps. Once Leon was out of breath that he called him for tea.

"Good morning, sir." Leon greeted and sat down.

But when he tried to take the cup of tea, something was wrong. The cup didn't move an inch no matter how much strength he used.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, that cup weighs two tons. Your training has already begun." The old man said as he drank his tea with ease.

The more strength he used and the harder he tried, he felt his strength growing inch by inch. Five minutes later, he was finally able to drink from the cup. The old man has been watching the whole time.

"Now for the next step. This jacket weighs five tons. You'll wear it for the whole day and do anything in it." He gives Leon a jacket that was similar to a bulletproof vest.

After putting it on, Leon was unable to get up from the ground. The old man gave more instructions and left.

It takes a few more minutes for Leon to be able to walk while wearing the vast. But with every minute he walked in the vest, his strength would increase and the vest would become lighter. By the time it was evening, he could already run in it.

With this achievement, Leon was smiling from ear to ear. The Old man also smiled. It became night again, after dinner, Leon was ready for bed. But when he pushed open the door, it suddenly weighed ten tons. It seems like while he was training, the old man changed the door, and so, Leon has to work a few more hours before he goes to bed.

Lying on the bed he was so tired. Right at that moment, the system voice sounded. [Host, don't be discouraged. There are a lot of opportunities awaiting you, you just need to reach the requirements.]

The corner of Leon's mouth rose.

Is that supposed to be an encouragement?

Well, you've succeeded, because he was looking forward to it.

[Leon: Tell about the requirements that are needed to open the other benefits.]

[System 602: the first step is to completely activate the golden body.]

[Leon: Okay, good night.]

The next morning, there was a loud sound of someone falling from the bed. The time that the old man gave Leon the vest, he said for him not to wear it before sleeping but the other party was so tired last night that he forgot and selpt in it. Now when he woke this morning, unable to get up, he fell to the ground.

Another training began with a new day. This time, there were chains added to his feet that weighed seven tons. With all these items on, he had to do an upside-down pushup with one hand.

The rest of Leon's days were just training, eating, and sleeping. Three days later, he activated the golden body and was ready to open the testing gate.

"Are you ready?" The old man stood on the side and asked

"More than ever," Leon answered and did a little twisting.

The old man nodded: "Okay, good luck." He had watched the boy practice these days and was surprised at how well the boy was able to pick things up and adapt.

"Okay, here goes."

Leon put his small hands on either side of the gate panel. These small hands have more power than a few days ago. He also has more power than he hadn't imagined. Leon's eyes were certain as he took a deep breath. The power of his whole body was concentrated in his arms and legs.

After a few pushes, there was a crack in the gate. His first try opened five of the gate doors.

The expected difficulty did not appear, and the gate was easily opened by Leon.

The old man couldn't believe it.

Withdrawing his hands, Leon looks at the open gate and looks at his hands. His face was full of excitement. "This means I could go in now right?" Leon asks excitedly

"Hold on. I need to call the mansion first." The old man quickly came to his senses and told Leon to hold his horses.

Looking at the testing gate close again, the man smiled, turned around, and walked back to the guard room. Leon follows him in high spirit. He wasn't in the least bit worried about the closed gate. Since he was able to open it effortlessly, he could also do it again.

But then since there was no occurrence like this in the original series, Leon wasn't sure if he'll be able to meet with Killua.

The old diet number on the phone. Leon couldn't hear what they were saying but from the old man's response, he guessed that it wasn't going well. "Yes, I understand. I'm very sorry for disturbing you."

"You call the mansion?" Leon asked when the call ended.

The old man shook his head: "No, I was speaking with the Zoldyck family butler. All communication with the mansion must go through the butlers. It's very difficult to reach any of the family members."

"I guess you couldn't get through." Leon sighs depressedly

"The butler said that young Killua left the mansion this morning."

"This morning?" Leon repeated with his eyes wide open. Come on, he'd worked so hard just to open the gate. How could Killua leave while he was still asleep?
