26 Spatial Lock

Sighing as he freed himself from his bonds Leon looked down at the gruesome wounds covering his body, ' Miliuki has talent, I actually felt some pain for a few of them and the smile was a nice touch it should be too long before mom brings in an actual subject. '

Bandaging his wounds Leon put his clothes back on before walking out of the torture room, ' I should start training, my control of Nen is near perfect and my reserves aren't anything to scoff at but I still don't know the limits of my Hatsu. So far I have Tempo Field and Soul Piece, as of now Tempo Field can be pushed to 50 meters and I can sustain it for about twenty minutes. '

Running deep into the forest Leon quickly cleared some trees forming a makeshift training ground, once it was up to his standards he activated Tempo Field. Trying and failing to push it past the 50-meter mark Leon moved on reaching into his pocket Leon pulled out two thin bracelets securing them on his wrist. After focusing his Nen on the bracelets Leon felt as if something was trying to suffocate him, trying not to panic Leon got used to the feeling.

The bracelets had been given to him by his father with the information that they were made out of a metal that stores Nen. Leon had never heard of such a thing but he accepted it anyway, ' I have about 25 % of my Nen available let's see how far I can go. ' With his Nen restricted Leon started to use basic Nen practice finding them harder to use and sustain than ever before.

An hour later Leon was drenched in sweat pulling on every last bit of Nen he had Leon lowered his right hand to the side before sending out a beam of Nen that blew away the ground a few feet away. Dropping to his hands and knees Leon grinned at the familiar pain of intense training, steadying his hands Leon took off one of the bracelets and the Nen stored returned to him.

With the surge of energy, Leon stood up starting his regiment again, every five seconds Leon would lower one hand before sending out a beam of Nen. As a specialist, Leon only had a 60% percent in emission but such a simple technique wouldn't have any backlash.

After three hours had passed Leon was forced to take a break, his head was threatening to break open and his mouth had perpetual cottonmouth. Meditating Leon wasn't in a rush to start training again, using too much Nen in a short amount of time could burn someone's life force shortening their life span by decades at a time.

-The Next Day-

Sounds of tearing flesh and bones breaking echoed through the forest as Leon moved, steam rose from his skin as the wounds on his body healed. His training had taken a sadistic turn the main power of Tempo Field was his ability to somewhat control the speed of people and things within it. Using the ability on himself made his body do everything twice as fast or twice as slow, but his body wasn't strong enough to use it more than three times a day.

Wiping the blood from his eyes Leon's sighed before using his ability for the fifth time, gritting his teeth Leon's skin opened before it healed. Repeating this over ten times in a few seconds Leon was only able to last for a few seconds before he had to stop, ' I wonder how long I need to do this. I'm pretty sure my spleen ruptured at one point but nothing I haven't felt before. '

Standing up Leon looked down at his blood-soaked shirt, ' I need a bath. That gives me an Idea. ' Finding a river Leon stripped down before diving headfirst into the water, watching the water turn almost black with the dirt.

Cupping some water in his hands Leon tried an idea he thought of when he was training with Maha, while he could slow down objects within his Field he had never reached the point where he could stop something entirely.

' Maybe if I shrink the field, I could...' Forming a bubble just around his hands Leon poured more Nen into his Field before he let his hands drop leaving a small pool of water suspended in mid-air.

Laughing Leon jumped to his feet, " I can't believe I never thought of that before, and even though it's not useful but with all the training I'm doing I won't be long before I can use it. " Creating another bubble Leon tried to freeze the area the size of a basketball but all his excitement Leon forgot how low his Nen was.

Before he could stop himself Leon fell face forward, ' Damnit, I hope no one finds me. '
