Chapter 167 - Legendary Axel - Friends With Ekail

Gon and Killua, as well as Biscuit, sat on a lush green grassy field in Greed Island, surrounded by trees that reached towards the sky. The sun was shining, and a gentle breeze blew through the leaves, rustling them softly. Killua had just returned from his encounter with Axel in the Hunter Exam and was eager to tell Gon all about it.

Killua: "Hey, Gon! You won't believe who I ran into during the Hunter Exam."

Gon asked, showing an interested face.

"Who?"

Killua smiled and then answered.

"Axel. He took the exam with me, and we were the only people able to pass."

Biscuit listened as two boys asked with some interest.

"Who is Axel?"

Gon looked at Biscuit and then answered.

"He is a friend of ours as well as a strong Nen user."

Killua nodded, showing that he agreed with what Gon said.

Biscuit smiled and then asked a trap question.

Oh, how strong you boys think. Do you think that he is stronger than both of you?"

Killua showed a serious face and then added.

"He would take us with ease; I don't know your power fully, but I believe he can give you a fight."

Biscuit said nothing after hearing Killua speak like this.

But she hums thoughtfully. "Interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for him."

The trio kept their silence for a moment as Biscuit seemed lost in thought.

Finally, Biscuit stands up and stretches, saying, "Well, boys, let's continue with our training."

Gon and Killua nod, stretching in unison.

Axel sat at a small outdoor cafe, sipping on a beer, when his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Ekail. He answered the call and greeted him.

"Hey Ekail, what's up?" Axel asked.

"Not much, just wanted to check in and see how you're doing," Ekail replied.

"I'm doing well; thanks for asking. I've been spending a lot of time training myself and increasing my nen abilities."

"That's great to hear. Have you thought about what abilities you want to focus on next?"

"Yeah, I've been brainstorming a new ability that I think will be really powerful.

"İnteresting. You're always coming up with new ideas, Axel. I'm excited to see what you come up with next."

Ekail speaks as he giggles. Axel understood that it was in the character of Ekail to not take it seriously. Of course he is joking."

After the events on the island, fighting together against the creatures on the island put their lives on the line.

The friendship between Ekail and Axel increased a lot.

It is easy to remember that when Ekail first encountered Axel, he thought Axel was too narcissistic and said bad things about him to Navi.

But now things have changed.

"Thanks, Ekail. I'll keep you updated. How about you? What have you been up to?"

"Just working on some research projects and traveling to different parts of the world." "Nothing too exciting."

"That sounds cool. Perhaps we should plan a trip together sometime."

"I'd be up for that. Let's talk more about it soon."

Axel finished his beer and said goodbye to Ekail before ending the call. He felt motivated and inspired to continue his training and develop his ninja abilities even further.
