4 Living in Meteor City part 1

[Nero's POV]

It has been ten long years now since my arrival to this world. And in that time a lots of things happened that were too many to count. But of all the things that happened only five incidents are worth mentioning. And they are {finding out the time line, meeting members of the phantom troupe, starting my cultivation technique, the tramp incident, and the attack of meteor city}.

The machine that transported me here did not specify what time line or where I will be at. After spending some time in the city and listening to people talking about the world. I estimated to be sixteen or fifteen years prior to the start of Gon taking the hunter exam. I came to this conclusion because one day when I was training in the Junk yard I heard some people talking about the 271 hunter examination. {I guess that would make me a year older than Kurapika}.

All things considered it was not a bad time to be in, because except for the people living here, there was no other external treat to my life I needed to worry about. Also this would meant that the phantom troupe didn't formed yet and that they are still in meteor city. My thoughts on this matter would be proven correct only a year later when I encountered one of its future member of the Machi komacine.

Though you could say it was inevitable for me to meet at least one of them since I am living in the same city as them. But there is a lots of people here and the lucky me I guess I encountered three of them. Machie, their leader Chrollo Lucifer, and Uvogin. And they were quite the weird people to say the least.

The first one I met was machi. She was one of orphan children living in the monastery. She came to the monastery about a year after me. I could only guess but from the looks of it she was four or five years old at that time. And just on her second day at the monastery an incident happened in the cafeteria. Let just say she knows how make the "don't f***k with me" point clearly.

The ogre boy that acts like the big shot of the monastery when none of the elders nuns were around {yah the same prick kid that tried to mess with me when I first came} tried to do the same shit with her. And in the words of a wise man "things ended well for him they did not".

She promptly ended his life with the Spork that she was eating her food with. She plunged the whole thing in to one of his eye sockets and the poor kid fell down like a ragdoll on the ground. {Yah I know I was there}.

Well as graphic and amazing it was to see a four year old kid killing someone three times their own size with a Spork was, no one in their bated an eye. They just observed it for a while and continued on eating their meals as if nothing happened.

[Strong Stomachs these people must have]

What can you do? Everyone in here have pretty much gotten used to sense like this , like it or not death is as common as it comes in this city. Everyone in this city accepted this fact. And so did me just from leaving here for one year. Even the nun in control of monastery just sighed and ordered someone to clean the mess when she learned of the event. This was a place where the strong survive and the weak die young.

Living in this city would leave you unsympathetic and desensitized to human seafaring. There is a common sentiment amongst all the people living here. All the residents of the city see each other as brothers from the same womb, yet at the same time would not hesitate to kill each other for the smallest slates. {Only one of us gets to kill one of us no one else}

The monetary itself worked as indoctrination facility. Providing hosing, and food for the children that lost their parents in the city or were too young to take care of themselves. It did that until they reach the age of ten. And in the mean time they teaching them and indoctrinating them with the ideals of the city. The phrase {we will accept anything you throwaway here but don't ever take anything from us} becomes a deep rooted seed in them.

But after the age of ten all of the children are free to choses between two options. One be recruited by the underground training camps facility run by the elders. Or two survive on your own.

[Nero] {I picked the later}

Being turned in to a zealot to serve this crazy the needs of this city was not in my plans. My plans were to stay in the monastery until I reach ten and go see the world. But that is jumping far in to the future.

A weak after the cafeteria incident machi stopped coming to the monastery. Nobody knew why she did that but then again no one bothered looking in to it. All I know is she was as deadly as they come. With no hesitation at all when dealing a fetial blow. It make you wander what she had been through to be like this at that tender age.

I started to do little training a weak after my arrival to the monastery. I wanted to know the full capabilities of my now improved body. And before testing the limits of my current body and how far it could go. I needed to get used to my sudden increase in strength first.

For a two year old kid who is barely two feet tall I was stronger than an average adult male. Everything was immensely enhanced tanks to the fusion with the fanlis blood-line (Flexibility, stamina, dexterity, and strength) all of them were astounding. And with the help of [Alfa] learning how to control all of my motor functions wasn't a hard task.

At that time out of all the gifts I integrated with the on only ones I could use were my fanlis bloodline, the perks that came with the blessing "unrivaled", and my soul AI [Alfa]. From the explanation given to me by [Alfa] I can only use the world traveler ability when I have a sufficient amount of aura in my body. As for HAKI I needed to trainee to attain it.

After I experimented farther with my abilities I discover a very amusingly happy and fun thing about my fanalis blood-line. I don't know if it was the evolution aspect that came from the amalgamation of my gifts or something else altogether. But my fanlis transformation worked just like a zone devil fruits work in one piece world.

[Nero] {I guess I would be classified as a magical beast in this world}

And finally the last of my gifts {heavenly tempering technique}. When I revised it all of the manual was downloaded in to the memory bank of [Alfa]. And from the analysis it run on the technique I found out that I could only start my cultivation when I only rich six years old. The reason being that it is the most optimal time to start cultivating. Until then with the help of [Alfa] we devised a training regimen.

This regiment was created after [Alfa] run a diagnosis on the first volume [the mortal volume] of the "HEAVENLY TEMPERING TECHNIQUE". It consisted of a birthing technique and a sires of light exercises aimed to increase agility, strength and stamina. All of this was to better condition my body when I started cultivating the real thing. Every morning for next four years I would go out in to the junkyard and train may body in preparation.

Time passed and a year after the incident with machi I met another future member of the spiders. This one was none other than the muscle brane of the group uvogin. I met him one while I was training in the junk yard. He was surrounded by a grope kids older than him. I think he was 13years old or so {I assume I am not sure}. There fight was intense but eventually it ended with him as the victor. He got out of the ordeal with just a few bruises and scratches.

(Meeting cine 3rd POV)

[Nero] {Even at young age he is a tough guy}

[Uvogin] "What are you looking at you little punk are you also looking for a beating?" he said looking at my way

Nero looked over his shoulders wandering who he was taking to.

[Uvogin] "I am taking to you there punk!!! Stop acting folly" he said glaring my way

Pointing at himself Nero said to him

[Nero] "Are you taking to me???" I said

[Nero] {why is he talking to me did I do something to him??]

[Uvogin] "Now I am going to give you one chance to get out of my face before I crave-stop you to the ground"

Nero did not know what to say to him so he just kept staring at him. He didn't want to comply with Uvogin's demands but he also didn't want to cause trouble and make him stifle stand out. This infuriated uvogin even more so he walked over to him to make good on his promise. Uvogin swung his fist aiming for Nero's head but to his surprise he suddenly found himself on the ground flat on his back.

What had happen was when uvogin throw the punch Nero used a stepping technique called {kouho and haiho}. By stepping forward with his right foot he pouted his weight on it and living his left foot free to pivot away to the side of uvogin. While he is in his blindside momentarily he used the momentum of uvogin to offset his balance easily laying him flat on his back.

[Uvogin] "What!!!???" he said confused

Nero looked down to his face and said

[Nero] "You know I didn't want to fight you but then again you are the one who threw the first punch so that gives me the deniability of self-defense. So it is night-night for you big guy"

After saying that Nero delivered a devastating straight punch down on to Uvogin's face. The poor guy was knocked out cooled for hours that day.

With the amount of training he had been through this two years, adding to that his experience from his past life and his unique physiology. Dealing with an overconfident punk like Uvogin wan not a big deal for him. Also this version of Uvogin didn't learn how to use NEN yet.

[Nero] "What a drag!!"

A few hours later

Two people woke up to where Uvogin was laid down by Nero. They were a young men in their early teens. One had a long black hair tied in a pony-tail and the other one had short bright blond hair.

"He is out cooled" said the blond one.

The other one swatted down and poled Uvogin's thank- top and said.

"Yow uvo" {slap}

"Wake up big guy" {slap}

"Quit snoring and get up" {slap}

"Rise and shine" {slap}

"Guys I don't think he is waking up" {slap}

"Maybe you should try slapping him harder" said the blond man

"God call"

{SLAP!!}

Uvogin "W..h..aa..t hap..end is that you Nobunaga"

{SLAP!!} {SLAP!!} {SLAP!!} {SLAP!!} {SLAP!!} {SLAP!!} {SLAP!!}

[Uvogin] "WHOUD YOU F*** STOP DOING THAT!!!!!!"

"I think he woke up Nobunaga" said the blond one

{SLAP!!}

[Sphinx] "...….."

{SLAP!!}
