Hunting

Chapter 10

Title: Hunting 

…

As soon as I am forced into a state of Zetsu and have nothing better to do I decide to sleep and rest my body… after all the last few months living on the wilderness, I have always slept between 4-6 hours a day. For someone like me who values the healthy eight hours of sleep, something like this is abnormal and unhealthy...

....

Twenty four hours easily pass like this. Though for the first time I truly feel weak without Nen. I know how dangerous that can be. This condition is also an extreme one, after all, no matter how strong I grow, I will ALWAYS have a 24 hours weakened state. That is the condition applied, whenever I upgrade my Nen amount or Talent, I am forced into a twenty four hours in a state of Zetsu unable to use Nen... but also in a state of hiding at the same time due to my presence being completely dulled by Zetsu.

I look at the ration bars that I was eating and... I couldn't hold my excitement. I was finally going to be able to literally feel my progress…

I then look at my watch… 3...2...1….

*fwoosh*

My aura nodes open all at once and now my higher amount of Nen seeps out… as soon as I feel that I use my (almost) two decades of handling Nen and control all of my Nen into submission without any problems. This... this is amazing. I can feel the power seeping out and the Nen feels natural like always. After all, this Nen didn't come out of nowhere. It is the Nen absorbed from others, and turned into mine. In a way Exp is the currency to raise my stats.

After thinking about that, I summon my tablet in my hand and click on the status app.

——————————————————

[JAX MILLER]

Age: 20

[Talent] Lvl: 7      (0/400 exp)

Exp: 0

Str Lvl: 5       (17/100 exp) 

Agi Lvl: 5      (15/100 exp)

End Lvl: 5     (21/100 exp)

[Nen Amount] Lvl: 6     (32/200 exp)

—————————————————

Going from level 5 –> level 7 in Nen talent might not seem much but, level five is average and level seven is the same as having the talent of one in ten thousand, that is rare, of course nowhere near the one in ten million that Killua and Gon had but... I am not far away from it. I will soon just go to another 'hunting ground' this one is called the Arahas Desert, it is known for its dangerous environment and ancient ruins. Maybe I should try to become a one star hunter, that will open more secret information to me and allow me to find more hunting grounds for exp…

Well anyway, I need to wait some more until the airship arrives.

....

Just like this three hours pass. I was just trying to see how my new talent is working.

REN…

*fwoosh*

My aura bursts out, I condense it and try to make move along my body faster. It listens to my will quite easily too.

Amazing… simply amazing… only three hours of training and I already advanced my Ren by a little… the advance was truly miniscule and unnoticeable by anyone other than me who has been stuck in a snail like pace of advancement…

My advance on the field of Nen was at such a slow pace that I only realised that I had advanced at all after months of training, I have been training Nen for thirteen years, if I had this type of talent from the beginning I would have needed only three years to get to the same level that took me thirteen years to reach.

Then as if a fire was lighted into my heart, I couldn't help but obsess.... I NEED MORE TALENT…

*ring*

*ring*

*ring*

But my thought process is interrupted when I hear the telephone pole ring. I go towards it and answer it. 

"Hello I am The Pro Hunter Jax, where will I meet the airship that I will fly on…"

Then a normal male voice comes from the other side of the phone.

"The airship is above the mountain. When you arrive at the top see us... signal us somehow and we will throw down a rope ladder for you."

I just answer with a simple. "Ok." 

I pack my backpack and things. Then I get ready for some mountain climbing. Also I need to test something about my [Talent] stat...

…

Then I get out of the 'secret' room and start climbing the mountain. To reach the top..

…

As I am half way the mountain I am not  really a professional mountain climber… but as I am climbing I notice that I am doing some things wrong while climbing..

Focus on my hips. ...

I need to try to keep one hip pushed up against the wall… I must have a hip close to the wall so it brings my shoulder closer…

…

When I arrive at the top of the mountain I have to stop myself from shaking because of excitement… 

The normal human has different amount of talent on different skills... for example someone might be good at cooking but bad at martial arts… that is normal… but me… 

In the beginning when I created my hatsu I noticed that some things like memory learning skills got worse!?  But my cooking got a little better… I suspected it since then but now… I understand… this is an unintended limitation on my Hatsu… it did lower my talent in some things to make them average level (lvl 5) but now… I literally have the talent of one in ten thousand… in everything I try… this ability just went from having good potential to out of this world. I will literally be able to advance limitlessly at anything I try.

YESSSSS... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

....

Then I have to forcefully calm myself because this literally means that I could defeat someone like Meruem at anything he tries, but only if I have my Talent stat at like 11 or 12…

I then see the airship and I signal them… they notice me and they drop a rope ladder from the airship. I immediately climb it and when I get on the ship I see a female flight attendant with black curly hair, blue eyes and heavy makeup pretty average over all, then she comes towards me with a good fake practised smile and says...

"Sir about your payment."

I just nod towards her and say.

"One million right."

She just nods and then I take out a check book and write the amount down and give it to her. Then I ask her.

"Is there a computer here."

She nods and then guides me to a room where there were around ten computers. I go inside the room and turn on one of the computers and put my hunter card on it… soon I the computer automatically goes to the hunters website only for hunters. Currently there are around 600 hunters all around the world. And I go towards the hunter list. Finally I arrived at the one I wanted and pressed contact.

AUTHOR NOTE

Hatsus even though they (most of them) are created by the Nen user there might be some obscure unknown abilities by the user themselves and this is one of them. This won't give the MC super intelligence or anything like that… it will just give him the talent to learn something.

P.S: Also I am trying to keep all of the MC's for the stories that I write cold and calculating. But I am trying to put something special for each of their personalities and they each have their own special personality quirks and differences even if they might seem similar at first look.

P.P.S: Chapters are getting longer...😑... I also did a double update today... (This was honestly mostly because of a nice review I got😒)

AUTHOR NOTE:

MORE THAN 40 ADVANCE CHAPTERS ON PATREÒN.
