A Hunter Chronicle – 21

It had been a few days since then, but with a proper teacher, Gon and Killua's ability rose to new height as they tried to grab the ball of Naruto.

The trio was in a small court located at the center of the airship. It was a brand-new airship due to the little accident from before.

Naruto was jumping and flipping around as Gon and Killua dashed towards him at an impressive speed.

'Wow, they are getting really fast, but still nowhere near me, ahahhaha.'

Naruto laughed mentally as he continued to dodge them with minimal effort.

Netero and a few examiners were watching them with amazement.

Excluding Naruto, Gon and Killua had become much stronger during these pasts few days, breaking much expectation of a few spectators.

Netero stroked his small goatee as he watched them.

"I think we should have them check what type of Nen they have through Water Divination."

Satoz suggested as Netero nodded in approval but didn't want to interrupt the little game just yet.

"What about next round?"

Menchi asked but Netero cocked his head a little.

"What next round? Naruto already done it… I don't think anyone who has passed the boy test isn't Hunter material."

Netero said with a thoughtful expression.

"But Naruto isn't an examiner…"

Menchi protested but Netero dismissed her argument.

"Then I'll just make him an examiner, and everything would be fine."

Netero compromised as Menchi, Buhara and Satoz sweat dropped.

'It was that simple to be an examiner?'

They all thought.

Naruto just went from candidate, to Hunter, and finally examiner before the conclusion of the actual exam.

No one had ever done such thing before, and no ever will after the blond.

"Catch!"

Naruto said as he sent chakra into ball and threw it at Gon's.

It crashed into the boy's face, sending him backwards as Naruto grabbed the recoiled ball.

He tried to do the same to Killua, but the silver-haired boy had much better reflex than the previous victim and caught the ball perfectly.

"You okay Gon?"

Killua asked as Gon rubbed his reddish face and then rubbed the back of his head.

He was fine as he was sitting upright with a wide smile on his face.

"Hahah, I should have caught it."

Gon said as Killua exhaled and spun the ball on the tip of his finger.

Now he got the ball so their little game finally over.

"I think we need to go to our next Nen's lesson."

Naruto said as he helped Gon up.

The trio head out of the court and into a room down the corridor.

"Hey Jiji, you looked as old as ever. Where's your spring time of youth?"

Naruto greeted the chairman of Hunter association, who was waiting for them in the room.

Netero ignored the joke since he didn't get the reference.

He had taking great interest in the trio and decided to teach them Nen personally for the duration that they were on the airship.

"Your progress is remarkable. Astonishing… I need to check which types of aura your Nen is, so I can further teach you in your specialty."

Netero pointed out as the trio was confused.

He nodded a little from seeing their face and then continued to elaborate.

"There are six types of aura. They are Enhancer, Transmuter, Conjurer, Emitter, Manipulator and Specialist."

Netero explained what each type included.

Netero eyed his students as they took in the information and started chatting with each other loudly for a bit before returning back to the old man.

"So, which one are we?"

Naruto asked, but Netero stroke his beard.

"To determine your aura type, you will need to go through a water divination test."

Netero said and pointed at the three glass cups in front of the table.

He placed a small leaf on top of each as the trio looked at their glass.

"Now, Naruto is different than you two so I'm not sure what will happen when he does this. But, for Gon and Killua, if the water volume, taste, impurities or color changes, then you would be enhancer, transmuter, conjurer or emitter corresponding to each change. If the leaf moves instead, then you are a manipulator."

Netero pointed out but Naruto put one of his hands up.

"What about if it did one of each change like taste and volume at the same time?"

Naruto asked.

Gon and Killua nodded at the valid enquiry as they wanted to know as well.

"That never happened before… but I would assume you be the last and rare case, a specialist."

Netero speculated.

In all of his life, he never seen a Hunter who was in two different class or more simultaneously as the test would pick out the dominate trait.

It could still happen if multiple traits were equally strong.

But if anything else had occurred outside the boundary of other five classes, then the user would be a specialist.

However, there was the first time for everything.

Gon attempted to see his first with Kurama watching it from on top of the boy's head.

He placed his hands around each side of the cup and allowed his aura to interfere with it.

The water rose up a little and spilt to the side of the glass in little droplets at first before turning into a stream as Gon increased his energy flow.

Netero nodded with approval as Gon stopped.

"I'm an Enhancer?"

God said as Kurama snorted.

It had figured that much since the boy enhanced his own body with his aura, making his speed and power exploded into superhuman level.

"Yes, you are Gon, Enhancer allowed one to increase the natural ability of an object or one's body. With practice, you can deal devastating close-range physical attack. I already knew it before you attempted this test from watching you raced with Killua and Naruto around the ship. Speed enhancement is a high-level technique in that class, and you are on your way to be a strong Enhancer, so congratulation."

Netero complemented/congratulated as Kurama puffed up with pride.

He had taught Gon how to do speed manipulation efficiently using chakra training instead.

That had allowed the boy to bypass a lot of barrier with Nen's normal progression.

However, Gon needed to know the basic of Nen training as well just in case.

"Nothing happened… grrr…"

Naruto said as he channeled his chakra into the water.

He eyed Killua, who was doing the same with Nen, but no changes as well. Killua stopped and sniffed the water a little before tasting it.

"It's a little sweet…"

Killua said as Netero nodded and explained what Transmuters were capable of from his experience.

"Like converting aura into lighting and fire, sounds a lot like… hmmm."

Kurama added at the end of the explanation, equating it to elemental chakra without hand seals, thus it behaved like a bloodline limit.

"I'm actually good at playing around with electricity."

Killua said, telling them about his training where he constantly getting electrocuted.

Kurama just snorted at that.

"Why stop at lightning only? Learn all other element as well, wind, fire, earth and water! They all have their uses, and I can teach you how to manipulate them if you willing to learn."

Kurama offered as Killua accepted eagerly.

Netero approved the suggestion.

The chairman felt that this team would be powerful in the future as he could not see the limit of their potential.

Well, he couldn't measure Naruto anyway since the boy didn't really show anything unless he must.

He paid attention at the said boy.

Naruto was gritting his teeth in annoyance trying to accomplish the task.

Netero about to stop him, but something happened.

"Damn it."

Naruto muttered as the glass cracked under the constantly input of power and exploded outward, showering the table.

Everyone wasn't shocked at the shattered glass that was now littered the desk.

Instead, they were at the water, which still retained its form as if it was still held in a glass.

Naruto blinked and stopped transmitting energy into it, but its shape remained unchanged.

"Is that specialist?"

Naruto asked as Netero shook his head a little.

"I would say you are specialist before, but once you remove your hands, the shape should have deformed and returned to normal. It as if the water was stuck in such state…"

Netero said as he touched the water and felt as if it was solid.

He picked up the liquid sculpture and put it toward his eyes to see clearly with Nen.

"This is… not possible."

Netero muttered as he smashed the cup shape against the table, it didn't break or change at all, but rather, the table was dinted from the impact.

"Well, let's put you down as specialist if anyone asked."

Netero compromised and put the cup on the nearby shelves.

He was wondering when it would return to its liquid state.

It wasn't frozen, but rather, all the water molecules were glued to each other by an extreme force like the boy ability to stick to surfaces.

The trio was cheerful and continued their next lesson.
