Jax's Thoughts...

Chapter 53

Title: Jax's Thoughts...

….

-Jax POV-

I just look at Camilla as she gets ready for the party. I know quite a lot about her from the manga. She is the 2nd Child of the current emperor. Or the 2nd Prince, the royal children of th3 Kakin Empire are all called a prince, no matter their gender. 

Camilla is the 2nd Prince, I must say though weak from my perspective, her Nen ability is really the only interesting thing about the succession war. I only went to bother her because I want to see if I can copy it.  My talent is at level 13 now… I know how good I am at Nen, I can copy even some pretty complicated abilities with two or less harsh limitations. Sadly I still can't copy something like Kurapika's chain or Chrollo's Bandit's Secret. They are too complicated and have too many restrictions for me to create, plus Chrollo being a Specialist makes it even harder.

As she goes outside together with White Goreinu, who now looks like a muscular bald human with a suit, after using <Texture Surprise> on him. 

I know what will likely happen, Camilla will meet her father and will ask what 'survival' means when choosing the next King. 

Obviously I already know what it means, the competition is obviously a deathmatch amongst the roya children. But killing a prince is still a serious crime so they can't do it in the open, they must be careful about it and do it in secret or let someone else take the blame. Though a barbaric method, in a way it also allows to choose the one most worthy of the position. Well in my opinion someone inheriting any leadership positions just be being born into it is absolute sh*t. 

But I guess a good old slaughter game is good enough to choose a mediocre leader who won't destroy the country just by existing. 

Still though, this succession will be a little boring for me. I can easily kill everyone in this ship, under an hour or probably faster if I went all out. Meaning that I can kill 200,000 people in an hour. Honestly even if they were Nen users I wouldn't have any more difficulty killing them than I do a normal human, after all a strong bug or a weak bug, I still just stomp on them.

Still though, I know that Camilla's Nen beast will have a Manipulation Ability, which is dangerous even to someone around my strength if all of the conditions  are completed… but not really that dangerous to me. Manipulation abilities  work on the principle of 'early bird gets the worm'… meaning someone already under control can't be controlled by someone else.  I am already under the Manipulation of my own Nen, so I can't be controlled by others. 

*yawn* 

This is my own condition, in a way it acts like a restriction but in my eyes it's a boon. 

Anyway, soon the Nen Beasts of the royal children will awaken. I will need to be careful about something like that. I know in raw power I am unmatched in the human world with only Nanika coming close to me… or maybe the calamities. But overall I am stronger than them in a contest of raw power, with no conditions to it. Because the five calamities are mostly considered dangerous due to their dangerous abilities against humanity as a whole.

….

After a while, Camilla finally comes back with her bodyguards and my monkey Nen Beast, I was just playing some RPG games and reading some comics. These things can give some good look into the imagination and possibilities that I might be able to develop with Nen. After all, my ability literally works like an RPG… well in reality it's nothing like it. The whole RPG feel of it are just the conditions needed for me to get the EXP and use it. Though I did use my love for games to develop this ability. It is actually more like a ritual used to make me stronger.

I just dispel <Texture Surprise> on White Goreinu. Turning him back to the white furred gorilla that he is. 

I just look at the Guardian Spirit Beast that has manifested itself between Camilla, who seems to have an annoyed look on her face. It seems like it's not directed towards me… that is as expected I did put a needle on her head after all. My Manipulation is a little more subtle than the usual, it simply creates a better opinion of myself on the victim, slowly turning them into an ally. 

Anyway I see that her guardian beast is the same form as in the manga. It has a cylindrical shape, in which the upper part is comprised of several tentacles with sunken tips that protrude outwards as if they were the branches of a tree. The lower part of its body extends like a great mantle and ends up forming a kind of skirt.

"Benjamin is as annoying as always. He should just die for my sake that stupid brother of mine." Says Camilla, in a trace of anger. 

But she stops as I break her out of her trace as I say. "I see… so you have developed a Nen beast. It must be the parasitic type since it doesn't seem to be formed by your Nen. Also you can't see it and since I can sense a couple presences like it, it must mean that it somehow has to do with the royal competition."

Though I say all of that, as if I just understood it. I actually got it from the manga… no one is THAT good at coming up with sh*t. But they don't know that, as Camilla and some of her bodyguards stop and look at me with shocked looks on their faces.

Camilla releases a sigh to calm herself down from her anger, and looks at me with a smile on her face. "If you were really my bodyguard, I would have this succession war as good as won."

As she says that I see that her Nen beast reacts in some way. Hmmm… is she invoking one of her conditions in getting control over me. That is highly possible… I just smile at this. "Anyway princess, I would be careful if I was you. You can't really hide your intentions too well, I already told you. As a Nen user, you will need to be careful about stuff like this. By just saying that, you already gave out that your Guardian Beast has its own category and is a Manipulator."

I can see Camilla's face cringe for a split second. I mean I understand where she is coming from. I am literally just nitpicking at everything she does and getting vital information from it. Well I am a VERY good detective with talent equal to one in a billion. So I can easily read her thought provoking and what she is thinking just by miniscule hits given away by her body language

That is the time when Nen beasts of the other royal children are fully awakened and start moving around the rooms… and they even entered ours. They range from different forms, one looks like a  giant mouse, one looks like a dragon and there are even some one eyed small creatures.

 The other people in the room except the princess who can't see them are on guard. The princess notices the other's reactions and immediately asks one of the bodyguards what is going on and he replies.

"Nen beasts are all around us… this has become dangerous princess Camilla."

I just smirk at this. Let's see how dangerous it really is.

*booom*

My Nen violently explodes out of my body and it immediately encompasses I look at the beasts and my Malicious REN turns my Aura completely dark.

I just look at the beasts and tell them to… "Scram!"
