The Applications Of Nen

The Mission

Hunters. They are people that dedicate their lives to the pursuit of adventure. Each have their own reasons, but they are all drawn to the profession by the same things.

The prospect of exploration and the promise of hidden treasures. It is a very popular profession, many look up to the strength of hunters.

But they have their own ranks. Many are just pretenders, trying to become hunters for fame and glory. Never quite reaching the strength of other, more serious, hunters.

And true hunters all shared a similarity, they all draw their strength from Nen. The aura that every living being possesses. The hunters learned to sense and manipulate it in various ways.

Nen, an energy powered by emotion and desire. No Nen user is an ordinary individual. Most of them can be described as eccentric, reckless, or even mad.

Having power over every other ordinary human makes one's mind wander in weird directions. Even before learning Nen, all Nen users were physically stronger than most humans. Their ego's and arrogance must be kept in check.

That is one of the jobs of the Hunter Association. To keep the more powerful hunters in check. That is easier said than done, most times they all do whatever they want anyway.

And they have little sway over the Nen users not associated with their association. Meaning that many Hunters are dispatched to either capture or kill 'misbehaving' Nen users.

And yet, the wider society remains ignorant of this strange power and the overwhelming conflicts happening around them.

The Hunter Association is also in charge of controlling the beast population in the continent. They commission hunters to survey areas and report information.

Right now, The sun was shining down on the beautiful land of the Kakin Empire. Its lush forests were beautiful and hardly explored.

It was a heaven for all nature-oriented hunters. Everyone loved some peace and quiet in the forests, where the only population was the trees and wildlife.

But, lately, these forests have been plagued by a new species. A type of predator that reproduced at unimaginable speeds. They were getting stronger and stronger depending on the diet of their queen.

The situation was somewhat noticed by the Hunter Association, they sent a few teams to scout and report the situation. Many had died, but the threat level was still unknown.

Right now, a two-star hunter was already dispatched to observe the ants. Kite, a tall man with long white hair, wearing a blue cap and casual clothes. He is a powerful hunter that already completed quite a few missions for the Hunter Association.

At his side are two, quite peculiar children. One white-haired with a wild hairstyle, his blue eyes seemed to reflect his boredom, but there was a certain weariness in them at the same time.

The other one had black hair, his bright brown eyes gave off a sense of innocence and naivety. He seemed to be free from all concerns, looking around the forest with great curiosity.

"Are we there yet?" Asked Killua, the white-haired child. Purposefully trying to get a reaction out of Kite.

"Almost... Our contact was supposed to be in this area." But it is hard to get a reaction from such a man.

"Oh! Who is he by the way?" Asked the black-haired Gon. His curious nature was something nice to witness. But there wasn't much fun to be had in this mission.

All of the teams that were sent before him were killed. Kite already knew the inherent dangers of this mission.

Right now, he is to try and meet up with a bit of an unusual hunter. One that was also quite unknown for his ranking.

A two-star hunter, much like himself. Meaning he had done quite a few important missions for society. It also meant he was proficient in a field.

He went by the name of Ashton, or Ash. Not much was known about that person, he rarely ever did any missions.

The only person that even knows Ash is Netero, the chairman of the Hunter Association. Who vouched for his strength and said that he could be helpful, if he agrees to help, that is

Kite didn't understand everything about the situation, but this Ash person apparently happened to stumble across this situation while traveling in different countries and islands.

And he's been observing the 'Chimera Ants' for a while.

That was about the extent of the information Kite had on his contact.

Kite obviously has his doubts about this person's credibility of helpfulness, but not everyone can gain the favor of Netero.

But he didn't tell Gon or Killua about his worries.

"He's a two-star hunter. Same rank as me." That was all he said. Although, Killua certainly picked up on his worry.

Dealing with unknown Nen users often leads to conflict. At least that was what the white-haired Assasin realized sometime during his time spent with Gon.

Gon, however, had stars in his eyes."OH! Does he know Ging too?!"

Kite just looked at him. "Who knows... Maybe? Your father is quite well known within the Association."

Suddenly, all three of them could see smoke rising up in the distance. It wasn't strange to see people making campfires. But this was quite a large one judging by the amount of smoke coming out.

All three of them got ready to engage an enemy, just in case. Even Gon, the hopeful kid that always has a bright smile on his face knows how 'unfriendly' some people can be.

They reached the source of the smoke quite quickly, only taking around 5 minutes to cover 10 kilometers. They could see a man, standing in front of a large fiery pit, it is as if someone dug a huge hole and filled it with lumber.

He is around 1.9 meters in height. A bit shorter than Kite, but a bit more muscular. He still looked average.

He turned around, looking at the three of them with little change in his stoic expression.

He has short black hair, neatly combed to the side. Not much could be seen from his deep black eyes. His nose is perfectly shaped. He is, by all accounts, handsome.

"Oh, Hello!" A smile appeared on his face. It stretched from far and arched perfectly. His eyes were also suddenly filled with a strange glow. Like a cat that just found a mouse.

It completely turned the handsome and calm look he had into something else.

A visage of pure insanity.
