~Thank you, Enjoy!!

"Whew!"

Watching Hisoka's retreating figure, Mika exhaled deeply.

Just moments ago, the malice and killing intent emanating from Hisoka was truly terrifying, making even Mika feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Is this Nen?"

Recalling that fear-inducing aura from before, Mika knew it was the power of Nen.

Those who haven't awakened Nen are almost defenseless against Nen users, as the aura of Nen has a special suppressive effect on other living beings.

"It's fortunate Hisoka didn't fight to the end. If he had used Nen in battle, even if I had managed to win by luck, I probably would have missed this exam. Then I'd have to seek other methods to acquire Nen ability!"

Shaking his head in relief, Mika suddenly recalled the fight before Hisoka used Nen.

Looking at his own arms and remembering his state back then, Mika gradually came to a conclusion.

"Could that have been Nen?"

Mika vaguely remembered that in the Chimera Ant arc, the human girl Komugi, who was loved by the Ant King, gradually awakened her Nen while playing Gungi with the King.

In this world, it seemed that those who reached the pinnacle in certain skills could spontaneously awaken Nen abilities.

"I remember that Nen training itself is about cultivating the spirit and will."

"Those who continuously research and practice a certain skill are instinctively engaging in this kind of training. When their level surpasses a certain boundary, they might awaken Nen abilities!"

"What about me? My level in the Transparent World is itself a pinnacle of martial arts, but because I didn't train in this world, there's some discrepancy."

"But when I fight with all my might against others, this discrepancy gradually aligns, and eventually, I'll awaken Nen, right?"

"So the feeling I had when fighting Hisoka earlier was the precursor to awakening Nen abilities!?"

Having understood himself, Mika's face once again wore a smile.

The state of being about to awaken Nen abilities lifted his spirits.

Turning his head to look at Airmid and the others, Mika finally noticed their condition.

"Are you all okay?"

At this moment, apart from the unconscious Leorio, whether it was Gon, Airmid, Mellie, or Kurapika who had arrived during Mika's battle, all four had uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

"It's nothing!"

Mellie waved her hand, indicating she was fine.

Airmid and Gon also nodded.

Only Kurapika, who had arrived later, was now deep in thought.

He was muttering to himself, "So this is a Nen user!?"

Clearly, Hisoka's display of power had plunged him into thoughts of vengeance against the Phantom Troupe.

Patting his shoulder, Mika advised, "Don't think about it, Kurapika! Once you pass the Hunter Exam, you can also gain this ability."

"So, for now, let's focus on the Hunter Exam!"

"That's right, we must pass the Hunter Exam!"

Hearing Mika's words, Kurapika immediately snapped back to reality.
