Alex sits on the ground training his Zetsu. He is strangely relaxed and feels almost like a new person. He and Menchi spent the entire night practicing Ten and Zetsu. Zetsu has the huge advantage of cutting off any aura leaving the body, which speeds up not only HP regeneration but also a fast recovery of AURA and Stamina.

Using this ability while meditating is essentially almost as effective as normal sleep.

Finally, Alex stops using Zetsu and takes a look at his [Destiny Watch], noticing, Oh, it's already 9 AM.

Menchi notices that Alex has stopped for now and says, "Your next fight is in 1 hour. You should really get your own damn phone. It is annoying that you gave the arena my number. Now, I am the one getting these messages!"

"You are right, sorry for that. After today's fight—which I absolutely can't afford to lose since it would mean losing our room as well—I'll get paid some prize money, so I'll buy one in the many stores inside the Arena afterwards, okay?" Alex responds, agreeing with her point.

"Okay, let's do it after your fight. I wanna check out the stores as well!" Menchi replies, her excitement visible on her face.

Alex, after dumping most of his equipment into his inventory and just wearing simple workout clothes, walks to the elevator on floor 199 to ride it down to floor 106, where he is scheduled to fight in an hour. Menchi stands beside him and slightly elbows him, asking, "So how confident are you?"

The elevator suddenly arrives, and they both enter it.

Alex, slightly annoyed, responds to her earlier question, "I'm fairly confident I can win against most fighters... against a few, I'll probably struggle if I don't use... that."

The elevator attendant, a rather old and experienced-looking woman, suddenly chimes in: "If you need to use your Aura to defeat the small fry on these floors, you better train some more, kiddo. If you can't advance without your Aura, that's also a sign that you lack basic fighting skills. Use this opportunity to get some fighting experience!"

"Thanks for the advice. It looks like you know quite a lot... even about Nen," Alex responds, noticing that Menchi also looks slightly surprised.

"I love martial artists. My father once fought in the 200 class! It's been ages since that time... still, I myself never get tired of the excitement of watching a battle between two Nen users, each using their abilities to fight against each other. The only reason I work here is to be able to get any ticket for the 200th class for myself. I got connections after all these years! I am excited to see you enter it as well. I'll definitely watch your fights. My only regret is that I was never able to enter it myself... It took me years to open my aura nodes, and even after decades of training, my aura is pitifully weak. Still, it somehow excites me to be able to train aura. Want me to rate your Nen ability, young man? It's my hobby!" the eager attendant asks Alex.

"You know, ma'am, that sounds fairly interesting, but my danger sensors are kinda kicking in right about now...." Alex responds.

The elevator door opens, and they arrive at floor 106.
