Wendy Goes To Heavens Arena

Nen and Nen

After Killua fought Zushi, the young practitioner of Shingen-Ryu Martial Arts, Zushi mentioned the four exercises. Wendy and Killua are about to learn the secret of those principles form Zushi's Master, Wing.

"Paying attention?" Asked Wing. "Nen, or flame, is a power that fires our souls." Explained Wing.

Wing got a marker and wrote something on the board. "In other words, it's the strength of your will." Said Wing. "And the four exercises...is a training regimen that strengthens your will." Said Wing.

"Strengthens your will?" Questions Wendy. "Training?" Questioned Killua.

"Correct." Said Wing. "Ten, focus the mind on a single point, reflect on the self, and determine the goal." Explained Wing. "Zetsu, to put into words." Said Wing. "Ren is to intensify your will." Said Wing. "Hatsu is to release it into action." Said Wing.

Wing pointed to the board. "Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu. The Four Exercises." Repeated Wendy.

"See, Zushi tempered his refusal to lose during his battle with you, Killua." Said Wing.

Killua grunts. "Now allow me to demonstrate, Killua." Said Wing.

"Eh?" Said Killua. "For this demonstration, I would like to "Kill" you now. Is that all right?" Asked Wing.

Wendy turned to Killua. "Sure. Why not?" Said Killua. "But you won't be able to." Said Killua.

Wing smiled and pointed. "Let's do this in order." Said Wing. "First, Ten." Said Wing.

Wing crouched down and crossed his arms in front of him.

"I focus my mind on a single point." Said Wing. "Zetsu, express your desired intent...either mentally or verbally." Explained Wing.

Both Wendy and Killua grunt. Wing looked at Wendy and Killua and closed his eyes.

"I will kill you." Everything was silent. Wing just stood there. Until Wendy and Killua felt this strong, immense aura.

Both Wendy and Killua gasp. Then Wing opens his eyes and the immense aura shoots out.

Wendy gasps. Killua gasps in fear. Wendy and Killua couldn't move. All Killua could do was stand there in fear.

Wings eyes were intense. Wing stepped forward and Killua disappeared and was in the corner of the ceiling.

Wings aura started to die down. "That was a taste of Ren." Said Wing with a smile. "With enough strength and focus, the will functions as action, or Hastsu." Explained Wing. Everyone looked at Killua. "With a strong will, your opponent will back down." Said Wing. "A more familiar term would be bluffing." Said Wing.

Killua dropped to the ground. "Ren hardens that which is soft, and you suddenly find that you've lost your ability to correct an incorrect idea." Explained Wing. "Therefore, until your soul has fully matured, avoid using Ren." Said Wing. Wing puts a smile on his face. "As it stands now, you three should really focus on training your souls." Said Wing.

Killua just stares at Wing. Killua sighs. "Let's go, Wendy." Said Killua walking away.

"If you truly wish to learn about Nen, set your sights on mastering Ten first." Said Wing. "If you master Ten, you no longer feel the pressure of an opponent's will." Explained Wing.

Killua walked off. "Thank you very much!" Said Wendy bowing down. Wendy ran up to Killua and caught up to him.

"Wait up, Killua!" Said Wendy. Wing looks outside the window and sighs.

"Zushi." Said Wing. "Yes, sir?" Said Zushi.

"Let's begin your training." Said Wing. "O-Osu!" Stuttered Zushi.
