The Ex-Assassin's Girl (Remastered 2020)

Chapter 23: The 200th Floor

3rd Person's POV

"Nen is the power that fires our souls. In other words, it is the strength of your will. The four exercises is a training regimen that stregthens your will. Ten, focus the mind on a single point, reflect on the self and determine the goal. Zetsu, to put into words. Ren, is to intensify your will, and Hatsu, is to release into action." Wing explained.

"You see Killua, Zushi tempered his refusal to lose during his battle with you. Now allow me to demonstrate." He added while Killua had a flashback on his mind about his battle with Zushi.

"Killua, for this demonstration, I would like to kill you now. Is that alright?" Wing said.

"Sure, no problem." Killua responded while standing infront of Wing and Zushi, while Y/N and Gon stand side by side with him.

"Let's do this in order. First, Ten, I focus my mind on a single point." Wing said as he form a horse stunt while his arms cross pointed on the floor.

"Zetsu, express your desired intent. Either mentally or verbally. (he pauses) I will kill you." He added and he closed his eyes. In a second, they saw a glowing light forming around in Wing's body.

Wing open his eyes again and narrowed it towards Killua and Wing's aura bursted around the room.

Killua felt that thing and he trembled into his fears reminding his brother.

As he cannot stand with it, he jumped up on the left corner of the room grasping on the wall like a scared cat. Gon feel it too, while Y/N and Zushi do their protective stunt.

Wing kept his aura back in his body. Everything went back to normal, and Killua jumped down on the floor.

"That was a state of Ren, with enough strength and focus the will functions as action or Hatsu. With your strong will, your opponent will back down. A more familiar term would be 'bluffing'. Ren hardens that which is soft, and you suddenly find that you lose your ability to correct an incorrect idea. Therefore, until your soul has fully matured, avoid using Ren. As it stands now, all of you should really focus on training your souls." Wing reckoned.

"Y/N, Gon, let's go now." Killua said after releasing his breath.

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

Then they exited on the room.

On their way back to their room at the Arena. Y/N was in deep thought.

"What was Wing's purpose on lying?" Y/N thought.

"He lied?" Gon asked.

"Yeah, what he said might be true, far as it went and his power is a real deal too. What do you think about it Y/N?" Killua said.

"What if he lied to us because we are not his student, and what if Nen is something that we are not yet ready to learn?" Y/N responded, and the two seem to thought about it also.

*Timeskip*

As they keep winning on their matches, they cleared the 190th floor, and they are about to advance now to the 200th floor.

"I guess I don't have choice." Wing thought to himself as he saw the three on the television at the arena.

(Elevator Dings)

"Sugoi!" Gon said as they step out at the elevator.

"Where's the reception?" Y/N asked.

"Maybe this way." Killua said and they started to walk.
