Chapter 12: Nen

......

I did as told, 'Ren' slowly my aura started to surround the cup, Then! ...

And Nothing, no change could be seen in the cup, but what changed is how clearly I feel the cup and what's inside it, I can feel it like it's a part of my body like I can control it with just a thought, and I did just that.

Slowly the water around the leaf started to move, circling the leaf as the leaf started to turn in the opposite direction.

I kept messing around with it for a while, and I noticed that I have better control on the leaf, and the further from the leaf the less control I have.

'Interesting,' I then stopped my control and retracted my 'Ren', then looked up to silva who narrowed his eyes.

"You're a specialist, you'll understand what it means once you read the book. you can go now." He instructed as he handed me the book, I nodded then went back to my room.

....

I'm sitting in my room in a meditative position while outputting a light purple aura. I'm using 'Ren', I want to know how long I can keep it before I expend all the aura at my disposal.

I did read the book and there isn't anything I didn't already know, the only noticeable thing is a few recorded Hatsu with a full explanation about them though none of them are my father's or Zeno's.

I don't think I'll have any sleep for the next few days, I've been waiting for the time I can learn Nen for a long time that there is no way I'll waste time sleeping.

So far I've been keeping my Ren for about 17 minutes and seem to be reaching my limits soon.

I guess even though I didn't use Ren for the last 5 years, just messing around with it had some effect though small but probably what allowed me to maintain my aura for this long is my perfect control, which allowed me to have a perfect Ren.

After all, I didn't train aura manipulation for the last 5 years for nothing, And like that 5 more minutes passed before I reached my limit.

I directly entered Zetsu as to recover faster and thought to myself, 'Hmm, Gon got exhausted once he expended all of his aura for the first few times though It doesn't seem to affect me that much, does it have something to do with how much control you have over Ren?'

I closed my eyes as I waited for a certain amount of time for my aura to recover, I then brought a cup of water with a leaf on it.

Hatsu is first trained through the Water Divination exercise, by attempting to produce a more pronounced change which is what I'm trying to do, see how far my control can go.

And like that, a night of enjoyable training passed...

.....

Gyo: Focuses aura into a single part of the body to increase its strength, at the cost of leaving the rest of the body more vulnerable. Using Gyo on the eyes allows the user to see someone else's aura or other hidden objects.

In: An advanced form of Zetsu that hides the user's aura without forcing them to shut it off, making it perfect for sneak attacks.

En: Expands the user's aura in a spherical radius around them, letting them sense the shape and movement of anything that enters it.

Shu: Extends the user's aura onto an object that they're holding, enhancing its strength.

Ko: Concentrates all of the user's aura into one part of their body, making it incredibly powerful, at the cost of the rest of the body being completely defenseless.

Ken: A combination of Ten and Ren, using Ren to enhance the user's aura before enveloping themselves with it, providing greater defense than Ten.

Ryu: The real-time use of Gyo, shifting the concentration of aura between two body parts in quick succession.

....

"You'll attack me while I'll avoid or defend, you'll use 'Ken' until it becomes natural for you to fight with it. Once you expended all of your aura, you'll continue fighting me in your Zetsu state.

'Gyo', 'In', 'En', 'Ko' you'll learn by yourself, you can ask me if you have any questions. 'Ken', 'shu'. 'Ryu' you'll learn with me, start" Said Silva while still standing before me defenseless or so he would like the opponent to think.

There was a smile on my face as a sense of excitement came over me. I used Ren to enhance my body before enveloping myself with it using Ten.

I can feel the aura surround me as I used Deadly snake to make my hand and fingernails sharp.

I then concentrated a little bit more aura on my hands, I'll learn Ryu while I'm at it, though my height will get in the way, the point of the spar is to gain as much experience using Nen during a fight and also observing his fighting style to make mine more perfect.

I'll go all out since my attacks won't have any effect on him anyway even if I take the weights off, and I did just that, strike with the intent to kill.

I started running to almost instantly appear in front of him though I'm sure I'm too slow for him and that got proven as just when my hand got close to his chest, he instantly moved just enough to avoid me. 𝓯𝑟𝓮ℯ𝘸ℯ𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷ℯ𝓵.𝘤𝑜𝑚

I predicted that as I crouched and targeted his legs with a sweep kick while concentrating more aura on my attacking leg, but the gap is way too big as before I can comprehend what happened I felt his hand on my head as he said: "You still need to work on your movement a little bit".

I brought my head away and instantly retreated while keeping my eye on him, My face turned gloomy before returning to calmness as I thought of how much I hate the feeling of having no control, but soon...

I attacked again targeting every fatal area though none seem to hit the target, I didn't let that discourage me as I continued to adjust the aura around my body to get more comfortable using it in battle while also observing every action of his.

I gave up using my legs to attack and focused more on using them as support while keeping my hands as the main weapon which is in line with the second Hatsu I planned, and like that, a sleepless week passed...
