Now I've done it Critical hit! Ten points total!
Killua wins by a TKO That was beyond the level of what one could manage with willpower.
Maybe it has something to do with Ren, y'know, that thing Wing-san mentioned.
Yeah...
Ren, huh Do you think it's some name for a technique I don't know.
But as we move up to the higher floors, we'll probably face more people like that Maybe we'll find out if we fight them Then wouldn't it be faster if we just go find Zushi and ask him?
Oh yeah!
Ren is one of the four exercises.
And the four exercises are fundamental to all martial arts to instill discipline and develop character Learn Ten, know Zetsu, and through Ren attain Hatsu That's how you train for Nen Now you know!
Nen?
What's Nen?
That doesn't make any sense!
It doesn't?
Then I'll try explaining it again. Listen carefully Ren is one of the four exercises And the four exercises.. Zushi!
When in the world did you master things enough to teach them to others?
I'm so sorry, Master.
Gon-kun, Killua-kun...
There's an old cautionary proverb warnin that a smattering of knowledge may leave you wallowing in greater ignorance Similar to a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, right?
But I wanna know about this Nen stuff right now.
Even if you don't tell us, I'll find out without fail But I don't wanna get stuck wallowing around in ignorance.
So if you agree to teach me I won't be forced to go and learn what it is by myself And I wanna know too. Killua and I both came here to train Osu!
I understand. Please follow me.
Nen flame is the power that inflames our spirits in other words, the strength of our will The training to attain Nen is comprised of four processes We call them the "Four Exercises. And they are Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and finally Hatsu Now for the specifics.. First for Ten, which focuses the mind concentrate on your inner-se...
Killua-kun, will you please stand up?
My mind will be filled with thoughts of killing you... is that okay Sure, fine... You won't be able to anyway.
I'll do it in the proper order. First, Ten Now, Zetsu You can say it out loud or to yourself, it doesn't matter I am going to.. ...kill you So, that was Ren.
With enough strength and focus, your will Ren becomes action Hatsu.
This is how you can intimidate others You can make your opponent retreat without moving if you have a strong will However, Ren can often lead to obstinac and one might lose the flexibility to correct their wrong ideas Therefore one should refrain from its use before one's spirit has been perfected You two and Zushi sho...
Osu!
Zushi, it's okay now.
Osu.
Now Zushi, let's start today's exercise.
Osu!
As always, start with Ten.
Wing-san is really amazing.
Zushi's so lucky to have such a master But what he told us earlier, that was a lie A lie?
What he said sounded right.
And the demonstration of his power was very real But it still doesn't explain Zushi's toughness There's gotta be more to it Did you see the look on Zushi's face when Wing was teaching us He's in on it Now that you mention it...
But why would he tell us such a lie?
Because this Nen thing must be something very dangerous...
Before we leave Heavens Arena we're gonna have to figure out what Nen really is What's wrong, Zushi? Your Ten is agitated.
Master, why did you lie to Gon and Killua?
Lie? Do you mean the explanation I gave to them?
That's right.
The actual characters are.. Ten! Zetsu! Ren! And Hatsu And they have completely different meanings Did you lie to them because they aren't your students I wasn't lying.
"Nen," the flame, is a genuine discipline needed to train your inner-self.. ...to use the real Nen mind force True, I would never teach Nen to someone who wasn't one of my students That's why I teach "Nen" through lies The real Nen can be a dangerous weapon if put into the wrong hands For example.. You can transform a ...
That's my book and I haven't read it yet And that was my can of juice too Oh! I'm sorry.
This is unbelievable!
Gon and Killua have both cleared the 190th floor within a wee and without getting a scratch It does bug me a little after all It took me two years to get to the 200th floor On the other hand, you.. Come on, Killua, you were only six years old at the time, right?!
I know, but still...
It's here.
Anyone going up Yo!
Hello.
Killua-kun and Gon-kun have made it to the 200th floor already?
Yeah! I told you they're incredible!
Master?
I have no choice.
I wonder what the 200th floor's like!
I don't know.
When I got this far last time I didn't bother to register I just left and went back home Excuses me, Onee-san.. What is it like up...
I don't know.
Onee-san I said I don't know.
So you don't know? How useless.
Killua.
This place is really going downhill They don't even bother training their employees anymore Hey, Killua If they can't, they could have at least made a better choice on the looks.. Come on, Killua!
You god damn brats I shouldn't have underestimated Heavens Arena No Do you feel that, Gon Yeah. This feeling is...
It was worth coming to the 200th floor.
Someone down this hallway is using Nen What now?
We have no choice but to go.
If Wing is not teaching us real Nen, we'll just have to figure it out for ourselves Come on, let's do this No... I can't move... I don't wanna go any further.
Hey! We know you're there, why don't you come out and face us?!
You must be Killua-sama and Gon-sama.
The reception desk is right over there You have until the end of the day to register for your matches Please be aware that once it's past midnight, you'll no longer be allowed to register Oh, one more thing, from this floor up, weapons are allowed in the matches So if you have any... feel free to use them This energy.....
I can't tell.
You should also know that at this level, prize money is no longer awarded if you win.
Here you fight only for honor. I hope I've made myself sufficiently clear Hisoka!
What are you doing here?!
"What am I doing here?" Such an expected reaction.
Here's my answer... I came here because the cards told me to They told me that our fates were intertwined Just kidding Of course it wasn't fate. I planned the whole thing You used the internet to purchase your airship tickets, didn't you It's easy to search that thing and find out who is going to be when and where Afte...
Don't be silly.
I'm a regular tenant here on the 200th floor and have been for a long time now So, as someone who knows his way around here, let me give you a little piece of advice It's too early for you to step on this floor... turn back As for when you'd be ready depends on you Come back another time.. It's just too soon for you no...
Can you get past me?
Stop trying to force yourselves.
You are totally unguarded against his Nen It's like you've wandered into the snowstorm nake and don't understand why it's so cold You might die if you keep forcing your body and spirit Is this what Nen is?!
He can stop us by just thinking about it? I've decided to teach you true Nen.
So let us retreat from here for now But if we don't register by midnight...
what would happen to us?
Gon-sama, you may start again from the first floor.
However.. "However"?
Since Killua-sama did not register previously if he fails to do so a second time he will be considered as someone who lacks the necessary commitment.. And he'll be banned from competing here No way!
If we leave here with you for now, can we come back here within the day, by midnight?
That will depend on you.
This is Nen.
What was that bull about burning your spirit?
What kind of master are you, anyway, lying to innocent kids Killua-kun, you seem to be quite passionate about learning Nen.
Any particular reason?
Because it explains the secret of my brother's power.
Your brother uses Nen?
Yeah, I'm sure he does.
Okay, I'll teach you assuming you understand the dark side to Nen as well.
