’To arrive here instantly and using spatial abilities?’
Knov was first shocked by Akira arrival, his glasses nearly slipping off his face.
As soone with spatial-type Nen abilities, Knov understood better than anyone how difficult spatial travel was.
His own Nen ability had similar effects, but it was nowhere near as impressive as directly tearing through space.
After hurriedly adjusting his glasses, Knov realized this person looked familiar.
This is...That legendary Akira?!!
Upon recognizing the man before him as Akira, Knov could no longer maintain his previous composure.
They had just been talking about him and now he appeared before them in the blink of an eye?
Originally, he thought they might have to wait for this last person.
Who would have imagined he’d show up so soon after the phone call?
How on earth did he manage this?
Akira scanned the group, his gaze finally settling on Gon lying on the ground and Killua, whose face was filled with hope.
The current Killua was completely different from when he had faced Chairman Netero earlier.
He seed revitalized, his entire deanor glowing with renewed energy, even his eyes brimming with anticipation.
"Now that you’re out, there’s no need to worry anymore. Leave the rest to us." Seeing Killua looking at him with such vibrant enthusiasm, Akira casually offered so words of comfort.
It was clear that Killua was extrely surprised and delighted by his arrival, as if he believed no one else could solve the problem except Akira.
"Yeah!" Killua nodded eagerly, his heart finally able to relax as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Chairman, is it really necessary to bring Mr. Akira into this? Isn’t this a bit of an overreaction?" Seeing this, Knov hesitated and turned to Chairman Netero beside him to ask.
Their current team consisted of four people, including two of the so-called "World’s Strongest"!
One was the forr strongest, Chairman Netero.
The other was the current strongest, Mr. Akira.
These two coming together just to deal with so Chira Ants?
Even if there were Chira Ants capable of using Aura, was it really necessary to mobilize such overwhelming power?
"Chairman, surely we don’t need to trouble Mr. Akira, right? The three of us should be enough?"
Morel, standing nearby, echoed Knov sentint, feeling the statent made perfect sense.
Although they had obtained so intelligence before setting out and knew about the appearance of Chira Ants capable of using Aura.
The fact that ants could use Aura was indeed surprising.
But given how little ti had passed since their ergence, how far could they possibly have progressed in their training?
After all, mastering Aura is a gradual process that requires long-term, accumulated practice to show results.
Unaware of the terrifying potential of the Chira Ants from the Dark Continent, the two didn’t believe the enemies they were about to face could be that powerful.
As veteran hunters, they naturally wouldn’t underestimate their opponents under normal circumstances. Caution is a fundantal quality every competent hunter should possess.
Yet, the short ti since the Chira Ants’ ergence had misled them.
Even though they had tried their best to imagine the Chira Ants as strong, They still didn’t think dealing with them required both Akira and Netero to act simultaneously.
Their assessnt wasn’t wrong—in fact, they were being quite cautious.
However, their limited knowledge about the Chira Ants from the Dark Continent prevented them from grasping the enemy’s horrifying potential.
Compared to humans, their abilities were frighteningly superior, showcasing just how unreasonable creatures from the Dark Continent could be.
"Morel, Knov, you two might have misunderstood sothing." Before Chairman Netero could speak, Akira shook his head, raised a finger and took the initiative to ask.
"Let ask you both a few questions first. Do you know who these two kids are?"
Hearing this, Morel and Knuckle exchanged glances before turning back to Akira, their expressions filled with hesitation.
"This... we really don’t know. Do they have so special background?" Morel scratched the back of his head, looking sowhat puzzled.
Could these two kids have so significant origins?
"Let introduce them to you."
"The child standing beside you who’s still conscious is called Killua—full na Killua Zoldyck!" Akira pointed at Killua beside him, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.
But his words shocked Morel and Knov.
"Zoldyck? As in the legendary assassin family, the Zoldyck Family?" Knov reacted fast, recognizing the surna of the world’s number one assassin family.
"That’s right. Killua is from the Zoldyck Family and he’s the most talented child of this generation."
This made Morel and Knov both turn their gazes to Killua, scrutinizing him up and down.
Killua took half a step back, feeling uncomfortable under their stares.
"Ahem." Chairman Netero cleared his throat, and only then did Morel and Knov retract their gazes, which had been looking at Killua like he was so rare animal.
mbers of the Zoldyck Family were even more mysterious than rare animals—most people in the world had never seen their true faces.
It was said that just a single photo of a Zoldyck mber could fetch a huge sum of money.
On the Hunters’ specialized website, there were long-standing bounties for information on the Zoldyck Family.
"So he’s really from that Zoldyck Family? That’s quite the background."
"What about this kid then?" Morel rested his chin on his hand, then shifted his gaze to the unconscious Gon.
If this silver-haired kid—Killua—had such an impressive background, surely his spiky-haired companion couldn’t be far behind?
Co to think of it, that face seed familiar...
Morel frowned slightly, feeling like he’d seen that face sowhere before, but couldn’t recall exactly where.
Maybe just a passing glance.
"You know Ging, the Boar of The Twelve Zodiac, right?" Akira glanced at Gon, whose face was practically identical to his father.
Though Ging was more unkempt—if he cleaned up a bit, plenty of people would believe he was Gon older brother.
Akira words jogged Morel mory.
That’s right!
He’d caught a glimpse of Ging face during the eting.
Though most of it had been covered by a scarf, the visible half of his face bore a striking resemblance to this kid.
A bold yet entirely plausible idea ford in Morel’s mind.
"Don’t tell ..." Morel stared intently at Gon, swallowing hard as he spoke in a disbelieving tone.
"That’s right. He’s Ging son!" Akira words confird Morel’s suspicion, leaving both n utterly shocked.
"He’s really the Boar son?" Knov sharp gaze vanished, replaced by sheer astonishnt.
This answer was truly unexpected.
"Hohoho, he is indeed Ging’s son. Everything Akira said is correct." Chairman Netero confirmation left no room for doubt—this was the truth.
"So, to summarize, these two kids—one is the most talented child of the new generation Zoldyck Family..."
"The other one is the son of one of the world’s top five Nen users—Ging. His child?" Knov spoke slowly, his voice growing more astonished with each word.
Because the backgrounds of these two children were truly extraordinary!
No wonder Akira had spoken to them like this—very few could compare to such origins.
"Now that you know their backgrounds, let ask you another question."
"Do you know how long it’s been since these two children first started learning Nen?" Akira raised a finger again, his expression and tone laden with aning.
"Well..." Both Morel and Knov activated their Focus simultaneously, carefully observing the two boys once more.
Despite the exhaustion from an entire night’s ordeal, a thick layer of Aura still enveloped Killua.
The unconscious Gon beside him was no different.
That layer of Aura was visibly dense and solid, clearly indicating the two boys had an exceptionally strong foundation.
Just from this alone, they had already surpassed many seasoned Nen veterans.
"Their strength isn’t low by any ans, especially with such a solid foundation. They must have undergone highly specialized training" Morel remarked.
His keen eyesight was sharp—just by observing the boys’ Aura, he could deduce as much and indeed, that was the case.
Having been taught by Biscuit Krueger, they could be said to have received guidance from a great ntor.
Among all the characters introduced so far, Biscuit was the most suited to teaching others Nen.
"Considering their age, they’re probably around ten years old. It’s impossible for them to have trained for too long."
"I’d estimate they’ve been practicing for at least three to five years to reach this level" Morel analyzed ticulously, settling on that tifra as his conclusion.
Knov agreed with Morel’s assessnt.
The reasoning was sound and it was likely the correct answer.
In fact, Morel had already accounted for the boys’ backgrounds and deliberately overestimated their talent.
Yet even then, he could only conclude they had trained for three to five years.
After all, reaching the boys’ current level was no easy feat.
This was a stage most Nen Users could never achieve in their entire lives.
Even the more talented ones would need at least a decade of training to get this far.
But unfortunately, their assumptions were wrong.
"No. From the mont they started training Nen until now, only a single year has passed!" Akira wagged his finger, delivering words that left Morel and Knov utterly stunned.
"How is that possible?! To reach this level after just one year of training?!" Knov could no longer maintain his composure, feeling as though his worldview was on the verge of collapse.
Since when had Nen training beco so easy?
"Is this true?" Morel turned to Killua, his deep voice laced with disbelief as he pressed for confirmation.
"Yeah. Gon and I started training in Nen together. It’s been about a year now." Killua glanced at Gon, still lying unconscious on the ground and instinctively recalled their training days at Heavens Arena.
Exactly one year had passed since then.
"Such terrifying talent... To achieve this in just a year—" Knov words trailed off, his shock rendering him speechless.
But his expression made it clear just how deeply this revelation had shaken him.
He had always considered himself among the more exceptional Nen Users.
After years of honing his Nen ability, his strength had surpassed that of most Nen practitioners.
He had every reason to take pride in his talent.
Yet now, faced with these two children, he finally understood what true genius looked like.
Compared to Killua and Gon, his talent seed utterly insignificant!
In that mont, Knov arrogance was completely shattered.
The man, who had initially looked down on the two children with an air of arrogance, finally realized the difference in their talents.
There is always soone better, beyond the sky lies another sky.
The only consolation for Knov was that his Nen ability was decent enough—perhaps he could still surpass these two kids?
Morel remained silent, quietly lifting the large smoking pipe from his shoulder.
He needed a smoke to calm his nerves and steady his shocked emotions...
As he unwrapped the cloth covering it, a gleaming large smoking pipe appeared before them.
’So that’s what he was carrying? A smoking pipe?’
Killua eyes flickered with surprise, finding it odd that Morel wielded such a large pipe as a weapon.
[A/N : this coming from a lil bro using yoyo as a weapon and his friend using a fishing pole of all things]
He had assud it would be a heavy weapon like a hamr—did Morel actually really fight with this thing?
"Haaah..." Morel took a deep drag, then slowly exhaled a cloud of white smoke that drifted lazily into the sky with the breeze.
Since there was no enemy, he didn’t bother manipulating the smoke with his Nen, letting it dissipate freely.
"So... this is what they call... geniuses, huh..." Morel spoke slowly, his tone asured.
After smoking, his mind had finally settled sowhat.
It was no wonder the two were so shocked—Killua and Gon talents were genuinely terrifying.
Wing had once remarked that Zushi was a one-in-a-hundred-thousand prodigy.
A year later, Zushi had indeed risen to the rank of Floor Master in Heavens Arena, a testant to his strength.
As a child, becoming a Floor Master was unheard of—reportedly, he had broken the record for the youngest Floor Master in Heavens Arena’s history.
Zushi’s talent was monstrous, yet it paled in comparison to Gon and Killua.
Wing evaluation of the two was that they were once-in-a-million geniuses—the absolute pinnacle! The gap between their talents was a hundredfold!
Wing’s assessnt wasn’t wrong either—their training progress spoke for itself.
Killua, as a mber of the Zoldyck Family, was naturally gifted.
Having such talent was only to be expected.
As for Gon—well, that went without saying.
As a mber of the Freecss Family, he had an ancestor—Don Freecss—who was still exploring the Dark Continent to this day.
And then there was his father, Ging Freecss, one of the world’s top five Nen Users, currently in his pri.
The Freecss Family potential might even surpass the Zoldycks’. Being born with once-in-a-million talent was only natural.
Top-tier talent, combined with training from a master like Biscuit Krueger—That was how, in just a single year, they had achieved such miraculous growth.
Morel and Knov were already elite Nen Users, yet even they were stunned by the two children’s potential.
Amidst their shock, a thought occurred to them simultaneously—If even the children of the Zoldycks and Ging were this alard, just how powerful the enemy they were facing?
At this realization, their expressions darkened, all traces of their earlier dismissiveness gone.
This enemy... was probably far from simple.
’Hohohoh, seems like they’ve finally realized it~’ Netero, observing the shift in their deanor, imdiately understood that their perspective had corrected itself.
Confidence was good, but blind arrogance and underestimating foes based on experience alone were unacceptable.
"To be honest, I had underestimated the situation before, thinking it was an overreaction."
"Only after Mr. Akira revealed their identities and talents did I realize the enemy’s strength far exceeds what I imagined!"
"Honestly, I can’t even begin to fathom how powerful an enemy must be to frighten a Zoldyck child and Ging child like this!"
Morel spoke while smoking, constantly calming his nerves, all the while glancing sideways at Akira.
From this perspective, it seed the silver-haired boy called "Killua" hadn’t been exaggerating—only Akira could easily defeat such enemies.
Before this, Morel had thought their numbers were excessive.
After this, Morel felt their numbers were insufficient.
Fortunately, Chairman Netero and Akira present gave him sufficient reassurance.
Now he actually felt grateful that Akira had joined their team.
