Chapter 51: Bisji's Test! Are You a Nen Exorcist? (1/5, Requesting Data)

Bisji nodded, a mischievous streak awakening in her heart; she flashed a wicked smile and said in a coquettish voice:

"Luo Ge, the gem you presented does indeed suit my taste, and I am willing to take an apprentice..."

"But~"

Bisji shifted her tone, drawing out the syllables, causing the two women, who did not know Bisji's character, to feel a sudden jolt in their hearts.

"There is only one gem here, so only one of you can become my apprentice."

"As for who that person will be, you decide for yourselves; I am fine with either."

Having finished speaking, Bisji looked at the three with great interest, eager to see their expressions, her face filled with a mischievous smile.

Luo Ge knew that Bisji had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and also knew she enjoyed playing such "provocative" mischievous tricks.

In the original story, when she first met the protagonists Gon and Killua, she also intended to prank them and sow discord between the two.

Later, seeing that their friendship was indeed deep, she ceased her ill intentions and devoted herself to teaching them.

Therefore, Luo Ge's expression remained completely calm.

Behind him, Machi and Shizuku's expressions changed; the look in their eyes directed at Bisji grew somewhat disdainful.

They were both intelligent people and naturally knew what Bisji hoped to see by saying such things.

Wasn't it simply wanting to see the three of them cause a rift in their relationship due to fighting over the spot?

【A fine bond】

【They don't look like siblings from their appearance; are they merely friends to each other...】

After waiting a moment, Bisji slowly lifted the tea from the table, took a light sip, and looked at the three with a touch more appreciation in her eyes.

After she spoke those few words, even relatives might fight each other before the face of profit; a physical brawl was not impossible.

After all, the fact that the Luo Ge Society would offer this gem to become an apprentice indicated that she was very important to the three of them.

However, the three not only did not argue verbally, but instead looked at her with cold eyes in unison, appearing as if they were united against a common enemy.

Bisji did not doubt for a moment that the three would later simply abandon the idea of becoming her apprentice and seek another path.

They were unwilling to damage their bond.

Her doing this was mainly driven by her mischievous streak, but it was undeniable that this was also one of her standards for taking an apprentice.

To become her apprentice, talent must certainly be adequate, but character is more important than talent!

If they were to fall out over something like this, she would not accept any of the three as disciples, and would return the gem.

She would just consider it spending some time watching a show.

Judging by the current situation, the conduct of these three passed the test, so accepting them as disciples would not be impossible.

Just as Bisji was about to speak, Luo Ge once again reached into his pocket and pulled out—

two 【Star Fragments】

"I think adding two more should satisfy your requirements, right?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Bisji widened her eyes, watching Luo Ge pull out two more identical gems; amidst her surprise, she was choked by the tea and coughed a few times.

Picking up a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, Bisji said with an expression of disbelief: "You actually have two more?!"

How is that possible?

"Are you perhaps a prince of some kingdom? Or the son of some high-ranking official?"

Bisji scrutinized Luo Ge up and down again, seriously suspecting that Luo Ge had a significant background; otherwise, how could he produce three premium-grade items at once?

Luo Ge shook his head and said honestly: "No, I do not have any background; it is merely that my luck was a bit better."

Hmm... drawing a 【Star Fragment】 counts as good luck, right?

Seeing Luo Ge say this, Bisji stopped digging for the root of the matter; after all, she never judged people based on their background.

Seeing Bisji accept the 【Star Fragments】, Luo Ge decided to go all the way and add another chip:

"If you feel it is still not enough, I can help you further."

Bisji was just about to announce that the three had passed the test and could become her disciples, but seeing Luo Ge say this, her curiosity was aroused again.

"No need for honorifics; just call me Bisji directly."

Bisji waved her hand casually; she did not like people using honorifics toward her, as it gave a feeling of distance.

But the greater reason was that being addressed that way always made her feel as if people were reminding her of her age.

"Then, what can you help me with?"

"Bisji, the reason you appeared here must be for the legendary Seven Wonders of the World within the Doroque Ruins."

"And I can help you remove the obsession."

Remove the obsession?!

Bisji narrowed her eyes, suddenly recalling something; immediately, a layer of nen covered her wine-red eyes.

【Gyo】!

Using 【Gyo】, Bisji clearly saw a column of white qi rising and dissipating above the heads of both Machi and Shizuku.

This was life energy constantly dissipating, a phenomenon normal people would have.

However, there was no such white qi above Luo Ge's head; instead, a relatively thin gas wrapped around his body surface.

This was the manifestation of a nen user.

The white qi is life energy, but it can also be called 【nen】, because the essence of nen is life energy that has dissipated.

Ordinary people cannot use 【nen】, so they can only let life energy constantly leak away, gradually aging.

Nen users can, through a basic technique called 【Ten】, wrap life energy, that is, nen, around their body surface.

This reduces the loss of life energy and, in a way, extends their lifespan somewhat.

【Misjudged!】

Biscuit thought to herself.

Since the three of them were young and had come specifically to become her disciples, she had subconsciously assumed none of them possessed Nen.

She never expected this Luo Ge to know Nen, though the details made it clear he was a novice.

However, being a Nen user proved nothing; the key lay in what Luo Ge had said.

Biscuit stared at Luo Ge and asked with some disbelief, "Are you a Nen exorcist?"

She had never seen such a young Nen exorcist.

Moreover, Nen exorcists were extremely rare; could they really be so lucky as to encounter one by chance?

Luo Ge's expression remained calm as he stated firmly, "I wouldn't call myself a Nen exorcist; I merely possess some means of exorcising Nen."

Seeing Luo Ge speak this way, Biscuit wasted no more time and immediately led the three of them out of the hotel.

Verifying Luo Ge's words was simple: take him directly to the Dolle Ruins and test him there, and the truth would be revealed.
