Chapter 406

"Then, let's start by confirming what you can do right now."

Assuming Six is a Parasitic Nen Beast, this body has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is its replayability. Even if something manifested by intuition breaks, it can be repaired through Aura.

However, according to Biscuit, even ordinary Nen Beads cannot be regenerated immediately if destroyed. Destroying a Nen Beast is the pinnacle of a user's Nen, and it is also a great injury to the user's mind. Once the image of destruction is planted, it cannot be easily dispelled, affecting the ability of Materialization.

Setting aside Nen Beads that are premised on being destroyed, it is difficult for an average caster to reconstruct Nen Beads to a reusable level during battle. It is said that Six has first-class regenerative performance as a Nen Bead; it can recover as long as Aura is injected.

By the way, when I told her about the restriction that pain sharing cannot be stopped at will, she was even more surprised. Although a Nen Bead is a delicate ability, even a single image can affect comprehension, but it cannot be activated normally while sharing pain.

"This might be because Six is a Parasitic Type, and it manifests itself? First of all, the caster's race is different, so their mental structure might be different from humans."

Conversely, the disadvantage is that the ability to materialize and regenerate is always active. If the amount of Aura sent is increased, the wound heals faster; if it is decreased, there will be a certain degree of delay.

It cannot be Extinguished or erased like ordinary Nen Beads. When the main body's Aura is exhausted, it will manifest itself. This is a clear weakness.

"Your Nen Bead operation type is 'Remote Control.' This operation allows the operator to be nearby and issue commands to the Nen Bead in real-time. The operation is flexible and precise, but the range of activity has significant limitations."

The further the caster is from the Nen Bead, the more difficult the operation and the more Aura it consumes. If it were an ordinary ability user, they would not be able to maintain the activation at that time at all, but in my case, due to the nature of always being materialized, the main body and Six are separated.

"If you improve your Emitter system technique, your range of activity will expand, but there are naturally limitations, so be careful."

Another disadvantage that can be mentioned is that the body does not change at all, so strength Training is meaningless. You probably won't age. No matter how much you can strengthen with Aura, the base value of the enhancement rate largely depends on the muscle mass of the base body. I want more muscle.

"……Hmm? What is that, you guess?"

I am afraid of Biscuit. Even when I am smiling, am I afraid that I said something offensive?

"Also, I want to know about the fragrance emitted from Nine."

People know very little about the ability of scent, and different people perceive scents differently. It is said that Biscuit smells like perfume. There is no special effect other than that, but to those who don't know, it is a mysterious ability, which will cause unnecessary caution, which is disadvantageous. It can be suppressed by Annihilation, but it is impossible to be Annihilated all the time.

Another ability that comes with Six is the ability of high-speed thinking. I don't know if this can be called an ability because it is an internal mindset, but I decided to list it as one of the abilities because this thinking ability does not come from the main body, but is a function that can be used through Six's brain. There is no downside to this. Overusing it will give you a headache.

The above is a series of abilities related to Six. Bisque said that although it possesses multiple abilities, it is not strange that a Parasitic Nen Beast mixes various thoughts of the dead in each generation of successors.

"Although it has the characteristics of a Parasitic Type, I think the basic performance is no different from a 'Nen Doll' or 'Alter Ego.' It is impossible if the caster is weak. I wonder how far the Four Major Principles can be used?"

The insect body can temporarily use the Four Major Principles: Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu. Perhaps Six, which is closer to the human body, has an advantage in learning Nen, and the speed of learning is much faster. If anything, the main body mainly learns how to use Nen by feeding back Six's senses.

"Can you use that power? You said you didn't have a master before, right?"

I considered it in my own way, but I couldn't clearly deny Biscuit's suspicion because this is an ability I created in my own way. I will explain assuming I will get angry.

The main body's specialty system is the Transmutation system. Its origin, "Sunset Honey (Strawberry Jam)," is also a transformation ability.

Transmutation is a system ability that changes the shape and attributes of Aura. It is similar to the Conjuration System that forms matter, but in the case of the Transmutation system, it is more fluid and better at changing the energy state. However, even if I was told, I didn't think of it at first.

Inspiration and feeling are the most important things at the beginning. However, even if you create the ability you want to create, it won't grow much, so it's better to have an ability that suits you.

What would you change your Aura into? After thinking about it, I came up with the nature of the body fluid spit out by the main body. The secretions of the poison glands in the fangs are highly toxic. I wonder if I can add the characteristics of this secretion to the Aura. This is equipped by your own body, and you are familiar with it.

The poison glands in its fangs can use several types of Poison, such as lethal poison and paralytic poison, which can Fix the body while maintaining consciousness. In addition, since it can also use formic acid, when combined with strongly acidic liquids, it may cause chemical burns and send the poison into the body through wounds. This is a cruel combination.

After thinking about it, a Beginner simply cannot use different attributes of different types of Aura. Even if it is called poisoning, looking back later, it feels like manifesting a toxic substance rather than a change in state. The truth is that even if I insist that it is a Transmutation type, it doesn't work for me now.

After repeated trial and error, and trying to find a technique that can be applied without creating special restrictions as much as possible, my Aura has certain characteristics. It has a lotion-like consistency.

The secretion it originates from is non-toxic. It dissolves well in water, and even if a drop of water falls into the water, it will turn the surrounding water into a sticky pool of mucus. When it becomes sticky and stirred well, it will harden into a cocoon and stick to it.

The ability to manifest that nature in Aura is "Sunset Nectar," and the result is completely different from what I originally expected.

But that doesn't mean it can't be used at all. I also tried various methods to see if I could somehow apply this ability to battle. I insisted to Biscuit that this mucus should help to deflect the enemy's attacks well.

Then suddenly Biscuit hit him. The sticky Aura made the attack slip, and the power was attenuated, but he still suffered considerable damage. Coupled with the sticky Aura emitted under his feet, my feet couldn't support it, and I twisted and fell to the ground.

You might think it would be better to Extinguish the Aura under your feet, but that's difficult. This Aura flows out from the main body and spreads on the ground. You can't just aim at a precise location and Extinguish it.

"It would be better if it appeared as a technique, wouldn't it? The Transmutation system is not as good as the Conjuration System, but it is a difficult system to learn. Can we do it?"

Thus began the days of Training with Biscuit.

"Hey hey hey, what's wrong! I haven't mentioned it even once!"

"Robbery...!"

Let Nine do push-ups as Training. Biscuit sat on his back. Nine was gasping for breath desperately, but he was crawling on the ground and couldn't get up. That's because it prohibits enhancement just in case.

Nine had to do push-ups with Biscuit on his back using only the muscle strength of his slender arms. By the way, since Biscuit's body is in the tightened and compressed state of the original gorilla mode, his weight is also the same as a giant. I have no way to lift it.

"Well, even if you do this, your body is ineffective in muscle Training, so it makes no sense at all."

Nine looked at Biscuit with a face that seemed to ask why he was doing this. Because I wanted to see that expression.

This girl's name is Nine. Until recently, he seemed to be active in video distribution under the name Six. He didn't seem to be particularly particular about his name, so Biscuit used the name Nine and registered it as his player name.

When Killua brought her for the first time, the first impression Little Biscuit gave her was not a good thing. Her cute appearance and timidness like a small animal, but her clothes were a masculine fashion, and she seemed to have a man's consciousness, and she dared to use her Nen ability instead of perfume, all of which made me feel annoyed.

Biscuit has complicated feelings about his appearance. Otherwise, she wouldn't hide her true face and pretend to be a girl. The self that becomes stronger and stronger still wants to be a cute girl. The body compression and reshaping technique is the last resort I designed to achieve both.

Now I think I can proudly be proud of these two appearances, but even so, in front of the naturally beautiful girl who killed Killua, there are some frictions in my emotions. He naturally didn't intend to train him, thinking that if he encouraged Gon, who never cuts corners in the game, the kid would run away.

After watching the game, my impression of her changed completely. The amount of Aura displayed was shocking, allowing him to face Gon after enhancement head-on. The ability to control Aura is the same as a Beginner, but conversely, he is on par with Gon, who just finished basic Training through pushing.

Most importantly, the single-minded attitude he showed in the battle to pursue the strength of nine people is worthy of evaluation. Never back down, calmly analyze the enemy, complete the victory conditions, and don't give up until the end. He has the gem-like talent I felt in Gon and Killua. Not only in terms of Jewel, but also in human resource development, Biscuit's eyes shine when polishing, so he has no resistance to the cultivation of Nine.

After that, Biscuit learned Nine's true identity. Even Biscuit couldn't accept Netero's death. The death of the teacher I took care of, and the fact that the enemy was right in front of me, I was not unshaken.

However, this feeling is different from resentment. Nine was unnaturally frightened by something. Ever since Biscuit first met her, this sense of incongruity has existed. After the game with Gon started, that sense of fear disappeared, and I thought it was just a temporary emotional fluctuation, but after hearing the word "Disaster," Nine's fear appeared again.

There is also fear of Biscuit, but he saw that the underlying fear was directed at Nine's own power. He doesn't like to use the power of Disaster. Then I thought I could show a way other than hostility.

Nine vowed to Seal his power. There is no guarantee that Biscuit will not betray you. For her, whose life is targeted by many humans, this will be a choice that puts her in greater danger.

This is not a decision that can be left to others as Biscuit said. Nine himself chose to put down his power and learn another power. Even if Biscuit breaks his promise and attacks the sworn Nine, she will not regret her decision.

When I showed such great determination, I didn't feel that the work was unfair. Although this girl is the enemy of her former teacher, Bisque decided to take her as an apprentice.

"It's been a week since then. So far, things have gone so smoothly. I don't know if it's time to move on to the next step."

The basis of the Training menu is the same as that given to Gon and Killua. First, strengthen basic physical strength, cultivate a sense of unity of Aura, and at the same time develop the habit of Discovery of abnormalities and Collection of information by judging the situation comprehensively and quickly.

Nine's physical strength, even if he cultivates his body, cannot be expected to increase, so he focuses on Meditation Cultivation to increase his Aura control ability. Meditation is the first step in the first step of Training, but if you ignore this, you will not succeed. Anyway, I instructed her to carefully let the Aura in her body circulate, not to stagnate, and also to pay attention to wearing a uniform jacket.

On the other hand, insects are required to perform vigorous exercise, mainly to enhance their endurance. Overusing the body is not only effective for strength Training, but also effective for learning the sense of unity with Aura.

Even so, at first he underestimated its usefulness in actual combat, even if it was Training the power of an insect, but the ability possessed by the main body far exceeded Biscuit's expectations.

First, the poison in its fangs is simply a powerful means of attacking living things. Its greatest characteristic is its defense. In a state of Ken, he withstood Biscuit's heavy blows with ease.

The speed of Aura reinforcement is greatly influenced by physical strength. Generally speaking, among users with similar amounts of Aura output, users with greater muscle mass have a higher reinforcement rate. If you compare humans, you can make a difference in how you train your body, but when it comes to insects, it is difficult to make general comparisons.

Beetles have hard armor that serves as an exoskeleton and have a structure with muscles inside. You could say I was born wearing armor. Although Number Nine's body is already metallic, the entire body is covered in hard armor, and it is unknown how powerful it will become once Aura is added.

If it is a physical attack, as long as the Aura defense is timely, it seems the damage cannot get through. Conversely, it moves very slowly. I don't like it, even if it rustles like a cockroach. Letting him act alone, the gap is too large; it would be better to let Master Nine carry him on his back like before.

This is because I had already won against Gon before starting the training; to some extent, I knew it, but Number Nine already possessed the ability to withstand actual combat. Even if the Nen Bead itself is damaged, it can be repaired with Aura, and the insect body possesses an indestructible defense.

Biscuit said this to Number Nine, and he replied, "We still can't beat Netero." No wonder. The target of the comparison is wrong.

However, I don't know what will happen with training from now on. He already possesses such great strength, yet knows almost nothing about this battle. Biscuit does not know to what extent he will grow. That is why it is worth training.

Nine devoted himself earnestly to the training. His concentration was extraordinary. Even the remark he made earlier about not being able to beat Netero was not something she said out of mischief or madness. I seriously think I must be that strong.

No matter how much power is sealed, the status of the Master of the Heavenly Tribulation will not change. Endless power and numbers may become your enemies. The determination to oppose them is extraordinary.

This determination elevated Number Nine's Nen as a Vow. Nine uses a covenant to seal his own power, but it was originally a means to enhance his own ability, adding risk to himself. In this way, Number Nine's performance as a Nen Beast increased greatly.

Controlling my Aura through Meditation has improved significantly in just one week. The effects are also reflected in combat. Normally, it would take a Nen user who has just started learning several years to reach this level.

Along with Meditation and muscle training, training in fighting monsters around the Rock Area was also completed. Due to his self-proclaimed high-speed thinking ability, he was able to deal decisively with monsters that players toy with in various behavioral patterns. Even Biscuit was impressed by the recognition speed that surpassed physical reactions.

"But the next step won't be that easy."

"Ken" is an essential technique for increasing the offensive and defensive power of the whole body during cautious combat. Assuming the maximum real reinforcement rate is 100, in a Ten state, the offensive and defensive power applied to the whole body is only about 10. If you are in a Ken state, which is a technique that applies Ten and Ren, you can increase your whole-body attack and defense to 50.

This state is the foundation of hand-to-hand combat, and if it is assumed to be actual combat, it needs to be maintained for several hours. Even if you can maintain it for several hours in normal times, in actual combat, every movement consumes Aura, so the time you can maintain full power may be less than a few minutes.

In order to train Ken to a level that can be used in actual combat, the first thing is to extend the duration. Most importantly, you must train your body to use techniques to effectively utilize Aura to reduce wear and tear while making full use of its offensive and defensive capabilities. "Ryu" is the movement technique that makes this possible for attack and defense.

By using Ryu to move the 50 points of attack and defense power applied to the whole body to increase the reinforcement rate of specific parts. At the moment of attack, at the moment of defense, moving the necessary reinforcement rate quickly and accurately to the necessary parts is the most ideal, but the difficulty in actual combat goes without saying. Therefore, it is said that Ryu is the secret technique that forms the foundation of Nen battles.

"A little better, but your Aura control is still too rough. Because your power-up device is broken, your power output is high, but you sacrificed precision. You can't get a normal sense. And I can't break this habit."

Number Nine's Ren output is not stable; although he is able to maintain Tightness, the Ren and accuracy are greatly disturbed. According to the person himself, by 'releasing the body's restrictions,' his output fluctuation range sometimes expands several times, making him feel that he may have already exceeded the limit of his manifestation amount.

It is an abnormal state, such as continuing to activate Ren while repairing the body that is collapsing due to the recoil of abnormal reinforcement; the amount of Aura consumed must be enormous. It is thought that the insect providing it stores a large amount of potential Aura in its small body.

However, it seems certain that his instability has become a major burden in battle, and as he is now, he is simply no match for his superior opponents. There is also the issue of stamina, but most importantly, it is easy to teach the enemy the next move based on the Aura that fluctuates with emotions. Flow training to move Aura freely within the body is also important for increasing control.

Even so, it is difficult to completely get rid of habits that have become deeply rooted. Ryu training seems quite difficult. However, Bisque firmly believes that when he overcomes this training, Number Nine will achieve immeasurable growth.

Number Nine's limiter release method is similar to that of a person with enhanced abilities, showing a reinforcement rate that exceeds his own Aura manifestation amount. This person himself often uses it, rather than treating it as an application of basic techniques, but if it were a normal user, this blow would have the power of a finishing move.

If you can master its offensive and defensive movements, you should be able to improve fuel efficiency and gain extraordinary power in both offense and defense. Since he needs to be made as strong as possible in a short period of time, Biscuit will specialize in teaching for a while. You may not have time to participate in the game's strategy.

I feel sorry for him, but I am not averse to this instruction. Just as she provided free guidance to Gon and Killua, Biscuit tends to want to take care of those she likes. There is a not-insignificant feeling that I want to see how strong Number Nine will be.

"Well, let's start practicing Ryu tomorrow. It's dark today, I'll practice one more time, follow me."

Up until now, except for very short sleep times (many people are in a coma), they have been training constantly. Number Nine takes the initiative to train, and Biscuit accepts it within a reasonable range. Since the first phase of training has ended, Bisque is thinking of thanking him for his efforts.

The place Biscuit took us to is in the shadow of a certain rock place. If you roll a large Stone down the cliff, a cave will appear behind it. Take Nine into the cave.

A door is installed on the rock wall at the end of the side hole. Biscuit opens the door and walks through it. The space ahead is about the size of a studio apartment. The floor is covered with a thick carpet, and a set of Furniture such as a bed, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, and a sofa are placed. Several mushroom-shaped lamps are installed on the wall, emitting a faint light.

This is a private room that Biscuit secretly built from Gon and Killua. When the two were asleep, she drilled into the rock wall and brought in daily necessities and interior goods purchased at the Department Store in the magic city of Masadora. All products are sold in the form of cards, so they are discreet and easy to carry.

Just when Gon and Killua were struggling with training, Biscuit shrewdly enjoyed a moment of relaxation in this room. It is natural for a disciple to be sad, and there is no reason for a master to be with him all the time.

"Take off your clothes."

Nine, restless in the room, obeyed Biscuit's instructions. Take off your T-shirt, take off the belt on your hot pants, and even take off your underwear without hesitation.

Biscuit told Number Nine to relax, but he stood by in seiza on the spot. The clothes I took off were folded very neatly and placed next to me. It was a stereotypical seiza, appearing to bow with three fingers.

And following Number Nine, Biscuit also took off her own clothes.

"!"

Nine, who hadn't moved until now, suddenly stood up and wanted to leave the room. Biscuit, who had finished taking off her clothes, stopped him.

"Wait a minute. Who told you to run away?"

Nine was dragged to the back of the room. A narrow, separate room was built there, and a bathtub was installed.

Biscuit's purpose was to give Number Nine a bath. Since she started training a week ago, Number Nine hadn't taken a single bath. Time was so tight, he didn't need to. I had heard about Number Nine's constitution, where waste products like sweat and sebum return to the Aura.

However, Biscuit was more dissatisfied than Nine. As for Gon and Killua, they were both boys, so I didn't care about them, but I still made them take baths. Nine, who didn't even have the habit of bathing, was slowly accumulating feelings that a girlhood could not forgive.

"Even if you are good, it is not good for my mental health. Even if only Gawa is a pretty girl, please at least take care of your appearance. Next time you go to Masadora, buy more clothes and underwear." I will give it to you, so for now, you take a bath first and wash off the dust."

I understood this, but then Nine frantically closed his eyes and questioned why even Biscuit was naked. There was a reason for this.

Biscuit activated her Nen Ability, materializing a Nen Beast. The massage performed by the aesthetician "Cookie-chan" using her ability "Magic Beauty Salon" has high beauty and health effects.

And the beauty essence that converts Aura into a special lotion brings rejuvenation and skin-beautifying effects. This time, what I needed was this beauty essence.

"Here we go..."

Accompanied by the girl's unbelievable shout, a scent of lotion gushed out from little Biscuit's hands like a fountain, filling the bathtub. A lotion bath with excellent fatigue recovery effects was completed.

"I don't use this often because it's tiring. Thank you. Alright, let's get in."

Together.

Nine shook his head and covered his face with his hands. During training, whether it was spitting blood or pressing his face, his brave appearance of standing up was as pathetic as a lie.

Nine tends to be deceived by his appearance, but his gender as an ant was revealed to be male. Due to its ecology, it seems to have complex feelings for human females, and its erotic resistance is devastating.

"Hurry up."

I didn't need a bath, I stopped Number Nine, who started saying she was going home, and then immersed her in the lotion bath. Biscuit jumped into the bathtub at the same time. The main body is stuck in a separately prepared washbasin. Unless you take a bath in the main body, the fatigue recovery effect is meaningless.

The size of the bathtub is for one person, and no matter how small a girl is, physical contact is inevitable. The lotion heated to a comfortable temperature wrapped around the two bodies. Biscuit, who read Nine's reluctant attempt to run outside, shouted at him to be quiet.

"This is also part of the training! Your immunity to the opposite sex is too low! If you can't stay calm in this kind of thing, no matter how strong you are, you will be caught off guard!"

Yes, this was all for Nine. Only about 40% of people felt that Nine, who never overreacted, stimulated her sadistic heart and felt it was interesting.

Hearing that it was training, Nine stopped his movements. Opening the eyes that had been closed before, one could see the effort to overcome this dilemma. She looked like a female knight captured by orcs; although nothing had been done yet, she was already on the verge of collapsing. This thin book, which could hardly be shown in public, had a face as thick as a dictionary.

"You are a good boy... I will love you tonight."

Looking at Number Nine's expression, Bisque now began to feel that she might have gone too far. He didn't notice that his cheeks were slightly red because he thought embarrassedly: "What am I saying?"

And in the case of the nine people, it was boiling to the point where "slightly red" was not enough to describe it. Little Biscuit had a bewitching smile on her face, pulling closer the distance that was already close, and his head was boiling as if it were about to steam. And the water heater that reached its limit,

"... Meow..."

"Nia?"

"Woooooo!!"

Explosion. Nine began to act as violently as a dog that hates shampoo. Even Biscuit grew impatient with that momentum that seemed as if it would destroy the bathtub, and she pressed down on the bathtub with force.

"Stop running!"

"Gobobo! Obobebu! Obobebu!"

After this, Kooky-chan performed an absurd massage, and Number Nine was healed (to death).
