Neferpitou, on the other hand, is worth a try.
"These are the items we found on his squad members. Take a look."
At this moment, Menqi interrupted Long's thoughts, and the woman handed her a package and a camera.
When Long opened his backpack, he found a stone slab engraved with ancient characters and a human head sculpture made of a special material inlaid with some kind of crystal.
The photos in the camera were all taken inside the ruins...
"Take the items out and hand them over to the Sori Group... You all leave for now. I'll handle the rest of the mission alone." After checking for a moment, Long looked at the five people and said in a deep voice.
"..."
The group exchanged glances and fell silent.
"it is good."
Only Menqi nodded.
There was really no point in them staying; if it weren't for Oboro, all five of them would have been wiped out...
Moreover, Fant and Gebvich's injuries are serious and require immediate medical attention.
Menqi had already given the two men some basic first aid, but it only stopped the bleeding and wasn't very effective.
"Don't be discouraged... Growth doesn't happen overnight. I chose the five of you because I believe each of you has great potential. Given time, you will all become strong individuals who can stand on your own." The expressions of the group were somewhat dejected, especially Rita, who was usually full of enthusiasm. She looked absent-minded and said frankly.
These five people are the best partners he can find right now.
The Fils family spent a lot of time and money on this, and Menchi's arrival was an unexpected surprise.
These five people are actually quite skilled... it's just that the difficulty of this mission was a bit too great for them.
It's like a silver player accidentally entering a diamond-level game.
Having completed the mission to this point, the group has already grown considerably, meeting Oboro's expectations.
Even if we take a step back, in the human world, there are definitely not a few Nen users... especially in countries like V5, whose elites are generally not exposed to the general public.
Some worldly rules simply don't apply to behemoths like V5; it would be incredibly easy for them to cultivate a legion of psychic beings.
However, finding teammates whose skills are on par with hers... Long felt that was too frivolous, not...
It's not about how strong he is, but rather about the fact that forming a team requires consideration of many factors, such as the members' personalities, the emphasis of their Nen abilities, and their backgrounds.
Even if you extend an invitation, the other person may not accept.
It will take more time…
The team is currently just a prototype, and Long is happy to train these five people.
Everything comes at a price... You can't get something for nothing.
Furthermore, even if we find a few with similar strength... it's uncertain whether they will obey orders.
A group like the Phantom Troupe... with several troublemakers, that's not what Oboro wants.
Immediately afterwards, Long led his team back to the outskirts of the restricted area and re-contacted their contact, instructing them to utilize subordinates with healing abilities within the Sori Group. Simultaneously, they arranged for a private spaceship to transport their teammates to a hospital in a nearby city.
The contact person did not refuse.
The efficiency of the Oboro Squad once again opened his eyes... They killed one of the three gangs as soon as they entered the restricted area and also recovered the lost items from the ruins.
Of course, the result was also disastrous.
It's clear that the team fought a tough battle.
"Do you want to continue? The mission can be terminated. I will report it to the higher-ups. It won't be considered a failure, and the feedback submitted to the Hunter Association will be satisfactory. In this way, although the merit points you receive will be a little less than expected, it won't be reduced by much."
The following morning, Oboro and his contact stood on the ground, watching the spaceship slowly ascend into the sky.
The contact glanced at Long beside him and said calmly, "To be honest... your performance has exceeded the group's expectations. After all, even national-level combat power has suffered losses. Even if the association sends some strong people, we don't think you can quell the situation within a month. There are still two groups left. It's unrealistic to completely stop them from taking away the resources from the ruins... We will try our best to cause them some interference and make them take less... That's about it."
“The time hasn’t come yet, has it? If I wanted to leave, I wouldn’t have stayed…” Long smiled gently.
His words surprised the contact.
"You're going to do it all by yourself?"
"Ah."
"Too dangerous..."
Long patted his shoulder. "Thank you for your concern... but I'm used to being alone, and I'm more comfortable in this situation."
After saying this, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and left.
"Okay... I'll arrange for some people to assist you, and temporarily assemble a small team." The man said hurriedly, watching Long's retreating figure.
However, Oboro simply waved his hand without responding.
……
Late at night a few days later.
A cliff near the ruins.
Ryou faced the cold wind and calmly looked at the four Nen users who surrounded her.
The moon was bright and the stars were few... With no trees to block the light, the white sun shone brightly, and the view was very clear.
One of them stood on the cliff edge, one foot on a rock, slightly bowing, looking down at him. He clapped his hands, "Tsk tsk tsk... I knew Steve and his gang had disappeared. Looks like you killed them..."
"Wow, someone important! I never expected to see you here..."
Long raised an eyebrow and looked up at the other person. "You know me?"
"Of course, the renowned Oboro... one of the few privileged members in the association, how could I not know him... Naturally, someone as insignificant as me, would you..."
"You've definitely never heard of it. I was just leaving when you first joined the association..." The man, whose body was wrapped in a white cloth from head to toe, said sarcastically.
"So... you're a member of the association now."
It's not surprising that Lonely is not an issue.
Once a hunter's license is issued, the association will not revoke it for any reason... In other words, there are some criminals within the association who also have connections with the association, such as friends or partners.
However, once a hunter is classified as a criminal, they will be targeted by the disciplinary department of the association headquarters, namely the 'Seirin Team'.
The predecessor of this team was 'Shadow', who co-founded the Hunter Association with Netero and worked hard for V5.
The leader is Jade from the original theatrical version.
The character who drives the curse.
One star? Two stars?
Long smiled. "It's not Samsung, is it?"
“A three-star hunter? There are only a handful in the entire association. You overestimate me… I’m only a two-star.” The man laughed, then looked at his three teammates and introduced them: “What a coincidence, didn’t I tell you before that there was a newcomer in the association who completed a two-and-a-half-star difficulty mission all by himself? It was personally assigned by Netero… Look, this is the one in front of you.”
"So, when the fight starts, don't be careless... one wrong move and you could die."
The remaining three people stared at Long with unusually solemn expressions after hearing this.
Actually, even without the captain's reminder, the fact that Oboro was able to kill Steve and the others already indicated that he was no ordinary person.
"You're already two stars, and you still break the rules... It's a bit of a loss. Staying in the association might be a good career path..." Long took his hands out of his pockets, stretched his limbs, and said casually.
"By now, you should have noticed it too, right? The factions and atmosphere within the association... aren't as peaceful as they seem on the surface. Of course, for someone like you, with the president backing you up, you can ignore all of this... truly enviable." Seeing the Nen emanating from Oboro, the man also released his killing intent.
"So... he was forced to leave."
Long understood.
"Don't be envious. Do you want to know why the old man isn't proud of you?"
"Because... someone like you with a star on your name isn't worth much..."
Long's words instantly darkened the man's expression.
While star-level hunters are still few in number within the guild, they aren't as scarce as three-star hunters... because the approval process for one-star and two-star hunters is relatively easier as it doesn't require going through the V5 level. This, in turn, leads to some instances of favoritism and corruption within the guild due to the dispersion of power and factions.
In the original story, when Illumi chased Killua and Alluka to the Association headquarters, he easily killed some of the one- and two-star hunters in the Seirin team...
A star hunter who is skilled in actual combat will undoubtedly be stronger.
However, many people who are awarded stars are simply outstanding in their professional fields.
As for the one standing before Oboro, he is undoubtedly a two-star hunter skilled in actual combat…
Whoosh!
Immediately, ghostly mist surged around Oboro.
All five people moved at the same time!
The battle begins.
……
Inside the hospital, Menqi, who was taking care of Fant and Gebwich, walked out of the ward with her phone in hand and went to the stairwell.
I was surprised that the chairman called me personally.
I simply inquired about the progress of their mission.
Men Qi told him everything in detail.
"What do you think makes him so good?" the old man asked with a smile.
After listening, Menqi expressed his own opinion.
"You're half right. There's a lot you haven't observed... For example, judging from the battle you just described, his ability to end battles quickly is indispensable for analyzing Nen abilities."
"Based on his profound understanding of Nen, he can quickly discern the workings and weaknesses of his opponent's abilities after engaging in combat. This is also due to his rich experience. His strength lies not only in his various methods but also in his intellect. To some extent, in battle, the importance of the mind far surpasses that of Nen and combat techniques."
"Yes."
Men Qi's eyes flickered.
It seemed like the chairman was giving her pointers, but Menqi sensed the old man's underlying intentions.
Her joining Oboro's team is inextricably linked to Bisky.
She was unsure whether the chairman had instructed her to do so.
Are you monitoring Oboro?
