5. Two mysterious teenagers

In the rehearsal venue, Moritonio was already waiting for Sissoko and Oboro in a corner.

Upon seeing the two of them appear, the regimental commander waved.

Hisoka and Neo sat together, while Oboro stood.

“The troupe members are afraid that Hisoka will steal their techniques, so the number of people secretly practicing has increased…” Moritonio smiled slightly.

Normally, after a long day, members would return to their dormitories to rest after dinner.

However, there are still people moving around on the ground.

They didn't even notice them.

"Everyone's a coward..."

The leader sighed softly, "Hisoka is clearly not interested in other people's things."

"No, Captain... there's something I'd really like to learn." Seeing that the captain seemed to know him well, Hisoka held up a finger. "It's the famous Moritonio's 'aerial swimming'... that sounds really interesting."

The leader wasn't angry that Hisoka called him by his first name. He smiled and said, "Well... I won't teach you. No matter how talented you are, it's not the same thing."

"That's right."

Hisoka nodded.

After all, it's the captain's signature move; if someone else learns it, Moritoño's name will change hands.

This is the circus's golden signboard.

"The captain's special technique... is it related to this?" Suddenly, Hisoka changed his tone, his gaze locking onto Neo's body. "It's this... something that's vaguely flowing... or rather, a substance?"

"Oh?"

Moritonio was visibly surprised: "Sisoo...you...can you see air?"

"gas?"

Hisoka tilted his head slightly.

"Or perhaps it's called 'recitation'."

"read?"

"Correct."

"Do you mean the layer of light covering me, like a thin film?"

Hisoka's next words not only silenced Moritonio, but even Oboro's expression changed slightly. He had always thought that Hisoka could at most sense the 'ki' of a Nen user, namely the leader, as the ki of an ordinary person was too weak to be detected.

Unexpectedly, this kid not only discerned the leader's true nature, but also discovered his own 'qi' through it.

So perverted!

Even more amazing than I expected!

Long felt a little jealous... Sometimes, there really is no fairness between people.

"You are... simply relying on innate intuition and insight... to..."

Moritonio hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"My breath is so weak, not as full as yours, Mr. Moritoño."

Hisoka, sensing the difference in magnanimity between himself and the leader, sighed.

"Qi... is something everyone possesses. The reason my qi is so strong is because I've been cultivating it all along..."

Now that things had come to this, Moritonio didn't beat around the bush. He had called Oboro and Hisoka here because he wanted to see if the two of them had any talent in this area. "Those who can enhance or transform their ki and flexibly control and use it are called Nen users."

"Ordinary people cannot perceive the existence of Qi, and are unable to lock it within their bodies or around their bodies, causing Qi to continuously leak out..."

“To hone and cultivate this kind of Qi, there are methods required… Locking in the lost Qi and letting it flow throughout the body is called ‘entanglement’; amplifying and expanding the Qi is called ‘training’.”

Hisoka showed an interested expression.

Oboro, on the other hand, remained calm.

Because of what the regimental commander said,

For him, it was all kindergarten knowledge.

"Abachi, show him."

The leader glanced at the girl.

Abachi nodded, stood still, crossed his arms, and struck a pose.

Then, with a soft shout, the Nen energy within his body burst forth, becoming very clear and surging in Hisoka's eyes.

As for Long... he only felt that Abachi's aura suddenly surged, and an inexplicable pressure surged into his heart.

He knew the other person was using Nen... but he 'couldn't see it'.

"This is... training?"

Hisoka stood up.

"Practice is the most fundamental part of the basic concept of learning to concentrate and release one's mental abilities."

"To learn it, the practice of entanglement is also essential."

As he spoke, the leader looked at his disciple Abachi and said to Hisoka, "With your abilities and talent, 'training' is not difficult, but to master 'Ten,' even the fastest ordinary person would need about a year. Reaching Abachi's level would take about three years."

“From today onwards, you will follow me in your practice of chanting, just like Abaci.”

Moritonio patted Sissoko on the shoulder.

Undoubtedly... Hisoka's potential is particularly astonishing.

Then, after doing all that… Moritonio seemed to remember that there was still a boy there.

Several pairs of eyes turned to Long in succession.

Oboro remained silent and did not express his opinion. Neo was also unsure whether the boy could sense Nen like Hisoka.

If you can't sense it... then you're from a completely different world from them.

There is an insurmountable chasm between them.

Although... through long-term training, one can gradually strengthen their perception of Nen, it also indicates a lack of talent... Furthermore, the circus business is busy, and as a Nen user, he doesn't have the energy or time to nurture Oboro little by little.

"I have a request, and I hope you, Commander, will grant it."

With his hands in his pockets, Long said indifferently.

"you say…"

Moritonio was taken aback.

Long's words were abrupt... At this critical juncture, instead of saying whether he could sense Nen, he suddenly made a request.

"I hope you, Commander, can use your telekinesis to forcefully open my pores." Oboro's tone was very calm.

But after he finished speaking, Abachi and the commander's faces changed drastically.

"You...you know what 'nian' means?"

"Morittonio asked in a deep voice."

It seems that... the impact Oboro had on him was even greater than that on Hisoka.

“I once met a Nen user, and he told me some things.” Oboro nodded.

"That's it..."

The regimental commander was somewhat lost in thought.

Seeing that Oboro wasn't making a fuss, but instead displayed a composure beyond his years, he realized that Oboro did indeed have some understanding of 'Nen' and didn't seem to be lying.

"You know what this means, right?"

Moritonio emphasized.

Forcibly opening the vent will result in the complete loss of air, with consequences...

Meanwhile, because Oboro didn't answer whether he could see Nen, he changed the subject. In addition, Oboro's understanding of Nen led Abachi and Moritonio to subconsciously assume that he could also sense the existence of Nen.

It's even possible that they discovered Moritonio was a Nen user long ago.

I've been waiting for the right opportunity to break through this barrier.

"For your safety's sake, I can refuse."

Seeing the determination in Long's eyes, the leader replied, "With your abilities, there's no need to take shortcuts. Shortcuts mean risks... Besides, you're still young..."

"This is my own choice, and I am willing to bear all the consequences."

"I was mentally prepared for this."

Long appeared very persistent.

"you…"

Moritonio and Oboro stared at each other.

Sensing Oboro's will, he relented: "Alright... I'll try my best to control your condition."

Upon receiving the result, Long smiled.

"What...are they saying?"

Meanwhile, Hisoka noticed the change in Oboro's expression and asked Abaci.

"Has this guy gone mad?!"

Abachi bit his lip.

Then, he turned his head and succinctly explained to Hisoka what 'forcibly opening the air vent' meant.
