Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

A hint of emotion flashed in Leiza's eyes. Just who was this unknown kid in front of him? How could he actually contact Jin?

Even his old friends find it difficult to contact him normally, which is also a testament to Kim's trust in their abilities.

I believe they can manage the game very well even when they are not around.

When Dia saw that the call had gone through, she immediately continued the conversation:

"Hey, Mr. Jin, it's me, Dia. Do you remember me?"

"...Ah, of course, you little rascal, it's hard to forget you."

Jin remained silent for a long time, which was rare, before slowly speaking in a voice that revealed no emotion.

"That's good. It's like this, I'll go on and on..."

"...Then I fell from the sky and landed right on this [Greed Island], so blah blah blah..."

Dia babbled on and on, not caring whether Jin understood or not, and just said everything she needed to say.

Given Jin's comprehension abilities, even if Dia's explanation is completely nonsensical, he'll probably still understand it.

"Wait a minute, kid, you said you fell from the sky? How high in the sky?"

After Dia finished speaking, Jin suddenly asked a strange question.

"...I don't know. I think I lost consciousness for a while, and I probably fell down for a day or two. I only regained consciousness after entering the stratosphere."

Actually, Diya was also puzzled as to why she had misremembered the time before, but this was obviously not something she should be worrying about now.

"..."

Jin paused for a long moment to think, then said in a strange tone:

"You're really lucky, kid. You made it to the stratosphere and still made it back alive..."

"But why did I lose two days' worth of memories? How could it possibly take two days to free-fall from the exosphere to the stratosphere..."

These words left Dia completely bewildered. How come the outer space in the Hunter world is different from the one in her previous life?

That said, the Hunter community's development of high-altitude machinery is indeed quite strange. For example, the existence of low-altitude aircraft like airships is different from the technology tree in my previous life.

Within the stratosphere, the most advanced creations in the Hunter world are nothing more than high-altitude balloons and drones; further up, there are only things like communication satellites.

After a while, Jin decisively gave up on dwelling on such things; after all, he wasn't some kind of cosmologist.

"Forget about it, let's ignore him. Anyway, you're planning to use [Exile] to teleport to Newderry, right?"

"Ah, right, right."

Diya quickly responded, a smile gradually spreading across her face. It's so great to have connections.

"Alright, Leiza!"

Jin's voice suddenly grew louder, attracting Leiza's attention:

"Give this kid a beating! If he wins, use [Deport] to kick him out; if he loses, use [Exclude] to kick him out!"

Click, beep... beep...

The busy signal indicating no one was answering the phone rang, and Diya's smile froze on her face.

As the evening breeze blew by, Leiza slowly put away his books, a professional smile appearing on his face, and his entire aura began to surge.

"That stingy guy! All he did was reveal his heterosexuality and reject her confession!"

Diya began spreading vicious rumors without any expression, adhering to the principle of slandering to the bitter end, without even caring about her own reputation.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Leiza was startled by Diya's words, and even his thick and rounded "Entanglement" showed a barely perceptible fluctuation.

But he quickly realized that Dia was talking nonsense, just like the in-law he had mentioned before.

Leiza immediately realized that anyone who could be treated with the same attitude by Jin was indeed not a normal person, just like Jin.

"In any case, since it's Jin's request, I can't refuse. I can only apologize, Mr. Dia..."

boom!

A massive amount of spiritual energy was released from all the pores of Lei Zha's body, transforming into astonishing waves of energy that surged and rolled, causing the lonely little coastline to tremble.

Seeing this, Diya narrowed his eyes and decisively activated [Training] with all his might. The golden ripples and white spiritual energy surged violently, soaring into the sky with overwhelming momentum.

The two brothers, trembling not far away, were dumbfounded. Not only was that young man a monster, but how could a random squinty-eyed guy who just popped up on the roadside be just as formidable?

"Hmm? [Dispel], activate!"

Leiza noticed the two brothers who were trembling like quails, and casually took out a card to teleport them elsewhere.

Then he took a stance and said earnestly to Dia:

"Since you have earned Jin's approval, there is no doubt about your strength. I will not hold back from now on. I hope that you, Mr. Dia, will also fight seriously with the intention of killing me."

Diya nodded slowly, and a dark cloud drifted over her head...

Chapter 237 Leiza's Tactics × The Mysterious Dia

How strong is Leiza? This has been a long-debated question.

But what is certain is that being recruited by Jin as a partner means that, conservatively speaking, he is stronger than more than 90% of professional hunters.

In the comics, he stated that he was responsible for the implementation of all the [emission] magic on the entire Greed Island.

However, upon closer examination, it is unlikely that he provided the telekinesis for all the island's [emission] magic.

Providing such a massive amount of psychic energy continuously for over a decade is something that could not possibly be accomplished by an individual; there must be something like a psychic amplification device at work.

Therefore, judging Leiza's strength based on that statement is unreasonable.

The real point that shows Leiza's extraordinary strength is in the "Dodgeball Game", where Hisoka caught Leiza's powerful throw in a moment of haste.

Hisoka's assessment at that time was:

"The ball becomes weaker after passing through the outer field, and even without using force, you can catch it by breaking two fingers."

In other words, even without recalling his Nen beast, Leiza, without using his [Spiking] technique, could still break through the [Strong] defense of a master like Hisoka with a full-force throw, even after the power was reduced!

Hisoka's strength goes without saying; even a Star Hunter like Bosidora was kicked to death by him like a stray dog.

From this perspective, saying that Leza is better than 90% of professional hunters is an underestimation of him.

The two stood quietly under the night sky, one exuding a powerful purple aura, the other radiating dazzling golden light. The two powerful auras collided like surging waves, but both tacitly chose to observe their opponent's actions first.

Leiza had great confidence in his own strength, so he didn't care about attacking first or not. Diya, on the other hand, was curious about this master who was not well-known in the original work.

The two listened to the sound of the waves on the shore, with cliffs right next to them.

"85..."

Diya focused her spiritual energy on her eyes, observing Leiza who was poised to attack, and said softly.

The meaningless numbers traveled on the evening breeze to Leiza's ears.

'This is... a rating? What a confident young man...'

Leiza remained unfazed, his emotions unaffected by Diya's words.

In battles between Nen users, emotions are a crucial element. Generally, anger or any extreme emotion can enhance the power of the ability, but it can also easily lead to a loss of rationality.

For example, Gotoh, the Zoldyck family's butler, died so hastily because his emotions were affected by Hisoka's tricks during the battle.

Seeing that the other party was not fooled at all, Diya was not discouraged, even though she had expected it.

He roughly rated Leza at 85 points, using the total amount of Nen shown by the current Chairman Netero as a standard of 100.

This is not necessarily an accurate score, because a Nen user's combat ability is not solely determined by the total amount of Nen energy.

By the way, Dia rates his current strength and speed at 80 points, which is based on the fact that the second [Arrow Fragment] greatly increased his [Manifest Aura].

Prior to this, he had rated himself at a maximum of 74 points.

However, if it were a master like Bisky or Silva who specializes in assassination and martial arts, their score might be 87 or 88.

The stronger the individual is at this level, the less significant the difference becomes in terms of mental power. Everyone is exceptionally talented and has emerged from countless trials and tribulations, making it difficult to say who is significantly stronger than whom.

Swish!

Eight orbs of light suddenly appeared around Leiza, and then the orbs expanded rapidly, transforming into eight humanoid spirit beasts wearing blue hoods, each with its own number from 0 to 7.

"【Fourteen Demons】, this is my ability, which allows me to summon eight Nen Beasts."

As Leiza calmly introduced his abilities, he waved his hand, and eight spirit beasts sprang out like springs, surrounding Diya.

"fog--"

Diya focused her mind, and the spirit beast above her head suddenly turned white, let out a strange cry, and then exhaled a large mouthful of white mist.

The mist cascaded down like a waterfall, engulfing Dia's figure and rapidly expanding outwards.

'Is it also a type that uses spirit beasts? Judging from its appearance, it should be the [automatic type] rather than the [remote-controlled type].'

The most significant difference between the two is that the [automatic] type Nen beast will not disappear even if it knocks out the Nen user, while the [remote-controlled] type will disappear after the Nen user loses consciousness. The representative ability is Gorenu's [Black and White Sage].

Leiza was not fooled by Diya's illusion.

The moment he realized he had lost track of the enemy, he didn't hesitate to condense a volleyball-sized Nen bullet in his hand and throw it at the running Nen Beast No. 0!

As if it had eyes, the number 0 spirit beast swiftly scooped backward!

He actually grabbed the psychic bullet that was radiating a violent aura and then passed it to the third psychic beast in front of him without any hesitation.

The third spirit beast followed the same method and passed the spirit bullet to the fourth spirit beast on the left.

This process was repeated many times until the Nian Beasts surrounded the original location of Diya.

The psychic bullet, which should have exploded upon contact under normal circumstances, moved rapidly in the hands of the psychic beasts, showing no sign of detonating.

But Leiza, who was not far away, knew that if this psychic bullet, which was being passed around, touched anything else, even just grazed it, it would be detonated instantly!

'The encirclement is complete. Let's see how you handle this...'

Leiza raised his right hand, and an even more powerful psychic bullet instantly condensed in the air, with violent purple energy flowing within it.

Swish!
