Nen users starting from Highschool of the Dead

Chapter 15: Upholding a man's dignity is a woman's reserve

"We've covered 'Entanglement,' 'Absolute,' and 'Practice,' so what about the last one, 'Send'?"

Perhaps it was because Su Yan had helped her resolve the heavy burden she had been carrying in her heart.

Or perhaps it was that kiss with Su Yan just now that caused a slight change in their relationship.

Saeko Busujima, unlike her usual reserved demeanor around Su Yan, took the initiative to ask about the last technique of the four basic elements of telekinesis.

Su Yan said with a smile, "Actually, you've already seen it."

"I've already seen it? When?"

Saeko Busujima asked, puzzled.

Could it be that Su Yan secretly used the "Send" technique after finishing the practice?

But she didn't notice at all.

"Just last night."

Su Yan stretched out his hand, and a piece of parchment gradually took shape in his hand.

"This is?"

Saeko Busujima recognized it at a glance—wasn't this the parchment Su Yan had given her to sign the contract with last night?

This thing that rewrote her destiny and brought her so closely connected with Su Yan—she would never forget it, not just after one night, but even after ten, twenty, or a lifetime.

But is this the "fa" that Su Yan was talking about?

Does this so-called "development" refer to the development of other Nen users?

It was indeed because he signed a contract with Su Yan that he was able to so easily sense the presence of Qi within his body.

But upon closer reflection, she realized it was unlikely.

He glanced again at the contract parchment that had just materialized out of thin air right under his nose in Su Yan's hand.

Recalling last night, Su Yan conjured up a white oak sword of the same style in front of him and fought him.

Or does "发" actually refer to the technique of using telekinesis to condense and use weapons?

Su Yan was unaware of the strange thoughts in the girl's head, but he didn't keep her in suspense and explained directly: "'Fa' doesn't refer to a specific technique, but rather a finishing move, or a skill."

"It is a killing move that each Nen user comprehends on their own after learning to freely control and utilize the ki within their body."

"Because of differences in everyone's talent, personality, upbringing, and other factors, the techniques that each person can grasp are also different."

"This is what I've come to understand as 'development'!"

As he spoke, Su Yan shook the parchment in his hand.

It's embarrassing to admit, but it's been over a year since I awakened my Nen ability after transmigrating to this world.

As a result, apart from the contractual abilities derived from the equivalent exchange of awakened trait-based abilities through constraints and oaths, there has been absolutely no clue as to how to develop new abilities.

All I can say is that Specialist Nen abilities are... well, let's just say they're a bit... hard to describe.

In Hunter x Hunter, Nen abilities are divided into six systems, which, if represented by a picture, would be a hexagonal pattern.

Each system occupies one corner of the hexagon.

If we say that the probability of a Nen user learning the abilities of their own system is 100%, then...

Therefore, the probability of learning an ability that is adjacent to another ability is 80%, the probability of learning an ability that is separated by a gap is 60%, and the probability of learning an ability on the farthest diagonal is the lowest, at 40%.

The Specialization system is definitely the most unique system among Nen abilities, and it can be described as all-encompassing.

Any ability that differs from the other five psychic systems—whether it's an innate ability, a special ability awakened later, or a random superpower—is categorized under the Specialization system.

Furthermore, although the probability of a Specialist Nen user learning other types of abilities decreases with distance.

However, for other types of Nen users, regardless of their position on the hexagon, the probability of learning a Specialty-type ability is zero.

This has resulted in special ability users not only possessing a wide variety of abilities, but also developing them in a completely unsystematic way.

Aside from the basic telekinetic techniques, there's no one else who can teach you how to develop your abilities later on; you basically have to rely on yourself.

Therefore, Su Yan usually focuses his Nen training on developing adjacent Conjuration-type abilities and Emission-type abilities that he inherited from Shizuka Marikawa.

After listening to Su Yan's explanation of "Hair," Saeko Busujima seemed thoughtful and guessed, "Junior Su Yan's ability can't be just as simple as helping people learn Nen, right?"

The logic is simple: since the contract is an ability that Su Yan comprehended, how could it possibly be entirely altruistic?

After all, to put it bluntly, humans are inherently selfish creatures; self-interest is their nature.

"That's right."

Su Yan did not deny it, and said directly: "Since it is called a contract, then this ability is naturally beneficial to both parties to the contract."

"After signing the contract, even if the person has never been exposed to Nen before and has no understanding of Nen, they can quickly master the ki in their body and learn Nen."

"As the one who drafted the contract, I can naturally benefit from it as well."

"For example, after signing the contract, no matter how much mental power you increase in your body during your cultivation, I will receive the same level of improvement. Moreover, after you comprehend your own 'emission,' I will be able to learn it easily as well."

"Eh?"

Saeko Busujima was stunned.

Isn't this ability a bit too abnormal?

You can obtain the results of someone's hard work and cultivation simply by signing a contract with them.

Doesn't that mean that as long as there are enough people who sign contracts, even if all the contracted parties are mediocre people who cannot comprehend 'Fa'?

Su Yan could probably turn himself into a superman just by relying on the telekinetic power he gains through synchronization, right?

However, the girl quickly rejected the idea.

Because she thought of the contract she had signed the night before, which contained all sorts of clauses that were in her favor.

That's too harsh!

If it were her, even if she were to comprehend this ability, she would absolutely not dare to let anyone sign such a contract.

What kind of things did Su Yan go through in the past to be able to comprehend such an ability?

Saeko Busujima clicked her tongue inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she gave Su Yan a resentful look and said:

"Isn't this ability of yours a bit too unfair? It allows you to simultaneously acquire the Nen abilities of your contractors. Does that mean I'll never be able to surpass you?"

Su Yan asked in surprise, "Does Saeko-senpai really want to surpass me that much?"

Although the opponent has won the national college kendo championship for two consecutive years, he shouldn't be the type to be overly competitive.

"Yes."

Saeko Busujima didn't deny it at all, responding with a smile, "After all, I just swore to my junior that I would protect you with my life in the future. If I'm always weaker than you, how can I protect you?"

"unnecessary!"

Su Yan was genuinely at a loss for words when faced with Saeko Busujima's comments, which seemed somewhat like a gender swap.

"That's true. Junior Su Yan is a man, after all, upholding a man's dignity is also a woman's reserve."

Saeko Busujima reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, saying with a charming air, "Then I'll have to ask Su Yan to take good care of me from now on."
