"It's too reckless. They just got the qualification to enter the 200th floor, and now they want to immediately apply for a match?" Wing quickly stood up. "No, I must stop them."
In Wing's view, simply registering at the 200th floor of Heaven's Arena wasn't a big deal. The only requirement for contestants above the 200th floor was to have at least one match within three months, which was faster than Wing had expected. However, Wing had originally planned that after Gon and Killua obtained entry qualification, they would merely register and then return. Afterward, Wing would properly instruct them in Nen techniques based on their individual conditions.
"They're too impatient. They can't even wait this short time?" Wing moved quickly toward Heaven's Arena. Entering the elevator, he rode straight up to the 200th floor.
The elevator stopped, and Wing stepped out. Upon seeing Gon and Killua, he relaxed slightly. The two seemed to have been stopped by someone and had halted near the entrance to the registration area.
The two immediately turned around. "Wing-sensei."
Wing approached and then saw the figure who had blocked Gon and Killua—it was Hisoka. At this moment, Hisoka was leaning casually against the wall, flipping a playing card in his hand. An extremely dangerous aura emanated from him—Nen filled with hostility. Without making a move, just relying on his aura alone, Hisoka had completely suppressed Gon and Killua, leaving them unable to take even a single step forward.
However, this only made Gon even more excited, while Killua's eyes flickered with uncertainness.
"Compared to the girl on the airship back then, Hisoka's aura is overwhelmingly stronger... They're not even in the same league."
"Even among Nen users, there is such a vast gap... What level must Cousin Ron be at?"
Gon and Killua's plans to reach the 200th floor weren't just known by Hisoka—Ron also knew. But Ron would not intervene like Hisoka. Because he understood that Killua would never act recklessly like Gon, and Gon's impulsiveness had little to do with him.
The Hunter Association was involved here, and Wing was part of it, not to mention that Wing and Ging Freecss were much closer by association than Ron was.
In simpler terms, if he were to intervene, it would be overstepping his bounds.
Besides, Ron didn't have the standing to interfere either, just like he hadn't had the standing to stop the massacre of the Kurta Clan back then, regardless of the actions of Kakin, Mingbo, or Meteor City.
Hisoka, however, was different. Since he had already chosen Gon as a future opponent, he wanted to see Gon grow properly. A Gon who had been subjected to a brutal baptism at the 200th floor would likely become "useless" in Hisoka's eyes, which would be disappointing.
Plus he didn't listen nor care about anyone else's opinion anyway.
"Gon, I heard from Zushi that you want to immediately apply for a match at the 200th floor?"
"Yes, Wing-sensei," Gon replied.
"Can't you just register first and wait for a more suitable time before applying?"
Gon didn't respond verbally, but his stance was clear. In terms of stubbornness, Gon surpassed even Wing.
"Wing-sensei, I want to personally experience a match against a 200th-floor fighter. I can't wait even a single day. I want to do it right now."
Wing fell silent. After a long while, Wing looked at Gon and Killua. "Come back with me. I will teach you Nen immediately. Once you have opened your aura nodes, you can register and apply for a match. At the very least, you must first master the basics of Nen."
Wing had his persistence, and Gon had his. In the end, Wing chose to compromise.
Wing turned around, and Gon and Killua followed him. Soon, Wing brought them back to his temporary apartment.
"You already know the basics about Nen, so I won't repeat it. I only have one question for you now: Are you truly prepared to learn Nen?"
Wing's expression turned serious.
Gon and Killua looked at each other and nodded firmly. "Yes, Wing-sensei, we are ready."
"Good. Then I will now help you open your aura nodes."
Wing extended his hand. A flow of aura surged out, enveloping Gon and Killua. In the next moment—
Gon and Killua both felt it clearly. It was as if some switch inside their bodies had been turned on, and something intangible, invisible, and odorless began to flow out of them—yet they could unmistakably feel it: warm and gentle.
Wing looked at them and said, "It seems you've already sensed it. I have opened your aura nodes. What you're feeling is your aura—your life energy flowing from your nodes. Life energy consists of spiritual and physical components."
"As for Ten, I have already explained it to you before. Now, try it yourselves. I hope you can quickly master the Ten technique. Otherwise, excessive loss of life energy could have adverse effects—or even permanent consequences."
"I trust you don't want that to happen."
But before Wing could even finish his warning—
"Is that so?" Gon raised his hands. "I think... I already mastered it."
At the same time, Killua's voice rang out from the side. "Me too."
Wing immediately gathered aura into his eyes, using Gyo to inspect them closely. At first, he didn't believe it. He thought Gon and Killua had simply misinterpreted their sensations. But when he used Gyo to observe them, he saw that both Gon and Killua were indeed enveloped in proper Ten—a stable, steady Ten—not some rough, clumsy version.
Wing's eyes widened slightly.
"And their mastery level isn't low?"
"Were these two really learning Ten for the first time?"
If Wing hadn't personally opened their aura nodes himself, he would have suspected that they were already seasoned Nen users.
"This is... innate talent?"
"Is their talent really this terrifying ?!"
