Digital World.
If understood through common sense, the so-called Digital World would simply be the internet.
But with the addition of Nen, it becomes, just as Ging described, a true another world.
Ickshonpe, the Single-Star Hacker Hunter, was the administrator of the Digital World, possessing the highest level of authority.
Thus, the moment Ging brought Moses into the transit station, Ickshonpe immediately noticed.
However, he didn't reveal himself outright. Instead, he quietly observed Moses, whom Ging had brought along.
Only a handful of people know about this entrance to the Digital World located in the Hunter Association's Headquarters.
Ging was one of them.
And the fact that Ging had brought Moses here was proof of his trust in him.
Even so, Ickshonpe had long grown accustomed to observing first before making any moves.
But what he never expected was...
Ging and Moses actually started fighting right in the transit station.
Seeing this, Ickshonpe suddenly understood why Ging had chosen to enter through the passage in Hunter Association's Headquarters.
'He was actually treating the transit station as a training ground...'
'But this was exactly the kind of thing Ging would do.'
Before Ickshonpe could react further, he saw something even more shocking…
'Ging was actually being overpowered in a direct clash?!'
"Moses Isaac…"
While Ickshonpe was surprised, since he's in the Digital World, he easily retrieved all the information about Moses.
He usually doesn't pay attention to what's happening in the real world.
To him, the Digital World is the real world.
The 'real world' outside the Digital World is nothing more than a virtual space, which seems unreal in his eyes.
But after taking a look at the information automatically collected by the system, he suddenly realized-
The pair of panda ears on Ickshonpe's head moved a few times involuntarily, and within his round eye sockets, a pair of eyeballs darted around like marbles in a cup.
This was his reaction when he was shocked.
The source of his shock at this moment was the information about Moses presented before him.
Or in other words-
The unprecedented 'resume' displayed before him.
Thankfully, the intelligence he gathered did not include the battle reports from the Chimera Ant incident, and naturally, there was no information about Moses single-handedly killing the Royal Guards and the King.
The reason why Ickshonpe did not collect this recent information is that none of the other participants in the Chimera Ant incident had disclosed Moses's combat performance to the outside world.
After all, doing so would've been equivalent to exposing Moses's Nen Abilities, which went against their professional ethics.
Not to mention, there was also V5's suppression and blockade after the incident...
If Ickshonpe had managed to gather intel on the Chimera Ant incident, he likely would've been even more shocked.
But shock aside...
Ickshonpe wouldn't waste too much emotion on this matter.
After all, it was just something that happened in the 'virtual world' and it is not worth him wasting too much time on it.
Under Ickshonpe's watchful gaze, the spar in the transit station continued.
Ging, having been forced back by a single punch, now had a clear understanding of Moses's raw power and explosive strength.
In fact, Ging's combat talent wasn't limited to just mimicking offensive Nen Abilities...
He also possessed terrifying combat data collection skills!
That single exchange had allowed Ging to gather crucial information, which he could then quantify into data.
'A difference of about 19%... Tch, that's way too big. No way, no way.'
Stabilizing his stance, Ging raised an eyebrow at Moses, who hadn't pressed the advantage, and silently analyzed the gap exposed by that punch.
The clash of fists had been intentional.
After all, the purpose of this spar was to help Moses finalize his attribute chart, so the goal was to have a head-on collision as much as possible, rather than avoid it.
But the result had caught Ging off guard.
A 19% difference-
This means that he must mobilize 19% more of his Manifested Aura so that he can be on par with Moses in terms of offensive and defensive power in a concentrated clash.
Otherwise, he'd take damage in a direct exchange.
The only reason he'd remained unharmed earlier was mainly thanks to the ability of Ken: Bone-Plated Armor offsetting the damage.
But the result was that the 'plating' cast by Ging in his Aura disappeared, while the 'plating' on Moses's Aura remained.
If Moses had chosen to follow up aggressively, then Ging, which had lost its 'plating', would've faced immense pressure in close combat.
In that case, Ging can only surpass Moses in the accuracy of Ryu to have a chance to withstand Moses's rapid attack.
Moses had likely foreseen this, which was why he hadn't pursued the advantage.
Again, the same words-
Both Ging and Moses understood the main purpose of this spar.
"Honestly, I'm a little curious now."
Ging rubbed his wrist slightly, and while speaking, the Aura on his body gradually formed a scale-like layers.
Moses waited for Ging to fully rebuild his defense before asking, "What are you curious about?"
"I'm curious about what you actually did during the Chimera Ant extermination."
A faint glimmer flashed in Ging's eyes.
The Hunter Association's Zodiacs' members all knew the outcome of the Chimera Ant incident, including how Netero had nearly died to eliminate the threat.
But beyond that, there were no detailed reports.
At first, Ging had been surprised, and at the same time, he was impressed by the terrifying and tricky nature of the 'foreign species' that could push someone as strong as Netero to such extremes.
But since the matter was already resolved, Ging hadn't dug deeper. He just did a brief investigation of the giant Chimera Ants and determined that they were indeed a species from the Dark Continent.
Now-
Having personally experienced Moses's current strength, Ging couldn't help but feel that the 'process' of the Chimera Ant Incident might be different from what he expected.
Hence, his curiosity was piqued.
"Let's talk after the fight."
Moses didn't plan to hide the details from Ging, but for now, his main focus was on this spar.
"Okay."
Ging nodded. By now, his layered Aura had fully reformed.
Seeing this, Moses didn't hold back and launched an all-out offensive.
Whoosh-
The sudden burst of Aura caused Moses's figure to disappear into the air.
Ging's eyes became extremely focused in an instant. He first sidestepped, then raised his forearm in a defensive stance.
Just as he made a defensive move, a fist filled with condensed Aura hit his elbow.
Boom!
A white shockwave burst out.
Ging withstood the force of Moses's punch, his unmoving like a boulder.
Just as he'd calculated earlier, in this attack and defense concentrated on one point, he had to add 19% more of Manifested Aura in the attack and defense area, so that he could 100% resist the attack from Moses.
Therefore, before he made any defensive moves, he had already made corresponding adjustments using his Ryo, which had reached perfection.
Not a fraction more, not a fraction less.
Incredibly accurate judgment, incomparably exquisite control...
The seemingly ordinary attack and defense just now actually greatly demonstrated Ging's terrifying basic skills.
But what's even more terrifying is-
Ging's confidence.
After just one clash, he'd correctly deduced the gap between him and Moses, and adjusted accordingly.
But no matter how precise his adjustments, the difference in Manifested Aura would gradually outweigh the importance of technique.
In a spar where Nen Abilities were forbidden, it was hard to say whether Manifested Aura or skill mattered more.
But-
The answer would soon become clear.
