The Chapter get Retranslated

Illumi walked out of the Kaiser Group's headquarters office building alone. Standing outside the building, he picked up the target data in his hand and reviewed it again, but his peripheral vision was actually glancing at a black sedan across the street.

"Tsubone and Gotoh."

In Illumi's eyes, like an infrared thermal image, he ignored the obstruction of the car windows and saw two figures with faint blue smoke swirling around their bodies.

Illumi ignored them and walked towards the bus stop. He was going to the computer mall to buy a laptop; otherwise, looking up information would be difficult.

Illumi waited at the bus stop for a long time. Suddenly, a bus stopped with a "kacha" sound, and several men and women in suits, seemingly employees of the Kaiser Group, got out from the back door.

In front of the bus fare box, Illumi pulled out his wallet and shook out two coins, which clinked into the fare box.

Twenty minutes later, Illumi walked out of the computer mall, a brand-new laptop in his hand.

"Next, it's time to return to Heavens Arena."

He still had to go back to Heavens Arena, because his first battle in the 200th floor level was today.

And why it was set for today was yesterday's matter.

Twenty minutes later, Illumi returned to his private room in Heavens Arena.

It was currently 12:10 PM, four hours until his match began. During this time, he had to seize the opportunity to cultivate.

"The cultivation of Zetsu is already familiar. Next is Ren."

Ren is a technique that involves releasing the Nen cultivated within the body outwards from the Aura Nodes simultaneously. A Nen user who masters this technique can release more Nen than usual.

"In other words, I need to unleash all the Nen in my body."

Illumi thought so, wanting to unleash all the Nen in his body to see what level his total aura had reached.

He clenched his fists and placed them on his waist, standing in the center of the room, closing his eyes in contemplation.

"It's here."

After an unknown amount of time, Illumi suddenly opened his eyes and settled into a horse stance.

"Boom!"

A massive amount of Nen erupted from his Aura Nodes, like a dam being swept away by a flood.

"So hot."

Illumi felt as if his entire body was soaking in a hot spring, a hot spring so scalding it would make people cry out. Endless Nen continuously surged from his Aura Nodes.

Clenching his fists, Illumi felt that he was omnipotent now.

It was a peculiar feeling, as if everything was within his grasp, making him intoxicated.

"This is Ren?"

"My Nen capacity is astonishingly large!"

If an ordinary person's Nen capacity was 10, then Illumi's current Nen capacity was 5000.

Of course, this was just a metaphor. Even ordinary people could increase their Nen through training.

And Illumi himself possessed extraordinary aptitude, having undergone years of meditation and brutal training, so his starting point was already very high.

"Next, it's almost time to get ready for the match."

Illumi checked the time; it was already 3:30 PM. He changed into a T-shirt and shorts and headed to the 205th floor.

Time: Approximately 1:55 PM, one day ago.

Illumi finished his match on the 190th floor and headed to the 200th floor to register.

"Tap... tap..."

Illumi walked down the corridor of the 200th floor. The crisp sound of his footsteps echoed in the corridor, and the spotlights on the ceiling flickered "zzzt," dimming and brightening intermittently.

"Hm?"

Illumi arrived at the registration desk. Standing in front of the window, he suddenly turned his head to look down the corridor, where a tall figure stood in the flickering light. As the light dimmed, the figure vanished without a trace.

"Foxy?"

Illumi had a vague guess in his mind. The iconic bristly broom-like hairstyle immediately reminded him of Foxy Fisher, whom he had seen on screen on the first day.

Without further thought, he pulled out his ticket and handed it to the registration lady behind the window. After confirmation, the registration staff handed him a document.

"Mr. Illumi, welcome to the 200th floor."

"Please fill in the required information on this document."

"Also, would you like to apply to participate in a match immediately?"

Illumi didn't respond, and the registration lady didn't get discouraged, continuing to introduce the rules of the 200th floor to Illumi.

"On this floor level, matches are conducted under a declaration-of-battle system."

"That is, everyone has 90 days of battle preparation time."

"As long as it's within the battle period, participants can choose their preferred day to compete."

"Of course, if a participant wishes to fight every day, that's perfectly fine as well."

"Conversely, not fighting every day within the period is also fine."

"As long as you participate in one match, you'll get 90 days of battle preparation time."

"However, if you don't participate in any matches within that period, you will be immediately disqualified."

"All previously registered records will also be erased, so please be sure to note this."

Illumi lowered his head, filling out the information on the document. Hearing the registration lady's question, he remembered the figure from earlier, and a smile crept onto his lips.

"On what day is Foxy's match?"

"Oh~ Foxy?"

The registration lady paused at Illumi's question, then tilted her head in thought, as if remembering something.

"Are you referring to participant Foxy Fisher?"

"If it's him, you can check his match record and match dates on the Heavens Arena official website."

"Of course, I can tell you directly as well."

The registration lady said, sitting back down at her computer to check Foxy's next match date.

"Let me see, participant Foxy Fisher's next match time is..."

"July 14, 1980, which is tomorrow."

"I want to apply for tomorrow's match."

As soon as the registration lady finished speaking, Illumi handed in the completed document, a smile on his face.

"Oh~ Are you sure?"

"New participants usually observe for a while after entering the 200th floor before competing."

The registration lady, seeing that he was still a youth, couldn't help but remind him with a hint of worry.

"I'm sure."

Illumi affirmed directly. He was eager to test the strength of the person named Foxy.

He had only Hatsu left to master of the Four Major Principles of Nen, and now he intended to gain experience and improve his combat skills in battle.

"I understand."

Seeing his determined expression, the registration lady had no choice but to hand him the participant registration form for him to fill out.

"You just need to arrive at the arena on the 205th floor tomorrow at 4 PM for your match against participant Foxy."

The registration lady took back Illumi's completed registration form and entered his match time into the computer. Since Foxy was the only one registered for tomorrow before him, it would naturally be a match between Illumi and Foxy.
