Okay, he estimated that even if he practice his Nen to the level of Netero, he might not be able to support activating and using a super-strong bomb.
"I should focus on improving my strength first,"
Orion resolved silently.
Only with strength could he survive in this dangerous world.
And Nen ability was the foundation of strength.
The ability to manipulate life energy—freely controlling the life energy emanating from the body, also known as aura; the force used in attack or defense is called Nen.
Learning this skill is a requirement to become a true Hunter.
Nen can be trained using one of the four principles, and anyone can learn it.
Therefore, to prevent its misuse by evil forces, it's a technique not easily revealed.
The four principles of Nen training are:
Ten: Stabilizes the aura flowing throughout the body. In combat, the strength of Ten equals the defense against Nen attacks.
Zetsu: Tightens and isolates the aura and breath, weakening one's presence. In the Zetsu state, defense against Nen attacks is near zero. Entering Zetsu while fatigued helps restore stamina.
Ren: Emits refined aura from the ten pores, releasing more aura than usual. It's crucial for developing strength and powerful Nen abilities.
Hatsu: The culmination of Nen ability; freely manipulating and using one's aura. This involves developing personalized Nen abilities, unique to each individual.
Many schools develop Nen in this world, the most mainstream being Shingen-ryu, practiced by the Hunter Association.
These four principles are basically summarized by Shingen-ryu and are suitable for all Nen beginners.
This is just the beginning; advanced Nen skills, such as Ko, Ryu, and Ken, require exceptional talent and a skilled teacher for proper understanding and application.
"Even with the [Four-Dimensional Pocket] Nen ability, I can't rely solely on it to become stronger,"
In the Hunter x Hunter world, where Nen has existed for centuries, Orion wasn't arrogant enough to think that simply watching the anime made him superior.
While he has foresight, Netero, Zeno Zoldyck, and others have far deeper understanding and mastery of Nen.
"But with super-powerful gadgets from the 21st and 22nd centuries, surpassing them isn't impossible!"
Orion's gaze hardened, filled with confidence.
Orion also wanted to check his [Four-Dimensional Pocket]'s Nen type. But given his current impoverished state—a place so desolate even a mouse would cry—he had to postpone it.
"Let's see what gadget I can draw today?!"
Orion focused his mind on his Nen ability.
The Four-Dimensional Pocket's space was a hazy gray, seemingly boundless.
He discovered it wasn't just for storing gadgets but also served as a massive storage space. After all, Doraemon's Four-Dimensional Pocket could hold anything.
With a thought, a strange square object with black spots, like a brick, appeared before him.
"Draw!"
"This is… Translation Konjac?!"
Orion took the soft object from the pocket. The process, which seemed to take time in his mind, was instantaneous in reality.
He instantly recognized the gadget. It appeared frequently in almost every Doraemon movie.
Gadget: Translation Konjac.
Effect: Used for translation; solves language problems when encountering unfamiliar languages.
This was Orion's summary from organizing the gadget data. Simply eating it allows understanding of any language, including alien languages, and facilitates communication. It works for both spoken and written language. However, one Konjac only works for one language.
The Translation Konjac frequently appears in Doraemon's long stories, such as "Nobita and the Great Demon," "Nobita and the Underwater Ghost Castle," and "Nobita's Birth of Japan." Doraemon uses it whenever encountering new races.
Despite its limitation, it's crucial for Orion.
"Hunter x Hunter's writing is like hieroglyphs. Learning it from scratch would be difficult,"
Orion ate the Konjac. His Nen and Aura decreased slightly; each use consumes Nen and Aura.
"This Nen ability has two main limitations: random daily gadget draws, and the Aura/Nen consumption. The randomness is unavoidable, but I know the function of every gadget I draw."
"The real limitation is the Aura/Nen consumption."
"Could I lessen one limitation by strengthening the other? The restriction and vow…"
He ate most of the Konjac, finding it surprisingly tasty, soft, and filling.
As he finished the last piece, ready to study how to increase his Nen and Aura, and explore restrictions and vows…
A creak. The old wooden door opened. A girl with pink-purple hair and golden eyes entered.
"You're awake?"
She asked calmly, emotionless.
"Mm!"
Orion replied, relieved he could understand thanks to the Konjac.
He examined the girl, who had rescued him. She was petite, about eleven or twelve, with pink-purple hair, thin eyebrows, delicate features, and striking golden eyes. She wore a white outfit resembling a judo uniform, but with a skirt and black tights underneath.
Examining a young girl could be misinterpreted, but considering Orion's current age and physique, and…
"Why does she seem so familiar?"
Chapter 4: Machi!
"This was exchanged for your clothes,"
The girl said, pointing to her white outfit.
"My clothes?"
Orion realized his original clothes were gone, replaced by ragged hemp clothing.
"Exchanged for my clothes?"
His familiarity with the girl intensified; a figure in his mind began to merge with her. Considering his location, the barren land, and the garbage…
"Where is this place?"
"Meteor City,"
She replied calmly.
"Meteor City?"
Orion muttered, "As expected."
"I've landed in a great place."
Meteor City, a waste landfill in the north of Youropian continent, where anything is discarded: garbage, corpses, babies, industrial waste…
