Chad Sonnen

Author's Note: This work has received major editing(compared to the other work) and has been reposted, do note that the original work is also mine though(Limitless Chat Group in the multiverse). Starting from chapter 7, it's all completely new content. I also figured out that, instead of posting every day and burning myself out juggling between writing and the rest of my life, I could get a release schedule... so here it is:

Release Schedule:

-Every Tuesday

-Every Friday

-Every Sunday

Extra Power Stones and I'll release extra chapters!!

thx 4 all the support! (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

In the Lobby:

Cillian, Mereoleona and Zoro, patiently waited for Mr. Sonnen to arrive, hoping he had some sort of clue regarding nen's learning process.

Although Cillian has extensive knowledge concerning the HunterxHunter world, mostly coming from the anime and a few spoiler videos he'd seen previously, nen isn't such a simple power to master, specially by the human species who have a very limited innate inclination towards nen, only present in a select few.

It would be the same, for example, as if someone who has read a cultivation novel and then transmigrated into it, could immediately use the OP mantra that the MC gained towards the end, just because they have know about it. It would simply be illogical for someone who only has surface and theoretical knowledge, to be able to use a technique that requires, even for the greatest talents, a lot of time to master.

After a few minutes passed, Mr. Sonnen arrived in all his splendour, wearing a one-of-a-kind fur coat, bare-chested, with swimming shorts and beach sandals, donning a diamond watch and hand-crafted sunglasses.

"Hey, Cillian. You and your friends sure have created a magnificent scene on your very first day. I'm sure today was an administrative nightmare for the Arena's staff, hahahaha!"

"Hello Mr. Sonnen. Thanks for the praise. If you don't mind, I brought my friends with me since what we'll be talking about is also in their interest. Ohhh, by the way, the one to my right is Mereoleona, and the one besides her is Zor-, I mean Lostoro."

Even though Zoro was still sour about his new name. Acknowledging the man's importance in their quest to power, both Mereoleona and Zoro gave a quick, but resolute nod, showing Mr. Sonnen an attitude that neither group chat member usually gives, specially Mereoleona.

"If I remember correctly, you wanted to ask me a few things as well. Right, Mr. Sonnen? How about you start. What do you want to know?"

"I'll go first then. Although I said I wanted to ask a few things, I feel like I'd pry too much into your privacy if I asked things such as: your training plan, master, among others. So, I'll skip some questions, and summarise the others. Have you mastered the 200th Floor's secret, nen?"

"Unfortunately, no. That leads me to my question as well. While fighting, I realised that the next step in your journey to power is learning nen. It's not just me either who hasn't learnt it yet, but all three of us. My question being the following: Can you tell us how/where to learn nen?"

"To be honest, I don't know much about nen, but I'll share a short story with you as a substitute, maybe it'll give you the insights you need:

It all started two months ago. Having just earned the right to enter the 200th Floor, I was oozing with confidence, borderline arrogance. I had heard rumours about all the uncontrolled violence that occurs daily in the 200th Floor and of the infamous "right of passage" that happens to any fighter's 1st 200th Floor fight. Foolishly, I still charged in when promised world-wide fame.

Just as I was about to register for a fight with some seriously suspicious people who were constantly trying to convince me to fight with them, even going to such lengths as saying they were doing me a favour and that I was 'undisputed and undefeated', "he" appeared.

The moment he appeared, the others started babbling something along the lines of "not interfering," but the man didn't care. He told them to buzz off and instructed me to go back home. Enraged and thinking about everything I had been through to reach that stage, I went for a double-legged takedown. Mysteriously, as I approached him, an extremely powerful but, at the same time, controlled aura enveloped me.

Normally, aura would maybe affect me psychologically but never physically. Surprisingly though, the moment the man's aura hit me, I was rendered immobile, unable to move a single muscle.

Fast forward a bit, the man told me I'd have to learn the 200th Floor's secret, nen, that only the creme de la creme of fighters have mastered, to successfully survive to 200th Floor. Thankfully, "he" told me that, since he didn't want to see any more unnecessary bloodshed, he'd teach me at least the basics. Starting from then, I left Heaven's Arena, and started to learn nen.

Regrettably, I still haven't learnt it, and if I'd stayed to learn for any longer, the Arena would've permanently banned me, something that I can't let happen. After all, I've got a family to feed, and, unfortunately, I don't know how to do anything other than fighting."

"I'm sure you'll learn it eventually Mr. Sonnen, even if it takes a little longer. On another note, can you introduce me to "this" man?"

"Sure, I'll try and contact him and direct him to you. Keep in mind that he might reject you though. After all, most people who I know that've learnt nen, are very... eccentric."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sonnen. Even if he doesn't want to meet up, I won't blame or despise you. I understand that it's out of your control."

"You're welcome, Cillian. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Mr. Sonnen."

...

In the elevator:

Finally alone with Mereoleona and Zoro, Cillian confirmed:

"Now that you've heard it from a native of this world, do you believe me now, Zoro?"

Zoro replied with a ferocious grin:

"...I'm looking forward to cutting the so called nen-users on the 200th Floor!"

Cillian added on:

"How about you, Mereoleona?"

Mereoleona, with a much more noticeable smile plastered on her face, indirectly answered:

"I'm getting fired up!"

'It seems like these two have much more motivation to complete this world's mission and side-missions now compared to before.'

"It's great that you're both exited, but let's refrain from advancing as quick as we did today so we can have enough time to learn nen and prepare for the 200th Floor."

"Ok..."

"Sure, Cillian."
