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

'Somehow, I already knew that they would never go through meditation... especially that girl, Mereoleona,' thought Wing while a slight bead of sweat ran down his forehead.
Meanwhile, the moment Wing finished his thought process, Mereoleona let out an enormous sneeze, literally exhaling a bit of fire.
'...Is someone talking about me?'
"Anyway, before we begin opening your aura nodes, there are a few things you're going to have to keep in mind.
Firstly, right after the initiation, you'll be rapidly losing your life energy. If you don't get this energy under control, death by exhaustion is a possibility. The technique that enables you to get your vital energy under control is called Ten, one of the four basic Nen techniques.
Basically, Ten is the process by which one controls their aura, preventing it from escaping their skin. There are a few benefits to it, such as an increased lifespan, strength, durability, among others. Now, do you understand what you'll have to do?"
Hearing all the potential benefits of learning just a basic Nen technique, all three group chat members, including Cillian, who has his emotions partially sealed and already knew about Ten, were eager to start.
"Yeah!" x3
"There's no reason to delay then. Who wants to go first?"
"Obviously, it should be the strongest, me!"
"Huh?! What do you mean you're the strongest!?"
"I meant the truth, you moss-headed gee-"
Even without knowing the trio very well, Wing immediately took action, knowing where that discussion would lead. After all, he really didn't want to pay for a new apartment. On the other hand, Cillian retreated to the room's corner, enjoying the show.
"STOP!"
"..." x3
Doing a complete 180, Wing gave a gentle smile and asked:
"How about we flip a coin?"
Answering first, Mereoleona said:
"...Okay, I'll go with heads."
Not willing to start another argument, Zoro agreed:
"Sure, I'll go with tails then."
'Seems like these two have finally calmed down.'
"Alright, let's begin."
Immediately after Wing said that, he launched the Jenny coin high into the air, rotating it at speeds higher than regular humans can even process. A few moments later, while the coin was falling, gaining speed, Wing caught it with the same hand he used to flick the coin and, without opening his hand, placed it on the back of his other hand.
"Tails, Lostoro, it seems you're going first."
"Sure, let's start immediately."
Right after Zoro gave confirmation, Wing asked him to take his white T-shirt off and sit cross-legged. While Zoro was getting ready, Wing went behind him and started to gently use the various Nen techniques he knew as a warm-up.
"Ready?"
"Yes!"
Moments later, Wing placed both his hands on Zoro's bare back with the intention of gradually infusing Nen into his aura nodes. Unexpectedly, Wing couldn't find Zoro's aura nodes, something that a Nen master of his caliber should have been able to do easily. Since the process had already started, there was no backing off. Using his worldly experience, Wing quickly found a solution and, instead of gently pouring his Nen into Zoro's aura nodes, Wing equally distributed his Nen all over Zoro's body, from his toenails to even his brain.
This act did something not even Wing knew. It gave Zoro's body and spirit/soul both the ability to manipulate Nen. In other words, it strengthened Zoro's body as well as his dormant Haki, making it indirectly easier to awaken.
Meanwhile, Cillian noticed something was wrong, but seeing a satisfied smile on both Zoro and Wing's faces, Cillian decided that he wouldn't take any actions that could potentially harm either.
A few minutes later, Zoro's initiation finished, and a wild Nen aura gushed from his body and soul. To Wing's utter surprise, Zoro managed to rein in his Nen in a matter of seconds.
Feeling the increase in power simply from having awakened a new ability, Zoro gave out a feral grin and subconsciously released both his Nen and his fighting spirit, forming a unique visage of the King of Hell.
"Congratulations, Lostoro, it seems everything worked out. I'd also like to thank you, Wing, for not giving up on something that you've never seen. If you don't mind, I'll give you a reasonable explanation later. Please keep in mind that similar phenomena may occur with both Mereoleona and me. On a different note, if you're not fatigued, please initiate Mereoleona as well."
"Finally, it's my turn now! Let's start immediately, Wing!"
Having seen Zoro's initiation, Mereoleona sat in a lotus position and took off her upper-body robes, leaving her with only a white tank top covering her. At this sight, both Cillian and Zoro weren't affected at all. Unlike the group chat members, and despite being the oldest person present, Wing had practically no experience. Fortunately, as a Nen master, Wing could hide most of his expressions very well. Unfortunately for Wing, none of the other people present in the room were ordinary, and all three noticed his slightly flustered face but decided not to comment.
Despite his slightly agitated state, Wing quickly calmed down and began Mereoleona's initiation with similar concentration levels as Zoro's, showing impeccable professionalism. Gently spreading his Nen throughout Mereoleona's body, Wing couldn't find aura nodes in her body either. Fortunately, unlike Zoro's case, a mysterious force rapidly absorbed Wing's Nen, a spiritual force, a force some would describe as magical.
Although this mysterious force was absorbing Wing's Nen, similarly to Zoro's case, Wing's intuition didn't warn him of any potential danger, to him or to Mereoleona. A few moments after the spiritual force's absorption began, Wing noticed that Mereoleona's body was also going through initiation due to the excess Nen the mysterious force didn't use.
This time, Cillian felt that, since Wing was more prepared, the overall initiation process went much smoother. He couldn't help but look forward to Mereoleona's future power as well.
