9 Getting Stronger
Chapter 9
Title: Getting Stronger
…
Netero just looks at me with a childish questioning look… then he just hums to himself for some seconds before seemingly coming to a decision. Then he says to me…
"Since Kona spoke so highly of you… you can have your hunters license." When he says that, he has an unreadable look on his face.
He takes a hunters card from his pocket and gives it to me. He has a certain amused look on his eyes that I can't read at all. Damn… I don't like people like that at all.
"Use this carefully… now move along." He says, pulling me out of my thoughts.
I just take my hunter card and immediately turn around and start walking away, I didn't even say anything to him. I open the door and go outside.
…
As soon as I was outside I breathed out a sigh of relief.
I am pretty sure Netero just assessed my potential just from that look, and I bet he didn't see anything special, at least I am sure he didn't. I couldn't read his true intentions at all… I am only making assumptions based on what I know of his personality from the HxH anime…
Better get out of this airship… I need to start getting stronger faster or I will never be able to compete with monsters like him… and when canon comes around I want to be able to at least compete with Meruem just to feel safe…
….
One day later I am finally getting off that airship… I can now start truly getting stronger… also no one even mentioned the disappearance of the three nen users from the airship… I guess when you design a death game you can't exactly ask other people not to kill.
...
After that, since I was dropped in an airship station, I immediately go to the receptionist and ask for another flight.
"I need a flight for the Valley of Death…"
The receptionist is about to refuse my request but I just show her my pro hunter card and… she just nods and gives me a ticket to the Valley of Death. The Valley of Death is a dangerous place with vicious beasts that could easily kill humans. It is a restricted place but with my Hunter Card I can easily get access to the place…
I look at my hunter card, this thing really is useful.
….
Four months after that day… and here I am...
I clean my high caliber sniper put it back on my big army backpack …. I look around at the army of corpses around me splattered on rocks and trees… the beasts range from giant snakes to bigger that normal bears...
This is just one of the groups of beasts killed by me... even though it might seem that in my Hatsu there are a lot of limitations but I thought about my ability for twenty years and I obviously put some…. not quite loopholes but they are the closest thing I can get to them… for example I can only get exp from someone with their nen activated or something physically as powerful as a Hunter, a Hunter is always a human, there are a lot of creatures physically as powerful as a well trained human.
I then summon my tablet on one hand and I touch the blood on the ground.
*fwoosh*
The corpses all become specks of lights and go into my tablet, this has now become a familiar sight to me, I look at my exp and see that it has become 794…
This is enough for now...
…
After that I returned back to a cave in the Valley of death. Inside there is a statue… I touch the hand of the statue which opens a hidden door. I go inside and there is an empty room with only a telephone pole in it… I just pick up the phone and dial a number. And I swipe my Hunter Card on the left of the pole.
*peeep* "What can I help you with."
As soon as I hear that robotic voice I answer.
"I need an airship at the Valley of Death. Secret Hideout number eleven."
Then the robotic voice answers.
"The airship will arrive in 27 hours."
That is perfect..
"Works for me." I answer with a calm voice.
*click*
Then the line is shut…
I need to get out of here. It is not a dangerous place for me, or anyone now that I exterminated most of the dangerous beasts for exp. I was able to raise my efficiency by using my high caliber sniper rifle, though I still let the offspring of the monsters live, when they grow up they will also give me exp.
…
Anyway, I sit down in the dark room and I take out a flashlight from inside my backpack to light up the room.
And as soon as I do so, I summon my tablet, there is also another hole almost… loophole in my Hatsu… my fourth restriction says…
(4) After I upgrade my nen amount or talent in my status page I can't use nen for one day and I am forced into a state of Zetsu.
But what if I save exp and… I mass upgrade at once… I will still get only one day of forced ZETSU…
Immediately I put all of my points into Talent and the leftovers in Nen Amount…

UPGRADING PROCESS STARTING]
As soon as the countdown reached zero.
*fwosh*
My Nen slowly started to retract itself inside my body to force me into a state of Zetsu, unable to use my Nen at all. As soon as that was over… my Nen was sealed for one day. I didn't try to resist the forced Zetsu… even I don't know what will happen to me if I break this rule. My ability was created to be out of my capabilities, if I force it, it could be from something like me losing my Hatsu to me dying.
