Responsibility x Gehou x Card

"Jack, do you understand what you are asking me to do?" Kite slowly stepped closer to Jack who was supporting himself on the ground. In the darkness of night, he stared into Jack's eyes and inquired him in a deep voice trying to gauge if Jack understood the gravity of his words. 

"Yes, I do. I am asking you to be responsible for my life. You all saved my life and now I am asking you all to be responsible for it," Jack's words were not just meant for Kite but for his team members too.  

"What?" six voices exclaimed in unison listening to Jack's words. As for Kite, he let out a small laugh, and squatting beside Jack he added, "You are the shameless and clingy type, aren't you."

"I have nowhere else to go in this world, so I have to be shameless and clingy," Jack declared. He spoke the truth, he was new to his world. Kite and his team were his hope of survival here.  

"You want to know how to access your Nen. Fine, I will use 'Gehou' on you, a provoking technique used to awaken Nen. Usually, it would be deadly for someone in your condition but since you have already unconsciously opened your aura nodes it should not be a problem. You just have to remember the feeling of your Nen and try accessing it," Kite extended his hand toward Jack and he passed his Nen into Jack's body without coming in contact with it.

'It's hot' was the first thought that came into Jack's mind as Kite's Nen entered his body.

'He isn't even touching me but I can feel him on my skin.' 

'This sensation it's as if an invisible soft force was crawling under my skin.'

*DOM* 

The aura nodes on Jack's body opened wide and his Nen rushed out like blood rushing out from a wound. However, unlike the blood, Nen stuck to Jack's body. 

Jack could feel and see his entire body was covered in a thick layer of vapors that were escaping out of his body. Jack unconsciously blurted, "This is—"

"That is your Nen, remember this feeling and replicate it whenever you want to access it," Kite informed Jack while glancing at him as if looking at a peculiar specimen.

Once a person awakens their nen they can access it all day long and have to learn to contain it but in Jack's case, it was the opposite. After awakening his nen his body subconsciously knew how to contain the nen and Jack had to learn how to access it. 

It was as if Jack's body had pre-knowledge of Nen and its basic principles allowing it to subconsciously manipulate its Nen. Once again proving that Jack had the aptitude of a genius.   This was why Kite was both hesitant and eager to teach Nen to Jack. 

On one hand, Kite wanted to witness Jack's full potential blossom but on the other hand, he was worried that Jack was not responsible enough to have such power. However, Jack's words helped him come to a swift decision. 

"Master that feeling, I will impart the basic principles of nen later," Kite did not talk about containing one's aura because Jack's body was subconsciously doing it and Jack understood it without him telling him. 

Kite felt like he would have to think of ways to teach basic and advanced principles of nen to Jack, feeling that how he was taught nen and its principle was too slow for Jack's speed. 

While Kite contemplated this he witnessed Jack gather his nen toward his chest wound, forming a sort of nen bandage. Witnessing this Kite was surprised, as even veteran Nen users would not have such accurate control over their Nen. 

After gathering Nen to patch his chest wound, Jack felt the pain recede as the gathered Nen would help his wound heal faster.

Thanks to the original works Jack was no stranger to the basic principles of Nen and along with his origin card 'Nen Remastered' and physique 'Nen genius' he was easily able to manipulate Nen like a seasoned Nen user. 

Then he slowly got up on his feet. Surprising Kite's team members. 

"Don't—" Banana Kavaro was about to stop Jack from straining his body but paused seeing Kite signal her not to do so and trust Jack.  

Ignoring the surprise of Kite and his team Jack then slowly made his way to the corpse of the bipedal lizard. Gazing at the corpse Jack thought of his grimoire, soon a book with diamond boards conjured and hovered next to him. Earning a gasp from each member of Kite's team. 

With Jack's thought the grimoire opened, and its pages turned to a page called 'Card Creation Page.' 

Then under the surprised gaze of everyone, Jack extended a large amount of nen away from his body and used it to cover the corpse of the bipedal lizard. Soon the corpse of the bipedal lizard magically vanished and a card hovered in its place.
