142 Chapter 142 Can You Accept Me As Your Disciple?

'Are you kidding me...'

Menchi's heart was beating at an unprecedented speed.

The moment she was restrained, she could clearly feel the malice coming from the shadow clone, as well as the fierce force transmitted to the skin of her arms.

'It's bad!'

This was Menchi's immediate thought.

However, in the next moment, the force applied to her arm suddenly receded like a tide.

Menchi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Although she didn't understand why the opponent suddenly eased up, this action at least conveyed a message that she could avoid suffering.

So she decisively shouted for surrender.

Looking at Menchi, who was full of desire to survive, a strange expression flashed in Moses's eyes.

That morning, the scene of Menchi confronting a burly man so wildly was still vivid in his mind.

Moses's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked straightforwardly: "Why are you hiding here and peeping? What is your purpose?"

"Huh?"

Menchi was stunned at the question, then quickly explained: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I never intended to peep... When I saw you guys just now, I was thinking of coming over to say hello."

"Not convincing enough."

Moses shook his head.

Menchi's eyes widened and she hastily explained: "I'm telling the truth. If it weren't for that big guy ruining those ingredients, I would have left a long time ago!!"

"Your logic doesn't make sense."

Moses shook his head again and said calmly: "Since you couldn't bear to see Wright ruining the ingredients, your proper reaction should have been to step forward and stop Wright from doing so, not continue hiding in the bush to peep, right?"

"…"

Hearing this, Menchi opened her mouth in bewilderment.

'Why does that sound much more reasonable?'

'No, no.'

'That's not what I thought at the time!!'

"I, I…"

Furrowing her eyebrows, Menchi struggled to explain, " At that time... I wanted to come out and say hello to you, but when I saw that big guy ruining the ingredients, it made me angry, and I.... I didn't want to give you a bad impression... So I thought... I'd wait until my anger subsided before, before coming out …"

That was indeed what Menchi was thinking at that moment.

So she endured it until Wright finished eating before preparing to show herself.

Who knew that before she could show herself, Moses and Wright would silently start fighting.

"Novel perspective."

Moses once again commented on Menchi's explanation.

"…"

Menchi looked at Moses blankly, finally unable to say anything.

Her resigned response was like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at any time.

At this time, Wright got rid of the confusion in his heart and slowly looked at Menchi, who was restrained by the shadow clone.

"This…"

He immediately noticed Menchi's poor and immature Ten, and the scene when he first met Moses flashed through his mind unconsciously.

'Go away, go away, go away!'

Wright shook his head vigorously to dispel some unpleasant images out of his head, and then carefully examined the Aura wrapped around Menchi's body again.

'This level…'

'It is indeed immature.'

'But the question is, why is her Zetsu so good?!'

First, he met a monster-like Moses, and now, an unreasonable Menchi appeared.

For some reason, Wright suddenly had the feeling that the world he was living was no longer the same.

Moses turned his head and glanced at Wright, implying something as he said: "A qualified Nen User must not only know how to carefully choose opponents and situations, but also cover up the full extent of their abilities at all times unless necessary."

"That's right."

Noticing Moses's meaningful gaze, Wright nodded in agreement.

Moses then turned his attention to the seemingly lifeless Menchi, and said sternly: "While we were competing, there was a stranger with unknown intentions lurking here to peek at us, and witnessing our ability."

"If you put it that way…this matter is indeed quite serious."

Wright glanced at Moses and said solemnly: "It seems that we can't let her go easily."

"Should we kill her directly?"

Moses narrowed his eyes. When he said this sentence, Menchi's struggling power could clearly be felt from the shadow clone.

'Hey, what about it? What about it?!'

Menchi screamed in her mind while struggling with all her might.

However, no matter how she struggled, the shadow clone suppressing her remained unmoved like a mountain.

In this situation, she did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of further provoking Moses.

Wright looked at the visible Aura released by Menchi in her struggling state.

'In a dangerous situation, coupled with the blessing of the will to survive, the Aura released by her struggles still had no highlights.'

'There is no doubt that she is a beginner, and I am afraid that she has not even developed her Nen Ability.

Having made this judgment, Wright waved his hand in a sheepish manner and said, "No need, no need. I don't think she has any malicious intentions, and she is still so weak that she doesn't seem to be a threat at all."

"…"

Menchi's struggling strength faltered slightly upon hearing this.

'Thank you so much, big gorilla!'

Menchi raised her head and glanced at Wright specifically.

"Yes, she's indeed quite weak."

Moses added a comment and then controlled the shadow clone to release Menchi.

Just now, he had also judged Menchi's approximate level through the total amount of Aura she released when she struggled.

'Whether it's her Ten or Ren, they are both very immature.'

'Only her Zetsu...'

'Was so exquisite that even Wright, who had been licking blood from the edge of a knife for many years, could not notice it.'

Of course.

It's not just that Menchi's Zetsu is too powerful, it was mainly because there was no trace of malice in Menchi's voyeuristic behavior.

Otherwise, Wright would not have been so oblivious.

Without the suppression of the shadow clone, Menchi cautiously stood up. During the whole process, she kept glancing at the shadow clone.

From this behavior, it was as if she was afraid that the shadow clone would use another set of grappling techniques on her.

But in reality, Menchi was thinking about the match just now.

'The 'person' I saw in the competition clearly looked exactly like this boy, but this time, he was completely black, like a dummy.'

'Is this Nen...'

Menchi's heart was racing.

"That…"

Menchi stabilized her posture and looked at Moses, who had a calm expression.

Facing Menchi's gaze, Moses was mentally prepared for the other party to say something like 'Can I leave?'.

He was also considering whether he could use Menchi to harvest some rewards from Perception.

"Is your ability to create a clone? How is it done? And can you transform at will? Can I learn it?"

It was as if endless curiosity drove Menchi to ask Moses the question she wanted to know most.

Afterwards, without waiting for any reaction from Moses, and without waiting for his answer, Menchi, who had thrown out numerous questions all at once, looked directly at Moses, and then said weakly: "Can... can you accept me as your disciple?"

"…"

The unexpected situation left Moses momentarily speechless, and he also realized that Menchi's Four Fundamental Techniques did not seem to be brought in by anyone.

He turned his head to look at Wright, who also happened to be looking at him.

The two looked at each other.

"If you want to become a disciple, shouldn't you be looking for Wright?"

After a few seconds, Moses pointed at Wright.

Menchi glanced at Wright.

"Isn't he weaker than you?"

"…"

Wright felt as if he had been slapped in the face.
