Chapter 32- 200th floor, New mission

32

"You're suffocating me." Killua said with annoyed voice after a while but Sachiko laughed it off and messed with Killua's hair.

"Don't be dramatic!" She said.

"You're the one being dramatic." Killua retorted.

"No, I'm not." Sachiko said, "Seriously, like you're doing really great."

"....I know."

"Gon's doing great too." Sachiko said, "You started later so you are a little behind but you're doing great yourself too."

Although she was playing favorites a bit, Sachiko wouldn't go as far as making Gon feel completely left out.

"Thanks, Sachiko san. I can't wait to be able to use Gyo and catch up with Killua." Gon said innocently.

"Yeah, do that." She said, even though she doubted that would happen soon.

Soon, after the chaos subsided, Wing came back with a video tape.

"This is the collection of instances that In was being used in Heavens Arena so this will be the exercise for Gyo." Wing said to Killua and Zushi.

"Oh, interesting." Sachiko hummed.

"Okay, let's do it." Killua said.

"Can... I go first?" Zushi asked, thinking , 'If he goes first and gets everything right smoothly, I won't be able to do it anymore...'

"Sure, go ahead." Killua replied.

"Thanks."

So, Wing played the video tape and there was a man in a hood who seemed to be using In.

"What do you see, Zushi?" Wing asked as Zushu tried very hard to maintain Gyo and see what the man was concealing.

"...I see..a knife..no...a dagger behind the other guy's back.." Zushi answered after a while.

"You got it right. Next," Wing showed another clip.

"....A..an arrow..no..two arrows?" Zushi answered the next question, although he was getting visibly tired at this point.

"Correct, now the final one." Wing played the next clip.

This time, Zushi took his time but couldn't answer. He was at his limit using Gyo.

"You got two out of three right so you did well." Wing told him.

"...Osu.."

Then, it was Killua's turn.

Killua also got the first two questions right although he got different videos than Zushi. He was also much faster than Zushi did which Sachiko felt proud for. Then, the third question was the same as the one Zushi couldn't answer.

It was a bit more complicated. As Sachiko used Gyo herself, she saw a web of aura and someone in the midst of it. Since the aura formed like a web, it was indeed tricky to get it right for ones who just learned Gyo.

Killua took a moment but he answered "Thirteen.. No, fifteen."

"You got it right!" Sachiko exclaimed before Wing could. Since she already got Gyo to proficient level, she was confident that she wouldn't get it wrong.

"Congragulations, Killua kun. You got it all right." Wing said.

"See, you did it!" Sachiko said, which Killua responded with his proud smirk.

The training session was soon over and Wing and Sachiko set up another training session one week from now.

In that one week, Sachiko would teach Gon a bit more on Gyo and oversee his training so that she could let him and Killua find their aura type next week. Since she didn't want to show how to use Water Divination, she figured having Wing show them was perfect.

Next day,

"Hey, eyepatch lady, are you going to Heavens Arena today?" Killua asked when he saw Sachiko coming downstairs.

Sachiko yawned before answering, "I don't know, why?"

"Well, we're just thinking of getting to 200th floor. Do you think we could go there already?" Killua asked.

"Hmm..for Killua, I've done pretty amazing job in teaching you Ten, Ren, Zetsu and Gyo so I'd say you're gonna be fine as long as you don't run into the top guys in that floor." Sachiko said as she looked at Killua's aura. "Your Ten is looking great too. Are you following my method?"

Killua smirked, "Of course."

"Thought so." Sachiko nodded, "Well, remember to take plenty of rest and don't forget to play and have fun as well. You know you only get to be 12 once!"

"I know..I know." Killua replied.

"What about me?" Gon asked.

"Well, you still need a bit more training to be able fight on 200th floor but I think it'll be okat to start climbing up to 200th floor." Sachiko replied.

"That's great!" Gon said excitedly.

"Great, now let's go to Heavens Arena. If you're gonna get to 200th floor soon, I gotta make my money by placing bets!" Sachiko said excitedly.

Killua shook his head with a bored look and said, "Why am I not surprised that you would get excited by the idea of money?"

"Coz Killua, my dear brother, the world runs on money! And yes, I know being strong is important and sh*t but come on, you can pay assassins to kill off someone you hate so I'd say money's still important. And without money, I can't go shopping and eat expensive food everyday!!!" Sachiko said, which was not helping her case at all, since Killua was more unimpressed at that.

"...."

Sachiko almost pouted at the lack of change in Killua's face expression but then she remembered, "Wait, does that mean I can get paid by killing people..."

"Don't.." Killua sighed. "Even think about that."

"Eh? Why?"

"You think it's fun." Killua stated.

"Nah, I'd probably hate listening to someone but you know...it's free money." Sachiko replied.

"How is that free money?" Killua didn't understand her logic at all. Does she even think with her brain or does she not have any logic at all? Sometimes, Killua truly wonder if there was actually something wrong with her head.

Sachiko stared at Killua, then bonked his head, "You're looking at me like there's a few screws loose in my head!"

"Isn't it true-"

Sachiko hit him again.

"Seriously..." Killua muttered as he rubbed his head to soothe the pain.

"Come on, let's go!!" Sachiko dragged Killua to Heavens Arena as if she didn't just hit him in the head.

That day, Killua and Gon ended up getting to 160th floor while Sachiko ended up getting to 200th floor. When Killua asked why she went up to that floor, she smiled and said, "Of course, I have to go up there and scout the situation. My little brother's going up there soon so I have the responsibility to make sure you'll be fine."

"When have you ever been responsible?" Killua said, not trusting her. But, Sachiko could see his eyes soften a tiny bit. Maybe he was opening up to her, after all.

"Have a little faith in me, will you?" She said.

"No."

"Fine, I'm tripling your debts-"

"Okay, I trust you." Killua said with a sigh, "Are you happy now?"

Sachiko said with a smile, "Very."

Gon laughed at Killua and Sachiko's interaction while Killua looked at Sachiko in defeat.

"Well, since you already got to 160th floor, why don't you go and rest at home? I'll go check out the 200th floor first." Sachiko told him.

"Okay." Killua waved before going to the elevator.

"Bye, Sachiko san. See you later!" Gon said, following Killua.

After they left, Sachiko let out a smile. 'Now, let's go meet those idiots up there. This should be fun and Killua will think I definitely look out for them because I'm scouting the floor beforehand and stuff. So, it's like killing two birds with one stone!'

With that thought, she went up to 200th floor. The first thing she noticed was the air was defintely different as a lot of nen masters gather at this floor. But, still, Sachiko decided to keep her game and stepped towards the reception, all the while without using nen.

As she walked to the reception desk, she could feel people watching her, probably using Zetsu since she couldn't really pinpoint a direction easily.

"Welcome to 200th floor. Please fill out this form." The reception said, handing her a paper form. "Would you like to register for a match now? This floor is a self-service system where you are allowed 90 days to prepare for a match. You may choose to fight on any day during that period." The reception continued to explain.

"Well, I'll think about when I'll fight." Sachiko said as she was filling the form.

"If you have any day in mind, you can just come here to register for a match." The reception said with a smile.

"Okay. Thanks." Sachiko said, handing the form. After a few more explanations from the receptionist, she started walking to her new room, while looking for the three idiots from 200th floor.

That was when she heard a notification from the System.

[Host has been detected to be in Heavens Arena 200th floor. A new mission has been issued.

Mission : Win 10 matches in this floor.

Reward : Nen knowledge (Advanced), 1 Chance to spin lucky wheel, Random treasure chest x1.]

Sachiko actually stopped in her tracks as the notification came. System mostly was dormant these days if she didn't interact with it so she wasn't expecting to get a mission suddenly. But, after seeing the rewards, Sachiko felt excited.

Maybe she could do more with nen and create abilities more easily if she got the advanced knowledge of nen. Not to mention there was also a chance to spin lucky wheel. That was where op cursed techniques came from!

Sachiko was about to go back to the receptionist to register a match when she heard a series of footsteps.

"You must be the new one who just got here." A red cloaked guy with one prosthesis leg said.

Sachiko looked at the guy and knew it was one of those idiots she was waiting for. His name probably started G, but she forgot his name.

"And you are?" She said.

"We are just heading to the reception to register for a fight." The guy said.

Sachiko nodded casually, "Well, in that case, you can go first."

"No, we won't cut in line so you can go ahead and register first." The guy said with a sinister smile.

"Alright, then, I'll register now." Sachiko didn't care since she knew they were getting tricked into thinking she couldn't use nen. They probably wanted do the 'Initiation' on her and then get a free win.

Sachiko fought back a smile as she filled out the form at the reception. Gido and the others were waiting behind, not even bothering to hide their smiles a bit.

"I'm okay to fight whenever." She said, making them even happier.

'I can't wait to see your reactions later..' Sachiko thought as she left the reception. Gido and the others really fell for it and were registering after she did.
