16 Regret

Falling onto his bed Leon sighed, ' I want to test my ability on people who aren't leagues above me. I should probably keep on training though the sooner I finish the faster I can leave. '

Sitting on his bed Leon let his Nen surround him, using his breathing exercise Leon tried to fight off boredom only to give up twenty minutes later. ' I just discovered an ability that could make me a superhero and I'm already bored. '

Rubbing his eyes Leon looked out the window to see a small red bird sitting on a tree outside, ' I wonder if Nen can strengthen your eyesight, moving some of his Nen to his eyes Leon blinked at the results. Leon could see the small aura around the bird, ' I think I found a cure for my boredom. '

Leon started to experiment with moving around his aura quickly figuring out that Nen without the proper control could be dangerous.

He, unfortunately, found that out after crashing into his wall when he tried to walk with all of his Nen focused around his feet.

After some more crash testing, Leon figured out the perfect balance to enhance his body, ' Forty percent in the whole body, sixty percent in the specific part. ' Looking at the active Aura around his body Leon grinned, " Now if only I had someone to spar with, the maids and Illumi stopped being a challenge a long time ago.

My moms training Milluki, dads on a trip, grandpa wants nothing to do with me now. I remember why I wanted a vacation. ' Sighing Leon paced on the roof of his room, ' I am destined to be forced into a life of boredom. ' As Leon questioned why he ever left Meteor City Zeno walked through the tunnels underneath the manor.

Arriving at a small elevator Zeno got in as the box barely large enough to fit four people started to descend rapidly. Exiting the box as it stopped Zeno looked into the darkness as a huge figure loomed from the darkness, a few seconds later a large feather dragon pushed its snout into Zeno's chest lifting the small man off the ground.

Rubbing the dragon's snout fondly Zeno walked past the guard dog coming to a pair of large bronze doors. Gently pushing on the two-ton door Zeno looked into the somehow darker cave, " Are you ready to die yet old man. "

" Who are you calling old wasn't you're sixty-seventh birthday not too long ago. " Zeno smirked at the old wisened voice, " So you remembered your son's birthday, now about the real topic of your interest. " Maha's old voice laughed lightly, " Ah, yes my great-great-grandson how is he doing with his Nen training. "

Zeno's voice lost its joking attitude, " He's already started to develop his Hatsu it's a powerful ability that gives him some form of clairvoyance, but I have a feeling that only the barest of its abilities. " Maha was silent before he spoke, " Tomorrow I start training him, for at least three years. " Zeno nodded, " What else do you have to say. "

" Can you leave the door open and bring down some candles, it been over four years and the air is a little bit stale. " Zeno regained his smile, " You must have gone crazy in the last few years. "

Waking Leon felt someone looking at him grabbing the dagger hidden under his pillow Leon put it right underneath Zeno's chin. " Good morning is it time to start training again. " Zeno moved the knife from his throat and nodded, " Yes I talked with my father and he says that you're ready to start training, for three years you'll be stuck in a cave with a ninety-year-old man and a juvenile dragon. "

Leon smiled, " Besides the dragon part nothing new. " Zeno raised an eyebrow, " Are you calling me old. " Shaking his head Leon threw off his bed covers, " Not at all, not at all. "

Getting out of the elevator Leon stared at the dragon acting like a dog smelling him up and down, ' Why did I agree to this again. ' Wiping off the saliva when the thing licked him Leon fought the urge to puke at the smell, " Is it too late to a shower. "

" I'm afraid so my boy, don't worry the smell fades in a few days. " Leon looked over at the dwarf of a man who used a cane to walk, " So I guess, I'll be bunking with you for the next three years or so. " Maha chuckled as he stopped in front of, " While I like a joke I won't have it getting in the way of training. " Jumping up Maha tapped Leon on the head with his cane, the strike was infused with Nen however so Leon was sent to the ground. Maha looked surprised at the result, " You can already use nen to defend yourself, good very good.

Now come along. " Groaning Leon got to his feet and saw that his grandfather was already in the elevator, " Good luck, and don't try to escape it makes the training worse and the elevators one way. " Cursing the man in his head Leon pushed himself to his feet, " I regret this so f*cking much. "

Sitting down on a rock Maha stared at Leon his hands resting on his knees, " So you're my grandson, hey, you think you're hot stuff don't ya. " Leon didn't know how to respond when Maha continued, " Ah who cares, now what's your ability boy. "

" When I fight someone or observer their movements it's all recorded in my book as a music piece. Once it's in my book I can gain insight into what they might do next, but it's limited as of now I can only calculate a few attacks ahead and I still have to react to it. "

Muttering to himself Maha stroked his chin before he clapped his hands, " Well it just seems that we need to train your reactions, the rest we'll discover along the way. Now lets get started. "
