Gladiator [K.Zoldyck X fem!Reader] (HxH)

↜3rd Person Pov↝

"Simply put, this is Nen." said Wing, looking at his new students. He continued: "Nen refers to the ability to manipulate your aura, also known as life energy. Every person possesses a small amount of life energy. But in most cases, it's simply discharged."

The trio of friends looked at the flower pot that Wing had showed them. It had a bunch of flowers sticking out of it. Through the porcelain. It was strange.

Wing walked around, saying: "The ability to build up a shroud of life energy is known as Ten. You can make your body sturdier, and considerably slow the effects of aging. Then comes Zetsu. As you may guess, this nullifies your aura."

He wrote onto the whiteboard as he explained. "It is effective for concealing your presence, and recovering from extreme fatigue. Which brings us to Ren. A technique to create an especially strong aura."

Concentrating on his aura, Wing then smiled, knowing that the three before him could feel his presence. "Can you feel that?" he asked nonetheless, not wanting to rush this. It could be dangerous.

Killua answered: "Yeah, I can feel the pressure." "But it doesn't feel dangerous." added Gon. (Y/N) nodded, saying: "Nothing like Hisoka's." Wing simply smiled, saying: "That's because I have no hostile intent."

(Y/N) tilted her head a little, asking: "So it can be threatening depending on someone's mood?" "Aura is an energy that comes from within humans. which makes it very effective against other humans. For better or worse. If you attack a helpless person, with ill intent, you can use aura to kill." explained Wing.

While the tension in the room grew, the young Gladiator released a soft sigh, shaking her head. She muttered: "That's useless. What kind of show would that be?" Killua rolled his eyes at her, yet couldn't help but to smile a little. Her mind was still as simple as ever.

Brushing over her comment, Wing said: "Only one thing can protect you from someone who uses Nen. You must also learn to use Nen. You must use Ten for defense. Block the other person's aura with your own. Otherwise, your body will be crushed."

Wing held a hand onto the wall behind him, concentrating his aura on his palm. He then released it, causing the wall to break partially, leaving a huge dent and lots of cracks in it.

The trio stared at Wing with wide eyes, all of them completely taken back by the sheer power hidden within a human being. Feeling her determination rise, (Y/N) put an arm around Killua's and one around Gon's shoulder.

She pulled them a little closer to her, causing the boys to almost trip as her smile grew. She said: "I wanna do that, too! That's so cool! Let's learn it!" Gon began to laugh, replying: "Alright! I'm in!", while Killua tried to hide his blushing face.

Not wanting to waste any time, Wing said: "There are two means to awaken your Nen. The deliberate way and the aggressive way. Zushi underwent the deliberate method. He was a quick learner, and he trained hard. So he was able to master Ten in a very short time. In about six months."

Killua grew irritated, saying: "That's too long! We need to learn Ten, and pass Hisoka's Nen barrier before midnight!" "Then you'll have to try the aggressive method." "Will it be fast enough?"

"That will depend on you. Can you learn to hold your aura within your body, before time runs out? That is the key. I will now direct my aura toward you. This is known as Hatsu, which I demonstrated earlier." said Wing, holding his hand out, ready to start.

Hearing this, Killua immediately tensed up, holding a protective arm out in front of (Y/N). Noticing this, Wing quickly said: "Naturally, I will restrain myself, since my objective is not to destroy your bodies. However, this way is still perilous. In other words, I will attempt to shock you into awakening."

(Y/N) took Killua's hand into her own, smiling at him, as to say thank you. She appreciated his protectiveness. She knew that she was too carefree sometimes, and he easily made up for that. Just another thing she likes about him.

Wing said: "I will give your sleeping body a jolt, so you can learn Ten more easily. I say that your bodies sleep, because your body's openings, or micropyles, are closed, meaning that your aura flow is stunted. Therefor, I will send my aura into your bodies, to open your micropyles."

"Too many fancy words..." complained (Y/N), trying her best to understand what he was telling them. Wing said: "Under normal circumstances, you would spend a lot of time meditating and discovering your own auras, while slowly opening those apertures. Even Zushi, a natural talent, required three months. However, you three could do it in a week. Or even sooner."

Now that was an unmistakable message. The three of them shared a quick glance, as Wing continued. "Which is why I find it unfortunate that we have such little time to work with." Killua lifted his free hand up, resting his arms behind his head as he said: "I don't really get it. But quick and shady is always better."

"This is a dirty, highly frowned upon method. You will be ignoring the correct procedure. You could even die, if the person using this method were weak or evil." noted Wing. Gon immediately said: "But you aren't weak, and you aren't evil. Right?"

Wing sighed, not sure if he really should use this procedure on the three of them. Killua said: "That's why I want to know... Why would you suddenly decide to teach us the true four major principles?"

"Because I did not want to squander this opportunity. If you were to challenge the 200s, with none of this knowledge, you would suffer greatly. Up there, everyone knows how to manipulate Nen. And they have a special greeting for any newcomer ignorant of Nen, a Nen attack." explained Wing.

"Sounds... actually pretty interesting." noted (Y/N), with Killua immediately saying: "It sounds dangerous, idiot." Wing spoke up once more, gaining their attention.

"In other words, they do what I am about to, but without restraint. They don't care, even if people die... Only those who survive are allowed to pass. They are the chosen. However, they pay a steep price. That's why I wanted you to be prepared." he said.

Putting his hand out, he said: "Now, despite my attempts to scare you, I have confidence that this will awaken your power! You have the potential. As well as the ability. Put your belongings down, take off your shirt, and turn your backs toward me."

The three of them did as told, each of them now dressed in a tank-top. Killua's blue eyes traveled over the visible scars over (Y/N)'s exposed skin. His chest tightened as he realized just how many there were. She suffered a lot of injuries while fighting, huh? She met his gaze, smiling sweetly at him. And with that, Wing began.
