Chapter 95: Chapter 23 : Enhancement
In a vast terrain, we could see a ground with several small craters, rocks cut in half, trees uprooted from several hundred meters away.
But the strangest sight was that of a bare-chested man who was constantly pounding a huge rock face with his fists.
Each of his fists broke a piece of rock, he struck tirelessly, repeating words to himself.
"Hard!"
*Gang*
"Hard!"
*Gang*
His fists bled, their flesh was crushed; one could almost see the bones of his phalanges, he used no aura, only his pure physical strength, plunging his mind into a kind of hypnotic state.
After 19 hours of training, James finally stopped, he spat out of his mouth a piece of stone and fell to the ground with his tired body covered in sweat.
It had been a month that he had been dedicating himself to enhancement his nen, the manipulation and enhancement are the
categories closest to emission.
He had never had time to dedicate himself to enhancement because of his lack of aura in FMA and never had time afterwards but while attending Uvogin's fight and during his fight against Hisoka who was using enhancement at a master level in each of his moves, he understood the importance of it.
Enhancers are able to greatly increase their physical attack and defense and are best suited for melee combat.
He was an emitter, which means that he was a user with a natural facility to separate his aura from his body.
The aura generally decreases in intensity very quickly when it leaves the source body, but adept Emitters can separate their aura from their body for long periods of time, over long distances, while still being able to maintain its functions.
He was able to do this.
After two of intensive training that he spent improving his emitter attacks with the other categories of nen, he was able to create several distance attacks, but that's the problem.
If an experienced enhancement user like Uvogin ever gets close to him and launches a close combat, he will probably lose if he relies only on his emitter abilities.
A emitter is a specialist in ranged combat and James like all emitters was specialized in this field, he had the long range attacks Fist Realease, Ball Burst, Long Shot and Canon Balls, supression attacks that he had created to make the enemy retreat like Leg Blade and Palm Shock, both caused little damage to a nen user but was still useful against the non-user.
But in front of individuals mastering Enhancement like Uvogin or Hisoka, his attacks were quite unitile, the only reason for his great strength is his alchemy.
Thanks to his shock waves he could repel the attackers and by using them as attacks he could cause serious injury.
In a way one can even say, that he is more gifted in alchemy than in nen.
But this had a defect - aura consumption.
During his fight against Hisoka he had to give up his alchemy, his greatest asset because it consumed his nen too quickly, after analyzing his fight he realized that the fighting style he had created was really bad.
After 4 hours of sleep, James awoke, then jemade his spell book appear in front of him and took out a card.
"Gain."
The card turned into food, he reluctantly ate with an expression of disgust.
"I'm going to have to look for a taste alternator on the black market once I get home, the taste of Fisher Tiger's roasted cockroaches is even more pleasant to eat than this infamous thing I eat".
He took out another card from his book of spells and revealed a medical kit in which he took bandages with which he wrapped his fists.
Over the last few weeks, he was constantly hitting the rocks, trying to feel the hardness and solidity of the stone, biting pieces of stone during his training, caressing the rock and looking at it for several hours a day.
"Nen is a para-psychological ability. Mind, psychology, mood, will, belief."
"It all shapes an individual's nen."
His gaze emptied of all emotion, a dark aura slowly emanated from his body, he concentrated in his left fist his nen which took on a reddish color.
He looked at the rock face in front of him, then with a step, he sprang towards it with a punch.
*Bang*
His fist hit the rock face, crumbling the rock, the whole rock face shook, cracks spread over its surface.
"Haha...haha...."
James slowly withdrew his fist from the wall before sitting on the floor laughing while looking at the huge hole more than seven meters deep that he had left in the rock.
During this time maybe it was destiny or a simple chance encounter but in any case Gon and Killua met a mysterious young girl (ಠ_ಠ) with blond hair called Biscuit.
Who decided to follow them, that's how their stories in Greed Island began.
