<><><><><><><>
Netero, the chairman of the Hunter Association, carries the title of the world's strongest man.
Mika had previously categorized the strong individuals of this world based on his understanding. At that time, he placed Netero at the LV.5 position. Above him was still LV.6. This wasn't to say that Netero wasn't strong, but rather that he was simply too old.
What is Nen? Nen is the ability to manipulate life energy. It's the power to freely control the life energy (aura) emitted from within the body, using it for attack or defense.
The foundation of Nen is life energy. Therefore, as Nen users grow older, their Nen gradually declines. Netero is already 120 years old now. Even if his body is still robust, his life energy has long since fallen to its lowest point.
He was once invincible for a century. Now, in his old age, he's still one of the top existences in the Hunter world, but he can no longer return to his former peak. That's why Mika placed him at the LV.5 position.
The reason Mika came to find him was for Mika's own sake. In his battle with Hisoka, Mika felt his own Nen and was on the verge of awakening it, just one step away. But it was this final step that Mika couldn't seem to take.
After recalling relevant plot points, Mika suddenly thought of a possibility. In the Chimera Ant arc, before being captured by the Ant King, Komugi had already been the undefeated champion of East Gorteau Republic for several consecutive terms. Yet even so, she hadn't awakened her Nen. But during her game with the Ant King, she achieved awakening.
Why was this? Mika thought it was because of the Ant King, an evenly matched opponent. The Ant King, with his powerful learning ability, could master and perfect any skill in a very short time. Before Komugi, many other champion-level players of various board games had been quickly surpassed and killed by him.
But this learning ability failed when he encountered Komugi. No matter how hard the Ant King tried, he ultimately couldn't surpass Komugi, and instead pushed her to a higher realm.
Therefore, Mika felt he now needed to fight against a top-tier martial arts expert. This would stimulate his own state. There happened to be such a person nearby - the once strongest martial artist, Netero!
"I won't play this game with no chance of winning!" Just as Mika arrived at the door of Netero's room, Killua's voice reached his ears. Then, the tightly closed door opened. Killua walked out with an annoyed expression.
"Are you leaving, Killua?"
"Oh, it's you, Mika!" Seeing Mika, Killua, though a bit surprised, explained to him, "There's an old man inside who doesn't act his age, always thinking of weird ways to trick us kids. It's really irritating."
"Who's not acting their age?!" Netero shouted loudly.
But Killua didn't pay him any attention at all, just saying goodbye to Mika: "So I'm going back, to avoid being tricked by him again!"
With that, he waved his hand and walked towards the other side of the corridor.
Looking at Killua's retreating figure, Mika shook his head and walked into the room.
Inside the room, Gon was constantly rushing towards the ball in Netero's hand, trying to snatch it.
"How about it, little boy? Do you want to play too?" Netero, excited by Gon's enthusiasm, invited Mika.
Hearing Netero's invitation, anger immediately surged in Mika's heart.
"Who are you calling a little boy?!"
After going through the trials in the Demon Slayer world and Danmachi world, Mika was now almost fifteen years old. At this age, how could he accept Netero calling him a little boy?
However, after shouting once, Mika didn't join Netero and Gon's game. He quietly sat by the wall, observing their game.
"I'll play, but after Gon finishes. It's his game time now."
"I see!" Looking at Mika's silent expression, Netero's smile diminished slightly.
Although he couldn't sense any aura from Mika, Netero's century-old martial arts instinct told him that there was a sharp feeling about this young man before him. This was the feeling of a top-tier swordsman.
"So young?" Just as Netero was focusing on Mika, Gon suddenly took the chance to lunge for the volleyball in his hand.
Caught off guard for a moment, Netero almost lost the ball. Although he didn't let Gon snatch it away, he ended up using both hands.
Even when facing both Gon and Killua simultaneously, he had only used one hand and one foot!
It was precisely because he noticed this that Killua gave up continuing to play with Netero.
"You used both hands, right? That means I won!"
After Killua pointed out Netero's holding back, Gon didn't give up. Instead, he set making Netero use his other hand as his goal.
After achieving his goal and excitedly shouting for a while, he quickly fell asleep.
"This kid!" Netero shook his head with a smile and used the room's phone to instruct the airship's pilot to fly slower.
After finishing the call, he turned to look at Mika.
"So, I suppose it's your turn now?"
"Naturally!"
Slowly standing up, Mika took out a wooden sword from behind him and swung his arm. This wooden sword was carved by him from the trees in the forest of the second test, shaped to fit his hand perfectly.
As his body gradually heated up, Mika's eyes changed, and his own aura burst forth from within him. This was a warrior's fighting spirit.
"I never expected to encounter such a young 'Sword Saint'!" Feeling Mika's fighting spirit, Netero's smile couldn't be contained.
As a top-tier martial artist who had been unrivaled in the martial arts world for decades, Netero had been yearning for an opponent for many years.
Praying for martial arts, praying for life, and craving for opponents. This was his everything.
The next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from within Netero, instantly filling the entire room.
This terrifying aura wasn't Netero's Nen. It was his fighting spirit. That fighting spirit filled with an invincible belief.
Under the pressure of this fighting spirit, Mika's own aura was like a small boat rocking in a violent storm at sea. That almost crushing presence made Mika feel like he could barely breathe.
"So this is the fighting spirit of Netero, the man who has been invincible for decades?"
Feeling the pressure of this fighting spirit, the energy within Mika also became active, beginning to circulate continuously inside his body.
This was a pure clash of fighting spirits.
People unfamiliar with martial arts might not feel anything when facing Netero like this. But the further one had progressed in martial arts, the more intense this pressure would feel.
In this state, even swinging his sword was extremely difficult for Mika.
However, Mika had anticipated this. Having felt a similar sensation from Yahweh before, Mika was prepared. Moreover, this feeling still fell far short of Yahweh's pressure.
Recalling his original intention, reorganizing his beliefs, gathering all his strength, since he couldn't contend with Netero's fighting spirit externally, he would shift the battlefield.
A scorching sensation flowed through Mika's body.
Immense energy accumulated within Mika, then flowed through his arm into his sword.
Gathering all his power internally to drive his body, Mika's foot stomped heavily on the ground. He moved slowly yet swiftly towards Netero's location.
He swung his sword towards Netero's head, a strike that concentrated all of his power.
As this strike was delivered, the energy accumulated in Mika's body instantly erupted, breaking through its limits.
At the moment this attack was launched, Mika fully awakened. He became a Nen user.
