Capítulo 122: Chapter 124 : Comparison!!
"Do you remember the Four Major Principles and Advanced Techniques I mentioned before? For simplicity, you can think of them as extensions of 'Hatsu,'" Germain said.
"There are six Nen types: 'Enhancement,' 'Transmutation,' 'Emission,' Conjuration,' 'Manipulation,' and 'Specialization.'"
"Since your foundation isn't solid yet, you can't develop a unique 'Nen ability' like others. Just be patient; there's still a lot for you to learn."
Kurapika realized he had been too impatient and nodded. "I understand, Germain... Teacher."
When Germain heard Kurapika call him "Teacher," he knew Kurapika was finally trusting him and was ready to set aside his impatience and truly learn.
But Germain couldn't stay with him forever.
He mentioned in the "Stagecoach Group" that he had taken on a disciple and would bring him to the base for further "Nen training."
Everyone was curious about this new disciple. What kind of person would catch Germain's interest? Would he be another quiet, solitary person?
At the same time, Bisky updated the group on her talks with Menchi and Buhara. She hadn't yet shared details about the "Dark Continent," but she had convinced them to visit the base under the guise of exploring the "Danger Zone" and the "Forbidden Zone."
"I think they would be great additions to our team," Bisky said in the "StageCoach Group." "This meeting is the final interview. If they pass, I'll reveal the truth to them."
"Germain, when will you be back at the base? They're arriving on May 5th. If possible, it would be great if you could be there to help decide if Menchi and Buhara are a good fit."
Germain checked his phone's calendar. It was April 24th. He typed back, "I'll be back at the base on May 4th."
"Well, then we'll welcome Menchi and Buhara together."
After Germain agreed, he put down his phone and continued instructing Kurapika.
May 4th.
Germain kept his promise. He returned to the dense forest and the clear lake, standing in front of the mansion.
The mansion looked the same as before, but there was now a small building at the back in the shape of a square, like a block of tofu.
Germain knew it was the new research institute built by Bisgi for Sambica, filled with all the equipment Sambica needed.
Kurapika, holding Germain's suitcase, looked around with curiosity. For a moment, the "Aura" around him faded almost completely.
"You need to multitask." Even without looking, Germain could sense Kurapika's "Aura" flow. "Even if the 'Nen' disappears for just a second, it's enough for the enemy to exploit the weakness."
"Yes, teacher." Kurapika, a bit embarrassed, gathered his energy again, keeping his "Ten" state.
Germain gave Kurapika a brief lecture and then led him to the three-story house with a red brick roof. He pushed the door open with a creak, and the wind chimes inside tinkled softly.
A man with neatly parted hair and slightly narrowed eyes behind his glasses approached. It was Wing.
"Mr. Germain, welcome back. And congratulations on becoming a 'One-Star Hunter.'"
Bisky had heard the news. Although Germain hadn't announced it publicly and the professional hunter website hadn't updated it yet, Bisky had her own sources.
On the day Bisky told Germain the news, the "stagecoach group" was bustling with activity again.
But Germain himself seemed unaffected, as if being named a "One-Star Hunter" meant nothing to him.
"Thank you," Germain said calmly, just as he always did.
Wing, knowing Germain's demeanor well, didn't take it personally.
He glanced behind Germain and smiled. "This must be the disciple Kurapika you mentioned."
"Hello," Kurapika said, noting Wing's shirt that was not quite tucked in, which made him think, "This man doesn't pay much attention to his appearance."
"Please come in," Wing said with a friendly gesture, giving Kurapika the impression that "this man is kind and courteous."
Since Mr. Germain hadn't shared much about the people living in the mansion, Kurapika relied on his own judgment to understand them.
They entered the mansion's hall, now even more splendidly decorated, and saw a young boy practicing a horse stance.
The boy was sweating heavily but looked over with curiosity.
"This is my new disciple Zushi," Wing said with a smile. "He's still learning, so please excuse him if he's not perfect yet."
He turned to Zushi, who had been daydreaming, sighed, and said, "Zushi, come over and greet our guests."
Zushi, a little boy with a buzz cut, relaxed his stance, quickly walked across the soft carpet, and stood in front of the three, bowing obediently.
"Hello, I'm Zushi, the teacher's disciple."
Zushi spoke loudly, then straightened up. Dressed in a white training suit, he tried to mimic Wing's serious demeanor.
Both Germain and Kurapika nodded in agreement.
"Zushi."
Wing was thinking about giving the playful boy a lesson, so he pointed at Kurapika.
"This is Mr. Germain's apprentice, Kurapika. He started learning Nen a week after you did."
Zushi looked at Kurapika, who had short blond hair and a delicate face, with curiosity. He thought to himself, *So, I'm actually ahead of him?*
Wing noticed Zushi's pleased smile and guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head with a chuckle.
"Even though Kurapika started a week after you, his progress in Nen is already better than yours. He's become quite skilled in using 'Ten.'"
"Zushi, ask yourself if you've followed my advice on 'Nen of the Flame' and if you've felt the relaxation of the 'Aura Nodes.' You're falling behind."
Zushi stood there in shock. He couldn't believe it. Kurapika, who started a week later, had already mastered 'Ten' and might even be learning 'Zetsu' and 'Ren' now.
All of Zushi's earlier satisfaction vanished.
Kurapika glanced at the serious Germain, realizing that under Mr. Germain's guidance, his own progress had been quite fast.
Zushi's progress made Kurapika appreciate Mr. Germain even more. He understood that Mr. Germain was dedicated, otherwise, he would still be struggling with the basics.
As always, Mr. Germain didn't boast about himself and didn't care about Kurapika's opinion of him as a teacher.
Kurapika felt secretly grateful.
