Chapter 59: The favor

Ed recalled Suika and summoned the three monsters. He also got Raikou to pay attention to him.

"Although this wouldn't be necessary, I'll be explaining the main abilities of Nen, the power you just got" Ed talked while he was moving towards the center of the room.

"First of all is Ten" As soon as Ed finished speaking, an aura that looked as gentle as the flame of a candle had surrounded Ed's body and flowed peacefully. "Ten is the most basic ability of Nen, it allows you to defend against emotional attacks as well as some physical ones. Although QI infused attacks would probably break it easilyWe'll talk about it later" Suddenly Ed recalled his aura.

"This state is called Zetsu. All of you were able to subconsciously use it earlier. This allows you to hide the aura of your body by closing all nodes. It can be used with Ten to achieve some more spectacular results which we'll also discuss in another time." Ed was doing his best trying to remember the proper explanations necessary for the basic Nen abilities. "Oh right. You can easily hide your presence in this state, but strong and perceptive people can still notice you, so be careful."

"Next is Ren." Ed's aura this time looked like a raging fire compared to his state earlier when using Ten. "In this state, you can achieve a great deal of additional physical strength while also maintaining an equally impressive defense. However, you'll be doing it at the expense of your energy. This state can also be used to intimidate others by infusing some killing intent. It's a good way to handle mobs of weaker monsters so keep it in mind." After explaining the three of the basic abilities, Ed still had one more.

"The last ability is called Hatsu. I cannot show you an example since this ability is unique to everyone. You can say each of your personalities would affect what type of Hatsu you produce. However, when coming up with your own special ability, I want you to remember the Nen type that you belong to and base it around that." After doing his best to explain, Ed summoned Suika and repeated the explanation once again. He then summoned Gobuta and Goburou to make them train alongside him and Suika.

"For now, I want you to use Ren for the longest possible. After you get tired, I'll let you rest for as much time as you lasted and you'll continue afterward" Ed devised a training program for him and his companions. Every one of them started and invoked Ren. The room which was the pride of the academy looked as if it couldn't handle the amount of aura being used inside it. 'Looks like we'll have to be extra careful' Ed simply shrugged it off and continued his training. After about half an hour, Gobuta, Goburou and Suika lost their entire aura.

Ed recalled Gobuta and summoned Garu and explained the same thing to him. Ed himself lasted about 45 minutes before hitting the ground while Raikou lasted for an hour. Around that time Garu was also exhausted so he recalled him and got the three who had relaxed to continue again.

Ed continued this process for about four hours before feeling like he could not move at all. He decided it was time to end the training and got to the kitchen. All of them had spent a great deal of energy and needed to replenish it. Ed cooked as much as he could and all of them ate everything. Only after eating could Ed feel like he was actually alive.

All of them took a bath once more since they had sweated a great deal in their training. After the bath, Ed hit the bed and fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, his last thoughts were if he could wake up in time tomorrow.

The next morning, Ed woke up feeling refreshed instead of feeling groggy. Suika got up as well while Raikou seemed like he wanted to sleep in. Ed didn't want to bother him so he quickly left to head for the restaurant to get some breakfast. He also left some food for Raikou.

Ed and Suika met up with Ellie on the way to the restaurant.

"Both of you look as if you are stronger than before" Ellie sent some questioning looks at Ed and Suika. It seems that she noticed the effects of Nen even when they were using Zetsu. Ed's eyes twitched a little while Suika looked as if she had small beads of sweat rolling down.

"We trained and cultivated a lot yesterday" Ed mixed lies with some truth and eluded her while walking, which made him remember some stuff.

'System if I recall correctly, Enhancers are supposed to have a straightforward personality and didn't lie at all.' Ed remembered a personality test related to Nen and had some questions about it.

[That is not necessarily true. That is only a basic categorization for it and it can be changed. Special cases always exist in the world.]

The system explained to Ed how such characterization of Nen shouldn't be taken at face value. Everything was deeper than it looked. 'That is kind of true. Netero did seem like a sly fellow even though he was an Enhancer' Ed thought while walking. 'But Suika is charismatic and people tend to like her which is a sign of a specialist' Ed was now sure that what the system had said was true, nothing is absolute.

In the restaurant, he met up with Emilia and Hayato. He looked around for Leon and Stephanie but didn't seem to locate any of them this time. The five of them each ordered their breakfast and waited at a table. Suddenly, someone approached Ed and his friends. Ed didn't feel any maliciousness from them so he simply waited without making any sudden moves.

"Sir Ed, we have a favor to ask of you.' The one who spoke was Ed's classmate. All the people who had approached Ed's table belonged to E class. Ed suddenly felt like he would have a very bothersome day in the academy.

"Sure, let me hear what you have to say." Ed couldn't send them away so he had no choice but to listen to them.

Author's Thoughts

Shigun

Hello everyone! I noticed that a lot of people had no idea about Nen abilities so I tried my best to explain the basic ones in this chapter. The more advanced ones will also be explained accordingly in upcoming training chapters. I just hope I do a decent job explaining them. Enjoy.
