...
Now, more than three months have passed since Mika and his companions arrived in the Hunter world.
Over these three months, Mika has learned everything about Nen, completing their initial goal.
Therefore, Mika brought up the idea of returning to Orario.
After all, with three months having passed, Airmid and Mellie's ability stats should have reached their limits by now, and it's time for an update.
Additionally, in a week, Mika and Airmid will face opponents on the 200th floor of the Heaven's Arena.
All of those opponents are Nen users.
Once they defeat them, Airmid and Mellie's feats will be considered accomplished.
In that case, they will need an update to their abilities for their next level-up.
Of course, besides this reason, Mika has some other thoughts, but for now, those aren't important.
What's important are Airmid and Mellie's opponents in a week.
"How are your preparations for the battle next week?"
In the living room, upon hearing Mika's question, Airmid and Mellie began to report their progress.
Over this period of training, Airmid and Mellie had diligently trained in the basics of the four major principles of Nen, solidifying their foundations.
Moreover, compared to Airmid, Mellie's Nen ability had already taken shape and would likely soon be perfected.
"No surprise there, Mellie! Not only are you incredibly talented in magic, but your mastery of Nen is also exceptional."
"Hehe, that's the gift of an elf!"
Mellie smiled proudly, then looked at Mika with curiosity and asked, "Mika, have you not mastered your Nen ability yet?"
"I haven't!"
Mika shook his head and said helplessly, "Conjurers generally manifest some kind of weapon, and to do that, one must thoroughly understand that weapon first."
"Therefore, a conjurer, after deciding on the weapon they want to manifest, must spend a lot of time with it, smelling, tasting, touching, and hitting it daily until they dream about it to complete the weapon's manifestation."
"Wow, that sounds troublesome!"
Airmid couldn't help but complain.
Mellie, on the other hand, curiously asked, "Have you decided on the weapon you want to manifest, Mika?"
"Of course!"
"What kind of weapon is it?"
Seeing their curious looks, Mika slightly raised his hands.
They were covered by a pair of finely crafted, smoothly designed gauntlets.
From his hands to his forearms, both of Mika's arms were encased in these gauntlets.
Touching the sharp fingertips, Airmid and Mellie looked even more puzzled.
"Mika, do you want to conjure gauntlets? I thought you'd go for a longsword, greatsword, or armor. You don't seem to use fists much."
"Who said conjuring gauntlets means using fists?"
Seeing their confusion, Mika smiled, "Do you know what President Netero's Nen ability is called?"
"It's called Hyakushiki Kannon!"
"My Nen ability inspiration comes from his Hyakushiki Kannon. I experienced its immense power, which left a lasting impression on me!"
After expressing his admiration, Mika saw that they were still confused, so he didn't elaborate further.
Instead, he continued to check their progress.
After thoroughly understanding their progress, Mika asked about their Nen ability development. The three then began the process of developing their Nen abilities.
...
"Yo, Gon, Killua! Long time no see!"
The day after arriving at the Heaven's Arena, Mika went to visit Gon and Killua.
"Oh, Mika. Did you finish your training?"
Seeing Mika suddenly appear, Killua surprised.
After all, they were quite good friends.
"Yeah, it's finally over. If it weren't for President Netero's tight schedule, I would've gone with Gon to find you."
"It's fine, Airmid and Mellie came anyway."
Killua accepted Mika's intentions warmly.
"Did you train in Nen under President Netero?"
Ever since learning about Nen from Wing, Gon had been very curious about it.
Killua, naturally, felt the same.
"Yes, I finished my Nen training, which is why I'm here now."
"You two are also training in Nen, right?"
"That's right!"
Gon replied happily, "Killua and I are being taught by Wing-sensei. But because of previous dangerous actions, I've been banned from training or learning about Nen for two months, and I'm currently under that ban."
"Well, Gon, you should reflect on that!"
Mika said with a playful smile.
"But doesn't that mean you won't see Airmid and Mellie's debut?"
"Airmid and Mellie? It's okay. Airmid healed my arm before, and Mellie discussed Nen with us while thinking about it."
"So Gon can watch their matches."
Killua explained to Mika.
"Then you guys should really pay attention! They're quite different from before."
Mika said with a smile.
...
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
It was time for Airmid and Mellie's duels.
Their duels were a day apart, with Airmid being the first to fight.
Her opponent was Gido, a member of the trio of combatants who had previously injured Gon.
If not for Airmid's healing magic, Gon might still be recovering from his injuries.
"Hehehe, how lucky! Another easy win."
Looking at the young Airmid, Gido thought excitedly to himself.
On the 200th floor, any duelist who gets ten wins before four losses earns the right to challenge the floor master.
Defeating the floor master allows them to take over and monopolize that floor.
Above the 200th floor, each floor belongs to a floor master.
Becoming a floor master brings endless honor, making them renowned in the martial arts world.
With that fame, these masters can live comfortably, enjoying their glory for life.
Therefore, everyone on the 200th floor hopes to earn the right to challenge the floor master and take their place.
"The match begins!"
At the referee's signal, Gido swiftly launched dozens of tops.
He infused his aura into these tops, making them incredibly destructive.
If a normal person were hit in the arm, their arm would likely be torn apart on the spot.
"Infusing aura into objects to increase the strength of the body or weapon. Like me, you're an Enhancer, but your technique is quite crude!"
Airmid mused silently.
Unlike Airmid and her companions, who had undergone formal Nen training through the Hunter Exam, Gido had learned on his own, making his technique very crude.
"That's why you target newcomers for easy wins!"
"But even if you get ten wins, can you really defeat the floor masters who have been challenged by many experts?"
"Know your place!"
Wielding her spear, Airmid said seriously.
