Braving the pressure, they enter the room, which is now in ruins. The walls are constantly cracking from Loki's surging Nen. If this continues, the ship might be destroyed. Everyone's eyes are on Loki, lying in the center of the room.
"It's him!" Menchi exclaims, surprised that Loki is the one whose Nen was forcibly awakened by Netero. Menchi had noticed Loki during the exam, impressed by the kid who passed her initial trial. Loki's potential is undeniable, but now, because of Netero, it might be wasted…
"What… Chairman, what happened?" Satotz, who also noticed Loki, is shocked.
Netero sighs. "Let's not talk about that now. I'll try to wake him and help him control his Nen. If not, contact the Association and find someone who can seal Nen abilities. Be ready."
Satotz nods and prepares to leave to contact the Association.
Suddenly, Loki sits up.
'Awake?' Netero is surprised. He was hit with a close-range Nen blast, yet he woke up so quickly. 'This kid's physique is incredible!'
Suppressing his surprise, Netero says, "Kid, don't move! Listen carefully. I'll help you control this power. Otherwise, you'll run out of energy and die. Do as I say, first…"
Before he finishes, Loki stands up, feeling the surging power. His eyes gleam. 'This is Nen…'
Loki discovers his Nen is rapidly growing stronger. A warm current flows through his body, strengthening his Nen with each rotation. This feeling is familiar—it's the same as when he first received Yō Asakura's power!
'Could it be… that the awakening of Nen is converting Yō Asakura's vast shamanic power into Nen…'
Loki hadn't noticed Yō Asakura's shamanic power before. It seems it only awakened after his Nen awakening.
"Don't move!" Netero shouts, as Loki ignores him. "This isn't the time to observe this power! Listen to me! You must maintain…"
Netero stops, his expression frozen, his eyes wide, staring at Loki. Menchi, Satotz, and Buhara are also stunned, as if they've seen something unbelievable.
Loki's Nen has stopped surging and is now under his control, gathering in his fist. He's using Nen control techniques, concentrating it. His fist glows brighter, and the air swirls around it. The power is increasing; the ship might be destroyed!
Netero rushes toward Loki. "Kid, don't! Be careful…"
Loki opens his hand, and the Nen, which was concentrated in his fist, forms a Nen sphere in his palm. He sees Netero stopping, understanding his concern about destroying the ship. He gently lowers his hand, and the sphere disappears.
His control is as smooth as someone who's practiced Nen for decades. Netero and the others are numb. People who can quickly control Nen after awakening aren't unheard of. Such talent is rare but not shocking. But Loki can control Nen effortlessly, as if it's instinct. This is unbelievable talent.
Even exceptionally gifted individuals need extensive training to master Nen techniques. Loki masters it upon awakening. The difference is vast.
Menchi sits down, a wry smile on her face. "This kid… is a monster?"
"Indeed. I've never seen someone with such terrifying Nen talent," Buhara says, moved by Loki's talent.
Satotz shifts his gaze from Loki to Netero. He thought Netero was unique, but a younger monster has appeared, making him question his own Nen talent.
Even Netero is amazed. His Nen is the result of years of training. Loki has skipped all that and reached an incredible level. Even Netero, at his level, is stunned.
Loki withdraws his Nen, feeling it still growing stronger. Yō Asakura's vast shamanic power isn't fully converted yet, but controlling Nen is effortless. It's like eating and drinking.
Loki looks at Netero. "Chairman, shall we continue the game? I didn't get the ball earlier. I want to try again."
Netero and the examiners are surprised by Loki's first words. What game? What are they trying to get? Was this accident caused by the game?
"Hahahaha!!" Netero laughs, stroking his beard. "No need to continue. You should easily get the ball now. I don't want to hurt you."
Loki's eyes brighten. "So, I…"
"You win!"
"I don't need the other trials…"
"Correct. You're a Hunter! Your license will be sent."
Netero narrows his eyes. "But I have a question."
"What is it?"
"Will you be my student?"
Loki doesn't answer. The examiners are stunned. Netero, the old monster, wants a student…
The ship's violent shaking prevents rest. Soon, the shaking stops, relieving everyone. But they want to know what happened. The captain contacts Netero, who makes excuses.
The examiners return to the rest room, exhausted. They witnessed the birth of a monster. The impact is immense. They doubt their own talent.
Worse, the old monster took the young monster as a student. Who knows what terrifying monster he'll create?
