《Bloody Specialist》


 #1 - Death x Reincarnation

    In 2020 my life changed dramatically. After getting the job I have fought so hard for, my colleagues, in a fit of envy or perhaps just hate, decided that I did not deserve the position of vice president of the board of directors of a major international company and they forced me to leave the company by making my life a hell.


    Feeling betrayed by my former colleagues and heartbroken, I refused to leave my post and continued onward. What I did not know at that time was the evil that awaits in the heart of people eaten by envy.


    A few days after that very kind proposal to leave my post, at three in the morning, on a Sunday, I received a visitor who took everything away from me.


    When I looked around, the only thing I could see was the darkness. Everything was in incredible silence, to the point of being terrifying.


    With my right hand I touched my leg, and the only thing I noticed, apart from the most extreme pain I have ever felt, was the water-like substance, flowing through my leg, soaking everything around me.


    Quickly, in a rush of adrenaline, with a superhuman effort I got up from my bed, and walked to the switch to turn on the light.


    When the light illuminated the room, I realized that my life was over.


    Strangely for me, I woke up in a forest, on the main branch of a large tree, perhaps the largest tree I have ever seen.


    With my body stretched, without moving a muscle, perhaps I was still in shock from the strong impression of the same death, I began to look around.


    The forest was completely silent, something that scared me even more. The sun gradually began to illuminate the forest, allowing allowing me to see. The first different thing I saw, apart from the huge sea of trees, was an immense city, located at what seemed to be about four or five kilometers.


    A few more minutes, I placed my hands against the branch where my body was stretched, to try to get up. To my surprise, tThe tree branch was very wet from a red colored substance.


    Getting up, I noticed that my whole body was drenched in blood, what surprised me was that although it looked like that was my blood, I had no wounds, or at least did not feel that I was hurt.


    I quickly took off the shirt I was wearing and checked the state of my body.


    Nothing, absolutely nothing. My body was in perfect condition, I would say I even gained some more muscle. I touched my left leg to try to find a hole or a wound, but everything was fine.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    Suddenly, the part of my feet that was in contact with the blood began to emit a strange white light.


    More precisely it was a light coating, which wrapped a small part of my feet.


    The blood spilled on the tree branch began to move. Something very strange because apparently that blood had the gift or ability to not be affected by a basic law such as gravity.


    Or thinking about it, maybe it was due to that strange light that covered my legs.


    The blood did not stop until it reached the limit of the coating, leaving my feet in a crimson red color. I tried to move my right leg, making quick gestures to see if I could remove the blood strongly attached to my feet.


    After a few more moments, I personally saw how little by little the blood began to evaporate. Perhaps the best term would be absorbed. My feet were sucking up the blood. In a few seconds later, not a drop of blood was left.


    "Hell, what the fuck is going on? First they try to murder me in my own house, then I appear in an unknown place, without any sign of having been stabbed, and to fill the glass, my feet can be covered with a light and absorb blood . " the young man thought, without losing his calm.


    (From now on I will start using the third person.)


    Looking back at the city in front of him, he quickly concluded that it would be the best to head there.


    "First I need information on where I am, also to see if I can get some new clothes, since I am wearing a T-shirt and pajama pants. - The young man thought while going down, very carefully, from the big tree.


    Upon reaching the ground, the boy surprised himself with his excellent physical condition, since normally such an action would at least cause him some fatigue but apparently did not affect him at all.


    This fact further increased his calm and confidence, in addition to being a person with great ability to resist situations of total stress, a skill gained in his old job, since from a young age he began to work and climb positions until he became the vice president of a very important company.


    The young man, left the forest, and went to the entrance of the city. People looked at him, since apart from going in his pajamas and barefoot, the boy acted strangely, stopping every while to observe everything around him, with great interest and curiosity, making him attract people''s attention.


    Besides, the boy was handsome, he seemed to be about twenty years old, with a toned and healthy body. What stood out the most about his physical appearance was his long black hair, as dark as the same night, that reached his waist.


    Another trait that made the young man charming to others was the color of his eyes. A strong green, which stood out even more thanks to the color of his hair.


    The young man stood next to what looked like a newspaper vendor. And without saying a word, the young man directly grabbed one of the newspapers, and started to read it.


    "This language is none that I have seen so far, but the strange thing is that I can actually read it. This is getting more and more weirder. " - thought the young man, while he continued reading the newspaper.


    "Hey you, if you are not going to buy it, put it back in its place." - said the seller, with a certain threatening tone.


    "Relax sir, I just wanted to see one thing, here you have." - The boy replied, leaving the newspaper in the same place from where he grabbed it.


    He rebuked his way again, but this time he had a clearer idea of where he was. He decided that the best thing would be to look for an old man to get more information, since they usually have more time and patience to deal with strangers.


    Said and done, the boy approached an old man sitting on a bench near a park.


    "Good morning, would you mind if I ask you a few questions?" - Asked the boy.

 #2 - Heavens Arena x A Plan To Make Money

    "No problem, I''ll try to help you, if I know the answer of course." - replied the old man.


    The boy smiled upon hearing the answer from the kind old man.


    "As you can see by how I am dressed, I have had a few problems, what I would like you to indicate to me is the name of this city and the country." - said the boy.


    The man stared at him a few moments before answering.


    "Boy, do you have amnesia or something?" - replied the old man.


    "Yes, I woke up here without remembering much, just my name and a few other things." - He said again.


    "Then let me clarify some doubts for you. We are in the eastern sector of the continent, the Republic of Padokia, and this city is internationally known for the Coliseum of the sky also know as Heanvens Arena. Does this sound familiar to you? " - The old man said, taking his time while specifying each thing.


    "Hm. I see, I am definitely no longer in my world, I have no fucking idea of ??what the Republic of Padokia or this coliseum of heaven is. I''ll have to find out later. Now my priority is to get some money, maybe I should look for a job until I know a little more about this new world. " - thought the young man.


    "I really don''t remember anything about this kind of arena, nor about this country." - Shakal said, in a low voice.


    "You must have forgotten about it, Heavens Arena is world famous." - explained the old man.


    "I see, thank you very much for telling me sir, one last question, is there any kind of adventurer''s guild or any company that is interested in hiring workers?" - Asked the boy.


    "With a guild, I suppose you mean the hunters association, although to enter you will have to pass an exam so I don''t think it''s what you''re looking for right now. I have no idea about any company that is looking for workers, but if you want to get money, the fastest way is to go up the floors of the coliseum. You seem to be very strong, so you shouldn''t have any problem to do it. " - replied the old man.


    "What do you mean by going up the floors, if you don''t mind telling me." - The boy asked again.


    "The coliseum is divided into different floors. In them the fighters or martial arts master fight against each other, always in individual combats. The more battles you win, the further you will climb in the tower. " - said the old man. "The good part of that is that as long as you win you will receive cash prizes. I have heard that starting from the 100th floor you start to earn a lot of money, the fighters of the floors above one hundred are, for the most part, millionaires. " - he finish saying.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    "I see, thank you very much. You are very kind, take care of yourself. " - The boy said as he said goodbye to the old man.


    "Goodbye boy." - he finished saying.


    On the way, the young man thought of various strategies to deal with his current situation.


    "First, I have no money. Second, I have no family or friends. Third, I don''t even have a place to sleep tonight. " he thought to himself. "The million dollar question is, should I go to the coliseum or just find myself a normal job. I think that with my body in this state I could try my luck in the coliseum, and if everything goes well I could earn some money. Even if I don''t have any experience in combat, if everything goes well and I can win some battles, I could sign up to learn some martial art. "


    The boy followed the directions of the people, until he reached the coliseum.


    "Hm. Basically it''s the damn biggest construction I''ve ever seen! " - he screamed in his mind.


    Upon entering, the young man observed several people forming a line to register. He askes for the last person in the line, and he patiently waited until his turn came.


    "Good morning, how can I help you?" - Asked one of the two girls,


    "This girl is an idiot, obviously I''m here to sign up." - thought the boy. "Good morning, I would like to sign up." - he finished saying.


    "Here is the form, when you finish completing it, let me know." - The girl replied, handing to him a sheet and a pen.


    A few minutes later, the boy handed to her the form.


    "We will check the data again to see if everything is in order. Your name is Shakal Morningstar and you are twenty years old. Right?" - asked the girl.


    "Yes." Shakal replied.


    "Very well, we also ask for the name of the martial art you practice, but I see that you have left it blank." - The girl said again.


    "Yes, I don''t practice any martial art." - replied the young man.


    "I see. Very well, finally we just need to take your photo and you will have everything in order. " - The girl said as she indicated the way to Shakal.


    After several more minutes, and to the young man''s surprise, they already had his fighting license ready for him. They also warned him that his fight would start in half an hour or so.


    Shakal made his way to the locker room. He was still wearing his pajama top and pants. And honestly it was starting to bother him the way people looked at him. Luckily for him, robes of various types of martial art were free in the locker room for all contestants.


    Shakal dressed in a karate robe, and sat on the sidewalk to wait for his fight.


    Time passed, and suddenly a young man, about twenty-five years old approached him.


    "Hello, your first time here?" - asked the boy.


    "Yes, my name is Shakal." - He replied while waving his hand at him.


    "Eden, a pleasure to meet you." - The boy said returning the greeting.


    "And tell me Eden, is this your first time here too?" Shakal asked.


    "Yes, I am here to get some money. I had certain problems with a dojo and right now I am broke. " - Eden said, totally sincere about his situation.


    "I see, I am also here for the same reason." Shakal said.


    After a while of silence. Eden asked.


    "And tell me, Do you consider yourself strong?"


    Hearing the question, Shakal doubted whether he should answer truthfully or simply tell a lie.


    "Hmm, you will see it in due time." - Shakal replied, giving his words a touch of mystery.


    Eden upon hearing the answer, simply smiled without saying anything else.

 #3 - Combat x Reward

    "Today''s fifteenth match. We will see the qualifying match of the new rookies. The fight will be between Shakal Morningstar vs Nickel Sukuasi."


    Hearing his name on television, Shakal got up, and walked out of the room, determined to do his best in this fight.


    Upon entering the ring, all the spectators began to applaud and shout the names of the two contestants. The stands were full.


    Shakal''s adversary was a tall, pale-skinned man. The man overcomes the hundred and forty kilos with ease. The difference between their bodies was too great so many people began to support Nikel more than Shakal, since he seemed to have more opportunities to win.


    Shakal from his oponent expression deduced that he was the arrogant type, since when he saw that the difference between their bodies, the man began to act as if he had already won the match.


    "This is not going to be easy, I will have to dodge his punches quickly or the difference in size and weight will play against me. A positive aspect is that he already considers this battle won. The more he underestimates me, the more chances I have to win. " - thought the young man.


    The match referee approached and began to explain the rules of combat..


    "Any type of martial technique is allowed, but weapons are prohibited. Any use of weapons is prohibited. If any participant uses a weapon, they will be disqualifying from the combat and permanently expelled from Heavens Arena. The winner is decided once the opponent is knocked out. Killing your opponent is not allowed. If you step on the ground, outside of the ring, you are eliminated. "


    After the referee finished saying the rules, the sound of a huge gong was the signal to start the fight.


    The two fighters upon hearing the gong started to move. Although both in differently directions.


    Nikel, who had an advantage for his great body, launched himself forward with a surprising speed, for a man of that size. Instead, Shakal did not move too much, he just stayed near the edge of the ring, waiting for the attack of his opponent. He maintained a somewhat strange position, since his back was strained and his feet were bent.


    In a few seconds, the big man reached Shakal and with his right hand raised and his fist clenched, he prepared to hit Shakal.


    Nikel''s speed shocked Shakal, although the young man was able to dodge, the punch from his enemy, with a small somersault to his right side.


    To everyone''s surprise, when he dodged the attack, Shakal managed to connect a blow while somersaulting. He hit with his left leg towards the left side of Nikel''s ribs.


    "Hm. Such a weak blow does not cause me any pain. " Nikel said with a sadistic face.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    "Someone as slow as you can''t even hit me." - Shakal replied, trying to piss off his opponent.


    Hearing Shakal''s words, Nikel was furious.


    "Damn you, when you will have the guts to take one of my hits, then you can say that to me." - he scream as he reloaded his charge towards Shakal.


    Shakal followed the same strategy as before. The young man plan was to hit his opponent constantly, if possible in the same place, to cause him real harm.


    Although his initial attack connected, the damage he produced was negligible. But if he manages to hit multiple times in the same place, Nikel will not be able to endure the pain.


    Again, Shakal ran to the edge of the platform, and he returned to his fighting position, awaiting the attack of his opponent. The man decided to continue using the same type of attack started running towards Shakal. When he got close to him, Nikel tried again to hit with his right fist.


    The fist came from the right, with a quick movement Shakal dodged on his right side, in the same way as last time. He tried to kick with his left leg again but Nikel using the inertia generated his heavy and quick blow, he managed to turn his entire body towards Shakal, thus blocking Shakal''s attack with his right arm. Shakal, seeing that his attack was completely blocked, quickly turned away from his opponent.


    "The same trick won''t work twice, asshole!" Nikel yelled, reloading towards Shakal.


    "He is not as silly as he seems, I need to think of something else to defeat him. It seems that he is not so good at using his legs. Maybe if I manage to hit his leg while he is running, it could unbalance him." - the young man thought, while remaining calm.


    Shakal, again, returned to his position near the edge, and in the same way as last time, he strained his body.


    "Damn brat, you think your little strategy will work this time." Nikel yelled.


    "Come and find out" - Shakal replied calmly.


    Nikel shot out at the boy.


    "This time I will have to attack him just when he tries to hit me. If I can hit his support leg, I can unbalance him and throw him out of the ring. " Shakal thought.


    Nikel reached the boy, and attacked again with his right fist. Shakal quickly concentrated on seeing what his supporting leg was.


    "His left leg!" - shouted in his mind as he jumped to the left side of his opponent.


    Nikel turned his body again thanks to the inertia of his strong punch, and while waiting for Shakal''s attack to block it with his hand, he was surprised to see that the area where the boy''s attack was directed was very different from what was expected.


    Shakal gathered all his power in the attack that he launched with his right leg towards Nikel''s left leg. The blow knocked him to the ground, and without giving him time to get up, he quickly threw him out of the ring.


    Off the platform, when he was eliminated, Nikel''s face began to burn with rage.


    "Damn monkey!" Nikel yelled.


    The referee quickly approached and ended the battle.


    "The winner is Shakal Morningstar. You can receive your award at the treasury."- shouted the referee.


    People applauded the performance of the two fighters, some were dissatisfied with the boy''s victory, but most accepted his way of fighting.


    Shakal quickly left the ring, and without even going through the locker room, he made his way to the treasury area to claim his prize.


    "Hello, I just won my first match, I would like to receive my award." - Shakal said as he gave his permission to the girl at the counter.


    The girl smiled at him and handed him a small envelope.


    "Here you have. Would you like to have another fight today or do you want to leave it for another day? " - asked the girl.


    "For today, please!" Shakal replied.


    After saying goodbye to the woman, he sat down in one of the many armchairs reserved for the contestants and opened the envelope.


    "Hell, just this amount of money." - he screamed in his mind.

 #4 - Defeat x Counterattack

    A day later, inside Heavens Arena, in an empty hallway, next to a drinks vending machine, was a young man sitting on a bench, having an isotonic drink.


    After his first victory against Nikel, the huge pale-skinned man, Shakal managed to ascend directly to the twentieth floor. Then he had his second fight, this time directly on the twentieth floor, against a woman named Arlia, who gave him quite a bit of trouble since her agility surpassed his own. Using other fighting strategies, he managed to win his second match.


    Thanks to his second fight he reached the twenty-fifth floor, and his reward increased to twenty thousand jenny for fight. After the arduous battles, and very tired, he left the Heavens Arena to find a small and modest hotel.


    Shakal paid for a one-night room, With the rest of the money, he bought some food, a pair of black jeansand and some white shirts..


    Upon arriving inside the room, he quickly turned on the television and searched for a News channel.


    The young man began to collect information about this new world.


    "First, today is 5th of February, 1995. Second, it seems that there are several continents, just like on Earth, but the surprising thing is that there are various types of animals and magical beasts, according to television some of them are friendly while than others not so much. Most of the beasts live in unexplored areas. Normally the only ones capable of taking hold of magic beasts are the so-called hunters. It seems that belonging to this organization has many advantages. I''ll have to do more research on them one of these days. Third, I need to start my physical training and learn more about this world, whether from books or the internet. " - With this in mind, Shakal fell asleep.


    At half past eight in the morning, Shakal prepared to go running. He weared the karate suit that he got at Heavens Arena to avoid dirtying his new clothes. He paid for another night at the hotel, so he decided to leave his equipment there.


    "Since my new body has a lot more resistance I will start training with a daily routine of about three kilometers and another hour of exercises to improve my speed and strength." Shakal thought.


    A few hours later, inside Heavens Arena.


    "Good morning, I would like to fight today." Shakal said to the girl at the counter.


    "Good morning, very good, I will organize a fight for you. Go to the locker room, and wait your turn. Thank you." - replied the girl.


    Shakal nodded, and without saying anything else started walking towards the locker room. Upon entering, he encountered several other fighters, among them two people scared him a little.


    One of them was a bald man with a very long brown beard, about two meters tall. His fear came from the man''s first fight, as he managed to defeat his opponent with a single blow, and in an instant.


    The second person he did not want to face was a woman, six feet long, long hair. In her first combat, she managed to beat a huge man, perhaps two or more times he size.


    Luckily for him, the next match was announced on television in the locker room. Mr. Ballon against Miss Maria. The two left the locker room.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    At the beginning of the fight, Marie seemed to have a clear advantage, since she was much shorter and more agile than Bolan, but even so, the giant exceptionally withstood the woman''s blows.


    A few moments later, Bolan managed to grab Marie''s left arm, stopping all of Marie''s blows.


    With titanic force, Bolan knocked Marie out of the ring, winning the battle.


    "What an incredible battle, they are both very good fighters. From what I saw, Marie made a small mistake in the trajectory of her attacks, allowing Bolan to catch her arm. And Bolan only needed that to defeat with one blow. " - Shakal thought, commenting the battle in his head.


    Without giving him more time to reflect, the next fight was his own. The following fight appeared on television alongside the names of the participants. Mr. Shakal vs. Mr. Dorian.


    Both Shakal and his opponent left the locker room to head to the ring.


    Upon entering, people began to applaud them, shout their names and even gamble.


    The betting was clearly in Dorian''s favor, as he won all of his other battles quite easily.


    The two were placed in opposite positions within the platform, waiting for the gong to begin.


    "He''s the same height as me, I didn''t see any of his previous battles so I know next to nothing about his fighting style. I will have to be very careful. I will let him make the first move, I will react based on his attack. " Shakal thought.


    The gong rang, and the referee stepped out of the ring, leaving the fighters as much space as possible.


    The two fighters started a war of looks, without making any movement. After a few moments, which were eternal for the public, Dorian spoke.


    "I don''t think you can beat me in your current state, give up and you won''t be hurt."


    "Hm. That remains to be seen, you should stop talking and show to us from where so much confidence comes from." Shakal replied.


    Dorian looked at him for a moment, then opened his mouth again.


    "You have a very strong body, it seems well trained, but your experience and your technique are disgusting, to begin with you probably don''t even have a martial technique. I must admit that in your previous battles you used very creative tactics and with that you were able to win the fights. But against someone like me, your little tricks will not help you. "


    "I told you before, if you have the ability, stop talking and show it." - Shakal replied, entering his typical combat position.


    In that instant, Dorian''s body disappeared. Shakal, losing sight of him, quickly began to look around him. Dorian, with his great speed took advantage of the carelessness of his opponent to get behind him and with a strong blow, right in the spine, he threw Shakal about three meters towards the inside of the platform. Luckily for the boy, the blow did not send him out of the ring, although it left him in a very bad state.


    Dorian stood in place, looking at the young man who was desperately trying to get up.


    "As I told you, when you face a pro like me, your tricks are useless. Surrender now or you will recive even more damage. " Dorian said.


    Shakal barely got up from the ground, and with many complications remained on his legs.


    Hearing the words of his enemy, and perhaps due to fatigue and accumulated damage, his celeb quickly insisted that he should leave the ring and withdraw from the battle, but his heart indicated otherwise.


    With an effort on his part, he raised his right hand, and quickly showed him the middle finger.


    Dorian upon seeing the young man''s response, and seeing that he did not surrender despite the difference between the two, shot himself towards Shakal, with superhuman speed. Just like the first time, Shakal lost sight of his opponent.


    "What the hell is going on? How can I not see him if he attacks me head on! " - he asked himself.


    Fallen in despair at his poor ability to face his opponent, and fear of further damage, in the brief instant that Dorian''s terrifying fist collided with Shakal''s chest, a white aura quickly engulfed the young man. Despite the aura, Shakal''s body was sent out of the ring by the power of the blow, knocking him out.


    The referee quickly called the doctors.


    "The winner is Dorian." - The referee said before being surprised and asking. "Hey, are you alright? Your arms are bleeding. "


    Dorian looked at his arms, and saw that he had two rather large cuts on both sides of his right arm, the same arm that he hit the boy with.


    "I''m fine!" - He answered before leaving the ring.

 #5 - Strange Plan x Nen Classes

    Inside Heavens Arena, in one of the private rooms for fighters on the 100th floor or higher. Two men were having a conversation.


    "How the hell did you get those wounds on your hand?" - Asked one of them.


    The other man, known within Heavens Arena as Dorian, pondered his partner''s question.


    "When I hit that kid, he unconsciously woke up his aura to protect himself from the impact, and also somehow, my hand ended like this. I suppose his hatsu has a cutting property or something like that. " Dorian replied.


    The other man nodded.


    "It seems that staying on the lower floors was effective in your search for people capable of using nen." - said the unknown man.


    "The strange thing was that the boy seemed to know nothing about the nen. But definitely, his hatsu is quite troublesome. From what I can deduce, he is probably a specialist, since without having received training in nen, I think only a specialist is capable of something similar. " Dorian replied.


    After a time of absolute silence.


    "Should we start with the plan now?" - asked the other man.


    "Not yet, I have seen another fighter who probably knows how to use nen. I will have to check it personally. " - Dorian finished saying.


    At night, inside the Heavens Arena hospital, Shakal lay stretched out on a bed. His body was healed, he was only recovering energy from the arduous battle.


    Although it was already night, he still couldn''t sleep.


    His previous battle left him with many questions, both about his opponent and himself.


    "The same thing happened again, I reactivated the same aura as when I appeared in this world, but this time in my entire body. It felt so good, it seemed like all my physical characteristics exploded, reaching a level that I never imagined a human could reach. The blow that sent me out of the ring hardly hurt me. But it seems like having that thing activated drains a lot of energy. I will have to investigate more about it, maybe I should talk to that bastard Dorian, his damn disappearance trick could be related to that mysterious power. " Shakal mused.


    The next morning, Shakal was already fully recovered from his fatigue. He thanked the doctors who helped him and left the medicine department.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    He still had some money left from his won matches, so he decided to go to breakfast in one of the restaurants in Heavens Arena.


    To his surprise and luck, an acquaintance was present in the same restaurant as him.


    "Hey Shakal, come to eat with me." - Eden said, waving his hand at him.


    "Hello Eden, how are you?" - Shakal asked as he returned the greeting.


    "Fine, enjoying the food." - answered.


    "I see, it looks delicious, by the way, what floor are you on right now?"


    "I am currently on the one hundred eighty-fifth floor. And I will stay there for a little while longer. I need to make even more money and it is on those floors that they pay the best. " - Eden replied, with a sincerity that amazed Shakal.


    "Damn, his already on the 180th floor and we started the same day. " - Shakal shouted in his mind.


    "Congratulations, you did climb fast." - Shakal said to his friend.


    "Thank you. What I don''t understand is why you are not on higher floors. I saw your last battle and how you activated your aura to protect yourself from the blow of your opponent. You should always use your nen in fights, it would be easier to win. " Eden said casually as he ate another bite of his food.


    "Bingo!, Eden has information about that aura thing, it is my opportunity to learn more." Shakal thought.


    "Nen?, I indeed used what you call aura to defend against that blow, but I do not know how to activate it myself, so I cannot use it in other combats." - Shakal answered sincerely.


    "Strange, you don''t seem to lie, perhaps you have awakened your nen naturally, without the help of anyone." - Eden said in a low voice.


    "Could you explain what Nen is?" Shakal asked,


    "Hm, let''s see how I can explain it to you. To know what the nen is, I will have to explain what the aura is first. The aura is the vital energy produced by all living organisms for survival. The aura of the entire body tends to flow together, producing a mass of energy. That energy is what you activated in your combat. Now that you know what the aura is. I will concisely explain to you what nen is. Nen is the ability to use the aura that flows through the body, using different techniques to modify its use. That is what I can tell you right now, but if you want to learn more about it, you can come to my room when night falls. I will explain to you the basic theory and some other training methods. " - Eden explained.


    Shakal upon hearing his friend''s words was even more shocked. Now he understood more and more about the whole strange subject known as aura.


    "Thank you very much, I will come to your house when the night comes. I want to know more about this mysterious power." - answered.


    "Don''t worry buddy, it seems you have an innate talent for nen, it would be a shame if nobody taught you how to use it. But if you want to thank me for the information I give you and what I will teach you tonight, take the hunters exam and become one. When you get the license, your debt to me will be fulfilled. "- Eden said with a smile on his face.


    "I don''t know why you''re asking me for this, but I accept." - Shakal replied gratefully to his friend.


    The two finished eating, Eden, seeing that his friend had almost no money, he paid him for his food.


    Then each one went his own way. Shakal started with his daily training routine, running a few kilometers, this time he ran five, and then started practicing punches and kicks in different positions. Due to his poor economic situation, the young man was forced to train in one of the parks in the city.


    Today he had no intention of fighting, he wanted to go with all his energy to his friend''s Nen classes since it was an opportunity that he could not waste.

 #6 - Hatsu x Blood

    As night fell, Shakal began to head toward Eden''s room. In about ten minutes he was already outside his door. He rang the bell and waited for his new friend to open the door for him.


    "Hello, I''m here." - Shakal said the moment the door opened.


    "Get in." - Eden replied.


    Shakal examined his friend''s room. It seemed simple enough, a sofa in the middle, in front of the sofa was a small table that held a television. On the left side of the main entrance was the kitchen and bathroom and on the right side of Eden''s room.


    What surprised Shakal the most was the huge whiteboard, which was next to the television.


    "Sit down, we''ll start with the theory class right away." - Eden said, preparing his pens to start writing on the board.


    Shakal took a seat on the sofa and without saying a word, he focused his attention on Eden.


    "Well, first as I already explained the definition of the nen and aura, now I will explain the different parts.


    The first principle is Ten, basically, it is the ability to prevent the aura from escaping from the body. Using this basic principle, the body gains more strength and a great ability to resist large forces applied to the user''s body. In addition to that, it also has other uses such as if the user uses Ten for a long time in his life, his body will age more slowly compared to an ordinary person.


    The second principle is Zetsu, it is an ability that allows the user to stop the aura that flows around his body. It is useful when you are spying on someone and you don''t want that person to know that you are there. Without using Zetsu, the person you are spying on can find you only by the aura your body emits. That is why this technique is very important. With this principle it is necessary to be very careful since if you are in a state of Zetsu and you receive a nen attack, your body will have no defense and you will take damage as an ordinary person.


    The third principle is Ren, it consists of increasing the flow of aura in the body. A lot of training is required to be able to maintain ren for long periods. I don''t have much more to comment on this principle, so let''s move on to the last of the basic four.


    The fourth and last basic principle is the Hatsu, but I will explain it to you once I finish explaining the advanced principles.


    The In is a more advanced zetsu technique, which allows you to hide your aura from other nen users, but unlike zetsu, you only hide your aura to the naked eye. It also takes a lot of practice to use it in the middle of combat.


    The Gyo, is In''s counterpart, which allows you to see the aura that the others are hiding. Gyo is a taller form of Ren. To achieve this, one must create a lot of aura and focus it on his eyes.


    There are more advanced principles but these are the most important in my opinion. " - finished explaining Eden.


    Shakal made a mental note of all the exact definitions and examples used by Eren.


    "You still have to explain the hatsu to me." - Shakal said.


    "I''ll explain it to you right now, but first but first I need you to have your aura fully activated." - Eden said.


    Shakal got up from the sofa and stood next to his friend. According to Eden''s explanation, he would now use his aura to unlock the pores of Shakal''s body and once he has them all unlocked he will be able to start practicing several of the basic principles.


    After about four hours, after midnight, in a private room on the 185th floor, two men were in a meditation position.Stolen story; please report.


    Shakal in the four hours of practice after awakening his aura, managed to understand the concept of the first three basic principles. It could keep his aura in shape for a good amount of time before it runs out of power.


    "I already have a basic command of these techniques, the one that costs me the most is Ren, but with more practice, I will be able to increase my aura more. Damn, with all this nen thing, I greatly increased my battle power. Now I just need to practice and master these techniques, prepare myself a good base and then begin to build my power little by little. " - Shakal thought while using zetsu to completely nullify his aura.


    Eden was in shock, even him who came from a family related to the world of the nen, could not understand the terrifying speed with which Shakal learned to master the principles.


    After several more hours of practice, there was little left for dawn..


    "It is time for you to learn the last basic principle, the Hatsu" - said Eden.


    Hearing his friend''s words, Shakal rose from his meditation position and sat down on the sofa again.


    "The hatsu is the application to use the nen, each person is born with a type of hatsu. There are six very different types of it, differentiating from each other. Each person is born with a type of hatsu. The main or birth Hatsu is the only one that you can master 100% of its power, but you can also train the other types. Now we will go to see the type of your hatsu. " Eden said as he prepared the test of the glass of water.


    Curious about what Eden was doing, the boy got up from the sofa and walked to his side. Eden explained to him what the test of the water glass consisted of and informed him of the six types of nen.


    Shakal used his aura on top of the glass. To the surprise of both of them, the water began to increase in volume and turn reddish. After a few moments, the color started to get darker, and the water started to flow more slowly.


    Eden told him that he could stop his aura now.


    "My friend, you are a Specialist. So you can dominate your birth type of Hatsu by 100%, then Manipulation and Conjuration follow with 80%, Emission, and Transmutation with 60% and finally Enhancement with 40%. You are the complete opposite of me since I am an Enhancement type. " Eden explained.


    "Specialist huh!" Shakal thought. "Then how should I proceed to create nen skills?


    Eden was left to think a bit about his friend''s question.


    "I honestly have no idea, Specialists are usually people with very rare abilities. Surely your aura tells you what your ability is. Also, remember what I explain to you about the conditions that you use on your nen. The more strong conditions used your hatsu will be stronger, but also more complicated to use. Never forget the rules of your conditions, especially being a Specialist, since you will depend a lot on your abilities. " - finished explaining Eden.


    Seeing that Shakal was quietly reflecting on everything he learned tonight. Eden suggested that he take advantage of the two hours he has left before the sun rises to meditate and look for answers within himself.


    The hours passed, the clock pointed to nine in the morning, Eden already left Shakal alone in his room.


    Luckily, the hours of meditation helped him discover and expand his nen ability.


    "Now i understand all of my skills." Shakal thought with a smile on his face.


    Name: Divine Art - True Blood Emperor


    Nen Type: Specialist


    Abilities:


    1- Blood Manipulation - The user can transform his aura into a substance similar to blood. When the aura takes the properties of blood, the user can manipulate it at will, creating objects or weapons. The more aura used on the created object, the more power gains the object in question.


    2- Blood Extractor - The user can absorb the blood of his opponent, allowing him to copy his hatsu for a limited time. If the user transmits their blood through Blood Infection to an ally, they can obtain the copied hatsu. If the ally that receives the copied hatsu is a nen user, he can use it only for 5 minutes, instead of the ally is an ordinary person, if he manages to kill the owner of the copied hatsu in the following 5 minutes after receiving the hatsu, he will keep his ability permanently.


    3- Blood Infection - The user can modify the blood of his target to provide him various illnesses or disadvantages.


    Terms:


    1- Blood objects created by the user with the Blood Manipulation technique will disappear instantly if user aura is no longer in contact with them.


    2- The number of objects the user can create is limited to six. The user can sacrifice part of his blood to increase the number and improve its qualities.


    3- To copy the enemy''s hatsu, the user must absorb his blood or aura through a cut caused by his Blood Manipulation ability


    3- Once the user copies a hatsu with their Blood Extractor ability, they will obtain the knowledge and experience of their original user. The copied skill will be in his possession for ten minutes. At that time he must decide whether he wants to keep it for himself or give it to an ally.


    4- If the copied ability is given to an ordinary person, and he manages to kill the target in the specified time, all of his six categories of hatsu will be reduced by 15%.


    5- Blood Infection can only be used in a cut made by the Blood Manipulation ability. The bigger the cut the stronger Blood Infection will become.

 #7 - Meeting x Favors

    Months passed and both Shakal and his friend, Eden, advanced into the Heavens Arena. The two made a lot of money, surpassing the huge amount of 300 million jenny. Aside from the incredible amount of money, Shakal gained a lot of experience in combat. Fighting twice a day for three months, without counting the daily training, He managed to improve his combat skills to an incredible level, beating most of the fighters at Heavens Arena. His nen also strengthened, in the first two months, he managed to completely dominate the basic principles, and although not perfectly, he could now use In and Gyo in combat without having to focus on them.


    He learned to control his Blood Manipulation technique almost perfectly, creating various weapons such as daggers, a scythe and some swords. Instead he did not have the opportunity to practice the other skills he possesses.


    The two of them made it to the 200th floor, passed the tests, and won their respective battles.


    Shakal tried to find Dorian, but unluckily he had already left the arena.


    Shakal also knew Eden more deeply, apart from his background, as the member of a mercenary, who shielded their support for the one who paid the most and his long journey to raise enough money to pay for his departure from the clan.


    The two friends also fought each other for practice several times, although Shakal was rarely able to claim victory, as Eden''s nen type makes him extremely strong in one-on-one combat.


    Inside his private room, Shakal was lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone in his right hand.


    "Hey, how are you?" - the boy asked Eden.


    "I am resting, it is very rare that you call me on the phone, I think this is the third time in all this time." - Eden replied.


    "Yes, I hate talking on the phone. Look, I wanted to tell you that tomorrow I''m going to sign up for the hunter exam. I''ll be leaving very early in the morning, so we won''t see each other for a while. " - Shakal said.


    "Very well, once I get to make the five hundred million jenny and buy my exit from the clan, we will meet at the assigned point. Until then try to recruit more people for our group and above all get your hunting license. " Eden said.


    "Understood, be very careful with the leaders of the upper floors. They seem quite strong. I''ll call you back once I get my hunting license. In the meantime, if I meet someone interesting, I will invite him to join our group. " Shakal replied.


    After several more minutes of conversation, the two said goodbye.


    The next day, first hour in the morning, Shakal already packed all his luggage in a small backpack.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    These months, despite having a lot of money, he doesn''t bought too many things, the little free time he had was dedicated to his training, so he did not have time to go shopping.


    Shakal said goodbye to the two girls at the reception and quickly headed towards the train station.


    Now his mission was to find a guide to take him to the location of the exam. The first thing was to get out of the city of Heavens Arena and head towards a coastal city. There he will find a broader source of information about the hunter test.


    Time passed quickly and the train was about to reach the closest city to the ocean.


    When leaving the train, Shakal observed a young girl, quite short, with pink hair, wearing a ponytail.


    A pretty attractive girl. The woman was resting with her eyes closed on a bench covered by a cement roof to protect from the rain, but what alerted Shakal was the huge crack that was quickly opening in the cement of the roof.


    Shakal quickly, with his inhuman speed obtained after several months of training, came right in front of the woman. Although Shakal did not pay much attention to her since he was concentrated to see where the roof was going to fall, he managed to see that when he arrived right next to her, the woman quickly opened her eyes and tensed her entire body.


    Shakal quickly realized that the woman was a nen user since she sensed his presence immediately. Seeing that Shakal was standing right in front of her. She opened her aura to intimidate him into walking away. But without the woman expecting it, Shakal grabbed her hand to save her.


    When Shakal''s hand grabbed the girl''s arm, she was already on the verge of counterattacking him, but stopped when her aura came in contact with the huge concrete slab that fell from the ceiling.


    Once out of danger, Shakal gently released her arm, and raised his hands, trying to calm the lady down.


    The girl quickly understood the situation, and withdrew her aura either in a zetsu state or perhaps in a In state.


    "Sorry, I scared you! I saw that the building was about to fall and I ran as fast as I could." - Shakal said returning to his normal body position.


    The woman stared at him for a while before speaking.


    "My name is Machi, thank you very much for helping me." - replied the girl, bowing her head.


    Don''t worry, it was nothing. Take better care of yourself next time, bye! " - Shakal said as he walked towards the exit of the station.


    "One second" - Machi shouted for Shakal to stop. "I don''t like to owe people favors, there is something I can help you with, anything."


    Shakal thought for a few seconds, before answering.


    "I would like to participate in the exam to become a hunter, but I have no idea where the tests take place. Won''t you know somewhere where I can meet a guide? " Shakal asked.


    Machi pondered for a bit before speaking.


    "Currently a friend of mine took his license a short time ago, he could give you the address of the city where he found his guide." - replied the girl.


    Without letting the young man speak, Machi opened his mouth again.


    "I think that with just this little information, the debt would still not be paid, so you can ask for something else. "


    "Hm, thank you very much for the information. It really is not necessary. This information is enough for me. " Shakal replied.


    "For me, owing someone a favor is very important. So tell me whatever else you need. " - Machi said.


    "I see that you insist a lot on this. But I also have nothing else to ask you. " Shakal replied.


    Without giving him time to say anything else, Machi quickly spoke.


    "Think of something, anything." - said the girl.


    "Hm. Then join me in taking the exam, unless you already have a license. " Shakal said.
