Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Guidance
What Wright meant by leaving no trace of blood-
It doesn't rely not on any special means, but on thoroughly wiping away every trace of blood, like a diligent and professional cleaner.
Moses, who was observing from the side, didn't feel disappointed. He had noticed that Wright's sense of smell was exceptionally sharp, allowing him to pinpoint even the tiniest drops of blood splattered in the shadows.
After a considerable amount of time passed, Wright finally wiped away the last drop of blood and then took out a neatly folded special body bag.
As a professional Blacklist Hunter, it does make sense to carry a body bag with him.
After placing Ian into the body bag, Wright looked satisfied.
"It's finally done."
"Good work."
Having watched the entire process, Moses timely remarked.
Wright glanced at Moses and said with a chuckle, "Are you disappointed? Did you think that I would have professional cleaning techniques or specialized tools for cleaning blood?"
"I didn't think that much."
Moses shook his head and then inquired, "Your sense of smell is impressive. Is it a natural talent or the result of training?"
"Neither,"
Wright walked to Moses, sat down on the steps next to him, and explained, "I just strengthened my sense of smell using Nen… Well, that's not exactly accurate. I should say that I enhanced the functionality of my nose using Nen."
"..."
Moses was quite surprised and somewhat hesitant.
Wright glanced at him, feeling helpless, and said, "Don't give me that 'this might be his Nen ability' look. Strictly speaking, Enhancers like me who are balanced in offense and defense don't necessarily need to develop unique Nen abilities. Manifesting Aura and the total amount of Aura, along with physical qualities, are our strengths."
"Of course, there are also Enhancers like me who choose to enhance a specific part of their body's functionality using Nen for professional needs. There are quite a few people who do this…"
At this point, Wright paused for a moment, hesitating whether to continue imparting some profound knowledge about Nen to Moses. After all, he wasn't sure how much Moses knew about Nen. Intervening too early might do more harm than good.
"Hmm?"
While Wright hesitated, his attention suddenly shifted towards the temple's gate.
"They're quite fast,"
Having smelled something, he got up and walked towards Moses's room.
He wanted to have a chat with Monica.
From Wright's actions and words, Moses deduced that the person responsible for collecting the body might have arrived.
Three minutes later…
Just as Moses had guessed, a team of around ten people came to visit.
At this time, Wright and Monica walked out of the room one after the other.
"Mr. Wright," Among the approaching team, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows hurriedly greeted Wright.
"Let's just go through the process."
Wright nodded at the thick-eyebrowed man and handed over his Hunter License, then reminded.
"However, don't perform the autopsy here."
"Understood."
The thick-eyebrowed man responded, not questioning or objecting to Wright's requirements.
"Mr. Wright, your identity has been verified. The bounty for Ian Archer will be transferred to your exclusive account as soon as it is approved by the relevant department. This process usually takes about a week."
"Additionally, your achievement in capturing him will be reported to the Hunter Association as soon as possible. Please wait for their response."
After conducting a necessary check on the Hunter License, the thick-eyebrowed man returned it to Wright with a respectful attitude.
"Okay."
Wright took his Hunter License back and said indifferently, "You can leave now, and also, please escort this lady down the mountain."
"Alright. Is there anything else?"
The thick-eyebrowed man spoke while gesturing for his companions to bring the body bag.
"That's all."
Wright waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly.
The thick-eyebrowed man immediately led his companions away. Before leaving the temple, Monica, who was with them, turned back and glanced at Moses.
Watching them leave, Wright sneered, "Achievement? Their flattery is as consistent as ever."
"The process of claiming the bounty was easier than I imagined."
Moses, who is coming to Wright's side, couldn't help but commented.
He suddenly felt that becoming a Blacklist Hunter might not be a bad choice for the future. It not only allowed him to hone his strength through battles, but also offered the opportunity to earn a lot of money.
"That's because I have this. If an amateur hunter tries to claim the bounty, they might face delays of up to a month just for the funds to be transferred."
Wright picked up his hunter license and waved it in front of Moses
Moses remained silent.
After everything was settled, Moses let Wright stay here for the night and then went to rest himself.
There are about two hours left until dawn.
Lying on the bed, Moses stared at the ceiling with open eyes.
He had just learned Nen less than 24 hours, and he had already encountered two Nen users.
It was through them that Moses saw his strengths and weaknesses today.
"Still a long way to go…"
What Moses thought about before closing his eyes was- Both Ian and Wright are characters who have never appeared in the original work. But in Moses's eyes, their comprehensive ability is formidable.
Then, how oppressive would the world's top five Nen users, Hunter Association's Chairman, Netero, the Zodiacs, the Zoldyck Family, and the Phantom Troupe from the original work, be?
As he gradually fell asleep, Moses's last thought was to squeeze out as much training value from Wright as possible in the next ten days.
The next morning, thin mist enveloped the mountains.
Despite only having slept for three hours, Moses woke up. However, Wright was up even earlier and thoughtfully prepared breakfast – a boiled whole boar.
"You woke up just in time."
Wright called Moses to eat the boiled whole boar. While the roasted method was undoubtedly more delicious, boiling was quicker and more convenient.
Wright himself didn't have a preference for taste, as he simply wanted the nutrition and energy that a wild boar could provide.
Moses looked oddly at the wild boar chopped into eight pieces lying in the large iron pot, 'This was breakfast?'
'Shouldn't have expected anything less from an Enhancer…'
'Their emphasis on extracting nutrients for the body is extraordinary.'
Moses, course, wouldn't complain about Wright's good intentions. He sat down and enjoyed this breakfast that could be described as bad in terms of appearance, aroma, and taste.
After finishing the entire boiled whole boar, the two began their actual training.
"Before the sparring starts, you need to at least understand the basics of Ren to make our training effective. If you agree with this proposal, I will now teach you the essentials of Ren so you can learn it as quickly as possible."
In the spacious courtyard, Wright gave his opinion.
"Sure."
Moses responded.
Although he understood the principles of the 'Four Fundamental techniques', he lacked the experience that an experienced Nen user like Wright had.
Seeing Moses agrees, Wright began to impart his experience.
"The so-called Ren is about opening up all the Aura nodes in your body and letting your Nen flow freely… My personal advice is to imagine that you are holding in a strong urge to go to the bathroom, but you can't find a toilet no matter what."
"???"
Upon hearing this, Moses's lips twitched.
