I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

The sudden appearance of the voice and the content it described which was quite perplexing, left Moses startled.

"Perception? Nen Exorcism count?"

Moses collected himself, and his expression is neutral.

As a person from another world, his first thought was of a 'system'.

'However, was this so-called 'Perception' really akin to the existence of a system?'

Moses didn't feel excitement or joy because of this. Instead, he involuntarily thought of the nightmare from last night. The resentment in that dream left a deep impression on him.

And the timing of this voice was just…

Too coincidental.

So much so that it made him skeptical about his current situation.

He was, after all, in the world of Hunter x Hunter.

One must understand that the world of Hunter x Hunter revolves around Nen, a unique power that can materialize imagination into reality, giving rise to countless peculiar abilities.

In other words…

If last night's dream was real, then—

Without knowing about this ability, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the resentment had tampered with him somehow.

It is also possible that he was still trapped in a dream, yet to wake up, or maybe he was under the influence of a Manipulator's command.

The worst possibility was that his memories were being tampered with.

The more Moses thought about it, the more muddled his thoughts became.

Because he had a clear understanding of the ability system in this world, these coincidental and suspicious incidents made Moses think more and complicate things further.

After all, in the original work, even Nen abilities like upgrading through murder existed. So, what is impossible?

Nen itself is full of infinite possibilities.

Based on this understanding, Moses's thoughts kept spiraling… However, he soon calmed down.

Rather than indulging in wild thoughts here, it would be more productive to take actual steps in discerning the origin of the voice.

If it's indeed a system-like existence, that would be the best.

But even if it wasn't, he needed to clarify its nature as soon as possible.

"System?"

"Perception?"

"Nen Exorcism count?"

Moses began trying to call out the voice that appeared in the depths of his consciousness.

However, he received no response.

"Am I doing this wrong?"

Moses murmured to himself and then stopped trying to call out, and instead focused on recalling the content the voice described earlier.

But after several attempts, there was still no response.

"What exactly is that voice?"

Moses frowned.

Whether it is a system or an unknown entity, there's no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. And even if there were, the first reaction wouldn't be excitement, but vigilance.

If he couldn't figure out the full nature of this voice, he wouldn't even be able to have peace of mind.

However, before he could fully understand it, as long as this so-called 'Perception' didn't harm him, it would be an acceptable situation.

Also, it was essential to quickly confirm the authenticity of the Nen Exorcism count.

This isn't too difficult. He just needed to find a trace of residual Nen to verify it.

With that in mind, Moses adjusted his mood slightly, then left the room after washing up and changing into clean clothes.

As he stepped into the corridor, a chilly morning breeze caressed his face.

Moses subconsciously looked towards the release pond in the courtyard.

It is very calm, with nothing unusual.

He hesitated for a moment before walking over to observe the release pond up close.

There were no abnormalities. He couldn't see or sense any Nen or Aura.

It was as if the fierce resentment from last night had never appeared.

Moreover, he had clearly been injured by the resentment the previous night, and waking up with no signs of it was impossible.

If it was not because the dream was so vivid, he wouldn't have any doubt at this moment.

'I hope it was just a dream…'

Moses silently thought to himself, then headed straight for the main hall.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, lifted his foot over the threshold, and walked in.

The floor of the hall was paved with red bricks, with crimson pillars standing on both sides after entering the door.

At the end directly in front of the entrance were three altars. And behind them sat a four-meter-tall golden statue, with three heads and six arms.

Apart from this, there were no other furnishings in the hall, making it particularly simple and bright.

Moses then looked up at the fierce deity.

Every time he saw this fierce deity, Moses would think of Netero's Nen ability, the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He wondered if he would ever cross paths with legendary figures like Netero in the future.

After staring at the statue for a few seconds, Moses turned his attention to the left altar, where various items were placed.

There were photos, cotton gloves, DVD discs, pendants, and other common items.

All these items were relics left by the deceased.

Moses stood in front of the altar, lowered his head, and looked at the various relics. With a quick glance, he discovered faint black threads attached to some of them.

The intensity was almost zero, posing no threat whatsoever.

Moses directly picked up one item, a photo entwined with black threads.

The photo depicted a glamorous and beautiful woman, who looked quite familiar. It seems that she was a female celebrity.

Flipping the photo over, there was a line written on the back:

"Erin Nako, I'm so infatuated with you, but why have you never given me a second glance, not even once?"

"Uh…"

A slight twitch appeared on the corner of Moses's mouth.

'The deceased who wrote this line must be a fanatical star chaser with no rationality or thinking ability at all.'

'No wonder they could manifest Post-Mortem Nen as an ordinary person.'

"Well then, let's use you for verification."

Moses's body emitted a glow of Nen, and with his hands, he gently gathered the resentment entwined around the photo into the palm of his hand.

The moment Moses completed this prayer-like action—

Without any warning, information about the Nen Exorcism appeared in Moses's head, as if an inherent instinct, seamlessly integrating into his cognition:

"Nen Exorcism Count: 1/1."

A single-use opportunity, with no need to bear any cost or consequence.

Moreover, after completing the exorcism, an 'Emotion Fragment' with various uses would be extracted from it.

This remnant seemed to be the crystallization of a soul…

However, compared to the Emotion Fragment, a single Nen Exorcism ability without any cost is the one that could drive the vast majority of Nen users crazy.

This was akin to having a Purification skill to the Nen user, allowing them to instantly nullify the Nen effects imposed by the enemy.

If used appropriately, it will be a trump card that can turn the tide of battle.

Even if it's not for battle, this single Nen Exorcism ability could be exchanged for a substantial amount of money.

There's a reason why Nen Exorcists are praised as one of the most valuable professions.

At this moment, as long as Moses wanted to, he could remove the "resentment" from the photo at any time.

But he certainly wouldn't waste such a precious Nen Exorcism opportunity on just a photo.

'So the condition is physical contact…'

Moses understood in his heart, and then returned the photo to the altar.

Just as he put down the photo, hurried footsteps echoed from outside the hall.

Moses turned to look at the entrance, only to see a man with a shaved head, wearing a gray linen robe and sporting a stubbled chin, briskly crossing the threshold and entering the hall.

The person who arrived was none other than Moses's predecessor's father, Hawk.

"Why the heck are you here so early in the morning?" Hawk looked at Moses with a hint of surprise.

"I…" Moses was just about to come up with some random excuse when Hawk interrupted him.

"I've already prepared breakfast. Remember to come over and eat later. After eating, sweep the courtyard. Oh, by the way, I'll be going on a trip for a while, probably won't be back for ten days or half a month. During the time I'm away, if you don't want to entertain any visitors, just lock the main gate. Don't call me for anything, whether it's important or not."

Hawk quickly relayed his instructions, and without waiting for any response from Moses, he turned around and left.

"..."

Moses was somewhat speechless.

From start to finish, he didn't even have a chance to reply.

'Speaking of which… Hawk doesn't have Nen.'

Moses's gaze shifted to Hawk's head, where a smoky-like Aura of life force was naturally dissipating.
