Chapter 76 - Shadow!

'I am not sure about that, Crow. My affinity to Transmuter is %60, and even though I created this ability, I haven't really practiced it. I may not use it well.' I wasn't sure about my new ability. When I created 777 Gloves months ago, Crow reminded me that I am the unluckiest man alive. Giving that gloves main disadvantage is its randomness, I hardly could land the color I wanted.

When we couldn't find a solution to this little problem, Crow told me to create a backup Nen ability, with another type. A Nen user could create multiple abilities, but it would reduce the efficiency of the main ability. Since I was quite happy with my Gloves, even though it was never on my side, I didn't want to divide my attention. Thus, I barely worked on my other ability.

"You will be fine, don't worry. Besides, if you attack him with Indigo, it will kill you." Crow put it nicely. He was right too. The Indigo would help me beat even toughest opponents, yet I would be unable to move as well. If any chance, I missed the last hit, I would wait for the enemy to kill me. This reason itself was making Indigo, most useless color.

"Besides, you already have seen enough Transmuter to understand how to use this power," said Crow, but I wasn't sure about that.

'I beg to differ. Like you said before I started creating my own Hatsu. It will cause a memory overload, and my body will not react fast enough.' Crow told me, it is best to create one ability to adjust the body to that ability. Because multiple abilities may affect the body negatively.

"Hisoka said that, not me. Also, she is using more than one Nen. Didn't you see with your own eyes, she used Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise. Transmutation and Conjuration. Why can't you?" Crow tried to encourage me, but I still wasn't sure. Hisoka was in the game much longer than me, and she was genius too.

Texture Surprise was a Conjuration ability. Hisoka can apply his aura to any smooth, flat surface, such as paper or cloth, and manifest imagery on it to change its appearance and texture for deception. He can replicate over one thousand different textures.

I released my Transmuter aura, and the shadows started to get darker. This was my secondary ability Shadow. With transmutation my aura to shadow form, I could create a curtain alike to Licik did with his mist aura. The reason I choose shadow as my secondary ability is, I can use it with my Shadow Jutsus, and I also can hide in shadows.

From outside, my techniques with Shadow were looking like Emitter ability as well. But because I also had the %60 affinity to Emitter, I didn't want to make it harder and combine it with Shadow Jutsu of Nara Clan.

Hisoka ran to me with a bare fist, and she punched me in the face. All my training were fruitful because I saw how much Nen she used on her fist and countered it with the open palm with an equal amount of Nen, and punched her on the bare stomach. She also covered her stomach with an equal amount of Nen, but I switched places with the shadow at her back and punched her from behind.

My punch landed on thin air and came back to me stronger. It was like punching the rubber. She used her gum like Nen to send my punch back to me. I almost hit by my own attack.

"I can see you got even stronger. I will smack you. Once again! Fufufu." While bad memories were filling my mind, and imaginary pain spread from my but cheeks from her teasing, she ran to me by opening her both arms.

'I guess I have to win with numbers.' I decided to win with points. Normally I would win against my opponents easily. Thus I never need to win with earning points. In the Heavens Arena, winners are determined by knockout, technical knockout or by points. 1 point is awarded for any clean hit, 2 points are awarded for a critical hit 'one that deals more damage than a normal hit does' and 1 additional point is awarded for every time a contestant knocks the opponent down to the mat. Once the contestant earns 10 points, they will win by technical knockout.

Since we started to fight, neither of us landed a hit yet, we both were at 0 points. Hisoka arrived at me and swung her arms to me, from behind her back. Two pieces of floor tile flew towards me. They clashed just in front of me and created a screen from dust and piece of rocks. Hisoka punched me from behind, but I dodged with Observation Haki and hit her stomach with my elbow, with strengthening it with my haki and nen.

"Critical Hit." The referee gave me two points. Hisoka looked at me smiling and said, "Don't disappoint me, Hitomi."

She pulled her middle finger, and I started to fly her. I forget to activate Gyo earlier, and I must have gotten hit by her Aura. Before I even could get rid of it, she closed the distance between us with unbelievable speed and punched me in the face and knocked me to the ground.

"Critical Hit, Knock!" The referee gave her three points.

I went into the Phantom form for a second to get rid of her Aura. I wanted to use the Kunai to flash around her, but it could blow the idea I was trying to create, that all those strong attacks are related to those kunai.

After I got rid of her aura, I bind her with Shadow Binding Jutsu. This jutsu would be effective only opponents weaker than me, but when I strong it with my shadow aura, I could hold Hisoka few seconds, I switched places in my aura again and kicked her on the abdomen, sent her flying.

"Clean Hit, Knock." The referee gave me another two points, making it four.

Hisoka stand from the ground and run to me from the front, while I wasn't sure what she was doing, the floor tile under me started to rise to the air and I was stuck to it. When did she place her aura here? Before I could free myself, her kick broke the tile and hit me after it.

"Clean Hit." The referee gave her a point more but she wasn't done, I caught by her aura, and stuck to the ground as lying on my back. "Knock." The Referee gave another one point to make her points 5.

She jumped into the air and aimed my abdomen with her knee. I waited until she arrived, and freed myself with the Phantom form once again, kick her instead.

We fought for an hour, and I won with a technical knockout with 1 point difference. I wasn't better than her, but I had too many means to fight with her. Even before I created my Hatsu, I could evade all her attacks, now with my Hatsu and stronger Ren, I could hurt her.

After a long fight, I flashed to my room directly to evade Hisoka. I was sure, with all those beating, she got turned on, but I wasn't in a mood to accompany her. I had bruises all over my body, for real this time. I healed them with medical jutsu, and I let Jon use his Holy Light on me. We both get into the pool, I forced Jon, because he hates water. After a good bath, I was going to challenge the Floor Master. It was almost time to return Yorknew City, so I didn't have to time to join the Battle Olympia. Still, I wanted to win against a Floor Master, before leaving.
