I'm a manipulator!
"So..I can manipulate things with my nen to do something right? Such as manipulating a stick to hypnotize people or make the stick become sharp as a razor blade?"
"Basically."
"Really? This.. will become very useful. So where do I go from here?"
"Simple, master the basic techniques before anything complicated. We have ten, which you just performed, ren, zetsu, and hatsu. The absolute basic of the basic is ten. Try focusing your aura out and containing it."
"Alright, I got this, easy least."
Putting out my senses into a controlled area around me, I imagine as if I were letting a white gas form around me and it staying within 5 centimeters.
"Impressive! Not half bad, albeit not as good as some I've seen but for a beginner your pretty good."
I release it, kneeling to the ground.
"Little too much concentration huh? Here this'll probably be easier. Try zetsu. Try concealing your aura nodes and making them not flow whatsoever."
Concealing? Should be easier considering I just got nen.
I'd tense up my skin, imagining small holes slowly closing, a sense of dread and weakness flooded my mind. God it's too strong!
I felt as if I was about to throw up, every part of my mind felt as if it went through hours of training and that heavy weights were out in them.
But nonetheless, I held through it and managed to keep zetsu up for a staggering.. 5 seconds before collapsing.
"Wow.. Even for like your first try that's pretty bad. Is it that hard to contain.? You recover, because we still have ten and hatsu left. Ren should be easier but hatsu will be the hardest so be prepared."
A new sense of dread came over me, the heck is hatsu going to be like?
—————————————————————
After fully resting I stand up and mentally prepare myself.
"Alright, seems like your ready so we'll begin. Ren is basically an advanced form of Ten. Instead of keeping your aura still you want to expand it as much as you can."
"Alright, simple enough." I respond, taking in what he said fully.
Now that I have the hang of it, it shouldn't be too hard.
Before I even fully focused my senses I could already feel the bliss of releasing my aura. This is nothing like zetsu!
When I focused all my senses I could feel the entire room! It felt as if I could feel every detail and every crevice!
"Stop!" A familiar voice yelled.
Why would I ever stop? It feels so good, I feel so powerful! I could do this for days without stop!
Is what I thought until I felt an angry presence looming over me. Out of fear and instinct I stopped it instantly.
I could barely even speak, the bloodlust felt so intense.
"W-wh.." I stumbled before falling on my ass, gawking at the sight.
"What? Your not even exhausted after that? My god.. you moron! You filled the entire room up with Ren! Now I know why you struggled so much with zetsu.. "
"Wh- what happened?" I gawked out before returning to normal.
"Turns our your more than a prodigy, you have an ungodly amount of raw nen in your body hence the huge ren.. I have personally never seen something that big. Since your a manipulator this is good as you can have more access to larger objects."
He paused and turned down his bloodlust completely, somewhat shocked.
"We'll talk about ren later but we're going to do hatsu. Since your a manipulator we'll do.. let's say a rock." He paused for a breath, "I want you to take this rock and make it smaller, more compressed through nen."
He handed me a fist sized rock with a rough body.
I held the rock in my hand, examining it, I begin to use my nen on it, it feels so natural.
The rock begins to shake a bit before eventually shrinking an inch in size and becoming noticeably heavier.
"Well done, you just manipulated the weight and size of the rock." He did a short clap before sitting down.
"Now obviously before we can do anything, practice hatsu and zetsu. You need the extra practice. Try making the rock smaller and bigger."
I'd begin to sit down and rest until my energy was good again.
—————————————————————
I had gathered quite a bit of rocks in the meantime.
I began applying nen to each rock I went through, making long ones, short ones, I even got it to a degree I could make tiny sculptures.
After going through my rocks and making a fair amount of rock sculptures I decided to train zetsu.
I once again focus all my sense to my aura nodes,closing them.
The feeling of weakness flooded my mind again, only slightly weaker the first time I did it. I repeated this for about 20 times, in which at that point while it didn't feel natural and on instinct, it was to the point at where it didn't nauseate me.
I still can't believe the things that've have these few days, at least it'll aid me in my goal.
"Hey, I have a question, Velocita, are there any other forms of nen besides these 4 techniques?"
As I said that a figure loomed over me and said in a shallow voice, "Why of course! Fact we have gyo, in, shu, don't forget en, ko, ken, and finally ryu."
"That.. is a lot to take in." I stumble, ko? en and in? How could there possibly be that many? We really only have ten,ren, and zetsu to use!
"Now your probably wondering where to start, and this is the same for everybody. It's an application of ten which allows you to see other people use nen. What you do is focus your aura into your eyes and contain it there."
Focusing aura into my eyes? Seems there's more to this nen than there seems, this could be interesting.
