A person's personality and approach to handling situations can serve as factors in discerning their Nen type.
However, this statement is not absolute.
Emitters tend to exhibit impatience and impulsiveness in their personalities, but Franklin's character is quite calm. He has always been a peacemaker within the Phantom Troupe, mediating disputes with his calm and composed demeanor.
This calm demeanor has subtly integrated into Franklin's combat style.
During battles, Franklin, whether on offense or defense, chooses to leave room for maneuverability, unwilling to give the enemy any opportunity.
So, even if Wright managed to create an opportunity for himself under Moses's cover, in the end, he couldn't break through Franklin's defense and instead found himself at a disadvantage, landing in a precarious situation.
However, no matter how much room Franklin left for maneuverability, he didn't expect Moses to kick him away like that.
Fortunately for him...
Moses doesn't understand Ko, and lacks efficiency in the use of Gyo, which allows him a slight window of opportunity to react.
Furthermore, his size and height advantage to some extent limited the attack area Moses could choose.
Otherwise—
Just now, if Moses had used Ko casually, even if he left some room for maneuverability, in that situation, Franklin would have either died or suffered severe injuries for sure.
Even so, that kick just now also caused him significant injury. Fortunately, he was able to timely disperse some of the damage, preventing himself from being paralyzed on the ground.
'Nen Clones and teleportation? Quite tricky abilities, but his Nen techniques are lacking.'
'Huh? Something's wrong…'
'The slight hesitation just now, was it really because his Nen technique proficiency isn't up to par?'
From being kicked away to rolling far away upon landing, Franklin was even processing the battle information from just now.
He first believed that Moses didn't perfectly seize the opportunity to attack in that situation because his proficiency in Gyo wasn't good enough.
However, he also felt a certain inexplicable sense of discrepancy, which made him temporarily reserve his judgment on Moses's supposed lack of proficiency in Nen Techniques.
In front of Ryles and Fiona, Franklin interrupted his thoughts and got up from the ground.
His lips and chin were covered in blood and dust, and he looked quite disheveled.
"Franklin, what happened? How did you get knocked over here? Is there a skilled opponent over there?"
Ryles frowned, eager to know the situation.
Franklin didn't speak, but quickly glanced at Fiona, who was bruised in several places, and Koko, who was immobilized in place and unable to escape.
"There is a very troublesome kid over there. Anyway, hurry up and finish things here quickly."
Afterwards, Franklin said these words expressionlessly and walked towards Moses's direction.
Due to his injuries, there was something unusual about his movements as he walked.
On the other side.
Moses's complexion was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat dotted his forehead.
When fighting with divided shadows, the individual strength of the shadows would be halved, but the constraint effect of 'Shared Pain' would not be halved.
The shadow sphere launched at the beginning was meant to relieve Wright's pressure from Franklin and to create an opportunity for Wright to attack.
Then, the shadow sphere was torn apart by Franklin's powerful firepower.
Furthermore, the other shadow clone from earlier was also shredded by Franklin's Double Machine Gun when exchanging positions.
Consecutive waves of extensive damage caused Moses to endure unimaginable pain in the short span of two or three seconds.
Under normal circumstances, if a person were hit by so many Nen bullets at the same time, they would likely die before feeling the pain of their flesh being torn apart, thus finding relief.
However, Moses's Limitation was Shared Pain.
And shadows don't have a "death" state like humans, unable to find peace after taking their last breath.
So, before the shadow completely dissipated, the pain caused by each Nen bullet would faithfully transmit to Moses's body.
This is why Moses's complexion is pale now.
If he hadn't insisted on training his pain tolerance, let alone attacking in that situation, even being able to move is a problem.
'There is resistance... So the damage couldn't be fully delivered?'
Taking a deep breath, Moses couldn't help but feel a pity.
When he kicked Franklin, he clearly felt a resistance, indicating that Franklin hastily strengthened his Nen defense before being hit.
As a result, that kick just now probably didn't paralyze Franklin or cause any severe injuries to him.
'I am still too 'young' to endure it...'
To retrieve the detached shadow clone, one must go through the process of 'shadow returning to the original body'.
And if the shadow clone is destroyed by an attack, the 'Conjuration Space' occupied will be instantly formatted.
Moses understood this point.
So the destruction of the shadow sphere and shadow clone after they served their purpose wasn't a bad thing.
It allowed him to have a 100% Manifested Aura when attacking Franklin.
But on the flip side—
The pain accumulated from the destruction of the shadow clone prevented him from perfectly seizing the opportunity.
A small detail, a mistake.
But it made all the difference...
'I still have a long way to go.'
While Moses was feeling emotional, he would not make any excuses. He would only blame this result on his own lack of strength.
Only by recognizing one's shortcomings can one move forward faster.
"Moses."
Wright, with quite a lot of blood on his body, quickly walked up to Moses, still somewhat shaken by Moses's blow just now.
He even felt that Moses had planned out 'that blow' from the moment he launched the shadow sphere.
"Did you succeed?"
Wright looked towards the direction where Franklin flew, asking asked the question he was most concerned about.
"At most, I just injured him. I didn't seize the opportunity well."
Moses also looked towards the direction where Franklin flew, and sighed: " If I had kicked him below just now, it might have had a better effect."
That's what he said, but in fact, Moses was thinking of the 'Aura Blade +1' reward he just received from Dis Mendeck.
Because it was a reward he had just received, he did not have the awareness to use this offensive reward at that extremely urgent moment, which was also an area where he fell short.
Hearing Moses's words, Wright's mouth twitched, inexplicably recalling the scene when he first encountered Moses.
"Wright, let's retreat first."
With frequent use of the Shadow Shifting ability, Moses's Potential Aura is already less than 20%.
If they teamed up to deal with the injured Franklin, they might still be able to hold their own and even have a chance to take down Franklin.
But if another member of the Phantom Troupe showed up, they would be doomed.
"The nearest exit should be over there."
Without waiting for Wright's response, Moses headed towards the nearest exit.
Wright glanced at Moses's pale face. He had no objections, and followed closely behind Moses.
However, as soon as the two of them ran a short distance, they saw Franklin coming back to them.
The imposing Aura that permeated his burly body clearly indicated that he didn't intend to let them leave easily.
And in their current position, they could see Koko not far from the exit, as well as Fiona and another unidentified man who were currently engaged in battle.
While fighting against Fiona, Ryles still had the capacity to pay attention to Moses and Wright not far away.
'The troublesome kid Franklin mentioned… Is actually him...?!'
Ryles saw Moses and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He still remembered Moses.
Fiona also saw Moses.
'It's really Moses!'
She had also heard what Franklin said just now.
