"Hu-"
Moses, who had exhausted all his Nen, let out a long breath of exhaustion.
Closing his Aura pores, Moses headed to the bathroom for a quick shower.
After coming out of the bathroom, some of his potential Aura has been restored.
"Soul Echo."
Moses conjured the shadow figure with his restored Aura.
"Mimicry."
Driven by his thoughts, Moses transformed the shadow figure into Hisoka's appearance with great difficulty, still maintaining that barely recognizable Picasso style.
The efficiency of mimicking someone else's appearance is very slow and challenging. Moses wondered if this matter can be improved after his level of Hatsu increased.
If not, he might have to address it through Vows and Limitations.
"Bang bang bang…"
Moses began his daily routine of beating up the mimicked Hisoka.
After ten minutes of continuous beating, Moses stopped and dismissed his ability. He then lay on the bed, picked up his phone, and dialed Cheadle's number. However, the call was disconnected before she could answer.
Moses took away the phone, guessing that Cheadle might not be in a position to answer the call, so he decided not to continue calling.
Putting the phone aside, Moses closed his eyes and in Zetsu state, sensed subtle changes within his body.
A few minutes later, his phone rang.
Moses opened his eyes, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.
"Cheadle, it's me."
Considering that Cheadle might not know the number, Moses spoke first.
"I know."
Cheadle's voice came through the phone: "I heard from Lisha that you went to Swardani City."
"Um."
Moses responded, then directly asked the question that concerned him the most at the moment: "Cheadle, is there any progress on the Nen Exorcism?"
"…"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
This reaction seemed to preclude an unfavorable answer.
"Very pessimistic."
About three seconds later, Cheadle's sigh reached Moses's ears.
"The United States of Saherta officially commissioned the Hunter Association and is willing to cover all expenses. Chairman Netero, using the name of the Hunter Association, issued a public recruitment notice, and it was quite effective. Three highly skilled Nen Exorcists were recruited quickly. However..."
Her tone was solemn, not hiding the gravity of the situation, "The three recruited Nen Exorcists all expressed that the 'risk of Nen Exorcism' was too great, and they are even unwilling to undergo the first attempt."
"How could this be?"
Moses found it a bit hard to believe.
'The Nen Exorcists who can be recruited through the Hunter Association should be all top-notch, right?'
'However, 'merely' facing the Nen Space left by Elena made them give up before even trying?'
'Those three Nen Exorcists...'
'Even though cooperating could share the risk of Nen Exorcism, they still believed that the risk was too great?'
This can't help but make Moses, who has personally touched the Nen Space, question the level of the three recruited Nen Exorcists.
Chiduo seemed to be able to see Moses's reaction and explained: "Those three Nen Exorcists can sense the Libra inside the Nen Space. And they believe that the biggest threat comes from the Libra and make judgments based on this."
"…"
Hearing Cheadle's explanation, Moses immediately understood.
'If that's the case, it does make sense.'
'That Libra…'
He has seen it with his own eyes, and the intensity of resentment on it is frightening.
So much so that at that time, he felt that even the Nen Exorcism chance given by Perception might not be enough to resolve the issue with the Libra.
In comparison, the Nen Space left by Elena is indeed strong in terms of intensity, but possibly due to its passive nature, it was not as terrifying in terms of perception as the active attack-oriented Libra.
"Cheadle, what does the Hunter Association plan to do next?"
"For now, we will categorize the Nen Space as a demonic realm and then control it through relevant regulations. At the same time, we will continue recruiting Nen Exorcists to reduce the 'Nen Exorcism risk' to their acceptable range by increasing their numbers."
Cheadle gave the answer.
In order to reduce the risk of Nen Exorcism, they could only recruit more Nen Exorcists.
Otherwise, no Nen Exorcists were willing to take the first step, and the situation would become dire.
However, she can understand it, as professions like Nen Exorcist are basically based on 'considering risks'.
In order to resolve this matter, Netero also initiated a meeting for the Zodiac Twelve at noon three days later.
The reason for such solemnity was—
As Post-Mortem Nen, Nen Space and Libra are suspected of possessing extremely rare growth abilities.
This is the most challenging aspect.
"Moses, I will probably arrive in Swardani City the day after tomorrow. Until this matter is resolved, I cannot meet you, so I hope you can return to Lisha as soon as possible. With her taking care of you, I will be more at ease."
"I will consider it."
Moses did not directly agree to Cheadle's arrangement.
Chiduo also noticed Moses's thoughts, but refrained from saying anything more. She only assured Moses that the Hunter Association would handle this matter properly before ending the call.
In the hotel room…
Moses threw the phone aside and stared at the ceiling.
He roughly understood why the Nen Exorcists were unwilling to act.
The mechanism of their abilities is like this, so there is nothing they can do about it.
No wonder that there are so few Nen Exorcists in this world.
From this, it was evident how precious the Nen Exorcism chance provided by Perception is.
"Nen Exorcism chance…"
Moses murmured in an almost inaudible voice.
If he couldn't rely on the Hunter Association, he could only depend on the Nen Exorcism chance given by Perception.
The question is-
What should he do to accurately get the Nen Exorcism chance from Perception?
Fighting constantly?
If he reached the top of Heavens Arena, would that guarantee him to get a Nen Exorcism chance?
Or perhaps, an all-out life-and-death battle with those outstanding characters from the original work?
For example, fighting against Biscuit...
Thinking of this, the image of a certain king kong barbie pinning him to the ground and beating him violently appeared in Moses's mind, sending a shiver down his spine.
"Calm down, calm down…"
Moses took a deep breath, and shook his head to dispel those inappropriate images from his mind.
"At any rate, in the time to come, let's stabilize the proficiency of my Nen skills under the influence of the training buff. If I could convince Biscuit to lend me Cookie for a month, it would be even more perfect."
Knowing that 'Nen Exorcism chance' are not going to come anytime soon, Moses understood what he should focus on now.
In order to be able to reach the top of Heavens Arena without exposing his ability in the future, high proficiency in Nen techniques such as the Four Fundamental Techniques and Advanced Application Techniques was crucial.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Moses noticed something and raised his upper body to look at the door.
A wisp of pink Nen entered the room through the crack in the door, materializing into Cookie at an extremely fast speed.
Subsequently, Cookie, who had just appeared, opened the door, letting in Biscuit, who was holding a magazine of handsome men outside.
"Biscuit, you could just knock or give me a call, you know."
Moses casually pulled up the quilt next to him and covered his lower body.
After taking a shower, he only wore a pair of underwear.
"Stare…"
Biscuit's gaze was fixed on Moses, who is lying on the bed.
Then…
Biscuit put her hands on her hips and said confidently: "Breaking in secretly is more exciting!"
"…"
