It is worth mentioning that Shizuku felt bored and also joined Moses in studying the Divine Script.
Regarding this, Ging didn't mind.
To him, teaching one person was the same as teaching two people.
Moreover, Menchi's cooking had pleasantly surprised him.
Having such an excellent Gourmet Hunter responsible for his daily meals can somewhat alleviate his resistance to staying in one place.
"Meals that can relieve fatigue... It's almost like medicinal cuisine."
Ging looked down at the dish of burgundy-colored braised meat that shimmered faintly and a flicker of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
'Infusing Nen into food to give it some special abilities.'
'It is an ability that combines both the Emission and Transmutation-Types...'
'Since these two types are opposites, the difficulty of mastering this ability can be imagined.'
"Not a bad idea."
Ging skewered a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
'It is difficult, but once it is mastered, it will definitely become an extremely rare support ability.'
Menchi glanced at the closed door at the end of the hallway, thinking about how once her master started training, he would neglect food and sleep.
'That would have been fine… But even that idiot was taken in by Master.'
"Making the dishes have some beneficial effects is the direction of ability development that Master taught me."
Menchi turned her gaze to the braised meat she had prepared for Moses and Shizuku.
Most of the time, it would get cold before they came out to eat it.
"Moses taught you this?"
Ging was a little surprised.
"Un."
Menchi nodded and said, "But my Hatsu is still too weak. At present, the best I can do is adding a fatigue-relieving effect to the food."
"Hmm? What more do you want to achieve?"
Ging asked, raising an eyebrow at Menchi's self-deprecating tone.
Upon hearing this, Menchi recalled the various buff effects Moses had used as examples for her.
There are simply too many.
However, if ranked by difficulty, the next stage of [Glowing Cuisine] has the effect of restoring Potential Aura.
"Blue potion."
As Menchi thought about it, she blurted out a gaming term that Moses had taught her.
"Blue potion?!"
Ging was stunned for a moment, but as a game fan, he instantly grasped the meaning.
'A potion that restores Potential Aura, huh?'
'Good guy...'
A look of surprise appeared in Ging's eyes, and he instantly realized the thought process behind Moses's approach.
'I'm afraid that it wouldn't stop at merely restoring Potential Aura, but there will also be subsequent benefits such as increasing strength, agility, and even an increase in total Aura Capacity.'
Seeing Ging's reaction, Menchi realized that the term 'blue potion' might not be clear enough, so she prepared to explain further.
But before she could say more, Ging chimed in with a quip.
"What's that saying again? Digging a hole and not filling it in?"
"?"
Menchi looked puzzled and didn't understand what Ging meant.
Ging looked at Menchi, and shook his head as he explained:
"It's not that your Hatsu is weak, it's that developing this kind of ability is incredibly difficult. This path... it's not an easy one."
"Yes, Master already told me that."
Menchi nodded slightly.
Ging raised his eyebrows slightly.
His statement was still too subtle.
This unprecedented path wasn't just difficult to travel on, but it may also be blocked at any time by mountains so high she couldn't even see their peaks.
Menchi looked down at the braised meat and spoke earnestly, "But Master believes I can do it."
"…"
Ging's eyelids drooped as he felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
'Hmm.'
'Wait.'
'The real issue here wasn't just that Moses was unreliable, but that he was also irresponsible.'
'He had thrown a nearly impossible idea at his apprentice and then left her to figure it out on her own.'
'This 'digging a hole and not filling it' approach was simply outrageous.'
'Thankfully, I'm not that kind of person.'
Ging silently slandered Moses's methods in his heart.
'Still, these juniors were quite something...'
Ging chewed on the delicious braised meat.
'There is no need to say much about Moses's talent and potential. The future of this young girl was also promising.'
'As for the other one, although I haven't seen any shining points yet, her ability... is probably related to 'separation'.'
Staying in a place like this for too long often made one reflect on the beauty of youth.
'I hope Moses can grasp the basics quickly. Six months is still too long.'
Ging thought.
Time passes-
Two months flew by in the blink of an eye.
One day.
At dawn, Ging came to Moses' room and listened at the door, but there was no sound at all.
"Did he pull another all-nighter?"
Ging muttered as he pulled out a piece of wire and expertly inserted it into the keyhole.
"Hmm?"
At the moment when the iron wire touched the keyhole, intricate characters emitting a faint Nen glow suddenly appeared on the wooden door and spread like roots in front of Ging's eyes.
'Divine Script!'
Engraved on the door, it creates a 'No Entry' effect.
The culprit behind this was undoubtedly Moses, who had been studying the Divine Script for only two months.
To be able to inscribe Divine Script on a door...
Even though the effect looked rather basic, it was enough to show that Moses had already crossed the threshold of understanding the Divine Script.
Most people would never get this far, and Moses had done it in just two months.
"Impressive!"
Ging couldn't hide his surprise as he stared at the Divine Script on the door.
The glow of Nen within the strokes was as faint as a flickering candle in the wind, so weak that it could go out at any time.
But in Ging's eyes, it shone brilliantly, stirring a deep sense of awe in his heart.
'No wonder that guy suddenly asked me for some of the most basic modules yesterday.'
'At that time, I reminded him earnestly not to aim too high.'
'Turns out, he was already capable of this.'
'Although the difficulty of copying is relatively low, being able to replicate it after just two months… that's outrageous.'
Ging suppressed the shock in his heart.
He had previously estimated that Moses would need six months to get the basics down.
However, there is also the possibility he could achieve that one or two months earlier.
The reason he made such an estimate wasn't because Ging had underestimated Moses' talent.
After all, Ging himself had needed four months to cross the threshold of Divine Script.
Back then, the teacher who taught him the Divine Script had been stunned beyond words.
Even now, Ging still clearly remembers the image of his teacher's jaw dropping so hard that his dentures fell out.
That alone showed how remarkable it was to grasp the basics of Divine Script in just four months.
And now-
There was an even more extraordinary monster emerging.
Ging raised his hand and scratched his head, suddenly feeling like he was about to be left behind, swept away by the tide of younger generations.
