2 Years Later,
In their hidden lab, Koby and Te sat motionless in a cross-legged position, their breathing steady and their eyes closed in deep concentration. The dim lighting of the lab created an atmosphere of intense focus as the brothers immersed themselves in their meditation.
The past two years had been transformative. They had pushed themselves far beyond what they once thought possible, both in their training and in their projects. But there was one crucial lesson they had learned through their countless battles and experiments—raw power wasn't everything. Pouring absurd amounts of Nen into their attacks, though impressive, had proven wasteful. It was a realization that had changed the course of their training.
A few months back, they had decided to shift their focus. Instead of merely increasing the quantity of their Nen, they would refine it. The goal was to make their Nen stronger, more concentrated, and far more effective. This method required patience, discipline, and a level of control that they had only begun to master.
As they meditated, they directed their attention inward, feeling the flow of energy within them. They needed to condense their Nen into something far more potent much like how a cultivator in some novels would condense their Qi into drops.
This was the basis of what they were going off of and it prove to be Fruitful.
If you were to quantify Nen for every 100 would equal 1 drop, but the process required deep meditation. They still haven't figured out a method to automatically condense their Nen as of now.
As they meditated, the boys could feel the energy within them coalescing, compressing into those precious drops. The sensation was both exhilarating and exhausting. Their bodies trembled slightly with the effort, but they remained steadfast, determined to complete the process.
Te opening his eye with grin on his, let his aura flow freely causing the room to have a slight pressure to anyone would notice instantly upon walking into the room. " Finally, this feeling is almost therapeutic compared to before."
Koby slowly opened his eyes, his expression turned into a massive grin. As he began to let his aura flow from his body, the pressure in the room intensified.
The pressure in the room intensified
If there were any nen user who could see their aura, they would mistake it for someone just started off learning Nen. But that assumption would be a grave mistake. This was no beginner's aura; it was a refined, concentrated force, compressed to the point where it appeared deceptively simple, yet held an immense power within its subtle flow.

"Hello," Te answered to a responder snail look eerily familiar to their Mother.
"Come home as soon as possible I need to speak to both of you in person it is very important."
"Ok we will be their in a sec."
"Do you think something's wrong?" Koby asked, his concern evident.
Te shook his head slightly. "Not sure, but whatever it is, our mother sounded serious. We need to be prepared for anything."
They quickly began to gather their equipment, ensuring that their lab was secure and that their projects were safely stored away. The super soldier serum, now perfected and stored in secure containers, was a priority, but they handled it with practiced efficiency.
As they made their way out of the lab, the hidden entrance seamlessly blending with its surroundings, the night air greeted them with a cool breeze. The moon cast a silvery glow on the path ahead, guiding them back to their family's home.
The journey was short, but the brothers moved with purpose, their refined Nen providing them with a heightened sense of awareness. Every step was deliberate, every movement calculated to ensure they arrived swiftly and safely.
Upon reaching their home, they found the entrance illuminated, a stark contrast to the darkness outside. The door was ajar, and a sense of anticipation hung in the air. Taking a deep breath, Koby and Te pushed the door open, stepping inside to face whatever awaited them.
Before they could say anything, Biscuit's voice cut through the silence. "Before I say anything, you boys both smell like animals. Go and take a bath, then come back wearing something nice."
A Few minutes later the boys came back wearing normal street clothes.
"You have been training hard these last couple of years but now it time for you to interact with some children your age." Biscuit voice stern. " I don't want my children to be socially awkward when they grow up, it's time to get some human interaction."
Koby and Te exchanged glances, surprised by the sudden shift in focus. The idea of stepping away from their intense training and projects to socialize was foreign to them, but they could see the resolve in Biscuit's eyes. This wasn't a suggestion—it was an order.
Seeing the boys looking like they understood biscuit continued " now there is a birthday party for a young girl around your age.
You will go there and interact with the children, and be the life of the party!"
Koby and Te exchanged glances, their surprise quickly morphing into a mix of confusion and reluctance. Socializing was not something they had considered a priority, especially with all the progress they had been making in their training and projects. But the stern look on Biscuit's face made it clear that this was non-negotiable.
"A birthday party?" Te echoed, his voice laced with disbelief. "You want us to go to a birthday party?"
Biscuit nodded firmly. "Yes, a party. You'll interact with other kids, have some fun, and for once, not worry about training. It's important that you learn how to balance your life. Strength isn't just about power; it's about understanding people, forming connections."
Koby sighed, realizing there was no getting out of this. "Fine, we'll go. But we're not exactly party experts, you know."
Biscuit's expression softened slightly. "You don't need to be. Just be yourselves—well, maybe a more social version of yourselves. It'll be good for you."
Te groaned, but there was a hint of a smile on his face. "Alright, we'll do it. But don't expect us to become party animals overnight."
Biscuit chuckled, reaching out to ruffle their hair. "I don't, but I do expect you to try. Now go get ready. You're going to make some new friends today, whether you like it or not."
