Chapter 123: Sword of Forced Awakening (I)
Chapter 123 "Sword of Forced Awakening" (I)
A few hours later.
It was a sunny day outside the window, and the gentle sunlight enveloped everything in Germain's room, with a slightly drunken warmth everywhere.
Kurapika got up early, changed into the dried Kurta clothes, and came to Germain's room again.
Germain did not start the tutorial right away, but invited Kurapika to have breakfast together.
"It will be very energy-consuming next. I suggest you eat as much as possible, otherwise you may not be able to hold on until noon and need a second meal."
Since Kurapika had already agreed to such conditions, he naturally would not disobey Germain in these aspects, so he calmly sat at the table.
As for the "very energy-consuming" thing, he not only did not resist it, but was quite looking forward to it. He hoped to be reborn through it, and Germain's teaching might achieve this.
After enjoying the breakfast brought by the room service, Germain asked Kurapika to take his luggage, and the two checked out of the room, took a taxi, and came to the suburbs.
"Well... let's go to this mountain. It's just basic training anyway."
Germain picked a mountain at random and led Kurapika to the top of the mountain.
Kurapika carried Germain's suitcase, with two wooden swords stuck behind him, and followed Germain silently.
The top of the mountain was a flat land, bare, with only a few trees on the side, which looked like the Mediterranean of a middle-aged man.
"By the way, what are you doing in Itro City?" Germain asked curiously.
Kurapika put the suitcase aside, pulled out the hard wooden sword behind him, and replied: "I heard that there is a sword master here, so I plan to come here to ask for swordsmanship."
"But now I don't think it's necessary." He added honestly.
It's not that he despises the sword master, but it's true. No matter how powerful the sword master is, he is still within Kurapika's understanding, but Germain is different.
It was impossible for a swordsman to kill thirteen people instantly on the airship, but for Germain, it seemed to be a very easy thing.
Kurapika was sure that there must be some reason.
"Oh, so."
Germain understood that Kurapika was constantly looking for opportunities to increase his strength during his travels.
However, because Kurapika was a "materialized mind-controller" and had a deeper obsession with chains, he later abandoned the double swords.
This symbolized the change in Kurapika's mentality, from the initial violence represented by the wooden sword to the later punishment represented by the chains.
"Since we are talking about swordsmanship, I will use my "sword" to awaken you."
Germain stood in front of Kurapika, and a cold voice came from behind the bird-beak mask.
He stretched his hands forward and made a mid-section knife-holding posture, but there was nothing between his hands.
"Sword?" "
Kurapika was a little confused, he didn't see Germain holding any weapons.
But he remembered that on the airship yesterday, Germain did pull out a strange weapon that looked like a cane, a sword, and a long whip in an instant.
However, the weapon disappeared without a trace later, and now it is not in Germain's hand.
Where did he get the "sword" in his hand?
Of course, Germain couldn't just chop with the "saw" or stab Kurapika with the "threaded cane", but condensed the "qi" into the shape of a samurai blade.
Since it has not materialized, Kurapika can't see the "sword" in Germain's hand at all.
"Next, I will chop you with the "sword" to force the "jing pores" in your body to awaken. This is a very dangerous method, but the advantage is that it is much faster than the usual awakening method. "
"Accept my "sword", you will personally feel what "qi" is, so that you can go further and master the "nen ability". "
Germain raised his hands high, and changed his sword holding method from the middle to the upper part.
"Are you ready?"
Kurapika did not hesitate or doubt, and threw down his two swords with a snap, walked forward, and calmly accepted Germain's "sword".
"I'm ready."
Germain chopped down fiercely, and the "sword energy" poured down from the top of Kurapika's head, wrapping Kurapika in it. Then, Kurapika felt his flesh and blood trembling all over.
"Come... Come!"
The next moment, all of Kurapika's "essence holes" were opened, and "qi" flowed out continuously. At the same time, he could also feel the "qi" flowing in the air.
"This is "qi"..." Kurapika looked down at his hands, and felt inexplicably shocked.
This incomparable and special feeling... I have entered a whole new world!
"You are just getting started now." Germain said, "I will teach you the most basic "entanglement" first, otherwise you will be exhausted in a short time. "
"It's because my "Ki" is constantly flowing out, right?" Kurapika is also a gifted person, he can understand it at once.
"Yes." Germain nodded, "Let's start now."
So, for the next period of time, Germain gradually taught Kurapika the skills of "entanglement", and Kurapika also absorbed knowledge eagerly.
But the more knowledge he absorbed about "Nen ability", the more gloomy Kurapika became.
"What's wrong?" Germain noticed that Kurapika was restless. "Aren't you looking forward to learning "Nen"? Why do you look like this now?"
Kurapika paused, not deliberately hiding his knot.
"In the past few days, the more I learned "Nen", the more I realized that the gap between you and me is even greater than I imagined before. I was too ignorant to think that I had no knowledge and experience related to "Nen".
"And the strength of the "Phantom Troupe members" should be similar to yours. They have accumulated so many years of experience. I think this is natural.
"But in this case, even if I practice hard all the time, it will take at least several years before I am qualified to stand in front of them. This is the reality I have to face."
Kurapika sighed softly when he said this.
"You are still very sober." Germain said, "But I want to correct you here. "
"In the battle of "Nen users", only when the gap in strength is so large that it cannot be made up by other aspects, will the winner be decided at the first time. For example, I solved the gangsters on the airship. "
"In addition, it is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong. The most important thing is to look at the right time, place and people, especially your fit with your own "Nen ability system." "
Kurapika's eyes lit up, "Nen ability system" is a brand new concept. Indeed, "entanglement" cannot explain the abilities shown by Germain and the "Nen Exterminator".
"Excuse me, what is the "Nen ability system"? "
