At Greed Island.
Machi saw Gon covered in blood and was still very impressed by this. I mean the kid just murdered someone in cold blood and wasn't shocked or sick.
''he truly went far. Wow I didn't expect him to be at this state already, I mean he still just a kid.'' Thought her.
''Man does killing someone take a lot of our energy?" Asked Gon.
''Most of the time, it depends on who are you up against.'' Said Machi.
''I guess I still have a lot to of train up to do.'' Said Gon.
''We should clean you up.'' Said Machi
''don't worry I saw a river not too far ahead.'' Said him.
''Ok but be back in at least 10 minutes or I will drag you. Nude or not.'' Said Machi all cold.
''Fine Machi.'' Said Gon.
Later that night Gon and Machi were taking some rest in a cave near the place that they were. Gon slept fine while Machi was still awaken.
Machi didn't know what to say. Yes, Shalnark and Chrollo brainwash was a success but what will happen if they got used to him?
''I don't like babysitting, but I have no other choice, is for Chrollo so I must do it.'' Thought her.
She later found a sleep but unlike Gon she wouldn't sleep too much.
Next day
''Hurray up, we have things to do.'' Said Machi waking up Gon early in the morning.
''Ok.'' Said Gon
Gon and Machi then started to walk in this island very early and they walked a lot in that day.
For a fake video game this place was exactly the games that Shalnark was always playing. It was very detail and those cards while annoying were like the high possession to be having around.
The two walked for hours going from town to town and getting a few cards along the way. After some time, they went toward a big dessert land that they guess it was supposed to be the desert stage of this place.
''We will be around here for a while.'' Said Machi
''For what?'' Asked Gon.
''It's clear of the sight from anyone and maybe the game masters.'' Said her
''So, what we do Machi?'' Asked Gon
The pink put her bag in the floor and looked at Gon like if he was a pet.
''We will train your nen here.'' Said her.
''Huh?'' Asked Gon
''It's clear that you have great power, but you still have unlocked that power yet. This place should be the perfect place for us to see how much you can handle so far.'' Said Machi.
''So, you want to train me?'' Asked Gon.
''Yes, don't you want?'' Asked her.
Gon didn't know what to say. An original member from the Troupe training him? How can he say no to that.
''Of course, I want. If I want to stay as member, I have to keep up good work or I will be cast out.'' Said Gon
That got Machi by surprise, that was a very common answer around the troupe. Mostly from the ones that weren't from Meteor city like Bonoleov or Kurtopi.
''He really is thinking like us.'' Thought her.
''Good, then get ready I will make you be in hell.'' Said her.
''Right…Osu.'' Said Gon.
However Gon felt a little strange upon saying that word ´´osu´.
''Why did I say that word? I think I heard somewhere before.'' Said Gon a little confused.
Machi got worried for a second. Maybe he heard from someone that had a big impact on his life before his mind got changed, she need to act and fast.
''Hey, don't think too much. Many students say that to their masters, is common.'' Said her
''Sorry for worrying you.'' Said Gon.
After that the training was about to start.
''Ok let's start.'' Said her.
''So, what we do?" Asked Gon
''Stay there.'' Said Machi pointing to a spot.
''Sure.'' Said Gon
''Now start with ren.'' Said Machi.
Gon then activated his ren and he was already getting tired.
''How long do I need to stay in this state? '' Asked him.
''At least 3 hours.'' Said her.
''What!'' Scream Gon in shock.
''For every time you fail, I will punch you in the stomach really hard. One blow might make you feel noxious, two might make you wanna puke blood, later down the line you be begging me to stop so better train.'' Said Machi.
''Ok.'' Said Gon with a sweat drop.
''I will be sitting on that rock watching you. Start now, I will look at my watch your time.'' Said her pointing at her watch.
''Right.'' Said Gon
Gon started to charge up in aura as hard as he can as Machi keep watching him. He was doing as hard as he could, but he couldn't hold up too much, Machi was going to pummel him for most of those three hours. Before she could do any critic valuation her phone started to ring.
Ring Ring
It was Nobunaga.
''Hey.'' Said her.
''So how is the kid?" Asked him
''He is doing fine; we are training his ren at the moment. We need to make him be in good shape once we get Chrollo back and hunt down the chain bastard.'' Said her.
''Were you two spotted by a game master?" Asked Nobu
''No.'' Said her
''Good because those guys have eyes everywhere.'' Said him
''Any news on finding the nen exorcist?" Asked Machi.
''No, we heard there is one in this island but we can't find him.'' Said Nobunaga
''Did you found the stupid clown yet?'' Asked her
''No, he is still playing with us.'' Said Nobunaga annoyed.
''God, I hate doing deals with him.'' Said her.
''But we hired him and for whatever reason he does what he is told.'' Said Nobunaga that was at least Hisoka best part when he was in the Troupe, he always was loyal when he was told what to do.
''Right, he likes to do his own stuff.'' Said Machi
''What part of the training are you doing?" Asked Nobunaga
''We are training his ren.'' Said her.
''Good, we want this kid to be as strong as possible once we get the boss back.'' Said Nobunaga.
''Yes.'' Said Machi still a little weird out.
''Is something wrong Machi?'' Asked Nobunaga.
''Yes, look am already ok with this plan but is really messed up playing with someone mind. Don't give me wrong I killed many people but I never expecting us doing that kind stuff.'' Said her.
''Look this is Chrollo grand plan. The chain bastard pretty much give up killing him and chasing us just because of him and that other kid. Imagine how is he going to feel once he see him with us.'' Said Nobunaga
''I know Chrollo plan is good, but I don't know. Revenge was never something off from him.'' Said Machi.
''After what that Kurta bastard did! We all want revenge, he killed two of us and each one of us will get a piece of him.'' Said Nobunaga with a good point.
''Correct I also want that more than anything.'' Said Machi
''Patience my dear.'' Said Nobunaga.
''You are right and don't call me dear or I will break your hands.'' Said Machi all cold
''Oh, sorry miss good points.'' Said Nobunaga all sarcastic.
''Alright I have to go I need to keep an eye on him and his training.'' Said Machi.
''See you later.'' Said Nobunaga.
''See you all later.'' Said Machi.
Machi end her conversation and soon turn to see Gon losing focus on Ren and not even 30 minutes have passed. That got him a punch in the guts.
PUNCH
''Argh!'' Scream Gon.
''Keep going.'' Said Machi all cold.
''Alright.'' Said Gon keeping up.
Machi keep looking at Gon however for a deep second, she felt a presence and it was a strong one.
''Huh.'' Said her worried. That was like Hisoka or Chrollo level of power.
''Is something wrong Machi?" Asked Gon
''No, I thought I felt someone near.'' Said her
''Should we look up?" Asked Gon.
''No, maybe I was paranoic because I can't sense anyone right now. Keep working.'' Said her.
''Ok.'' Said Gon.
While the two were training they didn't know that they were being watched, by a little blonde girl.
''Huh those twos are doing some training, but why?" Asked the blonde girl.
The little girl seen to wanna know what was happening and she seen very curious for her own age.
''I better keep an eye on things, but her en must be very good. I must come back later.'' Thought her.
She ran off to a safe distance and promised to keep a close eye on those two.
The next day.
Machi had punched Gon over 7 times in the 3-hour period. He puked blood twice but at least he managed to live.
''So, do you see what happens if you don't live up to expectation?" Asked Machi.
''I guess…so.'' Said Gon trembling.
''Good because you been doing this every day until you get the hand of it.'' Said her all serious.
''Sure.'' Said him.
''Now prepared for this morning lesson.'' Said her.
''What do you mean?" Asked Gon
''You see those rocks?" Asked Machi pointing to the rocks.
''Yes.'' Said him
''I want you to break them with your Ko.'' Said her
''What!'' Scream Gon in shock
''I want to see if you have the guts to do it. Starts now.'' Said her
''Alright.'' Said Gon
Gon then concentrated all his aura on his fist as he tries to form a Ko attack.
''don't screw this up.'' Said her.
''Alright.'' Said him
Gon concentrated all his aura on his hand and try to do a Ko attack to break the rocks. Unfortunately it didn't work.
Punch
''This is harder than I imagined.'' Said Gon with his hand in pain.
''I can patch you later. Keep it up.'' Said her.
''Alright.'' Said Gon continuing to punch the rock.
Crack
Gon was now with his hand pretty much all broken and bloody. He was crying of pain and Machi rolling her eyes decided to give a tip.
''Think of the chain bastard.'' Said her
''The chain bastard?" Asked Gon.
''Yes, the one that killed two of us and almost killed Chrollo. He will return and this time he will kill all of us.'' Said Machi.
''That son of…'' Said Gon all pissed now putting a lot of strength and nen in his hand and this time breaking the rock.
CRUSH
The shock was so big that left both Gon and Machi impressed.
''Wow.'' Said her
''I did it!'' Said Gon all happy.
''Yes, you did it.'' Said Machi a little happy.
''I guess I have great power all along.'' Said Gon.
''don't get cocky.'' Said Machi.
''Sorry.'' Said Gon.
Machi was still amazed by this.
''I can't believe he did it. Shun takes at least a week to fully master and he did this? There is something wrong.'' Thought her.
''So, what now?" Asked Gon.
''Let's rest while I patch your hand.'' Said Machi preparing the medicine.
''Ok, just this for today?" Asked Gon
''You will advance Gyo this night after the ren training. My tip rest for two hours I will awake you.'' Said her
''Ok.'' Said Gon
''We will also work on your en. I can sense you but it like sensing a newcomer on nen.'' Said her.
''Alright, you are the expert I just need to follow you.'' Said Gon.
''At least you got the jist unlike some idiots.'' Said her thinking of Nobu, Phinks and Feitan.
''Ok, also are we going to see what are my nen attacks are?" Asked Gon.
''No, is still too early for this. Wait at least a week to do that.'' Said Machi.
''don't worry I will be patience.'' Said Gon
Machi started to patch Gon hand as she also thought of the progress that was training this brat.
''He really has power. Someone like him would be incredibly usual to the Troupe, but lets see if he survives at least a year.'' Thought her.
Gon tried to relax as Machi treated his hand. Sure, he was in a hell of a pain but he was happy that he was advancing.
''Man, this is really hard than I imagined. I never thought I would actually be on their ranks this young.'' Thought him.
He looked at his spider tattoo with the number 9, if he had that it means that Chrollo saw his potential and he didn't want to disappoint him.
''I need to get stronger.'' Thought Gon.
On a cliff far away.
''Whoever this kid is he shouldn't be with the spiders.'' Said the little girl who wasn't a little girl and yes the two star hunter Biscuit Kruger or Bisky for short.
Bisky wanting to know what was with the Phantom Troupe and that kid at this moment.
''What is the Phantom Troupe deal in this game and what does this kid play?'' Thought her observing the two with a low profile on aura so she wouldn't be detected.
