Wing leads us to the house, sitting us down. He writes down on the board "Do I have your attention... Nen means to burn your own soul. In other words it tests your strength of will and the four major principles are part of a training curriculum for strengthening your will."

Gon responds confused "Strengthening your will?"

Killua continues off of Gon "Training?"

Wing nods "That's correct. Ten means to focus your soul to a single point, to increase awareness of your ego and goals. Zetsu means to express yourself in words. Ren means to temper that will and Hatsu means to act upon that will."

Wing points out each word as Gon repeats "Ten, Zetsu, Ren and Hatsu those are the four major principles."

Wing nods "Killua-kun, Zushi tempered his refusal to lose, during his fight with you."

Killua remembers his fight with Zushi as Wing continues the conversation "So, allow me to demonstrate. Killua-kun... I think I'm going to kill you now are you ready?"

Killua nods confused "Sure, but it's not happening."

Wing lifts a finger "I'll take this step-by-step. First comes Ten. I focus my soul into a single point. Zetsu, you can express yourself mentally or verbally. I will kill you..."

Wing focuses with his eyes closed. As we see a faint purple aura surround Wing.

He opens his eyes suddenly, glaring at us. A purple aura engulfs the room causing Gon and Killua to freeze in place. Wing flinches slightly, causing Killua to disappear, jumping back up into the corner of the room.

I glare at Wing, speaking aggressively "What did you do?"

Wing smiles "If I temper my will enough, then I can act Hatsu. If your will is strong enough, you can make your opponents back down, without moving a muscle. The concept of bluffing derives from this."

Killua jumps down as I'm still glaring at Wing.

"Ren hardens that which is soft, and you lose your ability to correct an incorrect idea. Therefore, you should avoid using Ren until your soul has fully matured. Right now, you boys and Zushi should be training your souls." Wing smiles at us.

Killua stares for a few more moments. He responds casually as he leaves the room "Let's go..."

Wing stops Killua "If you wish to learn about Nen, you should focus on mastering Ten. If you master Ten, you will no longer feel the pressure of an opponent's will."

Killua nods slightly as he leaves. I follow after Killua. Gon stays a little but to talk before chasing after us.

Killua mutters loudly "Wing was lying..."

Gon responds confused "He was lying?"

Killua nods "Yeah... the explanation made perfect sense, and Wing is clearly very strong but his story had holes."

I respond "Care to explain what's eating at you?"

Killua speaks "Zushi's toughness... he kept getting up after I knocked him down. I was getting irritated, so I used all my strength during my last attack."

Killua recalls his fight with Zushi "I used all my strength in my punch, sending him flying across the floor, slamming into the wall outside the ring. I felt like I messed up at the time but when the rubble cleared Zushi got back up like it was nothing to him."

Killua thinks for a moment "Willpower didn't keep him from standing. He's hiding some other secret."

I respond "He hinted it Killua... Ten is the vital point, if I understood his whole explanation correctly Ten can be mastered to become a weapon... however I don't know exactly what type of weapon..."

Killua nods "I guess that could be it but I'm not leaving it up for speculation... we will rise to the 200th floor soon..."

1 day later

The announcer speaks excitedly "It has been a little bit over a week. It's time for the biggest match! The rookies Killua, Daniel and Gon have advanced to the 190th floor without dropping a fight. Will they be able to keep moving on? Okay, everyone... get ready to press your gamble switches!"

I grin, looking down(up) on my opponent. He stand at 190 centimetres tall towering over me with long arms. He is wearing a red and blue clown suit, bouncing around with ease. The man turns his head slightly "You have no chance against me..."

I smile, laughing at the clown "Look at you you're a joke!"

The man laughs amused "I may be a clown... but after tonight you'll be the bigger joke!" The referee begins the fight as the man bounces towards me.

I laugh, sliding my foot back, to focus on where he will make his last bounce.

He lands close as I smile "I'm going for a home run!"

I round-house the clown, connecting my foot with his head. He slams into the floor, bouncing across the field a couple of time before slamming into the wall.

The referee responds "Critical hit and knock down 3 points. Knock out! The winner is Daniel!"

I laugh, smiling at the crowd while they cheer.

Come on that man bounced 8 times off the floor that had to be considered multiple knock downs.

The announcer responds "Once again, Gon, Daniel and Killua have knocked out their opponents with one attack and all of them have successfully cleared the 190s! All three have advanced to the 200s!"

I meet up with Gon and Killua, making sure to high five Killua "Did you see that clown bounce!"

Killua nods "I think I counted 6 times..."

I retort "More like 8 times!"

Gon nods we ride the elevator all the way to level 200. We stop, getting off at the floor. Gon smiles "I wonder what the 200th floor is like?" Killua shrugs his shoulders "Beats me. I've never been up here before."

We look around, seeing fancy hallways as Gon smiles excitedly "The 200th floor is so fancy!"

Killua nods "Where's the receptionist?"

He looks up as he see the sign "Oh it's that way..." Killua leads the way as we follow him.

Gon smiles widely "We finally made it."

I nod "Yep..."

Killua responds smiling "Yeah."

We turn a corner as we stop dead in our tracks, looking into the deep dark hallway that's filled with Zetsu. Killua grits his teeth as he responds "Let's go!"

They walk off as I follow behind them.

As we get a bit into the hallway, it spreads further, swallowing us whole, stoping Gon and Killua. I step forward, taking the brunt of it. I glare down the hallway, yelling at whomever is leaving that trail "Who the HELL ARE YOU, SHOW YOURSELF!"

Someone steps out from behind the hallways, revealing herself to us "Killua-sama, Daniel-sama and Gon-sama, correct? The receptionist's desk is over here, so please register for a 200s match today. You won't be able to register after midnight, so please be careful."

I look confused as Gon whispers only for us to hear "Was she the source of all that?"

Killua shakes his head "I can't tell."

The girl smiles "By the way, there are currently one hundred and seventy-three contestants in the 200s class. Also starting from the 200s, all weapons are allowed in matches. SO please use whatever you have."

The girl lifts up her arms slightly "Also, you will no longer receive prize money in the 200s class. You will fight only for glory, so please understand if you're going to participate..." Something shows up at her side, throwing a card at the floor in front of us.

The girl turns around, bolting away after seeing the man standing in the hallway. We recognise this man so well, being the clown of all nightmare.

He turns around, smiling as Killua responds scared "H-Hisoka, Why are you here?"

Hisoka smiles "It's hardly that strange I love to fight, and this is a temple to fighting. WHY ARE YOU HERE? Just- kidding... This was no coincidence. I've been waiting for you. Remember how you ordered airship tickets over the cybernet? With little effort, it's possible to determine where and when someone will arrive."

Hisoka grins "Well, I knew you would come here eventually and so, as a veteran, I have a warning for you. It's still too early for you boys to step on this floor."

Hisoka lifts up a hand, sending a breeze down the hallway "How early depends on your efforts. Leave for now it's too early right now." Hisoka turns around, sitting on the floor as leans against the wall.

Killua yells back "That's stupid! We just got up here..."

Killua takes one step forward as Hisoka stops us "I won't let you pass! Not that you could, anyways." Hisoka floods the hallways with Zetsu, stopping us from proceeding any further.

Gon attempts to take a couple of steps forward as Wing stops us "Don't be reckless!"

We turn around, looking at him as Hisoka stops. Wing speaks to us sternly "You have no defence against his Nen."

I retort "That's NEN?"

Wing nods "Right now, you are like someone standing naked in a blizzard, wondering why it is cold. If you continue to strain your body, you may die."

Killua retorts "He can stop us from moving forward through willpower? Don't lie!"

Wing smiles "Yes, I was lying. Although I'm not technically lying completely. I will teach you the truth about Nen so retreat for now."

Gon stops, turning to look at the lady "Hey, receptionist lady."

She responds, still in shocked "Oh, yes?"

Gon asks "What happens if we don't register for a fight today?"

She smiles before responding "Gon-sama and Daniel-sama, you would start from the first floor again however... Killua-sama refused to register once before. So if he fails to register again, his commitment will be questioned, and he will be banned from participating."

Killua glares at Wing "Hey, Wing-san... If we back down now, will we be able to return here by midnight?"

Wing retorts lightly "That depends on you..."

Time Skip

We sits down as Wing explains "Well to simply put it this is Nen!"

Wing demonstrates Nen by turning flowers into darts, sending them straight into a pot plant.

I look at the pot plant, responding casually "That explains how Hisoka's cards can cut through metal like a knife through butter..."

Wing nods "Nen refers to the ability to manipulate your aura, also known as life energy. Every person possesses a small amount of life energy but in most cases, it's simply discharged. The ability to build up a shroud of life energy is known as ten. You can make your body harder, and considerably slow the effects of aging. Then comes Zetsu as you may guess, this nullifies your aura. That is effective for concealing your presence, and recovering from extreme fatigue. Which now brings us to Ren a technique to create an especially strong aura."

Wing generates an immense aura "Could you feel that?"

Killua nods "Yeah, I can feel the pressure. But it doesn't feel dangerous."

Wing nods "That's because I have no hostile intent."

Wing thinks for a moment "Aura is an energy that comes from within humans. Which makes it very effective against other humans for better or worse. If you attack a helpless person, with ill intent, you can use aura to kill."

I nod, responding calmly "What about reversing it can you create one to protect others..."

Wing nods "In theory, yes..."

Wing looks sternly at me before walking a couple of feet "Only one thing can protect you from someone who uses Nen. That is Nen, you must learn to use Nen. You must use Ten for defence. In other words you must use your aura to block the other persons aura. Otherwise..."

Wing walks up to the wall, creating a creator in the wall, almost completely destroying the wall.

The power this man just showed us, leaves us stunned. He turns around slowly, looking at us "Your body will be crushed. Nen is a power that dwells within every person. However, at present, only a few are capable of using that power. Thus, they are treated as geniuses, leaders, psychics, mystics, or even superhumans."

I massage my invisible beard "A endless variety of power that dwells within everyone..."

Wing nods "Yes... and there are two means to awaken this power. The deliberate way and the aggressive way. Zushi underwent the deliberate method. He was a quick learner, and he trained hard. So he was able to master Ten in a very short time. In about six months..."

Killua freaks "That's too long! We need to learn Ten and pass Hisoka's Nen barrier before midnight!" I nod as Wing responds "Then you'll have to try the aggressive method."

Killua asks "Will it be fast enough?"

Wing retorts lightly "THAT depends on YOU. Can you learn to hold your aura within your body, before time runs out? That is the key..."
