June 9th - Evening

Killua next match was quick seeing as Gido's only way of moving around was destroyed by Gon.

June 10th - Evening

Gon's match was entertaining...

Announcer speaks up "After losing to Killua, Riehlvelt's record stands at 5-3, leaving him no more chances. As you know, after four losses, you're out of the contest. You'll have to start over from the beginning. He appears wary of Gon's speed, and already has his whips out. Meanwhile, Gon isn't carrying his fishing rod... How does he plan on fighting?"

The referee starts the fight.

As the fight starts, Riehlvelt opens with his Song of Defence. "Oh, Riehlvelt opened with Song of Defence! Riehlvelt is attempting to end the fight now!"

Gon goes into a squatting position "Oh, Gon is squatting?"

Gon pulls out one of the concrete floors, lifting it up as I look at Killua "What is he trying to do?" Killua quiets me down, telling me to watch. I turn back to the match "Amazing... He pried a floor tile loose by himself! And then he threw it!"

Riehlvelt dodges the tile barely, flying out of the way with his ability, which he also used in his fight against Killua.

Gon rushes in, flying in front of Riehlvelt "Gon has already anticipated him." Gon manages to stop the chair, forcing the chair to a complete stop. He then moves on to forcing Riehlvelt to drop the whips.

Gon attaches the whips onto Riehlvelt.

I smile slightly. Oh no... Then can't end too well... His going to give the poor guy a heart attack.

Gon gets in close to Riehlvelt, screaming in his ear "SWITCH... ON!"

Riehlvelt drops to the floor as turn to Killua, asking him a question "Did... Gon, just pull a bluff...?"

Killua nods as I laugh like an idiot, right next to Killua. He looks at me in shock from my sudden outburst.

The referee calls the match over "Riehlvelt has fallen unconscious. Our winner is Gon!" Killua gives a quick thumbs up to Gon.

June 10th - Night

When we reach Wing's house, I contemplated on whether to tell everyone about the upcoming fight or not, for June the 18th.

Killua already knows about it, because he was there when I signed up for it.

Due to my desires getting the better of me, I decided to leave it for a little bit later in the night.

Wing makes an announcement "Today, we will finally begin to train in Hatsu. Once you master Hatsu, you will learn the basics Nen principles. After that, you will need to work on developing your individual Nen style. Hatsu is the technique by which you control your Nen. It is the culmination of Nen, and there are six distinct Categories."

Wing draws up on the board a Hexagon, pointing and marking out each spot.

Wing points to the top middle "Enchanters are able to strengthen objects"

Wing moves his hand to point to the top left "Emitters can propel their aura."

Wing moves over to the top right "Transmuters can alter their aura's qualities."

Wing drops down a corner tapping the bottom right "Conjurers are able to manifest their aura."

Wing moves over to the bottom left "Manipulators can use their aura to control objects and creatures."

Wing aims next to the bottom middle "Specialist are those with a special aura that doesn't fall within the other five classes."

Wing stands up straight "The key is to find the power that suits you."

Gon responds confused "The power that suits you?"

Wing nods "Nen is linked to individual ability, with two areas of particular prominence. The first would be your natural potential. The second would be potential refined later in life. For example Gon-kun, was born with a flexible, springy body. His acute senses were the product of a childhood spent in nature. From the moment of birth, your Nen aura falls within one of the six categories. While rare, it is possible for your Nen aura to later change types. If you attempt to learn an ability that does not fit your inclination, you'll find it very difficult."

Wing points to the Hexagon "This Hexagon depicts the relationship among the Six categories. The closer a class is to your own, the higher your compatibility to learn it. If your born with an aura of the Enchanter category, you will find Enchanter abilities easiest to learn and Master. The adjacent Transmuter and Emitter classes will also be easy to learn. On the other hand, the Specialist class, which is furthest away, would be the most difficult. To illustrate, I'll use skills that you've seen for yourselves."

Wing lifts up his hand "Hisoka was able to change his aura into a rubbery substance. This would be a Transmuter ability. Gido uses his tops and body as weapons by making them spin faster, which would be an Enchanter power. However, since using so many tops as weapons also requires Manipulator skill, he wasn't as successful. As for Kastro, His Tiger Bite was incredibly strong. Had he mastered it, he would have been among the strongest Nen users. I believe that his aura fell into the Enchanter class. However he focused his energy on the power to create a double, which is a conjurer skill and he also required a Manipulator ability to control the double. Both of those are relatively far from the Enchanter Category."

Gon points out "So neither was compatible with an Enchanter type?" Wing nods "Indeed, it requires a great deal of work and natural talent to learn an incompatible ability and as a result, he squandered most of his Nen potential."

Killua retorts lightly "So he made the wrong choice."

"He was a great fighter..." Zushi sighs as I continue off him "That was sadly ended by a sadist clown..."

Wing smiles "Well? Do you see the importance of understanding your own auras and inclinations?"

Gon and Zushi nods as I think for a moment while Killua speaks "Given that, is there any way to learn which category your aura falls into?"

"There is..." Wing grins, with a small smile.

Wing moves on, pulling out a wine glass. He continues on by filling it with water, then finally dropping a leaf on top of the water, near the middle.

Wing continues the explanation "Water Divination, a Shingen-ryu technique for classifying your aura. It's also used in Hatsu training. You place your hands beside the cup, and use Ren. The result will reveal your category."

Wing places his hands on each side of the cup, flooding it with Ren. The water in the cup increases as it drips down the sides of the cup Wing explains "If the amount of water changes, that means you are an Enchanter. This shows that my aura falls within the Enhancer class. Okay, now it's your turn."

Gon goes first, making the water drips off the sides of the cup.

Killua remarks "Gon's an Enhancer, too?"

Zushi goes next. The leaf moves in the water, changing its direction. Zushi looks confused at the cup "The leaf moved!"

Wing explains with a smile "If the leaf moves, that makes you a Manipulator." Killua claps his hands together, remarking with a smile "Okay, I'm next!"

Killua looks confused, continuing to flood the cup with his Ren, which in turn does nothing.

Killua increases the output of his Ren, making no further changes "Nothing's happening."

"Indeed..." Wing smiles as Gon looks confused at the cup.

Killua frowns "Do I not have any potential?"

Wing shakes his head "Not at all... why don't you taste the water."

We each dip our finger into the water, tasting it.

Killua exclaims "It might be a little sweet..." Gon nods "Your right." Zushi nods "Yes, it's a bit sweet."

I smile. Killua tastes so sweet...

Don't think dirty thoughts! DON'T THINK DIRTY THOUGHTS!... Too late...

I sigh, turning to Wing "Can you care to explain..."

Wing nods "It may be water but the taste has changed, correct?" We nod as Wing continues "That makes Killua-kun a Transmuter."

Killua smiles as I grab his hands "I SWEAR ON MY LIFE! If you learn to change water into chocolate, I will dedicate a Temple to you!"

I quickly let go of Killua's hands, turning slightly red. I can't believe I even went there... And grabbed his hands at the same time!

"Ahh... Sure... That's if I don't drink it first!" Killua blushes.

I nod, feeling guilty for a moment before exclaiming "I'm next!"

I focus on the cup, flooding the cup with Ren. The leaf moves, turning slowly clock wise.

Wing smiles "Daniel you are an Manipulator..."

I wiggle my fingers, smiling slyly "Hear that Killua? Be careful, I might Manipulate you to do my bidding..."

Killua wacks me in the back of the head "In your dreams!"

I massage the back of my head, remembering something "Hey... I'm curious about this. Can I try this again with a different approach...?"

Wing nods "Sure. But I highly doubt there will be any change."

I acknowledge Wing's response "I know but it never hurts to try..."

I place my bag on the floor, grabbing the mask I brought from earlier this week.

Killua freaks "Creepy mask..."

I smile at Killua "That's why I brought it! It looked so damn cool from how creepy it looked. I always felt weird. When I donned the mask, I felt almost different."

I slap on the mask, placing my hands on either side of the glass "Focus..." Better than your dad, when he reads Dōjinshi!

I flood the glass with Ren, moving the leaf slightly. Wing points out "See n-"

Before Wing could finish his sentence, the leaf sinks, burning up in the middle of the water.

"That's weird..." I mutter under my breath.

Wing responds, slightly in shock "If that was your first outcome, that would have made you a Specialist. I can't say I haven't heard of this happening before. But, ideally you could train in two different areas, now that you know this fact. Although, you can't really train Ren as a Specialist because of the unique outcome."

I acknowledge Wings comment, smiling at the group "It's great to know that! But, I think I'll stick to being a Manipulator... It sounds cooler..."

Wing nods "In that case... now, your four know how your auras are classified. Use the next four weeks to train hard, so the Water Divination results become more pronounced."

We nod in agreeance at our new assignment as I bow slightly to Wing "Sorry to point this out. But I have a match coming up on the 18th of June."

Wing frowns "Ok, but I wouldn't recommend it. You-"

I cut off Wing, slightly looking in Killua's direction "Sadly it can't be avoided someone close to me was threatened... if I didn't sign up."

Gon clenches his fist "Again! Who did they threaten, Zushi?"

I shake my head, looking at Killua. He shakes his head, begging me not to tell them. I smile at Killua before turning back to the others "They shall remain anonymous... If the person that threatened them, gave me their name. We would of dealt with them quickly. Unfortunately, I do not know who Y.D. is..."

I grit my teeth, feeling infuriated "Not only that! They just happened to pick the same day, as my birthday... Not many people actually know my birthday at the moment."

Gon responds surprised "Your birthday is on June the 18th?"

I nod, quickly yelling "And NO presents!"

Gon sighs in frustration as Wing nods "Be careful then. For someone to attack two personal things in your life, it means they are seriously aiming to speak to you."

I nod, looking at Killua "I know! And I plan on letting them know... don't get involved in my personal life!"

I'll admit when I first saw the fight between Gon and Riehlvelt I laughed my arse off.
