057 DejavuXZetsu

'There it is!' Silver was able to sense faint auras over the camp. He then tried to focus on one aura and trace it to be in Bear Grylls tent location.

'It is a success. Now I should get some rest.' He exited his Zetsu and slept. He contemplated to use Magical Beautician but decided against it. Someone might sense his hatsu release and get suspicious. He should just be starting to practice Nen after all.

Soon, a snoozing sound can be heard from his tent.

Outside, in one of the trees, Slade was looking at the entrance of Silver's tent in contemplation. As a hired bodyguard, he timed his sleep with his look out duty and kept his senses sharp.

He woke up and replaced Bradford as a look out then somehow he sensed the aura from Silver's tent vanished for a minute then returning. Had he not been on high alert he wouldn't have noticed the abnormality on Silver's tent. 'Did he already learned how to use Zetsu that quick? Or does he already knows Nen to begin with?' He shook his head in denial and started his patrol.

Slade is a genius martial artist who mastered almost all available fighting disciplines. Thus, he also happened upon Shingen Ryu. He was 15 then, when he studied the art. Two months later, a Master appreciated his talent and took him as a disciple. He learned to use Nen in a month which showed his martial talent also extended to Nen. He refused to believe that a kid barely 10 would be more talented than him.

<3 Hours later>

"You ready, Kid?" Asked Grylls.

"Yes, I am." Silver enthusiastically answered.

"Brought your extra clothes this time?" Grylls asked in joking manner.

"I don't need to! I'll show those wolves why they call me the blue wall." Declared Silver.

<5 hours later>

"What is wrong with these birds? Why are they so deadset on attacking me!"

"You shouldn't have eaten the eggs that I told you not to eat earlier!" Grylls shouted from the side while laughing at the sorry sight Silver is currently showing. Silver is being pecked and scratched all over by a flock of nail-beak birds.

Earlier, Silver saw an egg on the ground while searching for clues. Not knowing any better, he picked it up and bragged to Bear Grylls. "Hey look! I found a source of protein." He then broke the egg and drank what's inside before Grylls could warn him. Thus the current situation.

"What happened to you? You look like a meat who went through a grinder." -Nellie

"More like a worm who got caught by a flock of birds and tossed away." -Bradford.

"...Useless. Utterly useless." -Slade. 'And here I thought you already learned Nen in a night. Disappointing.'

"I though you were the blue wall or something, should be the called the human hole. Hahaha." -Marco

"I know right!" Grylls laughed along with the group.

"Now now. Be kind guys. He is just a kid after all." Lara comforted as she pat Silver's head a few times. "You should get changed. Dinner should be ready by the time you finish."

"Why does this feels like a dejavu?!" Silver complained.

"Because it is! Hahahahahaha" Grylls and Bradford answered at the same time.

The same gathering went through that night. They discussed what happened during the day and then updated the map.

After dinner Lara and Silver continued their training. "Let's continue where we left of last night. Practice makes perfect after all."

"Osu!" Silver then emptied his mind and readied with the start of the training. Lara excluded her Aura to which Silver acknowledge and pointed his finger to Lara's direction. The same as last night, he could feel Lara's general direction because her aura is like a flashlight directed to him. Then Lara reigned her aura like last night to that of an elevated unconcious Aura output.

'Here it is. Should I show what I learned last night or pretend?' After moment of hesitation he decided. 'Grylls already saw me use it once so no point denying I can't do it. Besides, Grylls never said that if I know how to reign in my aura means I already know how to use Nen.'

Silver used Zetsu. He deliberately slowed the receding speed of his aura as if a beginner and tried to sense the aura outside. Having experienced it earlier this morning he now knows what to do next.

This time he sensed an aura that resembled a human silhouette to his right. 'This should be Lara. Let's try sensing the others.' He then sensed two auras in the general direction of the bonfire. 1 aura leaking ever slightly uncontrolled while the other is contained to one self. 'Must be Grylls and Bradford.' He then sensed another small uncontrolled aura near the wash area and he guessed it to be Nellie.

He then concetrated in the general direction of Marco's tent and found another source of controlled Nen. Then he tried to find Slade. 'Where is he? Is he away for a patrol?' Sensing nothing wrong he went back to sensing Lara. He then accurately pointed to Lara's direction.

'This feels like Zetsu! Is this his natural talent doing its thing?' Lara couldn't help be surprised with Silver's talent. 'While reigning in your Aura it really is much easier to sense other's aura since you're senses are not clouded by your own aura.'

After a short while, she was again surprised as Silver accurately pointed her direction. 'So quick! He just learned how to reign his Aura and could now sense an other's elevated Aura.' "Good, you've gotten better in sensing the aura of others when they are elevated above normal levels. Then let's try if you can sense the aura on normal non-Nen users." She moved to another spot and further reigned in her aura to a normal uncontrolled level.

To his surprised Silver was still able to point her direction after a minute. Had she known that Silver is deliberately slowing his action she might have guessed that Silver already knows Nen.

'Amazing! Better not inflate the kid's ego.' "That is great, you have managed with this progress in such a short time. Now let's test your senses to the limit." She then again walked on a different spot while using Zetsu herself.
