Chapter 211 Illumi: I Happen To Be Very Close To Here

Tsubone is the most experienced butler of the Zoldyck Family.

Whether it is in terms of strength and experience, she is considered top-notch.

Not only does she excel in tracking and anti-tracking abilities, she also has her own unique skills.

However, this time, while she did sense the presence of being observed, she couldn't pinpoint the exact location of that 'gaze'.

This led her to conclude that the other party is an expert.

Under this premise, the other party obviously knows her identity, otherwise there would be no reason to observe her every move here.

Based on this, Tsubone speculated that the other party is likely an enemy of the Zoldyck Family, which could pose a threat to Killua's existence.

'No matter who it is, I must confirm their identity and movements as soon as possible."

Tsubone calmly observed the situation on the ring.

In order to ensure that Killua can train in the Heavens Arena without being affected, she must not allow any external factors to interfere with him.

In the auditorium in the distance.

Moses was unaware that his actions had led Tsubone to make many wild speculations.

After learning that the person responsible for protecting Killua was Tsubone, he was not particularly surprised.

After all, Tsubone is one of the top experts in the Zoldyck Family and is indeed capable of handling this task.

After confirming this, Moses did not directly retract his shadow, but instead let it leave the arena and lurk in a hidden corner.

Then, Moses stood up and left.

The showdown between Menchi and Killua has ended, and there is no point in him staying to watch further.

Near the elevator.

Moses waited here for Menchi to arrive.

After a while…

Menchi came to find Moses.

She had a smile on her face, evidently in good spirits.

"Master!"

Seeing Moses waiting for her by the elevator, Menchi smiled as usual.

But what awaited her was no longer Moses's gentle smile.

"Using Ren against an opponent who doesn't understand Nen, and this opponent is even younger than you."

Moses's face was stern, his tone serious.

He didn't directly reprimand Menchi but pointed out the fact that had occurred minutes ago.

The smile on Menchi's face slowly faded, replaced by embarrassment.

She knew it was kind of bullying to use Ren against Killua, and it was unnecessary behavior.

But over the past few days, she had accumulated a lot of frustration from Killua's attitude, and it was already remarkable that she could endure until now.

Now that she finally had the opportunity, she didn't think much and just wanted to vent it all out.

That's why the scene in the ring just now happened.

"Master, I was wrong..."

Recognizing her mistake, Menchi lowered her head.

Seeing Menchi admit her mistake so readily, Moses's tone softened and he asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

"I shouldn't have used Ren against Killua."

"…"

Moses remained silent for a moment, then sighed lightly: "And?"

"Eh?"

Menchi furrowed her brow.

Moses didn't speak, just looked at her expressionlessly.

Under Moses's gaze, Menchi kept thinking about what kind of answer Moses wanted to hear from her.

'Apart from using Ren, were there any other obvious shortcomings and mistakes?'

Menchi tried to think hard, recalling her behavior in the match.

"Master…"

She looked at Moses and said hesitantly: "I shouldn't have let 'emotions' dominate my actions."

"Go back with me."

Hearing Menchi's response, Moses said so and then walked into the elevator.

Menchi felt a bit nervous in her heart, and followed behind Moses with her head down.

On the way back, Moses remained silent.

Today, when Moses witnessed Menchi's behavior on the ring, he suddenly understood why that unnamed old man only led Menchi to take a small step toward the world of Nen without accepting her as his disciple.

Cultivate the mind before cultivating Nen.

This is one of the principles of the Shingen-ryu. And Moses interpreted it as self-control.

In this big world, there are Nen Users who have learned Nen step by step from the Shingen-ryu with a master, as well as rogue Nen Users who awakened Nen due to various circumstances.

Compared to the former who receive systematic teaching, the rogue Nen Users, who didn't have much knowledge about Nen, are more prone to 'losing control'.

Perhaps 'losing control' is not the most accurate term; it's more about lacking the self-control to govern the power.

After Moses learned Nen, he quickly noticed certain changes, or in other words enhancements, in his personality and thoughts.

This enabled him to deal with various sudden situations more calmly.

Although he didn't think it was a bad thing, he also realized that the power of Nen could have a certain influence on humans.

To ensure that this influence leads to positive outcomes, Moses realized the importance of 'self-control'.

But nothing is absolute.

It's past experiences that have gradually shaped Moses's current understanding.

Initially, it was just an uncontrollable thought that led to the birth of Soul Echo ability.

Is this good or bad?

As a transmigrator with theoretical knowledge, after stepping into the threshold of Nen, instead of eagerly testing his attribute with Water Divination, he restrained his impulses and laid a solid foundation in the Four Fundamental Techniques.

Is this right or wrong?

Only by being here can one feel the true nature of this world.

And everything always has two sides.

So Moses doesn't believe there's only one path to follow.

If he sets aside self-control and allows Nen to amplify its influence.

In fact, it may not necessarily result in 'losing control', it may also be a smooth journey brought about by 'releasing one's nature'.

Now, Moses is thinking about this matter from the perspective of a 'master'.

Should he make Menchi focus on self-control, thereby progressing steadily?

Or should he let Menchi follow her heart, either releasing her true nature to tap all her potential or risking 'losing control' and heading towards some extreme?

If his disciple were someone like Gon, Moses would choose without hesitation to let Gon embrace the potential brought by releasing his true nature.

But for Menchi …

Moses felt it necessary to be more cautious.

After returning to the room, Moses, speaking from his own experience, shared these thoughts with Menchi, mainly explaining the benefits and drawbacks of both approaches.

After hearing this, Menchi fell into contemplation.

Moses just quietly watched from the side.

Good or bad, right or wrong.

In fact, what's more important is to make as many decisions as possible at countless crossroads in the future that are closest to the correct answers.

Only by making more correct decisions than wrong ones can Moses become the current him.

"From today onwards, you should focus on the training Shu."

Moses then requested Menchi to temporarily set aside her Ren training.

"I'll listen to Master."

Menchi has always been obedient and docile in front of Moses.

During this time, Moses planned to let Menchi settle down a bit.

…

Five days later.

Moses reached the 200th floor without a single defeat, feeling no pressure.

After receiving the 200 million Jenni prize money for his final match in the arena, Moses did not immediately go to the 200th floor to register.

If he didn't register today, he would lose his participant status and have to start over, while also earning another round of prize money.

"Let's go back first."

It was still early, so Moses was not in a hurry to make a decision.

At the same time.

At the airport in the city where the Heavens Arena is located, Illumi walked down from the airship, holding his phone to his ear.

"Tsubone, I have just completed a commission, and I happened to be very close to here, so I can respond to your request for assistance."

"Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Illumi."

Tsubone's voice came through the phone.

Five days.

She had been unable to uncover the source of that 'gaze'. And without finding it, it remained a hidden danger.

So she applied to the family for the dispatch of an additional personnel, but she didn't expect Illumi to voluntarily respond to this request for assistance.
