"Little Su Yan!"
Shizuka Marikawa's eyes lit up the moment she saw Su Yan arrive.
Her previously lethargic demeanor vanished instantly, and her entire being seemed to surge with vitality.
She trotted toward Su Yan, mumbling, "Give me a hug! I need to recharge my Su Yan energy!"
Bouncy. Incredibly bouncy.
Even though the blonde airhead was wearing a loose casual top, it did nothing to hide the sheer size of her 'heart.'
With every step and hop, it looked as if she might pop right out of her collar at any moment.
Before Su Yan could even react, a fragrant scent filled his nose.
A soft sensation instantly enveloped his entire head.
A slight sense of breathlessness slowly washed over him.
Indeed, caught off guard, he was once again 'body-slammed' by Shizuka Marikawa's massive chest.
"What's going on?"
Su Yan struggled to pull his head out from between the two bouncy spheres and looked at Shizuka curiously.
"Little Su Yan, I'm about to burn out!"
Shizuka took a deep breath of Su Yan's scent before looking at him with a miserable expression. "Rika-chan is driving me crazy! Can't you find someone else to teach her?"
"Please? I'll do anything!"
Shizuka pressed her hands together, blinking at Su Yan with a wink.
Su Yan poked her forehead with his index finger. "You really only think about yourself, don't you?"
"That's not true! I..."
Shizuka puffed out her cheeks, reflexively arguing. "I clearly..."
"Clearly what?" Su Yan countered.
"Clearly..."
'Clearly, I helped you win over Rika-chan...'
But Shizuka didn't finish the sentence.
Since Rika Minami was still there, she knew Rika would find a way to torment her even more if she heard that.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Shizuka complained about her best friend, Rika Minami, in her head.
"Alright, let me see what's happening first," Su Yan said, gently pushing Shizuka away.
He was curious; how long had it been since lunch?
Was Shizuka really being driven to the brink already?
Logically, everyone has a bit of a desire to be a teacher.
Just like Su Yan when he was teaching Shizuka, Saeko Busujima, or Rika Minami.
Watching them master new pos... knowledge.
That sense of satisfaction was beyond words.
But Shizuka was different.
She was just lazy.
Su Yan turned his gaze toward Rika Minami.
The tanned beauty was sitting cross-legged on the bed, focused on meditation. Even Su Yan's arrival didn't break her concentration.
Su Yan tilted his head and looked at Shizuka. "Is she training her mind?"
"Yeah."
Shizuka nodded and explained her teaching method for Rika.
Based on what Su Yan had told her before.
To learn Nen without being awakened by a Nen user, one must first hone the body and then the will.
Only by achieving a state where mind and body are one.
Is it possible to grasp Nen.
After Rika learned this, her approach was simple: constant sparring matches with Shizuka.
When she got tired, she would sit down and clear her mind to meditate, trying to sense the life energy slowly leaking from her body.
This was a nightmare for Shizuka.
Every ten or twenty minutes, she had to spar with Rika.
"Shizuka-san, your teaching method is wrong."
Su Yan gently stroked Shizuka's smooth blonde hair.
Is it possible to learn Nen in this world without an awakening or a Nen seed for assistance?
Su Yan believed it was.
Because the essence of Nen lies in a living being's control over their own life energy.
So, in theory, any living thing has the potential to learn Nen.
Even a cat or a dog.
So why were there no Nen users in this world?
It was simple: the concept of Nen didn't exist here.
It's like how humans developed for thousands of years without anyone building a nuclear bomb before the concept was proposed.
However, once the first country built one, other major powers developed their own in a relatively short time.
Nen worked the same way.
Take the Chimera Ants from the Hunter world, for example. How many years did they breed in a world where Nen clearly existed?
Yet, no Nen users appeared among them until they left the Dark Continent and encountered human society.
Eventually, Neferpitou, one of the three Royal Guards, explored the brain of the power-scaling unit Pokkle to understand the Nen system, finally spreading it to the entire swarm.
The world never lacks geniuses, but it often lacks inspiration.
Of course, natural Nen users might appear.
But aside from the Specialization type, there's no other possibility for a natural user.
And a Specialist who hasn't systematically studied Nen is more like a psychic than a true Nen user.
Because they don't know how to control aura, let alone use it to awaken others.
Therefore, the development of Nen in Hunter x Hunter must have been a long process, built up by generations of users.
Only then did it become the flourishing system it is today.
"Eh? Why?"
Shizuka looked at Su Yan in surprise. "But I'm doing exactly what you told me to!"
"Because Rika Minami isn't a pure martial artist."
Su Yan shook his head. This was a matter of information disparity.
Normally, Shizuka's method would be fine.
Cultivating the body and mind to achieve unity.
But the problem was, could you expect a woman who craves excitement like Rika to completely calm her mind?
Sure enough, hearing Su Yan's words, Rika could no longer stay focused.
She opened her eyes, got off the bed, and asked Su Yan urgently, "Hey brat, what do you mean by that?"
"Simply put, this method doesn't suit you. Forcing it will only yield half the result for twice the effort," Su Yan explained.
Rika quickly pressed, "Then what method suits me?"
"Let's see..."
Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Think carefully. Is there anything you love doing? Something that makes you so happy and energized that you can do it without getting tired?"
"Something you can't help but get addicted to, and even after it's over, you can't stop thinking about it?"
"Do—"
Rika immediately thought of what she had done with Su Yan in the early hours of the morning. The word almost slipped out.
But after the first syllable, she swallowed the rest of the thought.
A faint blush appeared on her tanned cheeks.
She bit her lip slightly and said to Su Yan in a coarse tone, "You little brat, if you want to sleep with me, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
"Do you really think I'd turn you down?"
Seeing this, Shizuka suddenly realized.
A mischievous smile appeared on her face as she poked Su Yan's cheek. "Little Su Yan, you're such a pervert."
