Loki quickly went behind Nobunaga and repeated the same process of passing his aura through Nobunaga's aura nodes.
Within a couple of minutes, Nobunaga had learned how to control his aura. Having finished unlocking his aura, Nobunaga went over to Machi and Uvogin to discuss Nen.
Since they learned to use Nen, the few of them had been in their own world. The three began to play around for the next few minutes like a child with a new toy.
The power that Nen brought and the feeling of aura flowing through their veins left them unable to stop playing with it.
The three of them were constantly exploring and messing around with aura, before suddenly, Machi's eyes widened as she turned to look at Uvogin and Nobunaga.
"You two stop messing around!!!" Machi yelled.
Machi had come out of her musing for a moment to see Uvogin and Nobunaga trashing her house in excitement. Looking around, the tiny house looked like it would start to collapse any second.
This caused Machi to gain a black line on her forehead.
Under Machi's restraint, the three of them finally calmed down and began to look at Loki.
"Hey Loki, hurry up and tell us what to do next!"
After unlocking his aura, Uvogin also began to want to learn how to use some of the other skills Loki has talked about. The feeling of becoming stronger and stronger was intoxicating to him!
Loki, hearing this, smiled before gesturing to everyone to sit at the table.
"Very well then my friend. Everybody come over and gather around and I'll show you what we will be doing next!"
With all three now sitting at the table Loki motioned towards the cup of water in the center of the table.
"If you all remember, earlier I said that we would use this to test your Nen Affinity. This is what we will be doing next."
Seeing this, all three glanced at the cup curiously.
"Nen is divided into six major attributes, namely [Enhancer], [Transmuter], [Conjurer], [Emitter], [Manipulator], and [Specialist]." Loki told them with a smile.
"Everyone has their own attribute with its own unique strengths. This is mainly due to everyone having different personalities, growth environments, and qualifications. Nen being a perfect representation of your own individuality reflects that."
Machi, who heard this, instantly interjected.
"What do you mean? Haven't we already been able to do everything without checking our affinity?"
"Oh my dear, that was just scratching the surface of what Nen has to offer." Loki said with a smile.
"Based on your test results, you'll each create a unique ability that represents you, or a Hatsu as named by other Nen users. Even though I myself have yet to create my own Hatsu, wanting to master the basics before moving forward, our neighbors have taught me that I should create one sooner than later."
Hearing this made the three's eyes light up.
"Now before beginning, depending on your affinity, it's best to develop that attribute mainly. We wouldn't want you to spend your whole lives perfecting an ability that wasn't suited for your talent would we?"
Hearing this, all three nodded to show they understood.
"That's great! The water divination test that you're about to try is the most commonly used method of judging a person's affinity. By inserting your aura through the cup, you will be able to know your attribute depending on how it reacts."
Hearing this, all three were excited to find out their attributes and rushed to go forward. Loki already knew their attributes, but he decided to stay quiet and let them try it to confirm that nothing had changed.
Uvogin was the first to go and started to put his hands around the cup before looking at Loki to explain.
"To begin, just start letting your aura flow from your hands and around the cup my friend." Loki said with a smile.
After a moment, the water in the cup suddenly overflowed.
"It seems like you're an Enhancer, Uvogin…This department can enhance the original nature of oneself or weapons. It can maximize the ability of attack, defense, and healing. People belonging to this attribute can also inject aura into different objects to increase their strength."Loki said with a light tone.
"Is that so?"
Uvogin grinned and was obviously satisfied with the result.
"It seems to fit my style very well!"
Uvogin clenched his right fist, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anticipation for the future.
The next was Machi leaving Nobunaga as the last one again.
Machi repeated the process but was confused due to no change in the cup. After a second, she couldn't help but look at Loki.
"Try tasting the water…." Loki told her after seeing her look.
Machi did so and dipped her finger, and then tasted it.
"It's bitter…" she said with a frown.
"If the water tastes different, that means you're a Transmuter. Transmuters change their aura to copy the properties of something else. This could be a natural element, a man-made material, or even an animal. They can also change the shape of their aura if they want. Transmuters aren't limited to solid objects either! If you wanted to, you could even make your aura act like electricity."
Hearing this, Machi nodded thoughtfully and touched the thin fishing line around her hands.
"Is it finally my turn…?" Nobunaga asked with an excited look.
Loki quickly nodded to him, and after a moment, Nobunaga finished testing. Just like the original, he was an enhancer like Uvogin.
"Well I guess you two are a match made in heaven." Machi said with a light smile as she stared at Uvogin and Nobunaga, causing them both to blush.
"Haha, I suppose you're right Machi. I believe it's my turn to go now though." Loki said with a smirk.
Hearing this all three looked over to see Loki's test.
Loki calmly placed his hands over the cup of water and started pouring aura in, careful to see if there were any changes.
After a moment of seeing no changes, Loki decided to dip his finger in and give it a taste.
"Oh my… How sweet! I suppose we are also a match made in heaven, Miss Machi." Loki said with an expression that made you want to punch him.
Hearing this, black lines appeared on Machi's forehead, causing Uvogin and Nobunaga to laugh before she sent them a death glare.
After this, Loki gave the three a lecture about techniques and explained things related to characteristics of other attributes.
"Now then, designing your own Hatsu will be temporarily put on hold until after you have thoroughly mastered the basics of Nen. I wouldn't want you guys to create a Hatsu without understanding the principles." Loki said lightly.
"As for how you can practice for now, the most important thing is to rely on Ren. By forcing out all of your aura, you can expand the amount of aura you can hold. The more aura you have, the stronger you will become and greater your stamina. This is a general training activity for every attribute. If you want to further your specific departments, you will need some special training."
Suddenly Loki raised his finger. Seeing this, all three of them were extremely puzzled.
"Guid some aura towards your eyes." Loki told them.
Hearing this, all three of them immediately started to try and guide their aura.Soon they could see that on top of his finger was a small number one.
"This is a technique called Gyo so remember how to do this. You guys need to always remember to keep some aura around your eyes when you are walking around or fighting from now on. If you get snuck up on by an attack using Nen, you may die," he told them seriously.
Hearing this, they suddenly realized the consequences of not doing this.
"Going on, this is a method you can use to train your aura manipulation. The goal is to be able to make a number from one to nine in one minute. The ultimate goal is to be able to do it within five seconds.." Loki said while looking at the three.
Machi, who heard this, thought about it silently before starting to try. Loki moved his gaze over to Nobunaga and Uvogin before continuing on.
"Practicing as an enhancer is also very simple. Use one stone to break a thousand other stones in one day." Loki said with a mischievous smile.
Uvogin and Nobunaga instantly fell into thinking at the same time.
"When using the stone, I have to wrap the aura around the stone, right? Otherwise, the stone would break before I could break a thousand. Hehehe, it just so happens that there are a lot of stones in Meteor City." Uvogin said with a laugh.
Uvogin and Nobunaga discussed for a while and then planned to go out and find some stones to exercise their control.
'Seeing this is how Biscuit trained Gon and Killua, it should be useful for Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Machi, right? I'll probably have to find a real teacher in the future.' Loki thought to himself.
After a while, Nobunaga and Uvogin started to leave and said goodbye for the day, leaving Machi and Loki alone again. Loki looked over to see what Machi was doing, only to see her extremely focused on trying to make numbers appear.
Seeing this, Loki decided it would also be a good time to finally create his Hatsu.
