As I sat down on the airship I contemplated my seemingly rash choices and smiled 'yes this should work this will be fun' and got back to my training before resting.

Flashback
The moment illumi yelled bring it karma moved from 6 steps in front of him to behind him swinging his palm and striking his neck only to feel a sharp pain from the sturdy Ken jumping back karma seemed to get serious
"Forgive me" Before Illumi could brag I cut his cheek with my sharpened nail.
Grinning "You feel for it" he landed with 50% of his aura on his brother's stomach only to miss.
Flicker steps and rhythm echo my favorite techniques letting me move in your blind spots regardless of strength differences and deceive with after images I struck again with adjusted might and knocked illumi out
"Sorry brother I'm in a hurry I need to confirm something good luck" Karma spoke to the unconscious illumi unaware that the next time they met he wouldn't be his cute younger brother any longer
Danger
I flicker stepped at maximum speed to dodge a hug? this woman no I refuse I struck without holding back a full powered spin kick.
… "Oops. Uhh well Dad she startled me I swear"
Silva stood there shocked not because he hit his wife that's irrelevant but that even with his nen unable to be used consciously it seemed to move with some order Finally he looked over to the beaten illumi in 3 moves.
Kikyo stood back up " All grown up already ah my sweet child" She stood with negligible damage… well physical at least
"I was going to warn you karma of the outside world but, I can count on one hand assassins with better fundamentals than you good luck" Silva smiled patting my shoulder
"Well that too sure, but do consider creating a collaborative Nen ability with your twin It is very possible with you two and you would even bypass your memory restrictions just keep it in mind" Zeno spoke I still couldn't sense him while he was in Zetsu, I will change that

Flashback end
' I mean now my goals are pretty simple finish my kill list before illumi, find material for avatarazation, finish my heavens arena quest as soon as possible then finally prepare for the quest according to Mr. What you can obtain anything from money to straight up hatsus depending on the difficulty completed'
He continued to punch trying to go faster and faster he kept thinking back to the enhancement hatsu he saw. There was one that spoke to him. Called lethal strike with a simple training method kill 1,000 men in one blow then if you have enhancer affinity create the hatsu multiplying attacks done on vital areas by 8 fold
Now there are three issues for me I'd likely need to do more to obtain this being a non-enhancer and second it would have a weaker effect worse case
I could waste all that time on something minor like dealing 10% more damage to my vitals a waste of time, the biggest issue is my talent having a +1 memory limit is limiting my plans
Well I'm not really in that bad of a situation 'open chat'
————————————-
Closing the chat since the airship had landed at heavens arena, before I challenged the tower I needed to kill someone in this city a man by the name of Gaston
"Gato sign me up to the arena, I will finish up a request" Gato seemed absolutely shocked as I killed my presence idk why he's surprised an assassin can be stealthy. Am I that much of a meathead food for thought
'Young master karma used zetsu? I thought he sealed his nen how is that possible?' resigning himself to his duties he left,
My target was a gang leader, after observing him for 1 day I've confirmed he has no nen but his bodyguards seemed to have nen and were quite adept too. Finalizing my plan I decided to go for the simplest approach
Acording to my research he seemed responsible for the drug trade, of a few citys and liked to torture rival gang members
Finding the pattern to where the gangster would eat was child's play.
I sat in a restaurant eating with another family they had no issue eating with a random kid after being convinced that it was no harm especially after being fooled into thinking I was just a paranoid kid who liked being seated next to the windows and after a bit of talking they warmed up.
"So big man what's with the mask?" the father of the trio asked lightheartedly
"Ah sorry, my face scares people after the accident," I said with a slight stutter
Before the man could offer condolences he and every other in the restaurant lowered their voices and looked to the door
" Daddy isn't that the man who skinned Wally" the daughter whispered in fear. Good their focus left me.
My target entered the restaurant people seemed terrified of them. I look around seeing that they're still cautious and wait until the body guards begin to talk to one another.
At that moment when the checked food is being eaten I silently pull a firearm and fire
Near instantly the two bodyguards tense the smaller one seems to start looking around and the other checks on the boss…. Too late with one bullet I leap through the window and leave through the alleyways.
Strangely only the thinner bodyguard seemed to notice me
In the end, it didn't matter how strong his guards were or his caution once they let down their guard one bullet was all it took. As I stepped behind a dumpster I removed my mask and hat, before putting on sunglasses.
And blended in with the crowd soon nen users were at my prior location swearing 'They were fast and decisive leaving their dead boss luckily I didn't stick around or worse clash with them, even with Nen, and assuming they had no Hatsu it would be a gamble if I could kill them'
'Although I doubt they could stop me from running if I really wanted'
"99 to go a few should be in Heavens Arena too " I whistled as I came to my temporary home A rented-out place three miles away from heavens arena
'All things considered, I can probably complete the 100 kills in under 200 days leaving over 100 days to train my hatsu before the first quest fun' With a slight smile I sat down in lotus position and replayed my kill
'I was too flashy, I should have shot him from the crowd and left with a flicker step, would have been finished earlier with little risk, or even easier of loaded the task to a sniper' As I began to mix and create venoms to use for later I enjoyed the karma he gave
——————————————-
I did my research on most of the contenders so I wouldn't be surprised thankfully my first opponent was an ordinary martial artist
I jumped on the ring my opponent was a thin Italian man before he could speak I pushed him out of the ring
"Winner Karma by ring knock out 1-second finish" the announcer yelled it seems Gato used my real name. Leaving the ring it seemed it wouldn't take long to get to the 200th floor
Stretching my limbs I decide to buy some candy but am interrupted by a ping someone @me in chat sighing I leave to a nearby stairwell and hide there as I check through the chat
The highest I'll go is 150 million but you will need to wait around a month for the 50 mil
(trade request:
Head of Gorgon of petrification; for; 100 M Zeni )
A/N
Quickly I press N and send a message
—————————————
After having Gato send me my money in cash I did the trade and experimented with avatarazation, weird it looks like all perks are restricted by the worlds own laws. Even this legendary perk is only a strange application of Nen.
Stranger yet was s-ranker bragging she used the trade function to cheat a historical ruin allowing her entry without destroying the head and activating all the traps. So basically I paid her so I could Exorise a curse for her. 'Scum'
'No I can't blame her for my ignorance information is king'
So I can either create an independent life form with one life with absolute loyalty to me or a Nen beast with infinite lives the only real difference seems to be quality of power and Nen
For example, I know for a fact if I were to use this stone head and a living sacrifice of an innocent virgin girl the resulting creation would have at minimum two hatsus. And the raw Nen that would dwarf my own but in the end that's not MY power
'In the end, I should keep this artifact alone until I figure out better combinations and have more data here I won't create any avatars at least until I've mastered my hatsu that should be fair' People occasionally passed the young boy yet not one could seemed to notice his presence as he sat on the floor
Until the girl in pink appeared interrupting his thoughts as she looked right at him, she had blond hair and radiated an undeniable hidden threat 'Dangerous' was all I could think as I jumped up and ran
The girl then spoke "Stay right here wing" She was intrigued this child seemed promising so she reached out to stop him. Only for him to disappear? Did she just lose track of a child
Quickly releasing her En she found the boy.
A small untraceable dust entered her nose
'Too quick'
"Explain who you are or I kill him" the child spoke as he held the unconscious wing by the hair with razor-sharp nails to his jugular
Raising her hands she spoke "I meant no harm I didn't know you were a zoyldck, I am Bisky Kruger a one-star hunter can you please release my student It's just a misunderstanding "She began to walk forward only to freeze
" do I look that easy?" blood dripped from my fingers and a cold killing intent filled the stairway some spectators stayed some ran. No doubt security was on its way
"I will tell you what to do, and if you do it the boy can live otherwise I'm confident I can escape even in this situation" As he bluffed he felt puzzled inside the poison he had Biskey inhale in there short scuffle still had no effect
"Speak" Bisky was no longer amused.
"You will run to the 20th floor when you're there I will release him then you may return, next time you try whatever you were doing I won't let it go" Although Karma Zoyldck spoke calmly he was inwardly going through all possible escapes
Biskey looked around before jumping up the stairs well passing spectators and the mob 'good next step was threaten with the unique venom I've concocted, so what if the girl is immune her brother here sure isn't' putting down the kid I ran downstairs
'Honestly if that kid wasn't so off-guard and relaxed he would have beaten me in a fair fight I really do need my nen back loosing to "1 star hunters" I lost to a lying little girl and barely escaped I need to train harder.
hiding in with the crowd I easily escaped and found Gato, I should be safe now Gato is an elite for a reason. I haven't seen him go all out before he must have some overpowered hatsu if Silva thought for him to follow me.
——————————————-
Bisky POV
'What a terrifying child, he mocked me by only using martial arts and assassination techniques? He had near-perfect zetsu mastery and the way he enhanced his fingers couldn't not have been nen. Yet he didn't use his hatsu or even any real nen behind his attacks?' Bisky entered her private room with the child on her shoulder.
Placing him on the bed she began to use her nen ability.
'he was a zoyldck maybe his goal was for me to underestimate him? so I wouldn't use my true form then he immediately went for my weakness. He revealed his poison skills to stop me from going for him later… was he saying if I came for him he could kill my student whenever he wanted? What because I'm a hunter' Biskey seemed truly anxious
"All I know for sure is in the .2 seconds I wasn't looking he incapacitated Wing, that is his hatsu instant sleep?" finally noticing Wing was waking up Biskey schooled her expression
'He might be like me using a nen ability to hide his age, yes this is the most likely scenario how scary'
"What was your mistake?" Biskey spoke
"to be honest I could barely react in time, I should have been more cautious teacher" Wing spoke seemingly guilty
"Correct so double the training starting today" Biskey expected the usual laziness yet today Wing offered no complaints.
"Also we need to build up your poison resistance" she spoke after some thought
At this Wing finally panicked "wait what uh I don't really think that's necessary what does that have to do with anything" he tried to find excuses but his opinion wouldn't matter
——————————————————
Finally, as she looked through several news sites not one instant of karma being a zoyldck appeared despite all the bystanders confirming for her that he was likely some sort of zoyldck secret weapon.
"Master what should I do if I see him again outside the ring?" Wing asked innocently
"Run, surrender beg but by all means don't fight him you are no match" Bisky spoke with no humor 'If I can I will avoid him'
