"What's the matter, Young Master?"
The old butler's keen eyes immediately noticed Roy's expression,
The young man stared at the photo of the ant leg, slowly regaining his composure, and softly said, "It's nothing."
Whatever is meant to come will inevitably arrive, there's no avoiding it even if you want to... But considering Kate's current power, when facing an ant, perhaps even without Nephelpito taking action, any elite Master General stepping forth would be beyond what he can handle, moreover,
Regarding growth speed, through [Devouring], they can continuously accumulate superior genes of [humans] or [Nen users]... in terms of strength, Chimera Ants are undoubtedly far stronger than humans......
Thoughts fluttering, Roy scooped a spoonful of egg custard into his mouth, and casually asked, "Time, location."
"The other side didn't provide a specific date, but it's been confirmed to be... the NGL Autonomous Republic."
Roy's gaze flickered,
Indeed, there's no better place for ant breeding than the NGL Republic,
Not to mention, the country is known as "the most difficult nature reserve to enter," located at the western tip of the Palma Islands - Mitene Federation, with only vast ocean outside its borders, relatively sealed,
Furthermore, as the country aims to protect nature, it actively abandons mechanical civilization and returns to agricultural civilization, inadvertently providing ants with a relatively rich resource field, as to what is being "pastured," it's obvious.
Roy's mind involuntarily conjured up the faces of "Beyond" and "Pariston," hearing that the latter has re-entered the Hunter Exam, effortlessly passed, and officially became a member of the Hunter Association, even... due to his outstanding performance, he has been listed by the Hunter Association executives as a key candidate for investigation in the "Zodiac Twelve."
Roy turned to glance outside the window again, unsure... whether the old man leisurely enjoying breakfast knew this news.
"I know, wait till he confirms the time, then we'll discuss it."
"After all, I can't afford to play with them right now....."
"Ding~" At six in the morning, the red sun leapfrogged out of the horizon, shooting countless rays of light,
Accompanied by the chime of the corner clock,
The young man finished breakfast, stood up tall, spread his hands casually, gathering dots of light, as two long swords, one white and one red, slowly emerged at his sides, firmly grasped in his palms!
Upon closer inspection, they were none other than the long-dormant [Yubashiri], and the radiant [Eclipse]!
"Sing——" The sharp twin sword sings pierced the sky!
Roy flipped the two blades into his waist, and sauntered outside... Meanwhile,
"Roar——" The punch wind howled, fist strength like a dragon!
From the second-floor bedroom, the massive floor-to-ceiling window adjacent to the corridor suddenly swung open, and a brawny man leaped out!
With just a glance, he shouted toward Roy, "In the depths of Kukuroo Mountain, beside the clear spring, I'll... wait for you!"
Suddenly a buzz sounded... As [Fist Force] and [Sword Path] collided, reminiscent of Roy's first meeting with Netero, the two exchange a silent look, as the Nen vibrated between them, not yet activating [Ren], with just a clash, immediately extending into——
[Heart Drop Fist Listening] and [Heart Drop Sword Listening]!
"Ho ho ho....." Netero laughed heartily.....
"Ding ding dang dang...." Zeno sliced his steak hastily, causing his knife to slip, carving a shallow white mark on the plate......
"Creak~" In the dim little room on the first floor of the castle, an old man seemed to be dozing off, with the television beside him showing a program titled "Stubborn Son and My Resentful Father," where the father and son were grabbing each other by the neck, tumbling repeatedly in the living room... Maha tilted his head, seemingly awakened by the noise, muttering, "They still know to fight in the mountains, not ruining the house...."
His ears suddenly expanded and elongated, with a faint flow of purple-black Nen circulating on them.....
"Buzz...." The intertwining collision of [Heart Drop Fist Listening] X [Heart Drop Sword Listening] gradually diffused waves around....
Having seen Silva gaze deeply at Roy, then turn towards the depths of Kukuroo Mountain,
In the upstairs bedroom, Kijou holding Killua in her arms, pushed open the door and emerged... just in time to see Illumi following Silva into the mountain, along with, those who leisurely finished breakfast like Netero and Zeno, as the electronic eyes of the woman flickered, she cast another complex glance towards Roy's bedroom.....
The young man's head, adorned with gleaming silver hair, its ends radiating a glazed golden glow, glanced toward the direction Silva fled, then walked out of the bedroom unhurriedly.....
"Creak~" The bedroom door opened,
Tsubone adjusted the glasses perched on her nose bridge, suddenly saying, "Young Master,"
Roy's steps paused, turned back to see the old butler smile kindly, his right hand placed on his chest, as he bowed respectfully, "Please do your best."
Roy paused slightly, then immediately heard the panel prompt——
[Detected "Believer in Training" x1]
[Note: Tsubone]
The young man lifted his hand, a breeze directly helping the old butler up,
He said nothing, merely returned a slight smile, taking one last look, then leapt, instantly merging into the morning glow, speeding towards the depths of Kukuroo Mountain.....
Tsubone listened to the wind whistling, gazed out of the window for a view, as the morning glow illuminated the earth, red sun ascending, shining the sky... The old butler swung her two pink ponytail braids, grasping the window frame and murmured, "So beautiful,"
Just like the day Master defeated Master Zeno, equally beautiful.....
She followed cleaning up the messy meal cart, "glug glug" pushing it, closely following Roy's departure......
For she agreed to Kurajing's request last night, to take the sibling duo to watch the battle?
Tsubone quickened her pace, took a long look at the sky, seeing Roy darting through the morning glow, occasionally leveraging onto the ethereal little sword, drifting, soon disappearing from sight,
