Conrad moved back and forth to stop Hisoka from attacking him endlessly.
He was having a hard time trying to adjust the combat speed of Hisoka. But he was not shocked.
Compared to his experience against NEN users, Hisoka was a beast; every action and every attack he performed had another type of reason.
Conrad was already using Gyo and focused on understanding what he was doing with the Bungee Gum.
It would be pretty sad if he were to get contracted with it and then hurled back and forth.
"I would not like to be in the same state as Gon when he fought Hisoka at the arena."
Hisoka slowed down for a moment, and then, Conrad noticed, a bungee gum detached from his feet, and then it held on to the ceiling.
"What is this…" he thought, then with a huge amount of speed and cards in his hands, Hisoka launched himself.
Conrad vanished from where he was by using Blink and then manifested on the twenty-meter left.
As he turned to look at Hisoka, he saw that if he were half a second late, his head would be separated.
"My ability can only simulate the combat capabilities of my target according to what I know."
"This means that their strategic abilities are not that great, as they are not themselves at the very limit, and their use of the environment, devising new techniques that one can do in a real battle, is pretty weak."
"Which means that, if that was a real Hisoka, he would find a better way to launch himself towards me, and most likely, I would be killed."
Conrad let out a cold breath and smirked.
"But of course, I am slow too due to the fact that I know this is a simulation and not a real life and death battle."
With these new thoughts and understanding on his ability, Conrad, this time, took the offense. Orbs manifested and spread around while Conrad tried to find a way to hurt Hisoka.
An opening is what he needs.
"Yeah..."
"With the speed and battle experience of Hisoka, his eyes always on the orbs, I have no chance to hit him with the With Death in the midst of a combat."
"I expected something like this but still…"
Hisoka used bungee gum to hurl himself back and forth and kept moving while trying to find a way to get close to Conrad to deal fatal damage.
Due to ability itself, strategic capabilities were Hisoka's at the most, %10 to %15.
The simulation Hisoka only targeted killing the target in one hit and as quickly as possible.
A real Hisoka would think about distractions, cutting limbs to gain advantage, and finding the smallest possible execution to deal with the enemy.
Conrad knew from what he is experiencing right now by evading and counter-attacking Hisoka that if he were to fight against the real deal, ten to fifteen seconds, or maybe with more of a defensive approach, thirty seconds is all he can do to stand against Hisoka.
"I made a great decision creating this ability."
"After this period of simulation ends, I will add more conditions or limitations to make the simulated target more realistic and powerful."
"I have time."
With these thoughts, Conrad focused on the battle and kept on devising new plans and trainings.
From what he can see, he does not have any chance to get close to Hisoka without accepting that he may die.
Which meant that, in this period of one-hour simulation, he had no chance to kill Hisoka.
"I should focus on understanding the angles and sense of battle."
"In the end, Sleeping Beast, my ability was created for this sole reason."
-
One hour later, Conrad opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
He looked around for a moment and activated his en to check if everything was fine and then smiled.
"In the end, I did not die because of my evading style and due to limited attacks of Hisoka, but I was not able to kill him even after using everything I have."
"This means that I still lack lethality and the ability to create new strategies while fighting."
"I need to focus on those…"
Conrad then closed his eyes for a moment and whispered.
"Sleeping Beast can be used only one time per day…" With these words, something more, like a powerful, calm energy, washed over him.
By placing one day per one hour of use, the power and the capabilities of the Sleeping Beast were increased.
Then he added.
"The time spent with the target increases the capability of the simulation of those targets."
"If I can fight with the target in real time, the capability increases even more." These two conditions and add-ons are the ability for the future.
There will be a chance that he will encounter enemies and people that he would like to fight again.
This condition makes it so that when he trains with them or fights them for some time, he will still have a chance to fight them again in a simulated environment to think of new plans to take care of the enemy.
