This young boy maintains a very high level of vigilance... I don't know if it's related to his upbringing and experiences.
This is one of the reasons why Nio is interested in Hisoka.
Moreover, although Hisoka's figure is slender, the flexibility of his limbs and reaction speed are top-notch, and his overall physique is very strong...
Hisoka doesn't show it, but that doesn't mean Moritonio can't see the clues.
In fact, besides Hisoka, there's also Oboro!
Oboro's changes... are also amazing.
It's just that, from the first time he saw Hisoka, Nio had an intuition, an intuition as a Nen user, that this young boy was not simple!
And Oboro... only started to grow after arriving in Glam Gas Land... It's very intuitive and traceable.
He doesn't know who is teaching Oboro, nor does he know why Oboro suddenly transformed... At least for now, Oboro has no intention of leaving the circus.
It may also be because they live together, which makes the two boys seem to be closer on weekdays... In the case of Hisoka being unpopular, Oboro is the only troupe member willing to contact him.
Facing the leader's inquiry, Hisoka flicked out a deck of cards with a blur of his arm.
Immediately afterward, with the flick of his fingertips, the playing cards immediately flew up and down, dazzling people's eyes.
"Is it like this?"
With a whoosh.
Hisoka stopped his performance, held five playing cards between his fingers, and with a flick of his finger, the cards disappeared again.
"..."
Moritonio fell silent upon seeing this.
Obviously, he was amazed by Hisoka's skills.
"Amazing... more skilled than me, who... who did you learn from?"
"My mom, her fingers are very flexible..."
Hisoka smiled.
Oboro was unmoved... but he smelled the scent of lies on Hisoka's body...
"Very good, continue to train."
"Yes."
At this time, Abaki came up and glanced at Oboro and Hisoka, "You two..."
Then, she ignored the two of them and looked directly at Moritonio, "Leader."
"Let's go!"
Nio got up and left with the girl.
Seeing this, Oboro knew in his heart... that the leader was taking Abaki to practice Nen.
"It seems... you can finally perform on stage, congratulations."
Oboro withdrew his gaze, said coldly, and walked away.
Hisoka didn't respond, just pulled out a spade 2 from the playing cards and placed it by his mouth.
In the empty room, he let out a strange laugh.
...
Most of the members of the Moritonio Circus were taken in by the leader... including Abaki.
However, as a girl, coupled with her introverted personality, she rarely communicates with Oboro and Hisoka.
During this time, Oboro has not given up on honing his body, but now, in addition to body tempering, he has also started to practice martial arts... He is exhausted every day, can't sleep for a few hours at all, and has to rehearse when he returns to the circus. This high-intensity lifestyle makes him extremely painful.
But Oboro knows that he must grit his teeth and persevere.
If he can't even bear this bit of suffering, let alone become a strong person in the future.
Perhaps related to this kind of hard life, the smile on Oboro's face is getting less and less... and he is becoming more and more indifferent.
The only good news is... that Hisoka, the peeping tom, is gone... He followed and watched for a few days at the beginning, but later seemed to have lost interest and stopped stalking him.
This is exactly what Oboro wanted.
To be honest, Oboro breathed a sigh of relief when Hisoka wasn't around...
It didn't take long... and Hisoka's chance to go on stage came.
A member of the circus made a mistake during the performance and also injured his ankle, so... the leader personally appointed Hisoka to replace this person.
This caused the member to look at Hisoka with hatred in his eyes.
He clearly said that this small injury would heal in a few days, but judging from the leader's tone, it was clear that he was letting Hisoka replace him.
"Bastard!"
This person threw off the hat on his head, cursed at Hisoka, and left unwillingly under the comfort of his companions.
Therefore, everyone seemed to hate Hisoka, this newcomer, even more.
Hisoka himself was not affected at all. His first performance on stage was perfect and experienced... The cheers he received were even more intense than the predecessor.
...
"Leader... Could Hisoka... be connected to the Mafia... After all, he was just left on the side of the road covered in blood..."
"If Borizoi's guess is correct..."
The next day, in the room.
Moritonio was holding a goblet, pouring wine, and slowly tasting it.
In front of him, the girl Abaki was sweating profusely, clenching her fists, and was doing basic Nen training.
While controlling her Nen, she said to the leader.
"Abaki... calm down, your 'Ten' is messed up."
The leader reminded her.
Obviously, the girl was also worried about the upcoming Royal Glam Gas Land show.
This opportunity is crucial for all members.
Others care more about money and fame, but Abaki is just worried that something will happen to the circus...
She is very grateful to the leader for taking her in and teaching her Nen.
She doesn't hate Hisoka, but she is afraid that Hisoka will ruin the circus's career. After all, the circus is the leader's foundation and everyone's home.
"I can't bring myself to drive away someone who has nowhere to go."
Nio showed a kind smile upon hearing this: "Abaki... you and Hisoka are the same age, try to get along well."
"His magic tricks... are very amazing."
"..."
Abaki was stunned.
She rarely sees the leader praising a troupe member in person.
At least in terms of skill, even the few core members who entered the circus the earliest, Moritonio had never praised their abilities.
"Get along... with him?"
The girl's mind was filled with Hisoka's face.
Bang bang bang!
Under the dark night, in a dense forest.
A black figure was like a ghost, rushing madly between the tree trunks.
During the rush, this person waved his arms, and the finger pads, as hard as steel, constantly tore at the bark...
Wherever he passed, he left scratch marks on the tree trunks that looked like they had been cut by a sharp blade.
Even some smaller trees were immediately broken, making muffled sounds.
A few minutes later, the figure stopped, and the silver light scattered through the gaps in the trees illuminated his face.
It was Oboro.
He was covered in sweat, looked down at his hands, which were somewhat scratched but not seriously injured, and showed a happy smile.
Then, he turned around and glanced at the forest that he had destroyed.
"Effort pays off, I finally... entered the door..."
Thinking, he summoned the system screen and glanced at it simply.
Host: Oboro.
Age: 16 years old.
Combat Power Rank: Fighter. (Can be upgraded to: Martial Arts Fighter.)
Comprehensive Attribute Evaluation: Ordinary Person.
Skills: Iron Shirt, Diamond Finger.
Compared to the attribute values two months ago, his current panel has skyrocketed like a rocket, but he has not yet escaped the level of ordinary people. This can be seen from the combat power rank and the system's comprehensive evaluation, which are very pertinent.
Personal attributes include strength, physique, spirit, endurance, etc. These mainly determine the strength of the physical body and have little impact on combat power, because the 'combat power rank' setting, in Oboro's view, covers many aspects.
In addition to the body, there are also combat thinking, combat experience, on-the-spot reaction, ultimate skills, etc. The body is only one of them, especially combat thinking and experience, and on-the-spot reaction. In these three aspects, in his memory... the top representatives are Hisoka and Chrollo, including Illumi and Silva of the Zoldyck family.
In other words, the strength of combat power emphasizes comprehensiveness and is very particular about talent.
Of course, the physical body is the foundation of everything, because Nen, to put it bluntly... is a kind of life energy.
The stronger the flesh and blood, the stronger the Nen that can be developed.
In short, the road Oboro has to take is still very long...
However, for him at the moment, he is at least much more at ease... Having a certain level means that he has the capital to gain a foothold.
