28 Nen (1/2)

”Nen is the ability to freely manipulate aura. Everyone has aura but not everyone can manipulate it. Nen can be awakened in two ways through careful meditation or through force.” Kuo said.

”Naturally the method we are going to use is meditation.” Kuo continued, ”Using force is extremely dangerous and I don't want to accidentally injure you.”

Yuuki sat down cross-legged and began to focus. She tried to imagine all of the nodes in her body, soon she could feel them. She saw white flame like energy flowing throughout her body. Her aura.

She directed the aura to the first node and began to circulate the aura inside it. As she did this she felt a small pain in her body like a needle prick and the node slowly became unblocked and fully opened.

Yuuki began to feel her energy diminish very slowly as her aura flowed out of the open node. She began to try to close the node, stopping the aura from escaping her body. She soon closed it and the flow stopped.

That's pretty amazing, with this talent it should only take her about a week to open all of her nodes through meditation, Kuo thought.

”Wow, she's learning that really fast. It took Mio almost a week to open her first aura node.” Mio said.

”Let's leave her for a little while, then we will come back and get her to start again tomorrow,” Kuo said.

Yuuki could feel the nen surrounding her body. She felt stronger and more protected than before.

”I bet you're feeling happy that you managed to awaken your nen so quickly.” A voice said from the entrance to the room.

Yuuki turned to look at them. It was Sho. Now that the aura nodes in her eyes had awoken she could see his aura surrounding him. I guess he was taught nen too, she thought. He would definitely be able to pass the hunter exam if he took it with his ability.

”You were able to open them in just a week right?” He said.

Yuuki nodded.

”Well good for you.” He said before storming off.

What was that? Yuuki asked. What is his problem? I just answered his question.

”Yuuki!” Mio yelled cheerfully before leaping at Yuuki.

Yuuki caught her.

”You're finally done, can you play with me now?” Mio asked.

”Mio, stop messing with her,” Kuo said walking into the room. ”You've opened all of your nodes now? Show me your ten then.”

Yuuki closed her eyes and focused letting her aura flow softly out of her now unblocked nodes, encasing her.
