Chapter 26 Meeting Again
However, Eligi was unwilling to give up such a rare opportunity. Learning to recite was secondary; the main thing was to be able to get involved with the Shingenryu people.
In the future, establishing a village or a base might reduce a lot of trouble.
That's right, Ailiji didn't just talk about building an orphanage to take in abandoned children; he actually had that idea.
After all, with the increasing number of Nen Beasts, it's impossible to keep running around with a group of people all the time; that would make them too conspicuous. A base is indeed needed as a foundation.
Ideally, it would be a place like Greed Island, where no one would disturb the island's interior, while a base would be established on the outside.
These are some of Ailig's immature ideas!
Thinking of this, Ailiji hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's too expensive. I can only accept a price of 1.2 billion, and you also have to guarantee that all seven of us will reach the 200th floor before you pay this amount. Otherwise, I don't know where I'll get so much money to pay you."
Bisky put her hands on her hips, thinking to herself that this kid was actually trying to get something for nothing; how cunning. But since they were both Nen users, a little guidance wouldn't be too difficult for him to reach the 200th floor.
Bisky then said seriously, "1.2 billion is fine, but you have to promise me three things before I'll accept this mission."
"Three things? Sure, but let me make it clear beforehand: if it's something beyond my capabilities, I have the right to refuse." Eligi left himself an out.
Of course, it's impossible to agree to everything!
Bisky nodded in agreement, and the two parties signed a contract in duplicate, even affixing their fingerprints to it.
Right after the contract was signed, Ailiji could feel something new in his heart.
It seems this contract is not a simple written contract; there must be something in it that Eligi doesn't know about the existence of Nen effects.
Bisky put the contract away, her smile barely concealed, as if some scheme had succeeded, she laughed like a cunning fox.
Seeing that things had gone smoothly, Ailiji asked, "What were the three things?"
"I haven't thought of anything yet, I'll tell you when I do," Bisky said, putting the contract away.
This left Eligi somewhat speechless. He still hoped to finish these three things as soon as possible, otherwise he always felt like something was stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down.
"We'll begin our training in three days. Try your best to reach the hundredth floor during these three days," Bisky said before leaving the park with Yun Gu.
"1.2 billion, right? Kakashi, if you and that guy fought, who would be stronger?" Eliji couldn't help but ask. Although the two had never fought, they must have tested each other.
Kakashi, a book that had appeared in his hand seemingly out of nowhere, said casually, "I haven't fought him, so I can't give a definite answer. But his opponent is quite strong; in a real fight, I might have to use my Sharingan."
"The opponent is a two-star hunter, and a disciple of the Heart Source School. His strength follows a fierce and powerful path. If we might face him in the future, we need to be careful," Eligi warned.
However, he wasn't too worried, since Kakashi had always been sparring with a fierce man, Might Guy.
Kakashi must have his own ways of dealing with people like this.
And so, Bisky agreed to teach Elligie, for which Elligie paid a fee of 1.2 billion. The remaining 200 million was borrowed from Bisky.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
A few days later, Ailiji and his group successfully reached the 100th floor without encountering any difficulties.
After all, people who know Nen are on completely different levels from those who don't.
Simply put, people who know Nen have several times the basic physical strength of ordinary people, and with a little training, they can become boxing champions.
Since Hinata and her group were ninjas, they had basic taijutsu skills, so it wasn't difficult for them to easily climb a hundred floors and get a single room.
As for Kakashi, he's currently on the 90th floor, and I estimate he'll reach the 100th floor today.
On this day, Erigi also saw Kurapika and his group, along with Gon and Killua, but he didn't see the hot-tempered Leorio.
"Where's Leorio?" Eligi asked curiously.
"Leorio is going to apply to medical school, so he can't come for the time being. He said he's waiting for his Nen mentor there. He'll definitely be on the same page as us," Gon said.
"If you're learning Nen, I've just found a very skilled teacher here. She's a master of the Heart Source School and a two-star hunter in the Hunter Association. You can ask her if she'd be willing to teach you."
Erigee intended to introduce the three to Bisky. It's just unknown whether Kurapika will still develop his reckless Nen abilities after changing mentors.
"Great! A two-star hunter? That's the same as King!" Xiao Jie said with a face full of anticipation.
Kurapika also felt that having such a mentor was indeed better than directly asking Erigi about Nen abilities.
"Yes, Kurapika, once you've learned Nen, I'll complete the previous deal. Don't rush things; learning Nen slowly is what you should be doing now. Without strength, even if you encounter someone from the Spider Clan, you'll only be throwing your life away," Erigee kindly reminded him.
Upon hearing the word "spider," Kurapika's eyes still reddened slightly, but he wasn't as agitated as before, to the point of being unable to control his emotions: "I understand."
"Let's go! My mentor just arranged to meet me today." With that, Eligi led the three of them into the arena, and finally found Bisky in a cake and coffee shop.
The arena not only houses competition venues and accommodations, but also offers plenty of places for travelers to rest and eat, although the prices are a bit high.
It's about twice as expensive as the city center!
So Eligi usually eats outside the arena, but even so, the cost of living in the city center is still very high.
Now that accommodation is available, the cost of food for the group is 30,000 to 40,000 nuns per day, which adds up to tens of millions of nuns per year. Such expenses are not low.
Earning enough to support myself for the next decade or so is an essential task.
It's possible that once the number of people increases, they will need to start their own business and have a stable source of income.
At present, all Eliji can think of is being a bodyguard and going on missions to hunt down a target, which is to go back to his old profession as a ninja.
Inside the coffee shop, Bisky glanced at Killua, Gon, and Kurapika, her gaze lingering on the handsome Kurapika for a moment before she finally spoke, "I haven't received any teaching assignments from the association. Did you receive any, Cloud Valley?"
"I received the call, but I'm only responsible for teaching one person, probably Xiao Jie. However, I plan to observe him for a while before deciding how to teach him," Yun Gu said, adjusting his glasses.
"One-on-one teaching?" Eligi was a little surprised. He had thought that since Xiao Jie and the other two were all here, Yun Gu would be in charge of teaching them.
I didn't expect the Hunter Association to be so responsible, offering one-on-one instruction.
"Can you spare me from having to confess as well? I'll try my best to meet any conditions you have," Kurapika said, bowing.
Kurapika learned from Eligi that the Spider might be active this year, and he felt a sense of pressure. He knew this was a rare opportunity, so he was eager to improve his strength and was unwilling to spend time waiting for other mentors from the Hunter Association.
