Chapter 13: Conversation

.........

I'm sitting on my bed in a meditative position with my eyes closed, though I don't need any specific position to train nen but if you believe a position helps then It'll help.

I concentrated as my aura started spreading out, around 12 meters around me, my aura expanded and starts forming in a circular shape around me, allowing me to sense any movement within, this is the advanced Nen technique called 'En'.

En is an advanced application of Ten and Ren. In Ren, aura usually envelops only a small amount of space around the user's body.

En is when one extends their Ren so that their aura extends further than normal, then uses Ten at the same time to contain and give shape to that aura, normally a sphere.

The minimum requirement is to extend one's aura to a radius of more than 2 meters and hold it longer than 1 minute.

Someone using En can feel the shape and movement of anything within the area covered by their aura, with the degree of awareness and finesse depending on their level of skill.

My control and proficiency are near perfect, what's limiting me from pushing my En further is my small aura pool, but 12 meters huh.

I already predicted that I'll have an advantage in En considering my sensorial ability but it surpassed my expectations, so I need to focus on expanding my aura pool and extend my En's radius.

I need to make my En as large as possible before creating my Hatsu and I have a lot of time for that.

Usually, my training with my father takes 2 hours while electricity resistance training takes half an hour as for the typical running, push-ups and so on, it takes up to 2 hours, so I have plenty of time.

I also need to focus on enhancement and manipulation training, my father said that my mother will be the one to teach me manipulation while he will teach me enhancement.

He also said that the plan was to send me to the heavens arena when I reach 6 years old, but they decided to postponed for another 2 years until I reach 8.

Of course, the objective will change accordingly, from reaching the 200th floor to something harder, I guess he'll decide based on my progress for the next 3 years.

"Manipulators can... manipulate things. I believe manipulation Nen is second only to specialist nen in terms of things it can do.

Their abilities are complex, but most of them are bound to an item that is significant to the Nen user.

This item is extremely dangerous. Weaker manipulators use that item as a powerful weapon. But powerful manipulators use their item as an interface to manipulate other objects, including their opponents.

Manipulators also tend to be reasonable emitters, so their items will be effective at varying ranges."

I'm paying my undivided attention to my mother who is manipulating a few dolls using her aura while explaining her point of view on the manipulation category to me.

"You'll start manipulating 3 dolls and I'll keep adding more when I think you're ready," She said as she manipulated the dolls to walk until they reach me.

I nodded as expressionless as always as I started using Ren to surround the dolls with my aura.

I then control them to stand up and move around where my aura can reach them which is unsurprisingly quite easy.

I guess 3 dolls are still a little bit far from my limit, and this got proven as she kept adding dolls.

It's not that different from the training I did for the last 5 years and my multi-tasking ability reached a frightening level thought I need to train it way more for my Hatsu.

This feeling of having absolute control over something, it's fascinating, a genuine smile surfaced on my face as I kept controlling the dolls to do various things at the same time.

Hmm, this could be a good multi-tasking training method...I was brought out of my thoughts by the following words of my mother.

"Do you think manipulation and control are the same?" That's what she asked as she looked at me with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

I genuinely thought about it while still controlling the dolls and answered, "Control is more direct and more absolute than manipulation, what do you think?" I then asked back with genuine curiosity.

"In manipulation, while you can have direct control over something, most manipulators usually take an indirect approach such as giving instruction to the manipulated object or person.

This allows us to manipulate things across a large distance without the need for our Nen to have a direct connection to them.

The same as I was doing with the dolls while you're directly controlling every action of the dolls, I noticed it in your water divination, its also related to direct control, so what's this about? " Asked Kikyo with a smile on her face.

"I don't like the feeling of losing control or more like I like the feeling of being in control, and I take what I like and what I don't like very seriously since there aren't many things I like."

I truthfully answered as I don't need to hide it and I'm pretty sure they noticed it already.

Suddenly she stood up and came closer to me with a dotting smile, she then started patting me on my head while saying.

"Good, then keep on doing things you like no matter how wrong anyone thinks it is, and don't ever let anyone force you on doing anything you don't like."

I genuinely smiled as I nodded while thinking to myself, 'That's the plan, it always was and it will always be.'

"Your father told me I'll have a hard time teaching you and he's right. You didn't make any mistake nor did you have a problem with the training, so I'll have a servant send you a box of dolls and you'll test your limits yourself.

I'll also send a box of feathers to your room as per your father's instruction, all you have to do is to enhance a feather then cut as many of them as you can, and continue to repeat the process."

I nodded, then I went back to my room while instructing a servant to send a cup of coffee to my room along the way.

'It's gonna be an interesting three years...'
