I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

Due to the Phantom Troupe stealing the counterfeit crown, Biscuit wasn't able to acquire the gemstones from it as she had hoped.

However, the preparations she had made to prove that the crown was a fake were still in motion.

With the confidence of having the genuine article in hand, Biscuit swiftly moved to prove from multiple angles that 'The End of the Monka Expedition' displayed at the Museum Exchange Conference was a fake.

Moreover, she revealed that the real crown was in Netero's possession.

As a result-

Countless media outlets, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed toward Netero.

Numerous wealthy collectors were also trying every possible method to get in touch with Netero.

If Netero could hear Moses'w thoughts right now, he would probably grab a straw, lean toward Moses' ear, and loudly shout: It's so annoying.

It was precisely because Moses had left 'The End of the Monka Expedition' with Netero for safekeeping that he had been so at ease.

Now, after hearing Menchi's reminder, Moses was actually considering whether to deal with 'The End of the Monka Expedition' first.

However, Moses had already collected the bounty on the Phantom Troupe's members he killed, and after taxes, combined with his previous earnings, his assets had reached over 4 billion. He wasn't in urgent need of money, so he is not so eager to sell the crown.

Most importantly…

Moses thought that he could let Netero keep 'The End of the Monka Expedition' and 'Libra' for free until he wanted to get rid of these two items.

Alternatively-

If Netero is willing, Moses would like to use Netero's name to sell these two items.

After all, no buyer would dare to scheme against Netero, so he should be able to sell these two items at the highest possible price.

As this thought crossed his mind, Moses suddenly had an urge to give Netero a call.

But it was just a fleeting thought.

After all, from what he knew about Netero...

If Netero agreed without hesitation, Moses would be wise to prepare for unexpected complications.

"There's no rush with the crown. As long as Chairman Netero is keeping it safe, there's nothing to worry about."

After thinking for a moment, Moses decided to temporarily set aside the matter of selling the crown, and instead focus on getting the Single-Star title.

His current target was the A-Class criminal group, the Erimo Bandit Group.

Since this criminal group has been very active in recent times, it is easy for him to find out their movements and whereabouts.

Menchi has always gone with the flow, so she will naturally follow any decision made by Moses.

What she is focusing on now is not only to improve her actual combat ability, but also to think about whether her Nen Ability could be useful in actual battles, rather than only using the Emission-Type Nen Bullets to fight.

Shizuku looked at Moyu Moses.

As an amateur Blacklist Hunter who has not yet made her official debut, even though she learned that their next target is a criminal gang on the same level as the Phantom Troupe, it didn't stir much emotion in her.

Just now, when she heard Moses's opinion on the handling of the crown, she couldn't help but think of the 'Black Widow's Tears' necklace she always carried with her.

This necklace, adorned with a teardrop-shaped black gemstone, was something she had stolen from a B-Class criminal known as Twin Wings.

It was also because of this necklace that she was able to meet Moses in that inn.

The reason why she stole the necklace from Twin Wings was simply because she thought it was very beautiful. As for how much it was worth, she had never cared about such a thing.

Perhaps because the novelty had worn off...

Shizuku found herself caring less and less about the necklace. She figured that in time, she'd likely forget about it altogether, either accidentally losing it or stashing it inside Blinky, only for it to be forgotten and disappear forever.

At this moment…

Shizuku thought that instead of keeping the 'Black Widow's Tear' necklace, she might as well give it to Moses to sell.

However, after seeing Moses temporarily decide not to deal with the crown, Shizuku also gave up on the idea of handing over the necklace to Moses to sell.

After deciding to hunt the Erimo Bandit Group, Moses was in no rush to act.

As a Hunter who liked to keep the initiative in his own hands, gathering intelligence before taking action was a basic requirement.

Moreover, he still needed to confirm the movements of the Erimo Bandit Group.

Late at night.

Moses sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind sinking into the space of his consciousness, staring at the emotion fragments that represented illusionary attribute.

Currently, he has the ability materials of [Memory Capacity +2] and [Vow Effect +1], as well as the illusionary attribute emotion fragment as the foundation. It is actually not difficult to develop a new ability.

But the problem is that in order to make the developed ability as close to his expectations as possible, everything must be planned in advance and then each step must be carefully constructed.

Otherwise, if the developed capabilities do not meet expectations, it will only waste his own potential.

'The prerequisite for activating the illusionary attribute is to parasitize the target with black tendrils. But if I want to develop an ability similar to Kyoka Suigetsu, even with the support of Vow Effect +1, this activation condition alone is not enough."

'In order to increase the depth and strength of the ability, it is necessary to set strict limitations on the activation conditions.'

'Just like Chrollo's Bandit's Secret, there are so many limitations imposed. On one hand, it is to create the ability to plunder other people's abilities, and on the other hand, it is to be able to use the plundered abilities seamlessly.'

'If I really want to embed the illusionary attribute into my black blade, how should I set the limitations...'

Moses pondered deeply.

In addition to the condition of 'parasitizing black tendrils', he was considering adding one or two more activation requirements.

For instance, after the black tendrils successfully parasitize the target, a certain amount of time would be needed for the tendrils to grow so that the ability can be completely activated.

On top of this triggering condition, he can also set up the conditions such as causing the target's emotions to fluctuate violently, thereby accelerating the growth rate of tendrils.

Or he could use a secondary parasitism method to speed up the activation of the ability.

Moses even considered working with the target's shadow, but such a condition seemed too lenient to serve as an effective limitation for the ability's structure.

Aside from 'activation time' and 'growth acceleration' conditions, Moses also thought about incorporating a way to break the ability.

For example, he could design it so that the target, once caught by Kyoka Suigetsu Ability, one can break free by closing their Aura Nodes and entered the state of Zetsu to make the parasitic black tendrils in their body disappear, thereby directly removing the Kyoka Suigetsu Ability.

Normally, as long as such information is not leaked, Nen Users will not easily enter the Zetsu state in the middle of a fierce battle.

And this weakening condition should be able to greatly enhance the strength of the ability itself.

After all, the method of removing the ability is too simple, and compared with the difficulty of achieving the conditions, it can basically be exchanged for a very powerful Vow Effect.
