Chapter 8: Satisfaction

...........

I'm on my way to the play area after my usual morning practice. I noticed Hassam is already standing there, as usual.

I was about to start running but I noticed him lifting his hand as a signal for me to stop which I did and paid attention to what he has to say.

"We'll start muscle control and blood flow control training. Take your shirt off, then come here and sit down," Ordered Hassam with his usual emotionless tone.

I did as he said without uttering a word. After I sat down he walked to me until he stood behind me and crouched to my level.

"I'll dislocate every part of your body starting from your shoulders, then I'll put them back in place. The cycle will continue for two hours every day until you can do the same feat by yourself.".

He explained to me as he reached out and grabbed my shoulders.

Crack!

And just like that, he easily dislocates both of them. He then continued to dislocate every finger of my hands, then to my ribs, he dislocated every joint of my body.

And across the entire process, my face didn't even twitch or flinch one bit, in fact, I hardly felt any pain.

By now this level of pain can't even faze me, my heart rate didn't even change. I closed my eyes as I tried as hard as I can to keep myself from laughing maniacally.

I'm loving this, this sense of progression, the feeling of pushing my limits, of achieving the impossible.

I want to laugh as hard as I can, but I can't, I have to suppress my emotions, there'll be a time for that later. For now, the satisfaction I'm feeling is enough for me.

"You have 5 minutes, try moving using your muscles, I'll reattach your joints after."

I started trying to stand up though I found it to be quite hard but all the control training I did wasn't for naught, I succeeded and started walking around.

So far I'm able to move around albeit slowly. 'Hmm, this is a very good training method, if I can do my usual daily routine relying solely on my muscle then my control over my body will reach an insane level.'

I put more effort into moving around and moving my arms though it's still quite hard. It'll take me a while to get used to it.

"ok, sit don, I'll relocate your bones and continue the cycle for the next 2 hours," I made sure to concentrate on every action he makes and use my whole sense to absorb how every joint of my body gets dislocated and relocated, I'm making full use of my good memory.

I still haven't tried but I'm sure I can dislocate my bones by myself, I'm pretty sure I got the basics right.

I guess what's next is doing the same feat without using my arms, I think I need to flex my muscles in a certain pattern, but for that, I need more control over my muscles. it shouldn't take long.

"For the next three years, we'll focus on armed and unarmed combat while you'll still continue the usual training.

I will teach you everything I know, and I'll continue to increase the poison dose, the voltage, and the weights as you progress.

We'll especially focus on a few primary techniques such as The Snake Awakens where you whip your arms with incredible fluidity and speed, cleaving anything that comes in contact with them.

And claw, One of the several assassination arts consists in adjusting the anatomy of the hand; the fingernails turn into claws that are sharper than knives." Hassam started explaining while also performing the techniques in front of me.

"You'll learn everything from every field and then you'll get to choose your specialty. Also at the end of every week, we'll have a spar and practice tailing training in the forest near the testing gate. A servant will deliver the new schedule to your room," He said as he turned around and started leaving.

I finished my training for the day after the electrocution torture, then I had dinner and headed to my room.

Crack!

Just as I thought, I can dislocate my bones by myself, it took me just about half an hour to get it perfectly right.

I'm now standing purely relying on my muscles and trying to move as comfortably as I can.

I need much more control to do it as Killua does, he can dislodge his joints at will in less than a second.

He demonstrated this ability by dislocating his shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers to free himself from Machi's strings.

I already know what my specialty will be, so I need to think more about my Hatsu, if I ended up being a manipulator it'll be much harder to create my hatsu if it is even possible.

So I'll probably have to make a few adjustments, I think the best way to think of manipulation is you can control basically anything as long as a condition can be set.

Just like conjuration, it's only limited by your imagination and the amount of conditions you are willing to apply to make your manipulation stronger.

You could say manipulation and conjuration are basically the same thing, except one focuses on making the properties of the object while the other attempts to change or manipulate it.

It'll be perfect if I ended up being a specialist, though that'll also come with a weakness, a low compatibility in a Nen type I need.

Though kurapika can make his compatibility 100% by using emperor time but the price is quite hefty, his life force.

I obviously won't sacrifice my life span though I don't think I need to, after all, he gets 100% compatibility in every Nen type, but I only need 100% compatibility in only one Nen type so what I'll have to sacrifice will be much lower.

Also, I want my Hatsu to be as unrestricted as possible, with little to no limitations, something like Meruem's Aura Synthesis, but for that, I need a vast amount of Aura.
