Keep on living just the way you are
The place where you can train to kick Hisoka's ass and make some money on the side...
That's Heavens Arena.
You got through the Testing Gate back at my place, right?
Then...
All I've gotta do is... push!
I guess I've gotten quite a bit stronger.
Osu! I'm Zushi!
Master!
I'm Wing. Pleased to meet you.
Osu!
Congratulations, Master Gon and Master Killua on making it to the 100th floor!
It's not that big of a deal.
Yeah, we are aiming to go all the way to the top!
All those who reach the 100th floor are entitled to their own room!
Not only that, the prize money goes up by a lot!
Yeah, we know.
Our own room, huh?
I guess that means no more pillow fights, huh?
However... you must not let your guard down.
Naturally, the level of your opponents will be higher as you go up!
As I was saying earlier, the amenities get alot better once you've reached the 100th floor.
This drives all those who make it there to do everything they can to stay!
Some competitors will bend the rules with all kinds of nasty tricks that you wouldn't believe!
The longer they've been up at this level, the tougher they get.
You can't even compare them to those guys on the 50th floor.
Killua, is this true?
Well, yeah.
Good, that's what I was hoping for!
I was starting to worry that we'd come all the way here for nothing.
I came to train after all.
What's with these two brats?!
Don't they know Heavens Arena is the proving ground for the world's best fighters?
Who do they think they are, anyway?!
Let's take it easy.
Last time I was here, I had no trouble winning at this level.
The last time?
Yeah, when I was six.
When you were six?!
Let's go!
Yeah...
I look forward to serving you again.
So this is our room?
We're up so high! Look at the view!
Yeah.
What that woman said was true.
Getting up to the 100th from the 90th level
and then remaining there is a whole different game.
There is a wall you have to get over.
Guys who've stayed on this level for a long time
are all desperate to keep their amenities.
I know I said to take it easy, but we need to be careful.
We can't be wasting time stumbling on pathetic guys like them.
I guess you must be pretty proud of yourself, huh, kid?!
But! It's ten years too early to be on the 100th floor!
Since I've been here I've sent a hundred opponents to their graves.
So I hope you already made funeral arrangements...
The winner is... Gon!
Guess I was worried for nothing.
Contestant Killua, please report to the ring for your next match.
On my way.
It took only three days for newcomers Gon and Killua to reach the 150th floor!
They're both undefeated after seven matches!
What's even more remarkable is that, so far, none of their opponents
have managed to score a single point against either of them!
How long will this good luck last?
It's not about luck, we're just better than them!
But I'm a little vexed, you know?
The first time I was here,
it took me almost two months to get up to the 150th floor, yet...
Are you listening to me, Gon?!
Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions... What?!
Killua! I've never seen a number this big in my account!
I mean, a few days ago I was pretty much broke.
Let me borrow it for a little while.
How come?
Didn't you have the same amount deposited into your account?
Yeah, but I spent it!
You spent it?! On what?
Oh. I was wondering about those since I came in.
And what are they?
Chocolate Robots.
It was on sale, so I thought I'd stock up.
Four years: two million jenny spent on chocolate...
So it was true...
He bought up all of the candy!
I think you've bought enough chocolate for now!
So give me my money back!
I said I'll give it back later.
No way!
Come on!
Don't waste your money, Killua.
Don't call Chocolate Robots a waste of money!
How's that?!
Ouch, ouch, ouch! I give up!
How do you expect to make it to the 200th floor in the shape you're in?
Hisoka's even stronger than me, you know?
Yeah, I know that. But I'm not sure what kinda training I need.
Killua... How good is Zushi?
That guy is still trying to get off the 50-somethingth floor.
I told you before, but that is his level at the moment.
Yeah, but wasn't it hard to take him down?
During our match...
He kept getting back up no matter how many times I hit him.
So I got little ticked off.
Finally, I hit him with some serious force.
Damn you!
Oh man.
Now I've done it.
Critical hit! Ten points total!
Killua wins by a TKO!
That was beyond the level of what one could manage with willpower.
Maybe it has something to do with Ren, y'know, that thing Wing mentioned.
Yeah...
Ren, huh?
Do you think it's some name for a technique?
I don't know.
But as we move up to the higher floors, we'll probably face more people like that.
Maybe we'll find out if we fight them.
Then wouldn't it be faster if we just go find Zushi and ask him?
Oh yeah!
Ren is one of the four exercises.
And the four exercises are fundamental to all martial arts,
to instill discipline and develop character.
Learn Ten, know Zetsu, and through Ren attain Hatsu!
That's how you train for Nen!
Now you know!
Nen?
What's Nen?
That doesn't make any sense!
It doesn't?
Then I'll try explaining it again. Listen carefully.
Ren is one of the four exercises.
And the four exercises...
Zushi!
When in the world did you master things enough to teach them to others?
I'm so sorry, Master.
Gon, Killua...
There's an old cautionary proverb warning
that a smattering of knowledge may leave you wallowing in greater ignorance.
Similar to a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, right?
But I wanna know about this Nen stuff right now.
Even if you don't tell us, I'll find out without fail.
But I don't wanna get stuck wallowing around in ignorance.
So if you agree to teach me,
I won't be forced to go and learn what it is by myself.
And I wanna know too. Killua and I both came here to train.
Osu!
I understand. Please follow me.
Nen (flame) is the power that inflames our spirits,
in other words, the strength of our will.
The training to attain Nen is comprised of four processes.
We call them the "Four Exercises."
And they are Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and finally Hatsu.
Now for the specifics...
First for Ten, which focuses the mind,
concentrate on your inner-self and define your goal.
Following that, in Zetsu, you put that goal into words.
Ren intensifies and heightens your will.
And Hatsu puts it into action.
Zushi's Ren, or his will to win, was what intimidated you, Killua.
Actions speak louder than wrods. Allow me to demonstrate it for you.
Killua, will you please stand up?
My mind will be filled with thoughts of killing you... is that okay?
Sure, fine... You won't be able to anyway.
I'll do it in the proper order. First, Ten.
Now, Zetsu.
You can say it out loud or to yourself, it doesn't matter.
I am going to...
...kill you.
So, that was Ren.
With enough strength and focus, your will (Ren) becomes action (Hatsu).
This is how you can intimidate others.
You can make your opponent retreat without moving if you have a strong will.
However, Ren can often lead to obstinacy
and one might lose the flexibility to correct their wrong ideas.
Therefore one should refrain from its use before one's spirit has been perfected.
You two and Zushi should be training your spirits
and nurturing them for a while.
If you want to learn Nen,
you must dedicate yourselves to mastering Ten for now.
Once you've managed to do that, you won't be overwhelmed by the wills of others.
Thank you very much!
Osu!
Zushi, it's okay now.
Osu.
Now Zushi, let's start today's exercise.
Osu!
As always, start with Ten.
Master Wing is really amazing.
Zushi's so lucky to have such a master.
But what he told us earlier, that was a lie.
A lie?
What he said sounded right.
And the demonstration of his power was very real.
But it still doesn't explain Zushi's toughness.
There's gotta be more to it.
Did you see the look on Zushi's face when Wing was teaching us?
He's in on it.
Now that you mention it...
But why would he tell us such a lie?
Because this Nen thing must be something very dangerous...
Before we leave Heavens Arena,
we're gonna have to figure out what Nen really is!
What's wrong, Zushi? Your Ten is agitated.
Master, why did you lie to Gon and Killua?
Lie? Do you mean the explanation I gave to them?
That's right.
The actual characters are...
Ten! Zetsu! Ren! And Hatsu!
And they have completely different meanings.
Did you lie to them because they aren't your students?
I wasn't lying.
"Nen," the flame, is a genuine discipline needed to train your inner-self...
...to use the real Nen (mind force).
True, I would never teach Nen to someone who wasn't one of my students.
That's why I teach "Nen" through lies.
The real Nen can be a dangerous weapon if put into the wrong hands.
For example...
You can transform a piece of paper into a deadly blade.
Or you can protect yourself by making your body as hard as steel.
Anyone who disciplines themselves can master it.
That's more the reason why one must chose who to teach it to.
Master...
That's my book and I haven't read it yet.
And that was my can of juice too!
Oh! I'm sorry.
This is unbelievable!
Gon and Killua have both cleared the 190th floor within a week
and without getting a scratch!
It does bug me a little after all.
It took me two years to get to the 200th floor.
On the other hand, you...
Come on, Killua, you were only six years old at the time, right?!
I know, but still...
It's here.
Anyone going up?
Yo!
Hello.
Killua and Gon have made it to the 200th floor already?
Yeah! I told you they're incredible!
Master?
I have no choice.
I wonder what the 200th floor's like!
I don't know.
When I got this far last time I didn't bother to register,
I just left and went back home.
Excuses me, Miss...
What is it like up...
I don't know.
Miss?
I said I don't know.
So you don't know? How useless.
Killua.
This place is really going downhill.
They don't even bother training their employees anymore!
Hey, Killua!
If they can't, they could have at least made a better choice on the looks...
Come on, Killua!
You god damn brats!
I shouldn't have underestimated Heavens Arena.
No.
Do you feel that, Gon?
Yeah. This feeling is...
It was worth coming to the 200th floor.
Someone down this hallway is using Nen.
What now?
We have no choice but to go.
If Wing is not teaching us real Nen, we'll just have to figure it out for ourselves.
Come on, let's do this!
No... I can't move... I don't wanna go any further.
Hey! We know you're there, why don't you come out and face us?!
You must be Master Gon and Master Killua.
The reception desk is right over there.
You have until the end of the day to register for your matches.
Please be aware that once it's past midnight, you'll no longer be allowed to register.
Oh, one more thing, from this floor up, weapons are allowed in the matches.
So if you have any... feel free to use them.
This energy... Is it coming from her?
I can't tell.
You should also know that at this level, prize money is no longer awarded if you win.
Here you fight only for honor. I hope I've made myself sufficiently clear.
Hisoka!
What are you doing here?!
"What am I doing here?" Such an expected reaction.
Here's my answer... I came here because the cards told me to.
They told me that our fates were intertwined.
Just kidding.
Of course it wasn't fate. I planned the whole thing.
You used the internet to purchase your airship tickets, didn't you?
It's easy to search that thing and find out who is going to be when and where.
After that, I boarded my private airship and arrived here and waited for you.
It wasn't hard to tell you'd be coming here.
So you're stalking us?!
Don't be silly.
I'm a regular tenant here on the 200th floor,
and have been for a long time now.
So, as someone who knows his way around here, let me give you a little piece of advice.
It's too early for you to step on this floor... turn back!
As for when you'd be ready depends on you.
Come back another time...
It's just too soon for you now.
No way, we've come this far and we're not leaving!
Can you get past me?
Stop trying to force yourselves.
You are totally unguarded against his Nen.
It's like you've wandered into the snowstorm naked
and don't understand why it's so cold.
You might die if you keep forcing your body and spirit.
Is this what Nen is?!
He can stop us by just thinking about it?!
I've decided to teach you true Nen.
So let us retreat from here for now.
But if we don't register by midnight...
what would happen to us?
Master Gon, you may start again from the first floor.
However...
"However"?
Since Master Killua did not register previously,
if he fails to do so a second time,
he will be considered as someone who lacks the necessary commitment...
And he'll be banned from competing here.
No way!
If we leave here with you for now, can we come back here within the day, by midnight?
That will depend on you.
This is Nen.
What was that bull about burning your spirit?
What kind of master are you, anyway, lying to innocent kids?
Killua, you seem to be quite passionate about learning Nen.
Any particular reason?
Because it explains the secret of my brother's power.
Your brother uses Nen?
Yeah, I'm sure he does.
Okay, I'll teach you assuming you understand the dark side to Nen as well.
Nen is the ability to control, at will, the life energy,
or what some people call aura, which flows through your body.
All living things emanate a limited amount of this aura.
However, most of it is just leaking out of you.
Ten is a technique that will help you retain that energy within your body.
By strengthening it, you gain vitality.
Zetsu is a technique for shutting off your aura.
It's best for concealing your presence and recovering from extreme exhaustion.
And Ren is a technique for generating your aura beyond ordinary amount.
Can you feel that?
Yeah, it's like pressure...
But's it's not scary or anything.
That's because I hold no threat.
Their sensitivity is astounding.
They might not know the method, but their instincts can sense it well.
Aura is life energy produced by our bodies,
which is why it's most effective when used against other human beings.
It can be used for good or for evil.
If you attack a defenseless person menacingly,
you could kill them with your aura alone.
There's only one way to protect yourself against an attack from a Nen-user...
and that is to become a Nen-user yourself.
An eye for an eye, and Nen for Nen.
Defend with Ten.
Use your aura to block the aura of your enemy.
Because if you don't...
Your body will shatter into pieces.
Into pieces...
Do you understand?
Yeah, I understand three things.
Really... what three things?
One, how powerful true Nen is.
Two, we won't be able to win without it from here on out.
And three, you are a tricky bastard!
Right.
Not yet.
It's still too soon.
We only have three hours to register.
I sure hope we can master Nen and get through the 200th floor!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Secret Trick x Register x The Battle Begins!
You ready, Killua?!
