"BEGIN!!!"

In the arena two people could be seen facing each other, a 1.95 meters tall overweight man with a tortoise tattoo over his naked upper half though he didn't seem relaxed, he seemed quite tense and even a bit scared.

After the commentators announced the start of the match, he instantly used his ability as a dark green shield with a radius of 1 meter appeared connected to his left arm though none of the audience could see it except for a few Nen-users.

Though his opponent didn't move from his place, he simply continued to observe intently with a thoughtful expression as if seeking to solver the mysteries of the entire world, he was however just thinking of what kind of experiment he should do.

With a height of 1.43 wearing a black sleeveless shirt and black pants and black combat boots, dark hair that went along with his black eyes.

A smile putting more color on his pale face as he started walking towards his opponent with a few words coming out of his mouth.

"A defensive type Hatsu huh, it couldn't be that simple now, could it? Let me guess, your ability reflects a part of the damage inflicted on it or reflects all of the damage once a certain condition is met...." Tranquil words.

There didn't seem to be any change in the opponent's expression yet a hint of amusement appeared in the boy's eyes as if he got the answer he wanted.

"So I'm right or at least my guess is close..." And with that, he started running and before his opponent noticed, he appeared behind him as a purple line emerged all around his arms.

His hands blurred as he appeared to be attacking yet leaving no damage on opponents except beautiful exquisite purple lines. The opponent named Araki reacted not long after as he turned around while swinging his right arm yet it hit nothing only for the boy to appear behind him continuing to paint his opponent with purple lines all over him, by the third second the boy retreated back with a smile hanging on his face.

Yet a wide grin surfaced on araki's face as he laughed weirdly while letting out a sigh of relief, "Hehehehe you fell into my trap! my ability isn't that simple."

Directly after which, the green shield enveloped him completely.

seconds passed... Then a startled look surfaced on araki's face as the purple lines started fading away leaving no damage behind.

His eyes widened in confusion as he looked at the boy in front of him and howled in fear and pure stupefaction.

"How!!! Your ability is supposed to do damage once 5 seconds passed just like all your previous matches!!!" Panic could clearly be noticed in his voice.

....

- Yasuo Zoldyck POV -

I kept observing the green shield enveloping him without answering, assuming his ability is that simple is a mistake that I won't make, that's why I had to test it while also experimenting with my ability.

There is something I wondered, what happens if I set the multiplier as zero and here is my answer, all damage multiplied by zero equals zero.

(Hatsu -Violet Rose- : M=0, T=5)

My ability is just that interesting. Eventhough I made it, I'm still exploring its ifinire depths and numerous possibilities.

Then I noticed the shield enveloping him disappearing slowly only for it to appear attached to his hand, and this is my chance.

'Hatsu -Violet Rose- : M=7, T=5'

Considering how slow he is, I didn't need to put too much effort into fulfilling the condition of my hatsu as I fell back by the third second and that's after I took my time experimenting with something.

An interesting experiment because I solely attacked the green shield protecting him instead of targeting his obvious weak point which his back as it's left completely defenseless.

He is nothing but a test subject so while I can extinguish his existence in less than a second, I chose against doing so, why waste valuable test subjects when they were provided to me for free?

So I continuously attacked his shield for a bit more than two seconds expect that the target I chose is him yet here I am, attacking the green shield constructed by Nen.

His Nen is a part of him so theoretically, I should be able to target him without the need to attack him directly, his large shield is enough.

From what I saw so far, his shield reflects part of the damage only if the opponent hits the shield except when the shield envelops him which according to his reaction should reflect all the damage.

But a skill like that needs to have a limitation to work, which in his case should be a cooldown. Now, even though I'm attacking his shield, the damage won't be reflected onto me, since in reality, I'm not actually attacking his shield, after all, I did set the target as the person, not the Aura.

His green Aura shield is nothing but a conduit from which damage will be transferred to him so he will simply cease to exist instantly and that's indeed what happened.

seconds...

"Wait!!!! Please stop it as you did before, I give up please!!!!" He looked scared stiff as he screamed and begged in utter fear.

However, I can't stop it, the reason it didn't deal any damage last time is because I set the multiplier as zero.

Now that I set it as seven then his death is irreversible, not that I'd want to stop it anyway. I turned around leaving as he disintegrated into nothingness...

This is my seventh win, I continued on my schedule of having a match every two months though in three matches the opponent didn't even show up which is disappointing considering it's a loss of three test subjects.

But I pretty much got all the information I want about my hatsu while also familiarizing myself with it.

Hmm, the familiar gaze I felt from the audience during the match should be illumi, father should've told him not to go above the 200th floor.

After all, if a non-nen user were to participate then they would initiate them to Nen which will likely lead to a long-term injury, so he should just be watching my match.

Suddenly my phone started ringing, I answered after checking the Id of the caller.

"Illumi, what do you need?" "can we meet in the hallway of the 200th floor?" asked Illumi with his usual emotionless voice.

"Sure" I then hanged up and headed to the destination where I found him already waiting, I stood facing him as I waited for what he has to say.

"How did you do that? I'm pretty sure your hands go through him since you leave no damage on him and I'm pretty sure that's not poison or if it was then it's not something we studied in the family." Asked illumi with confusion apparent in his eyes.

"Well, they'll teach you once you go back home, but let me show you.."

'Hatsu -Violet Rose- : M=0, T=0.5'

As purple line spread all around my arm, I swung my hand as it passed through his neck before he can react...

The timer I set was quite low and passed in the blink of an eye with Illumi simply observing the purple lines and comprehending what just happened, then the purple line on his neck disappeared.

"It's called Nen, you can do some pretty cool stuff with it..." I said as a smile appeared on my face looking at his stunned face.

I went to the elevator heading Home while leaving him with a few words, "Work hard brother, power is such a beautiful thing... I'm looking forward to what you can achieve."

His ability is one of the most interesting ones after all and if he creates the same or similar ability to what I know then it will help a lot especially for some future experiments I'm planning.
