Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

After robbing a sum of money from Cook's hideout, no subsequent troubles were caused.

Law was relieved, as it saved him from additional hassles.

Law didn't have the extra energy to find out the reason. With this money, Uvogin and the others no longer had to worry about medical bills or living expenses for a while.

Not having to scavenge for food and resources in the landfill gave Law ample time to focus on what truly mattered… training.

Since he is clearly aware of his own weaknesses, Law devoted himself to strengthening them as quickly as possible.

Law poured nearly all his time into training, and each time, he would not stop until all the Aura in his body was exhausted. This desperate way of training made his Nen Mastery improve rapidly.

Before, he could only stabilize Ten on his upper body, but now, he can stabilize Ten on his whole body, evenly distributing the Aura across every part of his body.

When it comes to controlling Aura's flow, smooth operation is a basic condition, while appropriate distribution is a more advanced skill.

Being able to freely distribute Aura to any part of the body and shorten the distribution time is a skill that every top-tier Nen Users must possess.

After over a month of intense training, Law only managed to consolidate the four basic Nen Techniques, and was only able to maintain the smooth flow of Aura.

While he could now concentrate most of his Aura on specific part of his body, he could only achieve this while being stationary and calm.

If he wanted to apply this technique in actual combat, he would still need a long period of training and familiarity.

During this month Law concentrated on his training, the recovery of Uvogin and Nobunaga's injuries progressed well.

Perhaps it was because both of them were Enhancers, under Law's guidance, after they mastered Ten, their recovery speed became even faster.

Not only have Uvogin and Nobunaga already crossed the threshold of becoming a Nen User, but Machi has also grasped the threshold. It will probably not be long before she can become a Nen User too.

During this period, Chrollo and Pakunoda occasionally visited to check on Uvogin and Nobunaga's progress.

When Chrollo saw that Uvogin and Nobunaga were already practicing the basic Nen Techniques, he realized that the time to create a team was getting closer.

However, Chrollo's idea of ​​creating a team was not implemented immediately because there was a key condition missing, that is, he believed the team's and his own strength needed further development.

Anyone who comes into contact with Nen will try every means to enhance it, and the same is true for Chrollo.

He also knew that Law had been training his Nen Techniques day and night for the past month.

Chrollo had less and less time to read recently, as most of his time was spent practicing his Nen Techniques.

When someone realize that people around them are making great progress, they don't want to fall behind.

…

Two months later.

The western edge of the landfill was a barren wasteland. The open expanse was dotted with sparse rocky formations, leaving the sandy terrain at the mercy of gusts of wind. Small dust devils swirled sporadically in the empty landscape.

Law and his companions had come here, away from the garbage in the landfill, for one purpose… to train, or as Uvogin said, 'to have a fight'.

In two months, both Uvogin and Nobunaga had fully recovered from their injuries, and achieved significant breakthroughs in their Nen Mastery. Both were now suitable sparring partners, so when Uvogin suggested this fight, Law readily agreed.

Originally, Law had planned to use them as sparring partners all along, but due to their injuries, he was not able to take the initiative to propose it. It was the best situation that Uvogin took the initiative to propose it.

Crack...crack…

Uvogin clasped his hands together and pressed them together with great force, making a crisp sound of bones cracking.

He wore a white sweatshirt on his upper body and earth-colored boxer briefs on his lower body, revealing his muscular arms and thighs, as well as slightly dense body hair.

After learning Nen, Uvogin no longer needed to wear protective clothing, so when he went outside Meteor City, he just wore his usual casual attire.

"Arm wrestling would've been boring. Let me make it clear first, Law, I won't be holding back." Uvogin grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. While there was no malice in his tone, his expression carried a faint, intimidating edge.

"If you hold back, don't blame me for being too harsh later."

Law said back as he twisted his neck and locked eyes with Uvogin.

He was genuinely looking forward to this match. After all, he had been training for two months in a grueling and monotonous way, and only a real battle could showcase his progress.

Because this was a controlled sparring match, Law wouldn't be using God Hand. This battle would test their mastery of Ten, Ren, and Aura Control in a direct confrontation.

Law and Uvogin stood a hundred meters apart, while Nobunaga and Machi stood at a distance away, becoming spectators.

"Are you ready?"

Law raised his gaze, and his Aura surged from his body like invisible tendrils, stretching toward Uvogin.

"I should be the one asking you that. Besides, you know that Aura Field is useless to me, so you'd better put it away."

Uvogin took a step forward with his right leg and made a ready posture. With a slight shift in his intent, the Aura that gushed out from the Aura Nodes in his body become stronger as he covered his body with it.

This is an advanced Nen Technique that combines Ten and Ren, Ken. The user releases more Aura than usual to cover their body, thereby forming a stronger defense and attack power.

It has only been two months since Uvogin came into contact with Nen, but he has already mastered this advanced Nen Technique. It is not only due to his talent, but also related to his Enhancement Category.

Upon hearing this, Law withdrew his Aura Field.

It is just as Uvogin said, the effect of Law withdrew his aura field on Nen Users is very low, unless infused with malice or killing intent.

Only in this way can the Aura have the desired effect.

But this was just a sparring match, so the Aura Field Law exuded naturally contained no malice or killing intent, rendering it ineffective against Uvogin.

Seeing Uvogin using Ken, Law also enveloped his entire body in a dense layer of Aura.

He and Uvogin didn't know that this technique was called Ken, and they just knew that this method worked to enhance their combat readiness.

"Here I come!"

Seeing a large amount of Aura emanating from Law, Uvogin grinned with excitement. His planted right foot pushed off the ground with a powerful stomp, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Uvogin charged straight at Law, like a rampaging bull, with no footwork or hesitation.

'Head-on, huh? Enhancer's attacks are stronger than others, but with my current strength, I should be able to withstand it. This is a good opportunity to test the results of my training.'

Law's eyes flickered, and instead of dodging or retreating, he chose to meet Uvogin head-on.

This decision made Nobunaga and Machi, who were observing, tense up. Since they are also Nen Users now, they knew that Law's choice was too reckless.

"Good!"

Seeing Law charging directly at him, Uvogin roared with excitement. This was exactly the kind of fight he wanted!

Two figures surged forward, each trailing clouds of dust behind them. The distance between them closed rapidly, and both swung their fists, aiming directly at each other.

Boom!

The moment their fists collided, a shockwave erupted, blowing up all the sand around their feet, forming a small sandstorm that poured out in all directions.

Seeing this, Nobunaga and Machi instinctively raised their arms to shield their faces. Once the sandstorm subsided, they quickly lowered their arms to assess the aftermath.

They saw Uvogin sitting on his buttocks three or four meters in front of standing Law. It was obvious that Law had the upper hand in this head-on collision.

However, Uvogin was not discouraged. He stood up and said with full fighting spirit: "Come again!"
