"Since that's the case, hurry up and get in... Uh."
Begel suddenly realized something was wrong.
The fat man's build was simply too large, and the space in the Jeep he was driving was limited; the fat man alone completely filled the back seat.
"It's fine, I'll just sit here."
The girl waved her hand indifferently, seemingly already used to it.
She lightly leaped and jumped onto the roof of the car, sitting on the edge of the roof and swinging her legs.
The fat man, meanwhile, climbed into the back seat on his own, completely occupying the entire rear space.
"Let me grab the packages."
Kevin said, jumping out of the car and quickly returning with several packages from the nearby security booth.
"More materials?"
Begel asked.
Kevin nodded; besides purchasing these materials, he had nothing else to buy.
The vehicle started and drove back into the depths of the protected area along the road.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Begel Carpenberg, and I am a Conservation Hunter."
"I know, you are the famous One-Star Hunter who helped 1361 endangered species recover their populations."
Menchi often talks about you; my name is Buhara, I am a Gourmet Hunter, and also Menchi's partner."
Buhara said, chuckling.
Kevin looked at Begel beside him with some surprise, lightly nudging him with his elbow: "Impressive, I didn't know about this."
Begel just smiled and didn't pay it much mind.
Kevin turned his head and continued, "My name is Kevin, Kevin Carpenberg, and I am a future Hunter."
"What do you mean by future Hunter?"
Menchi on the roof propped herself up on the edge of the roof with both hands, leaning her upper body down to ask.
Buhara also leaned his head over curiously.
Only Begel, who was driving, had a helpless expression.
"It means someone who will become a Hunter in the future."
Kevin explained.
"..."
The car instantly fell silent.
"Are you crazy!"
Menchi on the roof shouted, shrinking her upper body back, feeling annoyed that she had been so curious just now.
She felt truly tricked.
"You haven't become a Hunter yet?"
Buhara asked curiously.
Kevin shook his head: "Not yet, I plan to take the Hunter Exam this year."
"That's not easy, you know. Do you think you can do it?"
Menchi's upper body suddenly leaned down again from above the passenger seat.
Kevin waved his hand: "I'll do my best. I think there's a pretty good chance I'll succeed."
If he didn't pass the exam, Kevin couldn't imagine how loudly Bisky would scold him, saying he disgraced his teacher's lineage.
After all, he had asked Yun Gu.
The exam itself was meant to test excellent individuals, mostly people who didn't know Nen.
For those who knew Nen, the difficulty of participating would sharply decrease; unless they encountered difficult examiners or accidents, they would almost certainly pass.
Begel, who was driving, nodded; he felt that as long as no accidents occurred, Kevin passing the exam should not be a problem.
Seeing Begel's reaction, Menchi reached down from above: "My name is Menchi, I am a Gourmet Hunter."
Kevin reached up and shook her hand.
It seemed the only ones who knew each other were Begel and Menchi.
"Begel guided me for a period after I became a Hunter."
Menchi said.
"Oh, I see, that's the hidden training system, right?"
Kevin looked at Begel and asked.
He had heard about this from Yun Gu.
Begel nodded: "At that time, I received a request from the Association to teach her Nen Ability."
These words seemed to stir some memories for Menchi; she suddenly gritted her teeth and glared at Begel, grinding her teeth.
Begel didn't even need to look to know what she was doing, saying to himself, "At that time, I was doing conservation work in the Kakin Empire's nature reserve, and Menchi was poaching in another reserve and was caught red-handed by me."
"Nonsense! I wasn't poaching at all, I entered legally with a permit! And I only hunted a highly dangerous rare species, not an endangered one!"
In many wild forests, there are quite a few highly dangerous creatures.
The number of these types of creatures is not large to begin with, and new species are constantly being born.
Most of the time, it is difficult for people to judge their rarity, and Hunters have the authority to kill dangerous creatures.
Even the governments and officials in many places will commission Hunters to clear out creatures that may cause casualties among the public.
How to put it, the natural areas of this world occupy a very large area, and cities are basically located in the center of these natural areas.
Perhaps because of Nen, perhaps because of the Dark Continent, there are countless strange and dangerous creatures in this world.
"As a Gourmet Hunter, I naturally consume the prey I capture. This is part of the natural law, and I don't kill indiscriminately."
Menchi clearly had her own philosophy of action.
Hunting was only for eating, and a person's appetite is limited, which is itself a part of the natural food chain.
Begel did not retort, only complaining, "You Gourmet Hunters are all like this."
Clearly, he had encountered more than one who lacked strength.
Gourmet Hunters seemed to be quite numerous among the entire Hunter community.
"You understand Nen?"
Buhara asked Kevin curiously.
After all, in his opinion, the Nen around Kevin was gathering and dispersing upwards like that of an ordinary person.
"I understand."
Kevin said, then realized, and waved his hand above his head twice.
"You mean this? This is a disguise."
Saying that, Kevin dispelled the disguise, the illusion of Nen dispersing upwards disappeared, and all the Nen re-wrapped around him (Ten).
"How sneaky!"
Menchi leaned her head down again and said.
Buhara was also somewhat puzzled and asked, "Maintaining this disguise constantly, won't it cause your body's energy to drain?"
The essence of Ten is to prevent the Nen that naturally emanates from the body from being lost, locking the Nen within the body.
Only in this way can one ensure a strong body, immunity to illness, and longevity.
If one constantly maintains the state of Nen loss like ordinary people, in the long run, it is extremely harmful to a Nen User.
Then what is the meaning of learning Nen?
In this way, one cannot grow or train, or rather, the effect will be greatly reduced.
"This is just an illusion; I'm just making the Nen form a shape that looks like it's dispersing above my head. In reality, it still maintains the effect of Ten."
Kevin explained.
With his control over Nen Ability, achieving this was not difficult.
"Eh?!"
The two couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
They had never thought that such a thing could be done.
Begel was driving, and he too had been amazed by Kevin's control ability.
At least, even now, he himself couldn't maintain it for such a long time like Kevin, let alone turn it into something close to instinct.
That requires a high degree of focused attention.
If you maintain such behavior daily, then don't even think about doing other things.
One can only say that he is indeed someone Jin took notice of.
"You can operate like this?"
Menchi was extremely surprised; she had never seen anyone control Nen so easily.
"It's very simple."
Kevin said, extending both hands and his index fingers, and in the space between the two index fingers, as the Nen gathered, it transformed into various shapes.
Hearts, little bears, houses, and even airships.
Menchi, who had become a Hunter less than a year ago, was momentarily speechless.
And Buhara had only become a Hunter one year earlier than Menchi and likewise could not achieve this level.
Begel understood in his heart that compared to Kevin's previous disguise technique, this technique was much simpler and could be mastered with a little training.
"Begel, why didn't you teach me this trick!"
At some point, Menchi had leaned her head out from the driver's side again.
"Idiot, he's not my disciple!"
Begel scolded her with a laugh.
"Eh? He's not?"
Menchi had always thought Kevin was Begel's disciple.
"Of course not, he's under Bisky."
"Is that the Two-Star Gem Hunter Bisky?"
Buhara asked.
He had become a Hunter last year and knew more about the Hunter Association's information.
Begel nodded.
"Is she very famous?"
Kevin asked curiously.
"Of course!"
Menchi leaned over from Kevin's side again.
"Are you a somersaulting mole?"
Kevin couldn't help but complain.
"It is said that many people have received her teaching and guidance, and everyone says she is like a mother."
Hearing such an evaluation, Kevin felt the same way and nodded in agreement: "That is indeed the case."
