Chapter 18: Hatsu

........

I focused and I paid attention to every movement of his, I noticed his eyes widening as sweat came down his face.

I guess no one was able to avoid his attack so far so that hit him hard since his Hatsu is quite effective against Opponents of his level or lower.

His natural counter is enhancers and defensive Hatsu, which should explain his 2 defeats. Though his attacks are useless against people like me with a higher aura pool and High proficiency in enhancement.

He started charging his Hatsu again though there is no way to increase the distance more as he reached the far edge of the ring.

Then he fired though this time I had an easier time as I noticed something, It takes him 1 second from the start of charging to firing but I noticed an irregularity, I just need a confirmation.

I started walking towards him as he started charging another shoot though this time once 0.8 seconds passed since starting his Hatsu I moved to the right before he fired the shot.

What was interesting is that even though he saw me move he still fired the shoot at my previous position even though he had the chance to change his aim a little in the span of 0.2 seconds.

A smile surfaced on my face as I continued to slowly walk towards him, I kept repeating the same process again and again leaving him helpless and horrified.

Once 0.8 seconds pass, I change my location from the place he is aiming to, and he doesn't change his aiming direction or more like he can't.

His Hatsu's condition is something like this, Once 0.8 seconds passed since the start of charging then I can't change my aim anymore until I fire.

That's not that much of a limitation since Nen users who can react in 0.2 seconds and evade before the shoot reaches them are quite rare, especially since I'm not using weights today.

....

- Miyata Nobu (Golden bullet) -

I thought it would be an easy game, after all, how strong can a kid really be? especially since I got the word of him walking around with Zetsu which basically left him defenseless.

So I naturally assumed he is inexperienced, Yet I can feel the sweat coming down my spine.

his Aura is much stronger than mine, that's why I had to retreat even though I planned to finish him without using my Hatsu.

However, even when I used my Hatsu, he managed to actually avoid it repeatedly. I focused a lot on speed in my Hatsu and no one has ever been able to evade it, Yet he has and he didn't look bothered or having a hard time doing so.

It only got worse as he was able to see through my Hatsu, the weakness of my Hatsu is its low power since I sacrificed it for speed so I had to add a condition that will limit me but add power while keeping the same speed.

The condition is that I can't change my aim for a period of 0.2 seconds after I fully charge my Hatsu, I didn't think anyone can make use of that since the time is just that small.

Yet he was able to evade my attack before he saw through my Hatsu. So now that he has an extra 0.2 second, isn't my Hatsu useless on him?

The only way to win is... Slowly a horrified expression appeared on my face as I acted hysterically and shouted, "You monster, stay away from me!!!"

He still had a smile on his face as he looked at me with amusement then said...

.......

"You monster, stay away from me!!!"

I kept walking towards him as I just looked at him with a hint of amusement in my eyes, I then said.

"Your acting is relatively bad and even if it was perfect I would still be cautious, I mean would anyone believe that someone who reached this level and has 6 wins would act so fearful and pathetic for such a minuscule thing."

His face twitched not believing how easily I saw through him though the distance between us is less than 10 meters by now which is probably enough for what he wants to do.

I was right as he directly ran towards me while bringing his index fingers together and almost instantly, a large yellow Nen sphere appeared between them as a creepy smile appeared on his face, "My Hatsu isn't that simple kid!!!"

I looked at him, the distance between us amount to about 3 meters, yet there was a smile on my face as I thought to myself.

'Having him play at the tip of my finger, predicting every action of his while leading him into doing a specific action without him even knowing it is kind of addicting, Control huh.... '

As he almost reached me and the Nen ball is a few inches away from me, time seemed to slow down, or more like, I went into My top speed.

I easily evaded his attack by moving a little bit to the left then I ducked down until my eyes became at the same level as his heart.

I adjusted the anatomy of my hands to make them sharper along with my fingernails 'Deadly snake', what followed is dark purple lines appearing all over my arms especially m hands as my fingernails became bright purple.

'Hatsu -Violet Rose- : M=6, T=5'

Then I sliced and strikes to his heart area continuously though what's strange is that my hands go through him leaving behind bright purple lines once I retract them.

It took him one full second to react and try to retreat though before he can do anything I appeared behind him and attacked every fatal area leaving purple lines all over him though no damage seems to be inflicted on him

All my attack did is leave the beautiful dark purple lines all over him.

I instantly fell back once 3 seconds have passed since activating my Hatsu, then I observed closely as this is the first time I tried my Hatsu on someone.

Though he seems confused about why I'd fall back and how my attacks went through him and the purple lines all over him, he still kept the distance between us.

4 seconds...he observed the purple line on his skin and tried to touch them though nothing happened as if they don't exist.... 5 seconds...

The purple lines started to spread all over his body and before he can even react, He disintegrated into nothingness.

"Beautiful...." I remarked in pure fascination.
