Title: Training...
….
Karla has already learned Gyo too, she is turning it on her hands to concentrate her Aura. As she does that, she looks at me and smiles waving around her hand, but her Gyo stops working as she loses concentration. Gyo has been a little hard on her (in comparison to other techniques) as when she sees me she always seems to lose concentration.
I smile at her, as I am lying down on the ground and using SHU on a rock, thinking of it as a part of my body and reinforcing the Rock with SHU and breaking another rock with it. This is so I can train my Enhancement Category, it is right next to Transmutation in the Nen Category ring so I have an 80% in Enhancement so it would be a shame if I didn't train it. Plus it could help me make my Rock defenses stronger.
I have also thought of how to fix the shock problem when I turn my Aura into rock or such. There are two ways to fix this, make my body stronger enough so the shock from a bullet hit wouldn't bother me. I am already planning on training to have a strong body so that doesn't matter. But there is also another way, I can just simply have a cover of hard rock-like Nen armor and under it have a soft dirt-like armor which will cancel the shock of a hit from reaching my body. So I am planning to do the second one too and train my Aura into armor like that. Then my defenses will skyrocket, not even a natural Enhancer will have a strong defense as I will...
Enhancement training has also been going quite well, the goal is to be able to break one thousand rocks with just one rock. In the beginning, I could only break two rocks before mine showed signs of breaking too. But now after two hours, I can break eighty-seven rocks and my rock encased in Nen will be perfectly fine.

That night we didn't sleep at all and just trained until morning. Well, Ogre fell asleep after he was finally able to close his Aura nodes and stop his Nen from leaking away.
I look at him lying on the ground sleeping as his body is covered in sweat.
Azula is already learning Gyo too, Karla has already mastered Gyo, so she is now learning Ren, an aggressive version of Ten which raises one strength and helps during combat situations. Karla is learning Ren way easier than Gyo. I am also now not doing the rock breaking training anymore since I stopped seeing results after a while, so I decided that I will train it later again.
Currently, I am Transmuting my Aura to have both the properties of soft and hard at the same time. I have done that successfully and finally created the perfect armor that I desired. Also, I had Azula give me some tips on how to handle a knife better and how to turn my hands into claws. I learned those techniques easily since I already had a good foundation for them. It seems like I will be using my Ben's knife to attack now, as currently, I have no finishing move as an attack.
Well, I will try in the future to turn my Nen and give it the form like Gon's scissors move and turn it into a makeshift sword that has high attack potential. That should give me the versatility that I need now. As a Transmuter, I should chase after that versatility and power, that way I can get the maximum benefits out of my Nen.
While I think of the countless ideas that I have on how to train my Nen. I can't help but contemplate that now that I am free and can go wherever I want, I have let my imagination move about and thought of dozens of ways to train and develop my Nen.
I am growing faster now on the outside. I will keep chasing after my limit, I wanna see where that will lead me… I wanna see how far I can go.
An excited smile appears on my face when I think of this. I can't wait to see the different waders in this world.

One week passes in the blink of an eye as I keep training, training, and… training. I just train so much that I don't even feel the passage of time too much. We eat the food that Azula gets for us and we train, that is all that we do during this time.
So we all advance at our own paces. Karla learned three Basic Principles of Nen, she can enter Zetsu in a second. Azula surprisingly kept up with Karla's growth and mastered the basic techniques too. Though she had to train a lot more than Karla, she is in (and out) a state of Zetsu for almost two days, she finally learned how to do it correctly… that took Karla only around two hours to learn.
Honestly, the only thing Karla had a hard time learning is Gyo… and technically that is an Advanced Nen technique.
Also, Ogre was barely able to keep Ten and Zetsu, he couldn't learn Ren in a week no matter how hard he tried. I guess he really is the least talented amongst us. But that doesn't matter, because once he creates his Hatsu he can use it to train that way too. I am 90% sure that Ogre is an Enhancer, he is too simple-minded, but then again that is only Hisoka's personality test, who is to say that it isn't otherwise. What Hisoka said about personality was only an assumption.
Anyway, the one who advanced the most during this time was me. I was sleeping because of extreme exhaustion, also while developing my defense Nen, I learned Ken, which is a combination of Ren and Ten, at which I explode my Nen exclusively reinforcing my physical power, but at the same time, I contain it also. Creating a very good defensive ability, together with my <Dirt Cheap> Hatsu Ability, I now have a very strong defense and am no longer worried about bullets. And I am still only six years old.
Really, Karla is trying her hardest, but she still can't keep up with my hard work because even while I sleep, I usually do it in a state of Zetsu or something like that so I can train my Nen and help me regenerate Nen faster.
Anyway, today is the day that I have decided to see what Nen category they belong to. I just get up and as they are all training I tell them. "Ok now, we will move on to the next exercise, the one where it will show which category you should concentrate on."
They nod and immediately get up. I then bring out a glass that Azula got for us, I put a leaf on it and fill it with water.
I point at Ogre and tell him. "You go first."
He nods at me and he goes forward and uses a weak Ren to run Aura through the glass of water. Immediately the water swells up and it slightly spills over. I smile at him and say. "I see, so you are an Enhancer. Go and train your basic Nen Techniques some more and then you can come and consult me about what ability you want and I will give you some tips."
I then look at Karla and tell her. "You next, come and do the test now."
She nods and comes forwards. Honestly, she could be a Transmuter like me or even a Manipulator. But there are other categories that she could fit in, she is easy to anger, so maybe Emission? But that is stretching it a little.
In the end, she just goes towards the glass and runs Nen through it.

AUTHOR NOTE:
We see that Karla is the most talented out of them all in Nen. Though she wasn't talented in assassination techniques, she was talented in Nen. We will see what Category she and Azula are in the next chapter.
P.S: The MC has his adult concentration and will, so he can train harder than Karla whose mind is easily distracted… especially when the MC does something. Also, she technically learned things faster than the 4th Prince, but that doesn't mean that she is more talented than him, because Sub isn't holding Karla back at all. He is pushing and guiding her to grow so he can push himself harder and have his Nen respond to his feelings.
