Overview[]

Gon and Killua are taught by Wing about the four principles of Nen. After graduating to the 200s, Gon and Killua run into Hisoka.

Summary[]

Wing teaches Gon, Killua and Zushi in his room. He explains the 4 main principles: Ten, Zetsu, Ren and Hatsu, or Focus, Express, Temper, and Act, respectively. Wing tells Killua he'll think about killing him. He demonstrates Ten by focusing his body; Zetsu by saying the words "I'll kill you"; and Ren by giving off a strong aura of an intent to kill. Because of the strong pressure, Killua jumps back, hanging on the ceiling corner of the room. Wing advises them to train with Zushi and start mastering Ten, but Killua suggests that they should leave.

Killua reveals to Gon that Wing lied to them. He admits that Wing's explanation made perfect sense and that his strength is clearly real, but it can't explain how Zushi was able to withstand his last attack with sheer willpower. Back in the room, Wing notices Zushi's Ten is unstable. Zushi then asks why Wing lied to Gon and Killua. Wing tells Zushi that the "Nen" he explained is, in fact, important for learning the real Nen, and adds that he also cannot teach the real Nen to those that are not his students. Wing rips out a page in a book, uses Nen to sharpen it, and easily slices a soda can from across the room in half. As Zushi stands in shock, Wing tells him that anyone can use Nen with enough work, so one must use caution before teaching someone how to use it.

After clearing the 190th floor, Gon and Killua advance to the 200th floor. They are stopped by a strong aura of a murderous intent which prevents them from moving forward. They barely get through it as the receptionist appears, stating that they need to register before midnight. Hisoka appears out of nowhere, in front of the two behind the receptionist, and warns them that they are not ready yet. He prevents Gon and Killua from progressing with powerful Nen. Wing appears behind them to stop them from hurting themselves and offers to teach them the real Nen. Before they leave, the receptionist informs Killua that if he isn't able to register at the given time, he will never be able to register again since he failed to register once before when he was younger. In Wing's room, Gon and Killua are finally taught the real Nen. Wing tells Gon and Killua that they must learn Nen to protect themselves from other Nen users, explaining that they must use Ten for defense. To demonstrate how destructive Nen can be to the human body, he puts his hand against one of the room's walls and suddenly damages it, leaving Gon and Killua stunned.
