Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Ultimately, the Ripple technique that Dia learned was far less lethal than Nen.

There are countless true powerhouses in the Hunter world, many of whom are far stronger than the person just now. Relying solely on Ripple, it will likely be difficult to even break through the defenses of those Nen masters in the future!

To survive in this world, you must learn Nen as soon as possible.

It's time to leave.

He thought about it.

As the rain subsided, Dia threw the gruesome corpse into the sewer, cleaned up her torn raincoat, and quickly left the scene.

-----------------

a few days later.

The midday sun relentlessly scorched the travelers.

In front of the small restaurant, a long-distance bus was parked crookedly under the blindingly bright sun.

Dia is saying goodbye to Ian and his daughter.

Before leaving Raya Town, Dia secretly went to the police station and obtained a substantial reward by identifying Hebra's body.

To avoid trouble, Dia made a deal with Officer James: he would get the credit, and Dia would get the bonus.

At this moment, Charlotte, with tears in her eyes, shouted loudly for Dia to come back and visit often.

Ian quietly helped him carry his luggage into the car.

"Alright, the car's about to leave, you should get on now."

Ian placed his large hand on Charlotte's head, signaling her not to be willful, while urging Dia in a calm tone.

"Yes, Uncle, take care of yourself. Charlotte too, try to keep up with the news."

"Okay—and this too, Diego, you take it."

Charlotte responded in a drawn-out tone, while magically producing a bulging white plastic bag containing some steamed buns.

"It's freshly steamed...it's still piping hot."

Dia smiled, took the bag, turned and got into the car, waving for them to go back.

As soon as Dia found a window seat, the car suddenly jolted, the engine roared, and the scenery outside the window began to move backward.

Through the car window, Dia could see a small figure stubbornly stuck in the same spot next to the old restaurant.

Charlotte kept waving her hands until the car became a distant black dot and could no longer be seen.

Upon witnessing this scene, Dia suddenly felt a more tangible sense of reality about the world.

Like an NPC in a comic book, suddenly they came to life and grew flesh and blood.

Chapter Six: Departure × Qiduo Yorkshire

Dia plans to take a long-distance bus to Kabalafo and then board an airship there.

Then, they traveled by airship to Loy, the capital of the Republic of Minbo, where the National Medical University was located in the suburbs.

The long-distance bus was bustling with noise, with various middle-aged and elderly people pointing and commenting on the scenery outside the window.

Diya quietly ate her steamed buns while summoning [The World] and continuously activating its power.

'Sure enough, the time has increased.'

After experiencing it multiple times, Dia confirmed that the duration of the pause in the [World] had increased by approximately 0.2 seconds.

'Is it because of those two battles? The cooldown time hasn't changed at all...'

Dia pondered silently, perhaps those two battles had increased his affinity with the [World].

However, it is still far from Dior's usual 5-second time stop and peak 9-second time stop.

We still need to practice.

"Doo- ...

A sudden cell phone ring interrupted Dia's thoughts.

Diya pulled out a Beetle phone with a strange look on his face. He had just bought it before he left. Although it was a bit expensive, it was very cost-effective.

Who would call him at this time?

Diya casually pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear. Before he could speak, a clear and calm female voice came through:

"Hello? Is this Dia? I heard you were in trouble. I took on a job a few days ago and didn't receive any messages from you. Are you alright now?"

Upon hearing that voice, Dia's eyes lit up. It was Chopper... no, it was Kido Yorkshire!

"Ah, Ms. Kita, I'm fine now."

Diya raised her voice, first reporting that she was safe, then changed the subject:

"However, I have recently made some new research findings about the human body and would like to ask for your guidance. Are you free these few days?"

That's right, he plans to use Ripple as a pretext to exchange for Kido's Nen instruction.

Given that Kito is described as having an "overly strong sense of morality" in the manga, Dia thinks this approach should be feasible.

Besides, there's no other way. Where can he find someone who can use Nen, is willing to teach him, and is trustworthy? The Hunter Exam won't start until January next year.

He doesn't have that much time to wait for luck.

At that very moment, far away at the airport in Loy City, Qi Duo, who had just landed, frowned, but did not refuse aloud:

"Sure, I'll be at the university these next few days. Just come find me when you arrive."

After that, Qiduo didn't exchange any more pleasantries. She simply reminded him to be on time and then hung up the phone.

For Chido Yorkshire, Diago, a student, left a deep impression on her.

During his university years, he participated in scientific research as an undergraduate, and many of his achievements were considered groundbreaking from her perspective.

She even believes that if this student is judged by the standards of a rare disease hunter, he has the potential to reach a star level in the future.

So even though she no longer taught students, she made an exception and took him in as a student, and later personally invited him to study for a master's and doctoral degree under her tutelage.

But he seemed to have no ambition to go any further, and he regretfully declined her invitation upon graduation.

She once lamented the loss of a scientific research talent.

Kido felt a little strange about the new discovery he had just mentioned on the phone.

According to her intelligence, Dia survived a shipwreck and then stayed with a kind family to recover from her injuries.

When she learned of Dia's predicament, her first thought was to issue a mission to have hunters search for him. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw in the intelligence report that he had been rescued the next day.

The question then arises: in that situation, where did he get the time and equipment to make his so-called new discovery?

'Is there something that can't be said over the phone?'

Kido's first reaction was that Dia had something important to say, but it had to be said in person, as there was a risk of leaking it over the phone.

But what important things could a student who has just graduated from school have?

Qiduo shook her head, rejecting the conjecture, and the two dog ears she had put on swayed along with it.

Whatever it is, he'll find out when he gets there. What's giving her a headache right now is what Bean Man told her yesterday about the vice president election scheduled for December!

Thinking of this, Keito remembered the person she just couldn't stand—Pariston.

Not to mention that he was appointed as the new [son] in just a few years.

There were even rumors that the president had already internally decided to appoint him as the new vice president!

'President, what are you thinking...'

Standing at the airport, Kito turned her head to look in the direction of the Hunter Association headquarters, her mind racing with thoughts.

-----------------

Dia was completely unaware of Qiduo's troubles; he was busy with something else.

He had his head down, was breathing strangely, and was muttering something under his breath.

That's right, he's practicing speaking while maintaining the ripple effect!

This technique isn't actually difficult, but he spent too little time learning Ripple, and since he was mostly engaged in real combat, he neglected to learn these subtle techniques.

Now that he has transmigrated, he actually has time to practice these little skills.

In his spare time, he also pondered his future path.

This world is undoubtedly full of unknowns and adventures. Some people are afraid of adventures, while others yearn for them.

Dia belongs to the latter.

He wanted to see the unknown landscapes, make friends with interesting people, climb the highest peaks, and defeat those invincible enemies!

And the foundation of all of this is sufficient strength.

Dia looked up, gazing at the ever-changing scenery outside the car window, thinking of the powerful characters from the manga: Hisoka, Chrollo, Paliston, King, Netero…

If these people want to be his enemies for different reasons, can he win the battle?

To give a simple example, if a Hundred-Style Guanyin who can exceed the speed of sound were to slap him, he probably wouldn't even have time to activate his time-stopping ability!

Hunter society is actually a brutal killing field where the strong fight each other with the determination to uphold their own will, and even death cannot make them back down.

Faced with this awareness, the weak have no choice whatsoever, and it's even harder to expect the strong to show them any pity, since they don't even care about their own lives.

Fortunately, Dia, who possesses the [World], undoubtedly has the qualifications to become a strong person!

-----------------

Over Kabalafu.

A small airship floated silently.

Besides the pilot, there was only one man and two women inside the airship.

"Commander, where are we going next?"

The driver suddenly asked casually. He was a blond, baby-faced young man with bright green eyes who looked very friendly.
