Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 18's Nen ability is—gacha (?).

Su Wu looked down at the small card. It had no photo, only her name, a string of ID numbers, and her place of birth.

Name: Hill Deville, Place of birth: Yorkshire.

"This identity has already been entered into the system database."

"If you want to take the Hunter Exam, you can register online using that ID number. It just so happens to be registration time now. Do you need me to register for you?" Pampas asked.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away today?" Su Wu asked with a smile, holding the card between her index and middle fingers.

"You can leave anytime, and maybe it's a good thing to leave sooner rather than later," Pampas said in a nonchalant tone.

"By the way, if you're going to leave, remember to leave from District 13 and head towards the Gordo Desert. At your speed, you'll be able to cross the desert quickly."

"Or you could choose to leave on an airship that transports garbage..." he offered as a way to leave.

Su Wu blinked, looking at the other person with some confusion.

When Pampas first asked him to stay in Meteor City for a year, he thought the other party was going to use him for something, but his life in Meteor City turned out to be... not bad, hmm.

They even received help from West Germany to train and become stronger.

Pampas has now stated that he is ready to leave at any time.

So what was the purpose of keeping this guy around in the first place?

"I am a speculator," Pampas said with a smile, facing the boy's skeptical gaze.

"I'm pretty sure that might be my only chance to invest in you."

"At least you'll remember me even after you leave Meteor City. We're friends, aren't we?" the blond, green-eyed man said politely.

The opportunistic businessman, upon first seeing the white-haired youth, was already certain that he had seized an opportunity that could generate huge profits.

This guy has a really good eye for investment.

If Pampas had met him now... no, if he had had his current strength back then, he probably would have forced his way out of Meteor City.

Su Wu inwardly approved of Pampas's judgment.

But he couldn't bring himself to act all friendly and cheerful, as if he were eager to make friends with the other person. Instead, he showed a disdainful expression: "I don't need that boring thing called friends."

"I'm leaving." As if he couldn't be bothered to say another word, he turned and was about to leave.

"Here, take this. It contains my phone number with West Germany," Pampas suddenly said, tossing a cell phone over.

Without turning her head, Su Wu took the phone with her back to Pampas and disappeared through the door.

"Let me see, another treasure mine has been invested in..." After the other person left, Pampas took out a booklet from his body and flipped through it.

The name Su Wu used—Hill Deville—was written on one of the pages.

There are many other names on the booklet.

Speculators, of course, cannot invest only once.

……

Su Wu decided to leave tomorrow and go back to District Twelve to get a good night's sleep. Of course, before leaving, he also needed to inform West Germany.

"Leaving tomorrow?" West Germany's face was full of surprise.

Why did the Pampas keep people here to join the church, and then let them go so quickly?

It's not entirely unexpected, since staying in Meteor City won't necessarily make one stronger.

External experiences are essential for improving one's overall capabilities.

"I understand." Sid nodded, but said nothing else.

Su Wu didn't expect the other party to say anything, so she nodded slightly and went back to her temporary residence.

During his stay, no furniture was added except for blankets and toiletries; when he left, all he needed to take was himself.

Famous locations in the Hunter x Hunter world include... Whale Island, the birthplace of the protagonist Gon, then the testing grounds where they took their tests, Lost Melody Wetlands, Battleship Island, Trap Tower... I think Trap Tower is a prison, I don't know if it's open to the public for visits.

There's also Kukuroo Mountain, where the Zoldyck family lives, Sky Arena, and Yorknew City, which is controlled by the mafia. But it seems like you have to pay to participate in the auctions there. I'll try to find a way to get some for free.

If you happen to encounter a famous person, you can take a photo with them.

Su Wu suddenly sat up in bed, thinking of the previous opportunities to collect stamps with Chrollo and Uvogin. He had missed them! The members of the Phantom Troupe were definitely no longer in Meteor City. He could only hope to run into them again later.

As a former anime convention regular, stamp collecting is something ingrained in my bones.

Speaking of which, what exactly will his Nen ability be? I don't care about anything else, I just hope it's an interesting ability.

Once he acquires all of Gojo Satoru's abilities, he will be able to fight, control, and heal.

If it's his own Nen ability... he wants it to be fun, mysterious, and powerful. He feels it's boring if he only has one ability; ideally, it should be an ability with a lot of flexibility...

As he pondered this, he lay back down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

He had a dream in which he was also thinking about what his Nen ability should be like.

He likes cards, such as Clow Cards and Tarot cards.

Each card has a different effect; it's so much fun!

As the master of dreams, he is the creator, and he can easily get whatever he wants.

In his dream, he possessed his own deck of cards.

When he woke up the next morning, he looked at the extra things in front of him and fell silent.

A large disc floats in mid-air, inside which dozens of cards are rotating, waiting to be drawn. The front and back of the cards are identical, all very blurry and unclear.

Su Wu silently raised his hand and drew a card. Soon, the empty space was occupied by other cards. He drew two more cards in a row, and the disc disappeared.

It seems I can only draw three cards at a time.

He looked down at the cards in his hand.

The previously blurry card face, which made it impossible to distinguish the front from the back, has shed its veil of mystery, revealing the true card face.

The black and gold cards have a high-quality feel and a substantial weight.

The familiar appearance was none other than tarot cards.

The kind of dream I had last night.

Who develops their Nen ability in their dreams...?

"Conjuration-type ability, huh..." He picked up the cards and flipped through them one by one.

The type of Nen ability can be detected through the Water Observation Method.

Judging from the reaction, it belongs to what system.

Well, we can do that later.

In any case, powerful Nen users generally have multiple types of abilities, so the type itself isn't that important.

These three cards were no different from any other tarot cards he had ever seen.

The only difference is that the character on the card is Su Wu's current appearance.

For example, the Pope card depicts a white-haired, blue-eyed boy with tattoos wearing a three-tiered crown, a red papal robe, and holding a three-tiered scepter while seated.

"...Mutated Tarot cards? My ability is to use these cards for divination?" Su Wu held the cards with some confusion, not knowing how to use them for a moment.

As a seasoned anime and manga enthusiast, he knows a thing or two about how to use tarot cards for divination.

First, identify the question you want to ask.

Then, the cards are used for divination.

But the disc that appeared, and the three cards that were spat out, didn't seem to be used for divination at all.

The first card he drew was the one depicting the Pope in his upright position.

"Use?" He tried to flick the cards.

The next moment, his appearance changed completely, becoming exactly the same as the image on the card.

"...Card draw and costume change?" He stared blankly at his flashy outfit and fell silent.

He tried to take off his clothes, but as he reached out to touch them, an instinct kicked in—he couldn't take them off.

"So am I supposed to wear it all the time?" He looked at the person on the card, thought for a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed.

It's okay, just treat it as a new way to play. He's playing the role of the Pope today, so it's not a big problem.

Don't get angry at your own abilities.

After all, it was an ability he created himself in his dream.

That's really interesting! It surprised him. What an interesting ability!

Su Wu, dressed as the Pope, walked out of the room and met West Germany, who was carrying a white backpack.

The other person seemed somewhat dazed when they saw the flamboyantly dressed young man.

"Was this prepared for me?" Su Wu asked, looking at the backpack in Xi De's hand.

"Yes, I've also prepared some money for you. There will definitely be many places where you'll need to spend money along the way..." Sid's tone of reply made Su Wu's eyes turn strange.

The other person's tone... why does it sound a bit respectful? Something's not right, it's completely different from the usual West German tone.

"You even prepared money for me?" Su Wu asked in a subtle tone.

"Yes, if you need, my savings from all these years are also available..." Sid said, his words gradually becoming more and more outrageous.

Something's definitely not right!

Wait... could all of this be because of the Pope card he drew?

Su Wu looked down at her red robe again, her expression becoming even more complicated.

Does the Hierophant card have the power to make others willingly hand over money?

It's not that simple (x)
