Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

Von Clay made the final decision, and no one objected.

Furthermore, giving the team a name can greatly enhance everyone's sense of belonging and honor.

Sure enough, their spirits rose again.

"But I think we could add something in front of it~"

Machi thought for a moment:

"For example, a certain kind of troupe."

"'Now, let's welcome the [name of the group], their performance is about to begin!' That sounds amazing!!"

"What?! The brigade is recruiting members?! That's great!! It instantly gives me motivation, that's awesome!!"

The group of people were excitedly discussing amongst themselves, each talking at once.

"Nowadays, audiences are gradually shifting their attention from the visuals to us."

"This must be what von Clay meant by... idol worship, right?"

"Ha, I never thought we'd be so popular."

"Yes, yes, they seem happier looking at us now..."

"And if we establish this so-and-so troupe, and all future public performances and announcements are made under the name of this so-and-so troupe~"

"Thinking about it that way, it's definitely more popular!!"

"How about we just call it 'The Beasts Brigade,' using the name of our work? What do you guys think?!"

Uvogin suggested.

"Well, as Bon Clay said, it's best to keep reality separate from the role."

Well, the group collectively ignored Uvogin's suggestion of the name "Beasts Troupe".

Uvogin is certainly energetic, but some of his ideas are just hard for people to accept.

"I think this name is great, and it's our first work, so it's very memorable!"

Uvogin muttered to himself.

"Wokin looks really exciting."

Salazar smiled and praised:

"It's completely different from before."

"At first, I was just open to anything, I wanted everything~"

Uvogin chuckled:

"But now, with clear goals and things I want to do, things are definitely different!!"

"So what does Uvogin want to do?"

"Von Clay asked with a smile."

"Of course..."

Uvogin spread his arms wide, his gaze fixed intently on von Clay:

"I want to travel the world with you and be... the world's number one villain!!"

At this point, he grinned:

"Don't forget, I'm still waiting for you to teach me Nen!!"

He remained deeply troubled by von Klay's comment that his "physical fitness was not good enough."

Fortunately, he still has the career of filming and acting, otherwise Uvogin would have been pestering Bon Clay long ago.

And after he said those words...

"Psychic ability?!"

The other members who were unaware of the term immediately noticed this.

"What is this? Is it some kind of magical ability?!"

The knight and Franklin both looked up at the same time, curiously observing:

"Is this the kind of ability that Bon Clay uses?!"

"In other words~"

Salazar and Paknoda also looked enlightened:

"Are all these 'inventions' for filming that Bon Clay brought out, and even the food we eat, all powered by this Nen ability?!"

"Well……"

Uvogin shrank back, as if he realized he had been too talkative and said the wrong thing.

Before this, von Clay had only told a few people...

As a result, he inadvertently betrayed von Clay.

Now, without even turning his head, Uvogin could almost feel Machi's death stare coming from behind him.

"Yes, you guessed right."

Von Clay didn't seem to think anything of it and readily nodded in agreement.

If it wasn't convenient to reveal the existence of Nen abilities before, now that everyone has formed this team and been given the name "Phantom Troupe"...

For his companions, there was naturally no need to hide anything.

"That's the secret to how I did it all..."

Von Clay looked at Kuroro, who was quietly watching him, and smiled.

The latter returned the same smile.

The unspoken understanding between the two was evident.

"And this power, under normal circumstances, will not be known to others."

Von Klay added another explanation:

Unless~

He turned his head and looked at Sheila, who was sitting there quietly:

"Once you become a hunter, you will naturally have excellent senior hunters to teach you how to learn this power."

Becoming a hunter, huh?!

Sheila's eyes lit up immediately.

No wonder, no wonder when she was reading the book before, she always felt that there should be something special about being a hunter.

Now it seems...

That's the Nen ability!!

Without further ado, Bon Clay recounted the story of Nen abilities to everyone.

Everyone, including Uvogin and Phinks who had already been mentioned, remained silent...

Along with Franklin, Chrollo, and Sheila, all looking very serious, they once again listened to Bon Clay's explanation of Nen abilities.

While the members of the Phantom Troupe were listening to Bon Clay explain Nen abilities, on the other side—

Inside a classic room in the heart of Meteor City, filled with Western style.

"That boy named von Clay is very talented and intelligent..."

"He was very clear about what he was doing, what he could do, and what he needed to do..."

Father Lizor stood in front of the church and said this to an old man with a wrinkled face sitting in his seat.

He greatly admired von Klay and was lavish in his praise.

The elderly man, dressed in finery and also very old, listened quietly.

Only after Father Lizor finished his recommendation did he slowly begin to speak:

"Didn't you always rave about that kid named Kuroro?"

The old man's voice was very low:

"They also said he's very curious, loves to delve into things, and is very dedicated to his studies; he'll definitely have a bright future..."

"You are often amazed and delighted by his creativity..."

"That's what I think now too."

Father Lizor said with absolute certainty.

"So, there's a certain mutual respect between him and von Clay..."

"And their way of getting along..."

Father Lizor paused for a moment: "It was led by von Clay."

"I see..."

The elders of the Meteor City Core Council somewhat understood Father Lizor's meaning:

"You originally thought highly of that kid named Kuroro, but now someone who is no less talented than him, or even more outstanding, has appeared, right...?"

"So what are your thoughts?"

"I think we could invite them to the elders' council and hear their opinions and thoughts."
