I'm in HxH, Survive for Five Years!

"How about it? You've been observing for a while now. You should understand the game's situation!" Netero walked over to Ethan Wells with a smile.

"Well, it's just about grabbing the ball, right?" Ethan nodded.

"Yes, but you're different from those two youngsters, so we need to establish three special rules."

Netero raised three fingers with his free right hand.

"First, no special powers can be used. Whoever uses them will lose."

"Second, don't destroy the ball. Whoever destroys it loses."

"Third, the game is limited to this room. Anyone who exceeds the room's boundaries will lose."

With each rule, Netero retracted a finger until he formed a fist, then watched Ethan's reaction with a smile.

'Special power, what is that, some kind of hidden move?' Killua sat, closely observing the two on the field. When he heard the three rules from Netero, he keenly picked up on the key information from the first rule.

Doubts arose in his mind, and thoughts flashed across his mind. His attention immediately became more focused, wanting to understand what the special power the two of them were talking about was.

On Ethan's side, he quickly reviewed the three rules mentioned by Netero in his mind.

The second and third rules were straightforward, but the first rule was particularly important.

The special powers obviously refer to Nen.

Although Ethan's abilities aren't strictly Nen, Netero wouldn't know that, so he couldn't use them.

As for why Netero included this rule... Ethan glanced at the two kids sitting nearby.

It was likely to reduce the damage and prevent the two youngsters from learning about Nen too early.

Ethan didn't dwell on Netero's deeper motives. After confirming the three rules, he nodded and said, "I understand, and I have no problem with these rules!"

"Okay, let our game begin!" A smile appeared in Netero's eyes, and he grabbed the ball firmly with his right hand that had been spinning it.

Uh-huh!

Almost at the same moment, Ethan sprang into action as soon as Netero announced the start.

His legs exploded with incredible power. Like a flash, he appeared beside Netero in an instant, his left hand reaching for the ball like lightning.

He quickly adapted to his newfound strength, and after a day of relaxation, he had fully mastered his power.

With his current physique, both his explosive power and speed had significantly improved.

"So fast!"—Gon

"His explosive power is even higher than mine?!"—Killua

"Nice speed, but still too green."—Netero

Not to mention the reactions of Gon and Killua, Netero easily understood Ethan's movements. He laughed inwardly, turned, and pulled the ball away from Ethan's grasping right hand.

"Not so easy!"

Ethan's eyes flashed, and his left hand didn't stop. Instead, it landed on Netero's opposite shoulder.

Not to attack, but to use leverage.

As Ethan gripped Netero's shoulder, he used his legs to propel himself. Like a graceful monkey, he flipped upside down in the air and aimed to kick the ball to the other side.

Netero's body sank slightly from the force, disrupting his balance.

"Huh? Quite capable..."

Netero appreciated Ethan's maneuver, but his actions remained swift.

The shoulder being used didn't resist; instead, it moved downward smoothly. In a half-squat, Netero displayed his agility and quick reactions.

He instantly adjusted his center of gravity, withdrawing his left hand, causing Ethan to miss the ball and land on the ground.

Bang~!

The ground trembled slightly, but there were no visible signs of damage.

It's not that Ethan lacked the strength to crush the ground, but he controlled his power, focusing on speed to avoid destroying the ball.

Otherwise, with his strength, even steel plates could be easily penetrated.

After failing to secure the ball in his first attempt, Ethan didn't pause. He quickly spun around, using his right foot as a pivot, and aimed a punch at Netero's face with his left hand.

Boom!

The sharp sound of the punch roared, more like a spear thrust than a simple punch.

The fist, like a spear tip, shot out with speed and precision, embodying the "Spike Fist·Assassination" technique from Ethan's early training.

Instead of going for the ball again, Ethan aimed directly at Netero. This move made the watching Gon and Killua's pupils contract.

"Not good!"

"What a powerful attack!"

Gon was shocked, while Killua felt threatened by Ethan's attack.

Even though "Spike Fist·Assassination" was an early technique for Ethan, its lethality, combined with Ethan's advanced practice and physique, was terrifying.

Despite the formidable attack, Netero remained unfazed. He sidestepped slightly, tilting his head to narrowly avoid Ethan's fist.

While this attack threatened Killua, it didn't pressure Netero.

But Ethan didn't expect his move to hurt Netero.

'Spike Fist·Assassination' was a mere feint. As Netero dodged, Ethan used the inertia to spring forward, tapping the ground with his right foot.

He darted forward like a snake, brushing past Netero, his body leaping through the air, right hand reaching for the ball hidden behind Netero.

"Your physical coordination is commendable, but you're still far from snatching the ball from me."

Netero had anticipated Ethan's move. Without much thought, he leaped into the air, causing Ethan to grab at nothing once more.
