"By the way, Miu, try using Ren. Let's see how long you can maintain it." Suddenly, Takeru seemed to think of something and spoke to Miu.
"Ren? But I haven't tried it before. In the dream, it seemed like Ren is releasing the Aura explosively, but how do I release it like that?" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu was somewhat clueless.
"So you haven't used Ren yet?" Hearing Miu's words, Takeru was also stunned.
"Nope." Upon hearing this, Miu quickly nodded.
"Alright, I'll explain, and you do it. First, imagine the energy accumulated within your body, then let each cell start collecting energy, gradually increasing it, and release the accumulated power outward in one go!" Hearing Miu's words, Takeru quickly instructed her.
'Imagine the energy accumulated within the body, then let each cell start collecting energy...' After hearing Takeru's words, Miu closed her eyes and began to comprehend his instructions.
Perhaps because the Nen Seed, although not teaching in great detail, still provided some enhancement to the amount and control of Nen, Miu quickly entered the state.
About ten minutes later, she seemed to finally grasp the trick, and Nen began to erupt from her body.
As Miu erupted her Nen, Takeru sensed it and smiled slightly, his hands not stopping as he quickly handled the ingredients.
About eight minutes later, Miu was panting heavily and stopped maintaining Ren. She could no longer continue. Takeru, sensing that Miu could only maintain Ren for about eight minutes, was somewhat surprised.
Although it couldn't be compared to Takeru, it was much stronger than an ordinary person.
Also, although there were naturally gifted individuals, under normal circumstances, physical fitness had a significant impact on initial Nen as well. Back then, Takeru's stamina was over four times Miu's, and Takeru could maintain it for thirty-eight minutes on his first try. However, Takeru had the enhancement from the gene potion at that time.
Calculating this way, Miu, with the enhancement from the Nen Seed, might not differ much from Takeru in Nen talent. And it wasn't Takeru boasting… he felt his own Nen Talent was quite good.
"Miu, your goal now is to first master Ten, Zetsu, and Ren. Also, make sure your Ren can last at least thirty minutes. Otherwise, even with Nen, your strength won't improve much. After all, in a fight, your Nen would be depleted quickly."
"As for now, use Zetsu to recover your Nen." After some thought, Takeru turned and spoke to Miu.
"I see. Alright, I understand." Hearing Takeru suddenly say this, Miu was stunned for a moment before quickly nodding.
Seeing that Miu clearly took his words to heart, Takeru nodded with satisfaction and then continued to busy himself quickly.
About another twenty minutes later, Takeru had prepared a large number of dishes and quickly brought them to the dining table.
"Alright, Miu, take a break. Wash your hands and come eat first." Seeing Miu still training diligently, Takeru said with a smile.
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Miu quickly opened her eyes and ran straight to the bathroom.
"Wow, I'm so hungry!" Arriving at the dining table, Miu couldn't help but rub her stomach. Nen Training made her feel extremely hungry.
"Alright, you worked hard. Eat quickly." Seeing Miu's expression, Takeru said with a smile.
"Mhm!" Nodding quickly, Miu began to eat the food rapidly, especially targeting high-calorie items.
Seeing this, Takeru smiled. After awakening Nen, with proper training, one wouldn't get fat from eating too much.
As time passed, the six dishes and one soup Takeru prepared were completely finished by Takeru and Miu. After eating, realizing her appetite, Miu became worried.
"Don't worry. As long as you train properly, you won't get fat." Noticing Miu's expression, Takeru said with amusement.
"That's great then!" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, right. Since your appetite might increase later, here's some money for you. Don't go hungry." Suddenly, Takeru seemed to think of something and quickly took out some money to give to Miu.
"Okay, then I won't hold back!" Seeing Takeru directly take out several ten-thousand-yen bills, Miu's eyes lit up excitedly.
"Little money-grubber." Seeing Miu's expression, Takeru was greatly amused.
"Hmph!" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu didn't have time to argue with him. Taking the money, she ran to her room, found a book on the bookshelf, placed four of the bills inside for safekeeping, and kept one with her.
Apart from the newly acquired 50,000 yen, over the years, Miu had saved up over 30,000 yen bit by bit. This was what she saved by being frugal, mainly because she was afraid that one day Takeru might also run out of money, and this money could provide them with a last resort for living. Takeru naturally knew about this. He felt more touched and gratified than anything else.
…
In the blink of an eye, another day passed. Today was the day Takeru invited Yukino, Umaru, and the others to visit.
Around 9:30, Takeru had finished preparations at home and was training while waiting for everyone's arrival.
Ding-dong...
"Coming!" Hearing the bell, Takeru, using Observation Haki, already knew who it was and opened the door directly.
"Welcome, please come in." Seeing Umaru, Takeru said with a smile.
"Sorry for intruding." Seeing Takeru, Umaru showed a gentle smile.
"Umaru-nee!" In the living room, Miu, who was meditating, also greeted Umaru with a smile.
"Hi, Miu-chan!" Seeing Miu, Umaru also showed a sweet smile. Then, after Takeru gave Umaru disposable slippers, she changed into them and went inside.
"Please sit for a bit. We'll start the explanation after Yukino and the others arrive." As he went to the kitchen to pour Umaru a cup of tea, Takeru said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you." Accepting the tea Takeru brought, Umaru thanked him gently, then looked intently at Miu because she sensed a familiar aura from her.
"Miu, can you also use Nen?" After a while, Umaru hesitantly spoke.
"Mhm." Hearing Umaru's words, Miu directly nodded.
"Hiss—" Upon hearing this, Umaru couldn't help but gasp. Then she realized: Clearly, Takeru had given the precious Nen Seed to Miu. For a moment, she felt a bit envious of Miu.
Takeru, on the other hand, wasn't thinking about that. With a smile, he sat on the sofa, waiting for Yukino and the others to arrive, while also meditating.
About two more minutes later, in Takeru's perception, Yukino, Yui, and Ui were walking upstairs.
Ding-dong!
"Coming, please come in." Opening the door and seeing the three of them, Takeru said with a smile.
"Sorry for intruding." Yukino, Yui, and Ui politely said to Takeru.
The three of them also changed into the disposable slippers Takeru prepared, then headed inside. After Takeru poured them tea, he sat down opposite them.
"Alright, now I'll explain to you in detail what Nen is, as well as the direction of Nen Training and development." After sitting down, Takeru's expression became serious as he got straight to the point.
Hearing this, everyone sat up straight. Only Yui seemed a bit at a loss because, among those present, she was the only one who hadn't awakened Nen.
"Yui, you can listen too. If you want to develop in this direction in the future, then after you've meditated for a while, I can help you awaken your Nen." Noticing Yui's actions, Takeru spoke.
"Eh, I can awaken Nen too?" Hearing Takeru's words, Yui was stunned.
"Of course. Everyone inherently possesses Nen, including other animals and plants. The so-called Nen is the ability to freely manipulate the life energy emitted from within the body. The power used in attack or defense is called [Nen]."
