Smiling Silva stood up, " You can start after you've mastered the basics of Nen. Your Grandfather will be responsible for that part of your training. " Leon's excitement died a little before he remembered that his grandfather was the strongest person he had actually seen. " Come your grandfather is waiting for the both of us. "
Handing the bundle back to his mother Leon ran to catch up with his father, Illumi looked at the back of his brother who fell into step behind Silva
" Do you know if I'll ever catch up to him? " Kikyo looked up at her second son before gazing lovingly at Leon, " Since your birth Leon has been on another level, after he emerges from his training we'll all see his true potential. " Illumi's expression didn't change before he stood up, " I'm going to train, while I'll never be as strong as Leon I can still improve upon myself. "
Now by herself, Kikyo looked down at the baby in her arms, " I guess we should also start your training. "
Leon and Silva entered the Zoldyck manor not paying attention to the staff who bowed as they passed. Coming to a pair of golden doors Silva grabbed the dragon-shaped handles opening the heavy metal door that easily weighed a thousand pounds.
The room they entered looked like something one would find in an emperors castle, sitting on a chair with two dragon heads Zeno sipped from a chalice also adorned with dragon Zeno smiled as he saw Leon and Silva enter the room closing the door behind him, " Now that you're here, I see no reason not to start immediately. "
Putting his chalice to the side Zeno got up from his chair as he approached Leon, " Aura is the life energy produced by all living bodies vital for survival. Aura from all parts of the body has a tendency to flow together, producing one mass of energy. This happens without the individual's awareness, typically resulting in a slow leak of aura continually escaping the body and stemming up and off the top of the head. The pores or points on the body from which aura flows out from are called "Aura Nodes". In normal conditions, aura leaks away constantly without exceedingly harmful consequences; however, if someone whose Aura Nodes are fully open does not attempt to close them or control the flow of their aura, they will soon grow so fatigued they will be unable to stand or even lose consciousness. Grave wounds such as mutilations can disrupt the flow of aura in the affected body part and even stop it altogether. Controlling one's Aura Nodes is the first step to becoming a Nen user. Now sit down and close your eyes. "
Complying Leon crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and steady his breathing. During his torture training, Leon was taught meditation as a way to separate the mind from the body reducing the pain he felt. " Normally I would forcefully open your aura nodes by sending my Nen into your body. This time I want to see if you can manage it on your own, try to imaging your aura flowing up your body tapering off your head like steam from a cup of tea. "
Nodding Leon focused on picturing his body surrounded by Aura and in a few minutes, he could feel a lukewarm liquid lightly kissing his skin as he flowed up his body.
Opening his eyes Leon saw the milky white aura enveloping him like a bubble, as if his attention scared it the Aura started to flow faster and Leon felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. " Closing his eyes again Leon stopped his Nen from flowing away intensifying the warmth of the energy, Zeno and Silva looked on in silent shock at Leon's Aura.
It normally took a normal person, months to awaken their own Aura Nodes but to do it in mere minutes. Zeno stroked his beard as he observed Leon, ' His Aura is so dense and calm if I was a pond when I was learning Nen. Leon is an ocean. ' Opening his eyes Leon smiled, " What's the next step. "
Zeno looked down at his grandson and the thirst for strength hidden in his eyes made his heart beat faster, " The next step would be to learn Ten the process of stopping your Aura from flowing away, but you have already seemed to have mastered it on your own. I have a feeling that the basics of Nen will not take more than a week to learn. " Leon grinned as he rubbed the back of his head, " Now there are three other principles to Nen, Zetsu the concealing of Nen by stopping the flow of aura. While it is good for stealth it leaves the user vulnerable as they can not access their Nen. Ren the enhancement of Nen focuses on outputting a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively. This amplifies the user's physical strength and durability and provides a large pool of aura for any advanced techniques or individual skills they decide to use, albeit at the cost of expending said aura. One can train their Ren to extend its duration and increase the amount of aura at their disposal. The last one is Hatsu, one's personal expression of Nen. Its qualities are influenced by but not restricted to the Nen user's natural Nen category, one of the six available. Hatsu is used to project one's aura to carry out a certain function, creating a special and unique paranormal ability that is colloquially referred to as a Nen ability. Let's see how long it takes you to master the first two. "
Thinking it over for a second Leon uncrossed his legs as he got onto his knees, a second later Leon's aura exploded outward stopping at a monstrous five feet. The air seemed to shake from the power of Leon's Nen and for a whole six minutes, Leon was able to maintain his Ren. Zeno started to worry if they had made a mistake in awakening such a beast.
