Hunter X Hunter, Reborn as a Kuruta Tribesmen

Rocky closed his eyes and began to adjust his emotions again.

The Scarlet Eyes required strong emotional fluctuations, and among the many emotions, the easiest for Rocky to mobilize was anger.

After brewing his emotions for more than ten seconds, Rocky opened his eyes, but it was just the beginning.

The Scarlet Eyes were open!

The red eyes were the same as always, but this time there seemed to be more starlight.

Rocky couldn't see it, of course, but he could clearly feel the difference: his Scarlet Eyes were open, and it felt much easier than before.

"The bloodline ability has been improved. Does that make it easier to open the Scarlet Eyes?"

Rocky raised his hand to perform the water-viewing ceremony again. It was still the performance of an Enhancer. The water in the cup overflowed, indicating that Rocky's Nen system had transformed into an Enhancer.

Very good!

He felt his Nen again, and it seemed slightly enhanced.

Compared to the last time, both the ease of opening the Scarlet Eyes and the amount of Nen energy had significantly improved.

It was about 1.3 times the normal state. Although the improvement wasn't massive, it was already very good.

In a Nen battle, even a slight increase in energy could cause an opponent to make a wrong judgment. This could easily decide the outcome of a battle.

The battle of Nen was different from battles in other worlds. It wasn't simply about who had stronger Nen energy. Intelligence was particularly important in Nen battles.

After feeling the increase in Nen energy, Rocky took the initiative to close the Scarlet Eyes.

The next step was to feel his own fatigue.

From the degree of fatigue, Rocky could roughly estimate how long he could maintain the Scarlet Eyes.

However, this time it was opened for a full minute. After ending the Scarlet Eyes state, Rocky noticed that he wasn't as tired as he had expected.

His body didn't seem to be in pain either.

This wasn't because there was no physical burden when the Scarlet Eyes were open, but it seemed like Rocky's safety threshold had been raised.

In other words, now, when the Scarlet Eyes were open, it didn't cause any adverse effects for a certain period of time.

No side effects.

"This is interesting. The improvement in bloodline power can enhance the power of the Scarlet Eyes while reducing the load!"

"Then the bloodline ability must be improved to the top level quickly!"

The reduced emotional fluctuations required to open the Scarlet Eyes, along with the reduced burden and increased energy, all pointed to the fact that if the bloodline ability was improved to the top level, there might not even be a need to mobilize emotions to open the Scarlet Eyes.

Just a thought would be enough. It could even last longer once opened, and the increase in energy would be greater.

---

The safe opening time of the Scarlet Eyes had also been extended.

"Three days is not too long!"

"You can start researching and developing the ability first!"

Rocky smiled. If he could develop the ability he imagined, then escaping from the Kuruta tribe would not be a problem!

Even Rocky could decide whether to escape or not!

But after thinking carefully, he realized that the difficulty would likely be far from trivial.

...

The next day!

Rocky followed the chief to a remote forest in the wild.

There were two logs placed in the clearing of the forest, and Rocky and the chief sat down opposite each other.

A wooden block in the middle acted as a makeshift table.

"Little Rocky, I didn't expect that you would improve so quickly in just one month!" the clan leader praised.

"You've already completed the basic four major actions—Entanglement, Absolute, and Practice—and you've also perfectly completed the practice required for a Manipulator!"

"Now you can start the last of the four basic actions, the Launch!"

Rocky nodded.

"Yesterday, I asked you to think about what you would like to materialize if you were asked to materialize something."

The patriarch seemed to be looking at Rocky nervously at this moment.

Manipulators are a little different. Essentially, the choice of materialization determines the direction of the ability user's development.

Although abilities can be so strange that people can't just think of them casually, they can be roughly guessed.

For example, containers are mostly auxiliary ability users.

Mind beasts may have auxiliary abilities or combat abilities; it's uncertain.

Another type is obviously a combat weapon—cold or hot weapons—which are mostly not auxiliary abilities.

Direct combat-type items usually have very demanding ability activation conditions.

In fact, it is not recommended.

"I want to materialize a sword!" Rocky said decisively.

The patriarch, who had been eagerly awaiting the answer, suddenly didn't know what to say when he heard this.

After staring at Rocky for a long time, he finally asked, "Anything else?"

"No, when the clan leader asked me, the first thing that came to my mind was this!" Rocky replied.

---

"Uh..."

The clan leader's expression grew a little strange. Nen abilities were unpredictable, and for Conjurers, the first thing that came to mind was often difficult to change.

It wasn't impossible, but altering that initial concept was extremely challenging. Even if successful, the power of the materialized item would rarely match the original intent.

The clan leader, not being a Conjurer himself, found it hard to offer advice.

With a sigh, he relented. Although materializing a sword wasn't ideal, Rocky's talent was undeniable. Perhaps his potential would offset the difficulties.

Even if his talent wasn't extraordinary, it should still lead to decent results.

"Alright."

"What kind of sword do you plan to materialize?"

Rocky smiled confidently. "Grandpa will know when I materialize it."

"You know that it's impossible for materialized objects to fully match the effect of real ones, right?"

"I know!"

The clan leader nodded. "Good. It seems you remember what I've told you before. Then I won't say more. Go ahead."

Rocky lowered his head, extending his hands as he gathered his thoughts. He closed his eyes, silently envisioning the sword he wanted to create.

A black blade, a silver hilt, and intricate patterns.

One side bore a Western-style guard, while the other extended upward from the hilt, bending at just the right angle to resemble a pair of wings spreading outward.

Piece by piece, Rocky imagined each detail carefully.

As his focus deepened, white crystalline fragments appeared around him. They slowly gathered in front of Rocky, assembling into the sword exactly as he had envisioned.

The clan leader, watching intently, was surprised by the process.

The sword wasn't simply materialized—it was as if those white crystals had emerged from Rocky's Nen, mirroring the phenomena he displayed during the water divination test.

The crystals aligned and fused, producing sounds reminiscent of shattering glass.

When the formation was complete, the clan leader's eyes widened.

As expected, a Conjurer's creations were never ordinary.

The sword's size rested between that of a greatsword and a standard longsword. Its unique shape alone indicated that this weapon was far from conventional.

This wasn't just a simple blade. The clan leader wondered what kind of ability Rocky would eventually develop around it.

Rocky opened his eyes. The sword now hovered in mid-air, floating at the moment of its completion.

It was done.

He had materialized it—**the Sword of the Wise King.**
