In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

But looking at it now...

"This hat must have been placed on Gon's head a long time ago."

"The reason it's effective is that he awakened Nen, and the aura flows around him, effectively 'charging' the hat, allowing it to work, right?!"

"After awakening Nen, it brings about an incredible flexibility of the body, especially when fighting against me... Hmph, Gon really has quite the luck, timing it perfectly, huh?!"

"But?"

Hisoka's lips curled into an inscrutable smile:

"I've been looking forward to this fight for quite some time now.

"In the end, just when the battle was about to conclude, your tool interrupted my enjoyment."

"You and your tools are really persistent, Morin!!!"

Hisoka delivered a heavy punch to Gon's elongated forehead, as if gritting his teeth and hitting Morin's face instead!!

Bang!

Gon's head shook like a bobblehead and flew out.

Smack!!

In the air, Gon's head and body merged back together, returning to a normal human form.

At the same time, his body helplessly fell to the ground.

Hisoka, whose interest had been disturbed, felt utterly disinterested, not even glancing at Gon lying on the ground.

He turned around and walked off the stage, his back appearing somewhat lonely and dull.

"Ten to two! Hisoka wins this match."

The referee's announcement finally came in belatedly.

"It doesn't even hurt that much..."

Lying on the ground, Gon touched his cheek, still not having recovered from his confusion.

The rubber-like flexibility allowed him to almost be immune to physical impact attacks.

He touched the hat on his head with one hand and his cheek with the other, his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling.

Gon could somewhat feel that the hat he had worn since childhood was quite different and extraordinary.

"Even if I had this hat from the start, I still wouldn't be a match for Hisoka, right?"

"I remember his weapon is playing cards, but he didn't even use them against me.

"He didn't even use his full strength, and even at today's level, it was hard for me to handle."

"I have so much more to learn... but

Gon finally let out a long breath: "At least I returned that punch to Hisoka!!"

The final result of the match ended with Gon losing.

But for Gon, it was already enough.

He returned that punch to Hisoka, discovered the extraordinary nature of the hat, and recognized his own shortcomings. From this fight, he gained a lot.

"I really have to thank Master Wing for your teachings during this time."

At the entrance of Heaven's Arena, some time after the battle ended, Gon and Killua were bidding farewell to Wing.

"Oh, it's nothing. You two are exceptionally outstanding yourselves."

Wing adjusted his glasses and smiled.

"When I first received the task from the Hunter Association to teach you Nen, I was quite surprised."

"Your talents far exceeded my expectations."

Gon and Killua scratched their heads, grinning like flowers: "Not at all."

"You two are really amazing?"

Wing marveled: "I even called my senior brother before to ask about you, and he had nothing but praise for you two."

"It's not that great... Senior brother?"

Gon and Killua first responded modestly, then blinked.

"Senior brother refers to..."

"Oh right, I don't think I told you before."

Wing laughed: "You should know my senior brother quite well. He participated in this year's Hunter Exam with you and also obtained a Hunter License."

"He participated in the Hunter Exam with us?!"

"And obtained a Hunter License?!!!"

Gon and Killua simultaneously twitched at the corners of their eyes.

"Could it be..."

"Hmm, it seems you two have guessed it."

Wing chuckled:

"My senior brother is Morin."

Gon: "..."

Killua: "..."

Just as expected!!!

Morin, the senior brother, can be said to be a true all-rounder! What kind of mentors do you have?

Among the successful candidates of the Hunter Exam, aside from the deceased Botobai and the disqualified Killua, there were eight people in total.

---

First of all, we can rule out Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika. They're all newcomers who don't understand Nen yet. Similarly, we can exclude Hanzo, the chatterbox ninja, and Tonpa, who's participated thirty-five times and is just average in skill.

That leaves Illumi and Killua, but there's no way Killua would consider his older brother. The same goes for Hisoka; his way of doing things and his fighting style aren't in line with the orthodox Shingen-Ryu.

So that only leaves...

"No wonder I felt a strange familiarity when learning Nen. Turns out it's from the same source as Morin..."

Killua's lips twitched, his eyes narrowing: "It's all Shingen-Ryu Nen training."

"Isn't it?" Wing chuckled.

"As my master used to say to motivate and discipline me, Morin's talent is the best she's ever seen in her life.

"And he's incredibly diligent, not just in Nen training but also in mastering all sorts of knowledge in this world. Truly, he's an all-rounder."

He continued in detail:

"Perhaps that's why Morin developed such a versatile Nen ability with countless tools."

"It took him just a couple of years to graduate from our master."

"And our master set the highest difficulty challenges for Morin's graduation, whereas it took me several years to barely earn her approval."

Gon and Killua listened intently to Wing's recounting.

It was the first time they heard about Morin's legendary feats from someone else.

"'At least you won't get beaten to death out there,' is something my master said, and I still remember it."

"Initially, I was a bit unconvinced about Morin, thinking our master was biased. But later on..."

A nostalgic look flashed in Wing's eyes:

"When I learned that Morin's disciple, Kastro, made a great name for himself in the world and earned great merit in the Hunter Association, becoming one of the Twelve Zodiacs,

"And here I was, just another face in the crowd, an unknown figure."

Wing self-deprecatingly added:

"It was then I realized the gap between Morin and me, and why I remained a registered disciple even after graduating."

"But over the years, I've come to terms with it."

Wing patted zushi's head, smiling:

"With such an outstanding senior like Morin, who shines brightly, even Kastro, a third-generation disciple, has already more than fulfilled his role."

He laughed freely:

"I don't feel much pressure myself, teaching students and enjoying life without burdens is quite nice."

"Mr. Wing..."

Gon and Killua were silent.

They could hear Wing's nonchalance, but there was a hint of bitterness.

After all~

Who wouldn't want to make a name for themselves in this world?

But above Wing, there was the overwhelmingly brilliant Morin.

Even his nephew, in terms of strength, achievements, and prestige, far surpassed him.

What else could Wing do but let go?

"I didn't expect, Mr. Wing, that you and Morin were fellow disciples."

Killua put his arms behind his head, curiosity gleaming in his eyes:

"What kind of master do you have to produce a disciple like Morin?!"

"Uh..."

—Thinking of his master's petite, gentle, and cute appearance, yet when she gets mad, she's an absolute powerhouse... Wing couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head:

"My master often said that the relationship between a master and disciple is a mutual choice."

"While a master chooses the disciple, the disciple also chooses the master."

"My master said that Morin's achievements are largely due to himself."

"Otherwise, under the same master, Morin has gone further and reached the forefront of the world,

"I could feel that my master gave her all in teaching me, with no reservations. So..."

Wing first glanced at Zushi, then at Gon and Killua, hinting:

"People are truly different."

Zushi's talent is outstanding, one in hundreds of thousands, otherwise, Wing wouldn't have valued him.

But...

Gon and Killua's talents are even stronger, essentially one in tens of millions!!

The queenly demeanor.

And yet, I still haven't achieved anything."

Using his master's, Biscuit's, words to describe Morin:

"That's the most perfect uncut gem I've ever seen in my life!"

Biscuit was full of amazement when she said this, "There might not be another like it in the world!!"

This evaluation made Wing realize just how terrifying Morin's talent was.

And even now, just how powerful he has become.

It's uncertain if there's even a worthy opponent for him.

Perhaps, even the Hunter Association's Chairman Netero might...
