A/N: Ey, another chapter. Sorry bout the late update, got a fever that lasted for days and I had to go check myself up for COVID. Which thankfully, I had none. So yeah.

To the reviews:

Mazaxx Manacry: I totally forgot about that part I wrote. Lmao, yeah he should be getting SC from that.

Tianjua15: I never heard of Jed until you said this to me lmao. But no, the Hunter's Association already existed before Netero took over it. Jed I think was the shadow leader of a sub group?? And yeah, I don't think Netero would accept being turned into a Chimera Ant that easily.

Frescko: Well technically he can eat noble phantasms and he would be able to fully mimic their properties. But the question is can he digest them, even with the Chimera Ant's strong digestion track I doubt he would be able to digest them yet. Well, I never played or watched Warhammer40k but if the thing you're talking about can grow into that then he can eat it and transform into that thing. However, he can only transform into if it's surefire to grow into that, he can't transform into evolved beings as well if he just ate the devolved ones.

AnimeA55Kicker: Welp, Zalzamel is assuming something.

RoachVit: Yeah, great idea :). And yes, Phagoallaso is hax.

Thank you all for the kind reviews and encouragements :D!

Enjoy~

We were guided by Stoic Guy into a five-star hotel different from the previous one I stayed in. I sat in the cafeteria gulping down all the food that was given. Surprisingly, A.G was eating a bit slower than me while still frowning(?) at me. The examiner smiled at us and stood up, as he had already finished?! I look around to see Stoic and he was already standing near the door, waiting. I gape at the examiner as he walked to the door. Before he fully walked out, he said to us "Please wait for me in this room, I will discuss with the other examiners about the exam." We nodded at him, and he with Stoic left the room.

After a few moments of silence, sounds of eating resounded. I look smug, as I was done eating, at A.G as she shoveled food faster into her mouth while still glaring at me. She finished and wiped her mouth with a napkin sloppily, I looked around the room and enhanced my senses to see if anyone was watching or eavesdropping.

I threw a chicken leg bone with Enhancement Nen at a hidden camera, it burst into sparks. I then proceeded to destroy the other hidden cameras. I nodded satisfied when there were none left, I turned to A.G who tensed.

"What do you want to talk about?" she asked me still tense and ready to jump away.

I raised my hands in an appeasing gesture "Calm down, I just wanted to ask why a Zoldyck was here."

She looked confused at that "Zoldyck?"

"Wait, you aren't a Zoldyck?" I asked surprised, she looked even more confused.

She looked at me straight in the eye and said "I don't know what a Zoldyck is." Wait, what? I'm pretty sure she must have been a Zoldyck given her features. Heck, I'm pretty sure she looked like what a female Killua would have looked like.

I was debating in my head on what to do now when she asked me seriously "Why did you let me pass?"

I raised my eyebrow at that and said honestly "Well, you woke up faster than the others and I wholly respect the strong. You deserved it." That was true, Netero influenced me into thinking like that as well, although I would like to think I'm not that extreme towards the weak like him. She nodded at that, took a deep breathe and stood up coming closer to me and bowed deeply. "Please, train me." I raised my eyebrows. Bewildered, I tried to make her stand up, she didn't budge.

I put a lot more strength and made her stand up, she tried to bow back down but I stopped her and asked seriously. "Why should I train you?"

She said without blinking an eye "I would give up my body to you."

I almost facepalmed at that, sighing I explained "No. I meant why would you want me to train you?".

She once again stared at me in the eye "I want to find and prove myself to my father and as you are powerful, I would like you to make me stronger."

Family drama? Really? I took a deep breathe, shoving back those thoughts and asked "Why me? Why don't you ask the Stoic Guy or the examiner?" This was my actual question towards her.

She answered, not dropping a beat "Hataraku Enma-san and Martin King-san would not train me after I had answered why I was asking them to train me."

I'm guessing Enma is the old man and Martin is Stoic, but yeah I don't think they would accept a student that said things like a slut or prostitute would. I asked her seriously "Don't I look too young to be teaching you?"

Looking surprised, she asked "Aren't you older than you look?" Wahhh, how'd she know. I think I acted like a petty child, which I absolutely am, earlier.

I nodded, frowning "Fine, just let me decide for a day or so." She nodded and went back to her seat, staring at me. I'll probably only wait for a day or so, to see how she acted. I opened up my backpack and read the Full Metal Alchemist manga.

She stared at me curious. "What's that?" I smiled at her brightly and put another manga at her hand. It would be good to have another person to talk about what you love.


When the examiner returned after 3 hours or so, he looked surprised at the mountains of comics we were reading. We started with a bunch of shounen manga and action packed stuff, in the end we devolved into reading whatever was in our hands as we sped read. We looked up from what we were reading, mine was still Full Metal Alchemist while she was somehow on the Third Book of Harry Potter.

I asked her about the giving away her body thing and her to not 'flirt' with me earlier. She looked confused at that and told me that she meant that she would practice as hard as she could. It seemed that... she didn't know about the birds and the bees? I delivered 'The Talk' to her and she just nodded and went back to reading.

I'm just glad she isn't a fujoshi.

...

Murphy, I love you. Please don't.

While I was pleading to Murphy, the Examiner smiled at us "Congratulations, Examinee #666 and Examinee #404, you have passed the Hunter Exam. The exam will restart however for the people who did not get a chance."

[You have gained 100 SC for causing a minor change.]

Wait what. I ignored the notification for now as we nodded at that. I gave him a thumbs up "Thanks Gramps!", he looked offended and pouted. "You don't look cute when you pout, old man." I blandly told him.

Chuckling, he pulled out 2 Hunter Licenses from his chest pocket and handed each to us. I took it into my hands and inspected it, unlike the geezer's it wasn't etched with gold. In there it had my name in it "Just Zalzamel". I wasn't surprised since the old man registered that as my name in public months ago, perks of the System, I guess. I look over to A.G, and saw her putting away the card and go back to reading her book.

"I will be on my way." He exited the room and shut the door. Hmmm, where's Stoic? I look over to A.G and said "I'm gonna go get a room. You can keep any books you like." She tilted her head and nodded, she gathered some books and put them aside. I packed the leftover books into my backpack and she did the same.

After packing all the books, I picked it up and walked out of the door, I look back in the room and said "Thanks.", she was carrying the books she picked and was behind me, looking stoic. Uhh, yeah it made sense for her to get a room as well. Nobody would want to say in a room filled with just decor and seats when you can just go to a room with a more comfortable setup.

I nodded at her and made my way to the counter. I greeted the receptionist while holding out my Hunter License, "Hello, I would like a room." The seemingly ordinary receptionist looked surprised at the sight of the card but nodded and took it, smiling. I smile at him and asked "So, why are you here, Jim?" He stiffened and killing intent surrounded his aura. Damn, that was pretty strong for a semi-awakened nen user. Used to it (geezer always used that against me in our spars), I was nonchalant about it but someone stiffened behind me. I look back, and I saw that A.G was rigid and alot of other people were shivering. Some guards who looked lazy before sharpened the eyes.

Jim noticed as well, and stopped outputting so much intent in his aura, he apologized "I'm sorry, but who is this Jim you are talking about?"

I shrugged and said "Eh, sorry. You kinda looked the same, as that guy that was in that other hotel." A lie on my part. His appearance have changed drastically but his aura was still the same.

He stiffened very minutely and nodded, smiling. "That Jim guy must be pretty handsome, I must say." I snorted at that and the atmosphere lightened up and he continued doing his work. I took back my Hunter License and the key with the room number he gave me. I walked to the elevator, and went up to the Floor 27.

"Floor 27."


Huhu


After dropping off my backpack, taking a quick shower and a change of clothes, I sat in the bed trying to think of how I gained SC. Why did I only get the SC then, System?

[You have gained SC only recently from your actions as the changes you have made have not been finalized by the world.]

Isn't it a major change that I became the geezer's adopted son?

[No, it was not a significant change in the bigger picture as you merely exist and have not changed Isaac Netero's actions to be or the changes you have made are insignificant that this world has ignored it.]

Huh... Welp, time to hunt for stats. I walked out the room and locked the door. I put the key on my inner chest pocket and walked to the elevator again, I waited for a bit and the elevator doors were opened, no one inside except for the elevator lady earlier. I entered the elevator saying "Ground floor, please." She nodded, professional smile still in her place then pressed the button for the ground floor. As I got out of the elevator, I saw A.G dressed in a different hoodie and jogging pants waiting near the main door occasionally looking up from her book, a manga I picked up that looked quite interesting.

I walked towards the door, and she spotted me. She nodded at me, and I was confused for a bit then nodded back. I walked out the front door, and sensed that her aura was still following behind me. I raised my eyebrow and asked her without looking "So, why are you following me?"

She said blandly "As your student, I must follow you." I look back at her and asked, amused "I haven't said yes, you know?" Truthfully, I still didn't know what to do with her. I haven't taught anyone and I wasn't interested in teaching anyone, but I wanted to flex on the old man about my strong companions, the reason I was even contemplating the thought.

She looked straight at me "My mother told me that I am beautiful and if I pester anyone enough they would eventually accept." said A.G stoically.

Seriously? "There are people who still won't accept even if you are pretty, and seriously stop following me. I'll tell you my answer later. " I said weaving through the crowds of people. I used my En with In to see that she had stopped following me and was walking away but what was with 'Jim' following her around?

That was a lot of bloodlust raging for a secret guard for her, so there goes that theory. I took a deep breathe and sighed to myself, and walked to a nearby alleyway. Seriously, I'm being such a busybody. I hopped on the walls to make it to the roofs silently while using Zetsu. I changed my eyes into that of an Owl's and saw that A.G was walking to a nearby cafe with 'Jim' stalking around the corner looking like a middle aged man with a bald patch. Maybe she can handle fighting with him...

That Jim guy is seriously looking familiar for me, I must have seen him somewhere in my previous life and the vibes I got from him were seriously unsettling. I sat around for an hour at the rooftop and saw that A.G closed her book and was making her way out of the cafe with Jim following behind her after a few seconds or so.

She must have noticed him as well because her body was getting seriously tense and her footsteps were becoming more light. Jim followed behind her looking like he was casually strolling but his pace was seriously fast with other people just brushing by him as if he didn't exist.

Zetsu huh... I jumped through the rooftops and followed them to a secluded alleyway. With A.G putting her book on a nearby box and the Jim guy walking to a stop behind her, knife in hand. They were talking judging by the movements of their lips as I moved to the top of the alleyway.

"Well, you see. I wanted another Hunter on my list and you looked like a delectable treat~.." Jim sing songed as he creepily licked his lips.

Stop, please stop. Dude, you look and sound like a pedophile.

I was cringing at how he acted when A.G surprisingly sighed and nodded. " 'Butcher' Jim Pickens, Age 56, male. Class C Bounty." She said to him as her killing intent drove up in waves overpowering his.

He flinched but his smile was still on his face, becoming wider as he hunched "A hitman? Well, this will be interesting..."

Man, should I have gotten some popcorn? This seriously is playing out like a fight scene. A.G's killing intent suddenly dropped as she burst into movement, her feet gracefully tapping the ground as a hidden blade from her sleeve came onto her hand and pierced through Jim's head. He twitched for a bit, then dropped down when A.G removed the blade from his head and sliced off his head making his neckless body fall to the ground, blood spurting but none getting on her.

She picked up his head which still looked like he was smiling and daintily made her way to where she placed her book, avoiding the blood. She opened the box that her book was on and put the head there and picked up her book leaving through the other side of the alleyway.

Damn, she seems to be used to doing that. I almost whistled but I stopped myself, don't want to spook her. Still, that training she's asking for is really tempting to accept. Yep... Definitely going to train her on Nen, with how strong she is, I'm interested on how she'll be when she has access to it. Still, interesting to see that she seems to be pretty skilled at assassination... Another family maybe? Probably a ninja family if that was the case.

I jumped down the roof into the alleyway musing then I look down at the corpse and I was really tempted to eat it though. Hmmm... I widened my En to the maximum and saw that there were few people within 50 meters. Yeah, going to eat it. I used Phagoallaso to widen my body and mostly my mouth and chomped down on the body.


itadakimasu~


After a few minutes or so, I succesfully ate his entire body including his head and the taste was interesting...? It tasted better than most of what I ate and his aura was especially really good.. But it didn't top cooked food but the gains were seriously high.

[You have eaten a human 'Jim Pickens', 2.5 Endurance, 4.41 Strength, 8 Dexterity, 6 Intellegence and 7.2 Nen has been gained. You can now fully mimic 'Jim Pickens', Memories and Skills of 'Jim Pickens' are now assimilated. Nen Type Transmutation is now at 100% Effectiveness.]

The fact that my Transmutation is now at 100% is already good enough for me but the stat gains are much higher than normal humans. Though Jim is really strong for a non-hunter, he was really good at using and throwing knives. Sabotage, hiding bodies, makeup, disguises flirting and making poison. Perfect for an assasin though I'm surprised he didn't use guns. His memories... were a bit weird. He had 18 children and left them alone to their mothers, one was even a magic beast. There were a lot of the more weirder memories and knowledge in his head that I would not want to go into detail about although I can say his kill count was nearing three digits with many being undiscovered. I wipe off the blood on my cheeks using a tissue box that I always carry around when I'm hunting.

I walk out of the alleyway with the only evidence that a murder happened there were a few splatters of blood on the ground. I wasn't quite full yet so I went on my way to the forests. I weaved through the city roofs once more with a thought hanging on my mind.

Time for some hunting.

Nen Types:

Enhancer - 60%

Transmuter - 100%

Conjuration - 60%

Specialist - 5% Activation Chance

Manipulator- 100%

Emission- 80%

Yeah, the eaten nen type doesn't affect the other nen types. Also if you are wondering Netero has a Strength of 88, Dexterity of 240, Emdurance of 394, Intellegence of 226, with his nen being a whopping 60,000. He might seem to have low stats but a normal human's maximum normal limit to Strength, Dexterity and Endurance is 60 without Nen, not that he qualifies as normal. And please remember Nen can also be used for amping stats.

This is just a guesstimate of mine :P.

Edit: To Tianjua, oh yeah. I actually forgot that Zalzamel only had 20k Nen and he was 1/3 of Netero's own nen. Thanks for the heads up :D
