The Full-time Calendar of 1987 was also the birth year of Gon and Killua.
It was also the year Ging published "Greed Island."
The year when the Phantom Troupe was founded, darkened by Sarasa's death.
The year NGL gained autonomy, completely forsaking mechanical civilization, turning into an agriculture-driven country, laying crucial foreshadowing for the Chimera Ant birth.
It was Roy's year when he unlocked his Acupoints, awakening the Gate of Cognition. Two years later, he passed the Hunter Exam, and during this period, he was observed by the "Divine," planting the curse.
"Tick-tock... tick-tock..." The curse on the back of his hand silently counts down... Nearly a year has passed, and Roy's lifespan has quietly been reduced by eight months... The young man turned into the bathroom, turning his back, "Book the ticket."
He took another shower, and after breakfast served by Wutong, he booked a ticket when the dishes were tidied. Roy casually pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth and held back, "Call the doctor; it's time to commence the lung treatment; I hope to receive the medication soon."
"Anti-Conjuration," like "Conjuration," requires a thorough and deep understanding of the "target manifested object," only then can you use "imagination" to conjure it through "Nenryoku."
Different from Shizuku's "Eyeball Fish," Kurapika's "Chains," Nobunaga's "Four-dimensional Apartment"... Roy, relying on the "Gate of Cognition," freely traverses various worlds, continually strengthening self-discovery, with more and wider manifestations possible but expending far more mental effort than Shizuku, Kurapika, and others.
Just like... after instructing Wutong and letting him leave, Roy attempted to "manifest," conjuring a "carving knife" and "wood" to continue practicing "Divine Characters," trying to engrave his skill "Divine Spear" on the wooden sword,
Only to realize halfway that the "carving knife" was fine, but the "wood" couldn't form despite his efforts. Just then, he heard a door creak, a voice drifted in from the corridor....
"Whether it be the Divine Characters or Nenryoku, they can't be conceived out of thin air. If you don't have enough understanding of what you wish to manifest, mere imagination won't suffice."
The door opened, and Ging pressed down his wind cap as he entered,
He saw the youth holding a carving knife, staring blankly at the bright window awning, dragged a chair and sat next to Roy.
Watching the dawn sky, hearing the citizens gradually bustling downstairs... he stretched out a hand, fingertips gathering into spherical Nen Light, just as he showed Pariston in the original works... elongating, thinning, pressing a card into shape which he then toyed with in his palm, flicking it towards Roy, who caught it mid-flight between his fingers.
Ging lazily draped his hands over the chair's railing, "The 'Art of Paper,' its origin... I once met an origami artist on my journey."
"His name was Murdock, he spent most of his life in paper art, without even realizing he had awakened Nenryoku."
"When I saw him back then, he surprisingly flew over a river about a hundred meters wide in a paper plane he folded himself, nearly falling due to lack of Nen; now that I reminisce... quite fascinating indeed."
"So you stole his Nenryoku?" Roy glanced over.
"Chirp—" Feythia came out from Ging's shoulder, flopping up and down in Roy's hair, cuddling up to Jinx, which swatted it away with a wing disdainfully.....
"Borrowing isn't stealing," Ging acted unaware of Roy's disdain, earnestly speaking: "I'm only reminding you, manifestation isn't unbounded. Murdock loved paper, was infatuated with it, thus his mastery in manifesting paper was effortless."
Love... narrow yet broad...
'Because I don't love wood, nor do I have a deeper understanding of it, thus the foundation for "imagination" to become "reality" eludes me?' Roy frowned silently.
Ging closed his eyes, basking in the sun beside him without speaking, until a breeze rolled a leaf onto the windowsill, he sighed, "You're still young, there's no need to rush; a manifestation could take days, months, even years."
"Once you fully understand what you wish to manifest, then everything will naturally come together...."
Advice from a top "Conjuration" expert; not unfounded... compared to the ability to manifest various "contracts" and forge unbreakable bonds with magical beasts... Ging's future ascension to one of the world's top five Nen users speaks volumes.
"Maybe you're right." After a moment, Roy pushed back the chair and got up, pacing to the window, watching the dawn fade as the sun leapt forth, its inner hue transforming from red to yellow. He squinted slightly, "But you're wrong about one thing; although I'm young, I don't have that much time."
The youth reflected on "wood," reliant on sunlight for photosynthesis and growth, questioned its difficulty in manifestation, if it genuinely required months, years?
No, under the sun, there are no novelties. Sunlight nurtures all things, naturally... "wood" included!
Roy's gaze flickered... since Tsugikuni Yoriichi could create "Sun Breathing," and from that derive "Fire," "Water," "Wind," "Rock" breathing techniques... First Hokage Senju Hashirama, combining "Water" and "Earth," evolved "Wood Style"....
