The experimental verification on the training ground continued.
After Pairo finished explaining the usage process of his first stage ability, he rubbed his eyes.
This novel and strange feeling made him somewhat unaccustomed for a moment.
Is this a Nen Ability? It's truly amazing.
"So, your first stage ability is to establish a connection with the other person's eyeballs through eye contact, and your two eyeballs are independent entities that can connect to the other person's eyeballs separately?" Kevin asked.
Under the other party's explanation, such conditions were easy to summarize.
Pairo pondered for a moment and nodded.
"In other words, you can use your left and right eyeballs to establish connections with the left and right eyes of different people respectively. That means you can connect to one eyeball of two people simultaneously."
Kevin instantly thought of the effects that Pairo's Nen Ability might cause.
In this way, the effective range of Pairo's Nen Ability is at most two people.
Obviously, Pairo himself had also thought of this point.
"Alright, now that we understand the mechanism of the first stage, what abilities will there be after the connection is completed?"
It certainly couldn't just be establishing a simple connection. This is just the starting activation condition; the point is what can be done to the other person after the connection is successful?
This is the key to Pairo's Nen Ability.
Pairo thought for a moment, but gently shook his head.
"I… I'm not too sure. I can feel that my two eyeballs and Kurapika's two eyeballs have established some kind of connection, and I should be able to do something.
"But only after actually trying will I know exactly what I can do; otherwise, I cannot judge." Pairo said cautiously.
Kevin nodded, signaling that he understood, and then looked at Kurapika.
Kurapika said straightforwardly: "No problem, go ahead and try."
He had enough trust in the other person.
Pairo quickly said: "Although I don't know exactly what this ability is, I can judge whether it is aggressive or not. Even if it is aggressive, I should be able to control it, just like when I established the connection just now."
He could still feel this, after all, he had no thoughts or desires to attack, and Nen Ability is usually governed by willpower.
Kevin nodded; since both agreed, the experiment could begin.
Logically speaking, for the sake of safety, one should find a random outsider to test on, or even if afraid of danger, go to a prison and drag out a death row inmate.
Pairo nodded and closed his eyes again.
Kurapika stood to the side, vigilantly watching for any anomalies on his body.
However, he still didn't feel anything.
Could it be that my training is insufficient? Kurapika muttered to himself.
Otherwise, why can't I feel anything?
At this moment, although Pairo had his eyes closed, he could "see" clearly.
But the scene he "saw" was no longer the scene in front of him, but the scene that Kurapika was seeing.
He "saw" himself through Kurapika's eyes.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
He tried opening one eye, and sure enough, from the moment that eye opened, the scene he saw changed back to the view in front of him.
But his other closed eye could still "see" the scene that Kurapika was seeing.
This feeling was extremely strange, as if his brain had been divided into two parts.
This peculiar visual experience made Pairo somewhat unaccustomed, but it was not enough to make him feel dizzy or nauseous.
He thought to himself that if he underwent specialized training, he should be able to gradually adapt to this situation.
However, was this ability really just that?
If his Nen Ability was just this, Pairo would feel very disappointed; this was not the powerful ability he had hoped for.
This is not the power that can enable him to achieve revenge.
Because this is clearly a Nen Ability used for stealing information and gathering intelligence.
At least in Pairo's view, it was a bit weak. If it were just this, it would be better if he wasn't of the Specialization System, and let himself build his own Nen Ability.
If Nen Ability reflects inner desires, then this is obviously not the ability he has always craved.
Could it… really not be it?
He couldn't help but recall the past, when his eyesight was getting worse and worse, and he truly longed to be able to see more clearly.
He even made a promise with Kurapika, who was about to leave, to let him see the outside world on his behalf.
He also wanted to go outside and see at that time, but his legs, his eyes, and his weak body simply did not allow him to perform such actions.
From this perspective, this seems to be the Nen Ability he once wanted, but it is not what he needs now.
What he wants now is the powerful strength sufficient to support his revenge.
Pairo closed his eyes again, observing the surroundings through Kurapika's field of vision, completely "seeing" from Kurapika's perspective.
He couldn't control anything, nor could he change anything; he could only "see" what Kurapika saw.
He was simply stealing the other person's vision.
"Stealing the other person's eyes?" This thought flashed through Pairo's mind, and he found it somewhat ironic.
He shook his head, cast aside these distracting thoughts, and continued to focus on exploring his Nen Ability.
In the process of continuous exploration, he finally discovered some unusual things.
This was not just simply sharing the field of vision with the other party; he seemed to be able to make some subtle modifications to the scene the other party was seeing.
Thinking of this, Pairo decided to give it a try.
"Hmm?"
Kurapika was stunned for a moment, because in his field of vision, a small heart suddenly appeared on Neon's head.
Subsequently, this change became more and more obvious.
Pink heart-shaped bubbles started to constantly emerge from Neon's body.
Finally, pink hearts even appeared in Neon's eyes when she looked at herself, looking just like the special effects shown in anime.
This obviously did not conform to a normal visual scene.
"Did you do this, Pairo?" Kurapika turned his head to look at Pairo beside him and asked.
At this time, although Pairo had his eyes closed, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"How is it? It's interesting, right? Don't move yet, stare at me."
Kurapika nodded obediently and stared intently at Pairo's face.
After a while, he saw Pairo open his eyes.
"And then? Watch how you open your eyes?" Kurapika asked in confusion. After waiting for a long time, he didn't notice any peculiar changes like before.
Kurapika didn't notice the change, but the three people, Kevin and the others, standing to the side, saw the anomaly.
Because at this moment, Pairo was actually still keeping his eyes closed.
Kevin understood instantly.
Could this be some kind of illusion, a deceptive phantom?
From the moment Pairo started making eye contact with Kurapika, Kevin had been thinking about what kind of Nen Ability would be generated through eye contact, and at this moment, he had some clues.
Pairo just asked Kurapika to stare at him, combined with Kurapika's series of behaviors just now.
Could it be sharing the other person's field of vision, and then performing hallucinatory deception?
Kevin pondered, almost analyzing Pairo's Nen Ability in general.
In Kurapika's field of vision, Pairo's opened eyes blinked at him.
Immediately after, the eyes suddenly disappeared, and Pairo returned to the closed-eye state.
But this was different from normal closed eyes; the opened eyes dissipated directly like a gust of wind.
This strange visual change immediately made Kurapika react. Just like the heart bubbles appearing on Neon's head earlier, this was definitely Pairo's doing.
"Are you changing what I see?" Kurapika asked, while at this moment Pairo had already withdrawn his Nen Ability.
He opened his eyes again, looked at Kurapika, and a smile appeared on his face.
If it were just simply stealing the other person's field of vision, Pairo felt that this ability was a bit weak.
But if he could change what the other person was seeing while stealing their field of vision, it would be a completely different story. Just this one ability alone raised the level of the entire Nen Ability by a lot.
Although the things that could be changed currently were very subtle, such as adding an eye, or having some colorful little bubbles emerge, and so on.
He still couldn't make his entire body disappear from the other person's field of vision.
But he could create the illusion that he was throwing a right punch, while the opponent saw him throwing a left punch. In this way, the value of this ability was greatly enhanced.
This made Pairo very satisfied.
This is an absolute lethal weapon in battle.
Whether it is fighting alone against others, or providing collaborative assistance in the process of battle.
This allows his ability to exert fatal effects, just needing that split-second change.
Watching the two complete the experiment, Kevin walked over.
Everyone here was a trusted person, so Kevin directly asked Pairo to explain his understanding of his own Nen Ability.
After listening to Pairo's detailed account, Kevin nodded; it was about the same as he had guessed.
He also gained further understanding of the characteristics of Pairo's Nen Ability.
"So, apart from the first stage where marking is required, you can mark a maximum of two people's eyeballs, and it must be one left and one right, right?"
Pairo nodded, listening to Kevin summarize for him; after all, Kevin had much more experience.
Kevin then asked: "Then, can you mark more people and then choose whose vision to connect with?"
Pairo shook his head and answered directly: "No, there are only two connection slots, and one eyeball corresponds to connecting with one of the other person's eyeballs."
Understood, it is impossible to connect to multiple people and switch vision at will.
The connection for each eyeball is fixed; if you want to connect to a new target, you need to remove the original mark first.
Fortunately, removing the mark is very convenient; as long as Pairo wants to, he can do it at any time without needing any further contact with the other person.
Although there are limitations, they are not significant and are completely within an acceptable range.
"Besides this question, I have another critical one. If you only connect one eyeball with the other person, is the image you modify limited only to what that eyeball sees?"
"You should understand the importance of this question. Humans have a pair of eyes; if you only modify the image seen by one eye, the other person will easily notice something amiss, and it will seem very strange."
After all, for an illusion to be fatal, it needs to be convincing enough to pass for the real thing.
Hearing this question that he hadn't yet had time to consider, Pairo simply closed one eye.
Kurapika felt again that the things he saw before him were being modified; this time, only the color of the cup had changed.
The cup was originally transparent, but now a layer of red overlapped it, and the red was too obvious; the two colors overlapped, creating a phantom-like illusion.
This peculiar visual effect was also synchronized to Pairo; following the principle of controlling one eye to change while the other remained unchanged, he personally experienced the image that Kurapika was seeing.
Subsequently, Pairo shook his head regretfully: "You cannot use the image from one eye to simultaneously modify the images seen by both eyes."
"To achieve a convincing effect, you need to close both eyes, and each eye must be connected to the left and right eyeballs of the same person, respectively."
This is one of the limitations of his Nen Ability.
Kevin nodded; this was a very reasonable limitation and was within expectations.
After all, the basic mode of Pairo's Nen Ability is one eyeball connecting to another; based on this basic condition, some limitations can be inferred.
"However, don't be discouraged. In intense combat, if you suddenly modify the image seen by one of the opponent's eyeballs, it will also severely interfere with their judgment."
Simply put, this single-eye modification ability has a "first-encounter kill" effect.
When the battle is in full swing, if the opponent suddenly sees themselves throwing both a right punch and a left punch, this overlapping image will lead to misjudgment, making them think the opponent is punching with both hands at the same time.
In battle, such a misjudgment can very likely turn the tide.
Furthermore, if you perform a single-eye modification first, letting the opponent notice and think they have cracked the ability, that is the moment to change both of their eyes simultaneously.
This can pose a fatal threat to the enemy.
However, judging from Pairo's current speed of modifying images, he still needs to strengthen his training before he can quickly play a role in actual combat.
Pairo pondered for a moment and felt that what Kevin said made sense.
Experienced people really handle Nen Ability differently; they can quickly think of various ways to use it.
"Regardless, this is a quite good Nen Ability; you must cherish it well and work hard to develop it; it will definitely be very powerful in the future."
Kevin said with a smile.
Moreover, as Pairo's strength continues to increase, the range and degree of his image modification will definitely improve accordingly.
By then, perhaps he will be able to completely control the opponent's vision.
Although there might be misalignments in touch, taste, etc., for normal people, vision is always the most important sense.
People tend to trust what they see the most; as long as it is modified delicately and cleverly, a perfect deception can be achieved.
The simplest application is to achieve invisibility in the eyes of others.
Pairo named his Nen Ability "Elegy of the Scarlet Eyes"; the meaning behind this name is self-evident.
It both reflects the special significance of eyeballs to him and hints at the helplessness and sorrow of having them stolen.
He also specifically called the ability used to modify the opponent's vision "Cursed Grudge".
After finishing learning about Pairo's Nen Ability, Kevin let him and Kurapika go train on their own, and Neon curiously leaned over.
She also wanted Pairo to try this ability on her eyes; she was just too curious about what kind of performance this magical Nen Ability would have.
They played around for quite a while before Kevin called them back.
"Now, I will explain to you in detail some special details and functions of each category. Whether you are developing your own Nen Ability or encountering enemies in the future, this knowledge will be helpful."
Although Pairo has already awakened his Nen Ability, Kurapika and Rosanna still need to construct their own.
"First, let's talk about Rosanna's Emission System."
Kevin looked at Rosanna and said: "Reaching 100% efficiency in the Emission System means that the aura you release will have the same effect as when it is inside your body; there will be no attenuation."
After speaking, Kevin picked up a wooden board from the side to demonstrate personally.
"Look, I am using aura of the same intensity."
Kevin condensed aura at his fingertips, reached forward slightly, and tapped lightly on the wooden board.
A hole appeared in the wooden board where it had been pierced through.
Next, Kevin increased the distance and shot this aura out.
Only a small dent appeared on the wooden board, and it was not pierced through.
"See? You can clearly feel that the effect of the aura inside my body and the effect after it is shot out have attenuation. The strength of the aura I used both times was the same."
Rosanna nodded, indicating she understood.
"The applications of the Emission System can generally be divided into three major categories: Nen Bullets, Nen Beasts, and Space."
"Nen Bullets, I think you can easily understand; it is simply releasing aura, just like firing bullets—simple, direct, and the power is not to be underestimated."
"Nen Beasts, as the name implies, is releasing aura to form various objects of different shapes to assist you in achieving your goals."
"Space, although it sounds a bit abstract, because the Emission System can allow aura to leave the body with 100% efficiency, it can create effects related to space."
"Such as teleportation, spatial exchange, opening up space, connecting different spaces, etc."
"Except for the Specialization System, these effects can basically only be achieved by the Emission System."
The few of them listened with full attention.
They didn't expect that seemingly ordinary Nen Ability categories would have such large differences between them.
Kevin briefly described the characteristics of the different Nen Ability categories for them.
When talking about the Conjuration System, Kevin looked at Kurapika: "The Conjuration System also has some connection to me, so I have some experience in this regard."
"First, it must be clear that conjuration must conjure an object, and this object is usually something that actually exists, a tangible item that even a Nen User could see."
"What do you want to conjure? Looking at your expression, you should already have an idea."
Kurapika nodded; the moment he tested that he was of the Conjuration System, he had an idea.
"Then I will tell you about the characteristics of the Conjuration System, which are magnifying rules and establishing rules. It sounds a bit mysterious, but it is actually very easy to understand."
Kevin explained it simply, just like he had summarized and categorized it before.
After hearing it, Kurapika understood it easily and nodded.
Now, he had a preliminary conception of his own Nen Ability.
However, due to the previous agreement, he could only temporarily hide these thoughts in his heart.
Kevin looked at him and said: "Although I do not allow you to construct a Nen Ability within a year, you can learn more about the things you want to conjure in your spare time."
"You need to reach a level where when you think of its name, the item seems to already be presented before your eyes."
Simply put, it was to let Kurapika prepare in advance.
After explaining all this, Kevin looked at the three of them, and his expression became serious.
"Now, let us talk about your special trait—the Scarlet Eyes."
