Upon returning to the village, Rin had already let go of his uncomfortable feelings, his small face looking calm. However, his right cheek was swollen, making him look quite alarming.
Despite the injuries from the real combat, there were gains.
At the very least, he had learned to manipulate the energy flow within his body. Although it was minimal, under the cover of that slight amount of energy, his small body could burst out with the strength equivalent to that of an adult.
“Kuroro, now that I can initially use ‘Ten’ to manipulate the energy within my body, let’s check which type of Nen I belong to.”
As they were about to enter the village, Rin’s complexion greatly improved. After thinking for a while, he turned to Kuroro and said.
“Mm, the effect of the real combat is indeed good. But if Rin doesn’t like it, there’s no need to engage in such battles anymore.”
Hearing Rin’s words, Kuroro first nodded, then lowered his head and said calmly.
In response, Rin shook his head and said solemnly,
“It doesn’t matter. If we’re in this world, I’m afraid we’ll have to deal with these things sooner or later. It’s better to get used to it early.”
“Besides… those were a bunch of deserving guys. It doesn’t mean much to me…”
After speaking, he walked ahead, Kuroro paused, then followed.
When they arrived in the village, they happened to meet the village chief, Koshin Kouichiro.
Despite it being winter, he still left his collar open, exposing his dark chest hair.
Usually looking quite stern and mature, Kouichiro’s face changed drastically upon seeing Rin’s swollen face, and he hurriedly ran over, exclaiming,
“Lord Rin! What happened to you?”
Hearing his question, Rin awkwardly smiled, waved his hand, and said softly,
“It’s nothing, just a minor issue. By the way, Chief Kouichiro, please keep a close watch on those bandits.”
“If you can get some information about their hideout from them, that would be even better. I’ll leave this task to you.”
Hearing Rin’s words, Kouichiro, for the first time, felt a sense of responsibility from being entrusted with an important mission. He immediately stood up straight and said respectfully,
“Don’t worry, Lord Rin. We will definitely complete your orders seriously!”
In response, Rin just smiled lightly, then returned home with Kuroro.
When Rin returned home, it caused another round of exclamations.
Sitting by the warm hearth inside the house, Rin leaned gently against the wall. Next to him, Keiko was carefully applying a clean cloth soaked with medicinal water to his small face.
Nearby, Shiokko and Haku were watching nervously.
Pikachu was nestled in Rin’s arms, holding his clothes with its small paws and looking up at him with a sad face.
“Don’t worry, Pikachu, I’m fine.”
Rin said softly, trying not to displace the cloth on his right cheek, gently stroking Pikachu’s little head.
Seeing this, Keiko looked at him with a mixture of helplessness and affection, saying gently,
“How did you get hurt like this, Rin? Don’t forget, you’re still a child. Even if you’re training with your master, you shouldn’t disregard your body like this.”
Obviously, Keiko thought Rin got this way from training with Kuroro.
In response, Rin just nodded gently without explaining.
The medicinal herbs were very effective. They improved Shiokko’s mother’s condition and significantly healed Rin’s facial injuries by evening, making them look much less scary.
When Eiji returned home in the evening, he was quite shocked to see Rin’s condition.
He tried to persuade Rin not to continue the harsh training with his “master.”
After all, in their eyes, ninjas or wanderers were always involved in life-threatening activities.
Rin kept refusing his uncle’s persuasion, feeling tired from lying.
After dinner, in the room shared by Rin and Kuroro, the candlelight flickered.
Kuroro had prepared a cup filled with water in front of Rin, with a green leaf floating in the center of the water surface.
This was for the Water Divination test that Rin had asked Kuroro to conduct to determine his Nen type, similar to the Chakra nature test.
With everything ready, Kuroro said calmly,
“Rin, release your aura and touch the cup with your hands.”
Hearing this, Rin’s small face showed a very serious expression as he nodded.
Then he extended his hands, and an invisible aura was slowly manipulated within his body to his hands, as if holding the cup from both sides.
Kuroro, who was in front of him, was also seriously watching the changes in the cup.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing my Nen type!”
Rin suddenly said softly with an expectant tone.
Just as his words fell, the situation in the cup changed, causing Kuroro’s deep eyes to narrow slightly.
The water in the cup suddenly overflowed, and inside the cup, small black crystalline particles appeared.
The water’s color began to turn into a deep, blood-like crimson.
Simultaneously, the floating green leaf on the crimson water surface seemed to be controlled by someone. It rotated slowly, creating a bizarre scene.
Even Rin himself widened his eyes, staring in amazement.
Although Kuroro was slightly stunned, he didn’t hesitate. He quickly dipped a finger into the crimson water and brought it to his lips, saying softly,
“It tastes like blood…”
At this moment, Rin had stopped, no longer touching the cup. Like Kuroro, he tasted a bit of the water and found the taste of iron and blood filling his mouth.
“What’s going on? This state seems abnormal!”
Rin looked at Kuroro with a puzzled expression.
Kuroro nodded slightly and explained calmly,
“It is indeed strange. According to the Water Divination test for determining Nen types…”
“Generally, an increase in water volume indicates Enhancement, a change in water taste indicates Transformation, crystalline particles in water indicate Conjuration, a change in water color indicates Emission, and leaf movement indicates Manipulation.”
“As for Specialization, it’s marked by results different from the other five.”
Rin nodded, recalling the explanations from the anime.
But now, what’s surprising is, what does his result indicate?
“So what am I? I seem to exhibit all five types, except Specialization. Could it be that I am…”
Rin paused, suddenly remembering that Kurapika, who sealed Kuroro’s abilities, was also capable of all types.
“Am I an all-type user?”
Hearing Rin’s words, Kuroro was slightly taken aback, then lightly pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and said calmly,
“It’s hard to say, but Rin’s potential in all six Nen categories is indeed surprising. Given the current situation, it is hard not to believe.”
Rin was slightly stunned, then remembered that Kuroro might not be aware of Kurapika’s all-type potential, so he said nothing more and just nodded quietly.
His mouth then curved into a smile, his small face showing a hint of excitement and anticipation.
“It seems I am indeed an all-type user. I can’t wait to see what my Nen ability will be like…”
