Chapter 2: Awakening I

.........

"And like that, I used her as bait to get all my targets in one place, hehe it was a beautiful massacre, ah I can't wait for you two to perform such an amazing art."

And like that a year passed, I and Illumi are sitting next to our mother in the family room.

This is one of the only places where I see him, both of us have our own room, I guess they don't want us to grow attached to each other.

Not that it's possible with our personalities since I noticed that for how old he is, he's quite cold, I guess with a little bit more training he'll become the Illumi that I know.

I noticed that I have a photographic memory and my thinking process is much better than in my past life, guess my new body comes with a few benefits.

I was able to walk after about two months and a half though it took Illumi four months to perform the same feat.

He pretty much tries to imitate everything I do, that's a benefit of being born in a family of monsters, you're just another monster, a more talented one, and yup that's my mother talking, well what did you expect? A goodnight story?

Language isn't something I needed to fake learning since it's a new language to me anyway.

That's why I made sure to always sit in her lap when she's telling a story from a book and not her 'wonderful' adventures so that I can learn how to read, I pretty much speak fluidly right now and I'm on my way to learn how to read.

I also made sure to drink as much milk as I can since I'm pretty sure that somehow it had poison.

They also had me wear weighted clothes by the third month just when I started getting used to walking, and they kept adding weight as I got used to it, it wasn't that much of a challenge.

I was used to keeping my body quite fit in my past life and hit the gym as much as my busy schedule allowed me to, and most importantly, my current body is quite adaptable.

Illumi's training didn't start until the sixth month which brings me to another benefit of being born in such a family, a training made specifically for me.

I don't know if I can keep my heart rate stable under extreme pressure, but I'm pretty sure if I lie my heart rate wouldn't change.

I tried as hard as I can to get as much control as I can over my body, I managed to stabilize my heart rate at 40 bpm which is an athlete's but I can't seem to pull it any lower for now.

My young body won't allow it, my goal is to be able to stop it with a thought, my dedication to control is paying off..... Control huh, what a nice word.

It also appears that I'm quite talented in the 'art' of assassination, I'm able to lower my presence to such a degree that Illumi can't notice me even while I'm standing next to him.

Also, it seems to my sensing abilities is even better, sometimes I can sense father before he even enters the family room though I don't really think he was trying to conceal his presence.

Control and perception, these are the qualities that define me right now, My aura type will most likely be either manipulation or specialist, either of them is perfect for the Hatsu that I have in mind.

....

I started eating solid food in the second month of my birth and I made sure to eat as much as I can because I'm pretty sure everything in the house is poisoned, and I want to get my poison resistance as high as I can.

Darkness enveloped Kukuroo mountain as the only source of light left is the bright moon up the sky, here I'm on my bed with my eyes closed though nowhere near asleep, it's time to start Nen training.

I had a very good memory in my past life, and even a better one now, so I pretty much remember all the training exercises, especially since I found Nen training system quite interesting.

I'm under a blanket as it's always good to be cautious so I put my hands on each other while bringing my thumb fingers close to each other and then away to sense some kind of pushing force.

I plan to push the limits of my body, being able to fight strong Nen users without using Nen sounds interesting.

After all in a world where people who can push a gate weighing tons at an age less than eleven exists, that's very plausible, and this is a huge difference between my old world and this one.

That leads me to believe that a difference of constitution is bound to exist, or does Nen come into play here? That's another question waiting to be answered.

Anyway I started to concentrate on sensing a pushing force as I slowly kept moving my fingers away from each other.

I always found it easy to concentrate especially with a goal in mind, and then I started feeling it, a push, a very small push that it's almost unnoticeable.

I kept persisting and following that feeling until I felt it, like a cloak that's covering me, it probably took me a little more than an hour to do that.

It appears I'm quite talented, I'm probably at the level of Gon and Killua, perhaps even a bit more talented.

I can clearly sense it, though it feels a little bit hard to control, yup this is not normal, being able to sense my aura this clearly just after my awakening.

Being this talented makes me even more resolved to go through with my Hatsu idea, though it's not immediate results kind of Hatsu, the potential is infinite and unrivaled.
