After saying that, Long ruthlessly threw the towel at him, "Since you're awake, wipe yourself..."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to jump off the car.
He glanced at the crowd outside the carriage and said calmly, "Let me remind you, this circus isn't doing well. The fact that the ringmaster just picked up a stray dog from the roadside is undoubtedly adding to the burden on the circus... If you want to stay in the circus, try to get along with them."
"You...are really...heartless..."
Hisoka sighed softly when he saw that Oboro was abandoning him.
"Tsk!"
Oboro clicked his tongue. He really didn't get along with Hisoka... and didn't have a good impression of him...
At such a young age, one can already see the shadow of a future pervert in his expression.
Then, Oboro jumped out of the carriage.
Hisoka propped himself up on his arms and used a wet towel to clean his body.
Then, resting his chin on his hand, he peered through the door, scanning each figure in the group as if scrutinizing and observing, or perhaps gathering information...
2. Not friends
After arriving in Gram Garland, the circus settled into the venue for their upcoming performance.
Captain Moritonio originally planned to take Hisoka to the hospital for treatment, but seeing that Hisoka seemed to be able to move on his own, he simply went to a clinic for a simple bandage.
The group members were all somewhat surprised by the boy's tenacious vitality.
After all, when he met Hisoka, he seemed to be on the verge of death.
It's only been a few days?
However, no one was paying attention to Hisoka, a newcomer. They needed to prepare for the performance the day after tomorrow. The members had already started rehearsing in the venue according to the leader's requirements, striving to avoid any mistakes on the day of the performance.
Their circus has many performers, including fire-breathing, acrobatics, and animal taming—you name it! But the most famous is the ringmaster Moritonio's signature act, 'aerial swimming,' which means the performer can defy gravity and fly briefly, walking on flat ground at high altitudes.
In Oboro's eyes, which had already figured out the whole story, it turned out that the leader was using his Nen ability to attach himself to the building.
Moritonio's psychic attribute has a 'magnetic' effect.
At the same time, Oboro also remembered that his leader was not only a serial killer, but also a competitor who took the Hunter Exam in the same batch as Ging Freecss. Unfortunately, only Ging Freecss stood out in that year's exam.
Furthermore, what happened during that time is unknown to outsiders... In any case, King Freecss left a great shadow on the leader, causing the old man to seemingly give up his dream of becoming a hunter and instead become a wandering performer, thus creating this circus.
"Yo!"
The day before the performance, Oboro was washing clothes in his room when he heard a familiar noise behind him.
He didn't need to turn around to know it was Hisoka.
Hisoka leaned halfway against the doorframe, looking at Oboro who was ignoring him, and smiled nonchalantly, "Everyone in the crew has a special skill or two. What about you? What can you do? Wash clothes?"
"..."
"Are you bored? Why don't you go back to the venue and secretly watch their performances to learn from them?"
His face was expressionless.
Since arriving at the performance venue, Hisoka has been observing the performance techniques and methods of each member.
Long knew very well... this kid was studying!
Judging from Hisoka's future strength and performance, his learning ability is outrageously strong.
"Hmm... I've seen enough."
Hisoka shrugged.
Oboro's heart skipped a beat.
The implication of these words is simply that... the other party has already learned them all, as if the skills that the members have painstakingly practiced over the years are of no technical value to Hisoka.
"I'm busy... If you have nothing else to do, please leave."
He said in a low voice.
His value in the circus lies in logistical support, as he has only recently joined and, although learning performance techniques, is not yet ready to perform on stage. To survive in the circus, find his place, and avoid being disliked by outsiders, Oboro must be diligent and do odd jobs.
"Hey…"
Suddenly, an arm reached out and draped over Oboro's shoulder from behind.
Hisoka, as if they were old friends, leaned his head closer.
"you
You sneaked out last night... right?
"!!!!!!"
Upon hearing the sound, his pupils suddenly contracted.
He went off to train secretly… In Long's view, he had to seize every second to arm himself and practice the traditional Chinese martial arts provided by the system. For a normal person to lay a solid foundation, it would take a very long time, but with the system, he could greatly shorten the time needed for growth.
Because he knew what was going to happen next... the ringmaster would die at Hisoka's hands, the circus would collapse... and then he would likely have to fend for himself.
"Living with you is definitely not a good thing."
The disgust for Hisoka on Oboro's face became even more obvious.
Yes, when assigning rooms, the leader put him and Hisoka together.
"Hehehe..."
Hisoka laughed and said, "I've never seen your training methods and techniques before... They seem quite interesting. How about you teach me?"
"How about this..."
Long held up a finger. "If you tell me your true origins and background, I will teach you."
His training methods are all specifically designed to strengthen certain parts of the body, such as the legs or arms... The effects are astonishing, far surpassing ordinary fitness exercises. Of course, the side effects are also very serious... Even now, his hands and feet are still incredibly sore.
He just kept it to himself, so outsiders couldn't tell.
"Interested in my background?...I thought you disliked me..."
Hisoka changed the subject, saying, "It's okay... I've already memorized it."
"You're busy, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, the guy waved his hand, turned around, and left.
"So meticulous...are you afraid of giving anyone a handle to use against you?"
Long continued rubbing the clothes, letting out a cold laugh.
He wasn't afraid that Hisoka would tell others his secret, because it didn't matter... the circus was going to close down anyway.
Also... Hisoka doesn't have any friends in the group. It seems that no one likes this kid who always has his eyes narrowed and a smile on his face.
A natural aversion to him.
As for Oboro herself, all I can say is that, because they are of similar age, she was 'helplessly' drawn closer to Hisoka.
……
Grameen is a city of pleasure, a bustling metropolis filled with numerous entertainment venues.
Especially casinos and luxurious upscale clubs and hotels…
This environment has shaped the city, creating a rich entertainment scene and making it a mecca for performers.
Various artists and performers often reside there, including circuses.
The day of the performance has arrived.
The venue, which can accommodate thousands of people, was packed to capacity.
The Moritonio Circus took to the stage amidst cheers from the audience, performing a series of wonderful acts.
The climax of the performance, the loudest cheers, came when Neo, the company commander, was hanging upside down from the stadium ceiling, holding a cane, and walking steadily on the dome.
The crowd below whistled and threw various gifts onto the stage, while Oboro and several other members collected the gifts, banknotes, and coins. Then, they bowed to the audience and quietly withdrew.
As he left the field, Oboro spotted Sissoko sitting cross-legged on the stadium's overhead beams, observing Moritonio with considerable interest.
"This guy...could he have already noticed Nen?"
Oboro's eyelid twitched
.
Ever since he learned of the leader's identity, Oboro had been observing the latter, intentionally or unintentionally.
Including Moritonio, who is currently using his telekinesis, but unfortunately... he cannot sense the flow of Qi, that is, 'telekinesis'.
This requires talent!
Clearly, Hisoka's talent is monstrous!
The day's performance came to an end.
The circus received applause from the locals, and the performance was undoubtedly a success.
"Long...how's your horseback riding coming along?"
That evening, when everyone was having dinner together, the leader looked at Long and asked a question.
"Basic performances are possible."
"Long replied."
"Then... get ready to go on stage tomorrow." The troupe leader nodded.
"it is good."
Because Oboro hadn't been with the troupe for long, she could only learn the simplest performance techniques. Equestrianism was the easiest to learn in the circus, and it involved horse training, including performing various daring and acrobatic stunts on horseback and three-dimensional leaping.
Having lived two lives, Oboro's learning ability, while not comparable to that of a freak like Hisoka, was still quite outstanding.
They work very hard... Neo, as the captain, has seen all of this.
"Isn't it too early?"
Abaci, an orange-haired girl with a ponytail, spoke up.
