Ep 14. A x Hard x Master
- January 20, 2013
Gon and Killua are continuing their training in NGL with Biscuit. They have been improving their physical strength, endurance and techniques. However, they sense that Biscuit is still holding back and not giving them her full strength. They ask her to stop holding back and show them her true power. Biscuit finally agrees, and takes them to a rocky mountain.
Biscuit then declares that they will be pushing a giant stone up the mountain. The catch is that the stone weighs ten tons, and they will only have 14 days to push it to the top. The rocky terrain, other hazards, and exhaustion make this task very challenging. Gon and Killua bring all their physical and mental strength to push the stone up the mountain. Biscuit supervises and guides them, but refuses to step in and help.
As the days pass, the boys continue to push the stone with unwavering determination. Even when they are injured or exhausted, they refuse to give up. However, on the 10th day, their pace starts to slow down, and they begin to question if they can make it to the top in time. Biscuit notices their worries and reminds them to stay focused on the present.
On the 12th day, a group of thugs tries to steal the boys' supplies, and Biscuit challenges them to a fight. The fight scene showcases Biscuit's true power, and the thugs are quickly defeated. This inspires Gon and Killua to continue their push, and they regain their momentum.
The final stretch of the climb to the top of the mountain is particularly challenging, as the boys' bodies are pushed to their limits. But through sheer willpower, they make it to the top with just minutes to spare. When they reach the top, they realize that Biscuit had been monitoring their progress and adjusting the weight of the stone to ensure that they were always pushing their limits.
Biscuit then reveals that their training is not over yet. They must now learn a special technique known as "Ryu." This technique combines Nen, the life energy force, with physical movement and emotions. Ryu is necessary for advanced combat, and it is a crucial step in becoming a successful Hunter.
Overall, this episode showcases the boys' physical and mental fortitude as they overcome obstacles and push themselves to their limits. It also introduces a new challenge, Ryu, which will prove to be an important aspect of their training as they continue their journey to becoming top-class Hunters.
