Chapter 2

"What's in the forest?"

Ilmi held a handful of sand, staring blankly at Illumi.

"Ants, bees, bears, snakes, many things."

Illumi played with the toy car in his hand and threw it into the sand out of boredom.

"Have you encountered them?"

Ilmi picked up the toy car he had thrown, filled the car with sand, and looked back at Illumi, asking.

"No."

His answer made Ilmi frown in confusion.

"If you haven't encountered them, how do you know there are these things in the forest?"

Illumi didn't answer, plopped down in the sand, and looked at Ilmi.

"Ilmi, in three days, we will start our training."

"Are you ready?"

"Of course," Ilmi nodded indifferently and asked him.

"What about you?"

Illumi shrugged, not caring.

"Me too."

Since he came to this world and learned that he was a member of the Zoldyck family, he had always been mentally prepared for this.

"Let's go back, I've had enough fun."

Illumi got up, patted the sand off his buttocks, and looked at the female maid who was always in charge of supervising them.

"Take us back, Delica."

"Hey, Young Master Illumi."

The curly-haired maid immediately ran up, took Ilmi's hand, and slowly followed behind Illumi, heading towards the Zoldyck family mansion.

Ilmi still needed someone to take care of him, but Illumi never let anyone hold his hand.

From the playground to the Zoldyck family mansion, it was a ten-minute walk.

"Young Master Illumi, Young Master Ilmi."

"Welcome home."

The door was opened by Zebura, who bowed slightly to the two and smiled, welcoming them inside.

Illumi walked in front, while Ilmi, holding the maid's hand, stepped into the door a step behind.

"Hmm?"

After entering the door, Illumi saw a young man standing behind Zebura. The young man wore glasses, had a cold expression, and was dressed in a tuxedo, looking straight ahead.

"This is the new butler."

Zebura, noticing that Illumi had noticed the young man behind him, introduced him.

"Hello, Young Master Illumi."

The young man bowed respectfully to Illumi, his movements precise.

"I am the new butler, Wutong."

Illumi looked at the familiar face, confirming that this was the Wutong who would be killed by Hisoka in the future.

Without speaking, he nodded and walked past the two, heading towards the corridor inside the hall, with Ilmi following closely behind.

"What do you think of the two young masters?"

Zebura stood at the door, looking at the two small figures, and asked calmly.

"Young Master Illumi is very decisive and steady," Wutong answered truthfully, keeping his eyes straight.

"Young Master Ilmi seems to have a poker face, and I don't know much else."

Zebura took off her monocle, wiped it with a handkerchief, put it back on, and smiled.

"Young Master Illumi is very talented, and everyone likes him."

"If his bloodline were a bit better, I would like him even more."

Wutong's face remained expressionless; he had no right to judge Zebura's personal preferences.

"Ilmi, what are you going to do later?"

In the corridor, Ilmi ran up and walked alongside him.

"I'm going to meditate in my room. You can find your own entertainment."

Illumi glanced at him helplessly; at three years old, Ilmi was just like any other child, very playful.

"Oh."

Ilmi responded with a blank "oh" and continued to walk alongside him, looking indifferent.

At the end of the corridor, they opened the door and entered the room together.

The room had two beds, one for him and one for Ilmi.

The difference was that Ilmi's bed was filled with various toys, while Illumi's bed had only a blanket and a pillow, nothing else.

After entering the room, Illumi took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate with his palms facing up.

Ilmi climbed onto his own bed and played with his toys, occasionally making the sound of toys falling to the ground.

Illumi often meditated.

He knew that in the Hunter world, Nen ability was related to one's innate talent and bloodline, but the mental state of a Nen user was also very important.

Meditation allowed Illumi to feel some of the wonders of this world.

For example, the peculiar aura emanating from Ilmi, which seemed to be a mix of emotions and some kind of energy.

Illumi knew the methods of awakening and cultivating Nen ability.

Illumi also wanted to know his own Nen ability talent, as the speed of Nen awakening was a measure of one's talent.

Of course, this alone could not completely determine how far a person would ultimately go.

From the original story, apart from the Chairman and the Twelve Zodiacs, as well as other Nen users who had mastered the technique of "Circle,"

among the Nen geniuses, the fastest to awaken was undoubtedly the fourth prince of the Kakin Empire, Chelidonyx Huecoro.

From understanding the concept of Nen to sensing the energy of "Ki,"

it took only ten seconds, no, even less, five seconds.

Without a doubt, he was a one-in-a-million genius.

His talent might even reach the level of the main characters Gon and Killua.

Of course, this was just a possibility, as Gon and Killua were forcibly awakened by Kenu, not through natural cultivation.

Moreover, Chelidonyx had been influenced to some extent by the strange egg ritual in the pot before that.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The knocking sound came, and Ilmi stopped playing with his toys, asking towards the door.

"What is it?"

"Young Master Ilmi, it's dinner time."

The maid's voice came from outside the door. Illumi opened his eyes, looked out the window, and saw that the sun had already set.

"Unconsciously, so much time has passed."

He got up from the bed and walked towards the door, where the maid was waiting.

The two young boys walked side by side, with the maid following closely behind, heading to the dining room. Father Silva Zoldyck was sitting at the head of the table, and Grandfather Zeno Zoldyck was also there.

"Ilmi, Ilmi, come and sit down quickly!" Mother Kikyo Zoldyck called out to the two.

Ilmi obediently walked over and sat next to Kikyo, while Illumi walked expressionlessly towards Grandfather Zeno Zoldyck.

"Hey."

He lightly leaped onto the chair and sat next to Zeno Zoldyck.
