Silva's true strength was unknown even to his son, Killua. Killua only knew that any enemy he considered formidable was utterly weak against his father. He held Silva in great awe, respecting his power. Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio felt similarly. While they didn't know Silva as well as Killua, as the head of the Zoldyck family and Killua's father, his strength should surpass Loki's. However, they were more interested in seeing Loki's true strength.
"In the fight between Loki and Killua's father, will Killua's father use Nen?" Leorio asked Kurapika uncertainly.
Kurapika nodded. "Of course. Even the Zoldyck butlers… the Zoldycks, as masters, must use Nen."
"Nen? What's that?" Killua asked, turning to them.
Leorio and Kurapika were surprised.
"Killua doesn't know?" Gon asked, equally surprised.
They assumed Killua knew about Nen but hadn't learned it yet. They were wrong.
Killua became annoyed. "Tell me! What's Nen? I've never heard of it."
Kurapika explained, and Gon added some details. Killua realized, "You mean Loki uses Nen? Did he use Nen to defeat me?"
"Probably," Kurapika replied uncertainly. They weren't sure if Loki had used Nen.
Gon wanted to tell Killua he hadn't sensed anything unusual from Loki, suggesting he hadn't used Nen. But seeing Killua's newfound excitement at the possibility that Loki used an ability he didn't know, Gon decided against it.
'Let's pretend I don't know,' Gon thought.
"What's wrong? You seem strange," Killua said, turning to Gon.
"Uh… nothing… nothing, Killua. You're imagining things. Watch Father and Loki's fight!" Gon stammered, his lie unconvincing. Killua, sensing no malice, let it go.
Gon finally focused on Loki and Silva.
Boom!
An inexplicable wave erupted, creating a powerful storm in the underground space. The wind from both men clashed. Invisible waves spread beneath their feet, creating a violent wind.
Even at the edge of the training grounds, the four felt immense pressure. They felt a strange weight on their chests, making it difficult to breathe.
'Such powerful aura. This is Loki's true strength,' Killua thought, realizing Loki hadn't been serious before. The aura was as strong as his father's.
'He wasn't serious before! Damn it, the gap is so huge…' Killua clenched his fists. Gon gripped his backpack straps tightly, his forced calmness betraying his inner turmoil.
Before the fight began, the clash of auras created a terrifying spectacle. Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio had never seen anything like it. This was beyond their comprehension.
Gon watched intently.
"They moved!" Leorio exclaimed.
Everyone focused.
Loki moved first, Nen erupting beneath his feet. Using Ken, he moved so fast that Silva was startled. His speed created a whooshing sound from air friction. A faint afterimage rushed towards Silva. To Gon, Killua, and the others, Loki had teleported.
Killua sweat beaded on Killua's forehead.
Loki punched, Nen gathering on his fist. Silva gathered Nen in his left hand. Their fists collided, their Nen clashing violently. Neither moved.
Loki kicked with his left leg; Silva countered with his right. Nen flowed rapidly, gathering at the point of impact. They used Ryu.
Bang bang bang bang!
Numerous air blasts echoed in seconds. Invisible waves spread outwards, like ripples in water. While not as powerful as the aura clash, the shockwaves from their blows spread outwards. Loki's cloak billowed; Silva's silver hair surged.
Loki grabbed Silva's right fist with his left, and Silva grabbed Loki's right fist with his left. They stood still, their Nen clashing. The power was even more terrifying.
"This… is a Nen user's fight…" Leorio's suitcase fell. He was still reeling from the speed and power.
They had moved and attacked too quickly to see clearly. The wind from their clash blew past their faces.
"Amazing!!!" Gon stared intently. Killua and Kurapika were silent. Loki and Silva were on a different level.
Silva was surprised. A newly awakened Nen user displaying this strength? He knew more than Gon and the others—when Loki awakened Nen, when Netero took him as a disciple, and how long he'd trained. He was as shocked as they were.
'A monster kid. He reached this level in just over a month…'
Silva thought Netero was right to ask Zeno to test Loki. This talent was awe-inspiring.
