Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

There was a hole in the wooden wall of the kitchen, which Law had taken down to make a steamer.

After delivering two batches of steamed buns, more and more people slowly began to gather outside.

They stayed near the broken hole and did not rush in rashly. Instead, they looked at the busy figure inside with eager eyes.

Sanbica came to the kitchen doorway, staring quietly at Law, who was kneading dough with his sleeves rolled up, and noticed the crowd gathering outside the hole.

She stopped for a moment, then turned and left.

Law noticed what the people in the slums needed most now, and Sanbica knew what the people in the slums would need later.

Batch after batch of delicious steamed buns were handed out by Law. Although the steamed buns were nothing special, they were unforgettable to these people teetering on the edge of despair.

…

Night falls.

Law had used up all the ingredients, but the people outside the house were reluctant to leave.

In response to this, Law's approach was simple and crude. He dispersed everyone with just a little bit of his Aura. Before, he had relied on his Aura to maintain order, otherwise, the scene would have been in chaos.

Hungry people will not be satisfied with just one steamed bun, and those who are squeezed outside and cannot come in could easily become agitated even if they are weak and powerless.

In such circumstances, the pressure conveyed by Law's Aura can produce miraculous effects and avoid bloodshed caused by steamed buns.

The ingredients he brought today are gone, but the military would be dropping provisions once a day starting the next morning, and each delivery would be enough to sustain the slum for a day.

The heavy cloud of despair hanging over the slums showed faint signs of lifting.

The large amount of steamed buns distributed not only kept many people alive, but also caused the pages in Law's book to increase dramatically.

The number on the cover had become 326, so the number of pages increased by more than 200.

When making and distributing the steamed buns, Law did hadn't given the matter much thought, and the additional pages of the book didn't particularly excite him. He always felt that this was a natural result.

With the materials used up, Law had already set aside a portion of buns for Sanbica and the others to serve as their dinner.

Sanbica and the others were not idle either. In order to conquer the unknown virus as soon as possible, they had directly procured a corpse of a young man who had died from the infection.

After spending most of the day studying the body, the group of doctors had only managed to make slight progress. If it weren't for Sanbica's occasional guidance, their advances would have been even slower.

With her Nen ability, Sanbica could easily analyze the virus and even directly treat infected individuals. However, that would only address the symptoms, not the cause.

There were too many people in the slum, and her Aura will eventually run out. If she simply uses her Nen Ability to treat them, it would take too long. Therefore, finding a way to neutralize the virus was the only true solution.

This was where the medical team came into play. Sanbica skillfully pointed them in the right direction, ensuring they stayed on course.

The positive progress invigorated the enthusiasm of the accompanying doctors, who immersed themselves in the work wholeheartedly.

At this time, Law brought them the steamed buns. But aside from the volunteers, the other doctors were too absorbed to stop what they were doing.

After lingering for a while, Law left, and Sanbica went out with him.

"Don't you have to stay in there?" Law leaned against the wooden wall outside the house and looked up at the starry sky.

Sanbica said, "Now it's time for special training."

"What?" Law was stunned.

Sanbica suddenly looked at him and said calmly, "Don't you want to learn the method?"

Only then did Law understand.

"Come with me."

Without explaining further, Sanbica turned and walked into the moonlit streets.

Law didn't understand and could only follow Sanbica.

After winding through the maze of low, jagged buildings for about ten minutes, Sanbica led Law into a house. Inside, a young man lay on the floor, barely clinging to life.

The narrow room reeked of foul odors, with a faint scent of blood.

As Law's eyes adjusted to the dim surroundings, he noticed bloodstains on the man's chin and chest.

Even with uninvited guests entering his house, the young man lacked the strength to react, and his eyes just stared blankly at the ceiling.

"He's dying," Sanbica said calmly.

Law didn't say anything, just looked at her profile hidden under the mask.

"I will try to explain as much as I can while treating him, so please listen carefully." Sanbica walked towards the young man who was about to die from the virus.

This mysterious virus, whose name is still unknown, had appeared suddenly. Its incubation period was unpredictable, but once it reached a critical mass, it rapidly dissolved the host's blood vessels and organs, causing death from massive internal bleeding.

As the symptoms become more and more severe, it means that the number of viruses has multiplied a lot. Once the host dies, the number of viruses will reach its peak, which is also the peak period of infection.

Even just touching a corpse lightly can result in direct infection with the virus.

Even so, Sanbica walked towards the infected young man without hesitation. She took off her gloves, and pressed her bare hands on the young man's exposed blood-stained chest. She activated her Nen Ability, and Aura seeped out from her palms, slowly invading the young man's body.

"The effects of Aura will change depending on the user's intent."

"Once my Aura entered his body, it would only take a tiny bit of malice to kill him."

"Therefore, you must be focused and free of distractions, concentrating all your thoughts on a single goal."

"I would imagine transforming my Aura into flowing water and then gently wrapping him."

Sanbica's voice was soft and melodious, like wind chimes, carrying a soothing quality akin to water.

In such a quiet environment, her voice stood out even more, just like the gentle, flowing Aura she exudes at this moment.

The Aura was like a gentle breeze blowing on the face, which made Law subconsciously think of the Angel's Breath from Greed Island.

It is a rare card in the game, and after using it, an angel will materialize, and release a gentle breeze can heal grievous injuries in an instant.

"Let the water-like Aura flow through every part of his body, find the source of harm, and then absorb it into yourself!"

With a focused expression, Sanbica injected her Aura into the young man's body, sweeping up all the unknown viruses, and then sucked them into her palm along with the emitted Aura.

No matter how many viruses are absorbed or how harmful they are, they will be devoured by the many viruses in Sanbica's body, leaving only a 'seed'.

Compared to devouring, the most terrifying thing about her ability is to combine the traits of multiple lethal viruses into a singular entity.

After the unknown virus was eradicated from the young patient, his condition didn't visibly improve. However, the ominous scent of death surrounding him had noticeably weakened, replaced by faint signs of vitality.

"Remember, it is very important to have clear goals in order to get the results you want." Sanbica slowly stood up and explained with her back to Law.

"A clear goal…" Law murmured as he pondered.

Sanbica headed toward the door, and said, "Let's go and find another sick person."

Practical experience was far more valuable than theoretical pondering.

The two left the house and soon found another infected person.

"If your ability focuses on separation, then you must focus solely on separation and not have other distracting thoughts. The reason you failed is probably that you not only thought about separation, but also about control."

Sanbica looked at the infected person in front of her and said, "Go and give it a try."

The so-called clear goal is to encompass everything in a single thought.

For example, if one were to carry a bucket of water, the clear goal would be to understand what the bucket is, what the water is, and how to carry the water properly...

"Focus solely on separation..."

Law walked to the patient, slowly squatted down, and used his Nen Ability on the patient.

He followed Sanbica's advice, concentrating his thoughts into a single, undistracted focus!

The Aura formed he emitted began to take shape, spreading softly but powerfully.

If Sanbica's Aura was gentle and nurturing like water, then Law's Aura is domineering and overbearing.

Feeling the faint yet overwhelming dominance in Law's Aura, Sanbica's eyes slowly widened.
