In the Hunter World, most Nen Ability users possessed power from only one Nen system. This was closely tied to their inherent personalities and their environment from birth. However, some strong individuals, under specific circumstances and influenced intensely by external factors, could develop an additional Nen Ability later in life. They might become Specialists or gain the power to utilize abilities from other systems.
Shalnark was one such special Nen Ability user. This sunny youth originally had Manipulation Type Nen. By inserting the antenna of the “Puppet Phone,” a device he crafted himself, into another person’s body, he could completely control them.
However, in many battles, the truly strong couldn’t be controlled so easily. And the weak who could be controlled posed no real threat to him. Therefore, within the Troupe, Shalnark usually handled intelligence gathering, not dedicated combat duties.
Still, no one who became a member of the Phantom Troupe was truly weak. Shalnark also had his own trump card. But due to physical limitations, he strongly disliked using it.
Right now, under the command of his Apostle master, the puppet doll sewn inside “Shalnark,” which acted as his core, made a slight movement with its finger. It gently pressed a mini-phone the size of a fingernail, held in its hand.
