Reborn in HXH: I Plundered Infinite Traits

"Riku, she seems to have some ulterior motives."

Gon cast a suspicious look at the golden twin-tail loli, Biscuit.

"I think our current group size is just right. Adding another person would be troublesome, especially since she's a girl. Taking care of her would likely be quite a hassle."

Killua agreed deeply, putting on an adult-like expression.

Biscuit's demeanor instantly shattered. The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

What do they mean she'd be troublesome?

And what's this about her being a girl and all that?

"These two little brats... little do they know my age is several times theirs. If I were just a bit ruthless, I could crush them all with one hand. I only chose to join their team because I'm very interested, and to maybe cause a little trouble and turn them against each other while I'm at it... but now..."

Biscuit's demeanor was a mess.

She was indeed shocked by Riku's performance just now, because it was her first time seeing a bomb defused using such directional blasting methods.

She had developed a tremendous interest in Riku.

Of course, she naturally didn't care about joining the team for the sake of it. Her ultimate goal was to disrupt their group, like someone who loves playing pranks.

Turning these boys against each other was one of her greatest joys.

But now, before she even had the chance to tear them apart, did the opponent directly choose to refuse?

It was truly infuriating.

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't be a burden to you. I'm a very mature girl! You can rest assured about that.

Not only that, but I can also take care of you in your daily lives. Letting me join your team won't slow you down; on the contrary, it will make your journey much easier."

Biscuit hurriedly explained.

She was currently quite eager to join Riku's team to get closer to him and truly understand his information!

Moreover.

She sensed a familiar aura from Riku.

This feeling was very peculiar, much like the Shingen-ryu martial arts she practiced!

Wing was her disciple, and his traits had been copied by Riku back then, which included aspects of Shingen-ryu martial arts.

This was one of the reasons Biscuit was very curious.

"Oh? Do you really want to join our team that much? To the point of even cooking for us and taking care of our daily needs?"

Riku looked at Biscuit with a half-smile.

He naturally saw right through this woman's 'ulterior motives'.

However.

According to the original trajectory, Biscuit would become Gon and Killua's mentor, strengthening their Nen training.

To some extent, she was a very excellent free instructor.

At the very least, she could save Riku a lot of trouble.

Even though she had found another excuse to join the team, Biscuit was completely unrelated to anything villainous, evil, or conspiratorial.

Letting her join didn't represent much of a loss for him.

But since the opponent had proactively offered to join and even made concessions, he had no reason not to squeeze some benefits out of her.

"Uh!?"

The corners of Biscuit's mouth twitched. Although she was willing to join Riku's team, when did she ever say she would take care of their daily needs?

What a joke!

She was a Two-Star Stone Hunter!

From past to present, she had never taken care of anyone's daily needs. This guy really knew how to take a mile when given an inch.

But since she had already gone this far, if she refused now, her motives would seem even more bizarre and wouldn't fit the persona she had established.

"O-Of course... as long as you let me join, I will handle everyone's meals. Please rest assured about this!"

Biscuit forced herself to speak, the corners of her mouth twitching.

If she chose to refuse, the two brats who were already suspicious of her would likely become even more so.

It might even cause Riku to develop ideas about her, which was absolutely something Biscuit didn't want to see.

"What's your name?"

Riku looked at her with a half-smile.

Damn it! What do you mean, 'What's your name'? If I weren't interested in you, little brat, I wouldn't suffer this grievance to join your team! I must find out why you have the aura of Shingen-ryu martial arts. Could Wing have taught it to you?

Biscuit clenched her fists and growled inwardly.

But her young, tender loli face forced a harmless smile. "My name is Biscuit!"

At least looking like this, she truly resembled an ordinary blonde loli.

Who could imagine that this girl who looked like a loli was actually a muscular Muscle Barbie?

"Oh, Biscuit, is it? My name is Riku. You can call me Riku-nii. They are Gon and Killua."

Riku introduced himself.

Since this old woman liked to pretend to be young, he would naturally take advantage of it.

Uh... call you Riku-nii?

Kid, you calling me grandma wouldn't even be enough!

Biscuit thought wickedly, but still maintained a kind smile on her face.

"You understand, our team is unwilling to accept weaklings. So, to join our team, there's one final test: you have to spar with me so I can evaluate your strength."

Riku smiled.

Since the opponent had delivered herself to his doorstep, he would surely disappoint her if he didn't partake.

He was just looking for an excuse to deal with this blonde loli.

"Uh? Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Biscuit was stunned for a moment, then an intense joy welled up inside her.

What an arrogant little guy!

Perhaps because he was too young and lacked experience, he hadn't sensed her strength at all. This little guy actually wanted to duel her to test her strength.

Then she would definitely have to show him why flowers are so red!

She had to make him understand the proper respect for seniors.

"Of course! But my strength is very formidable. If I accidentally hurt you..."

Biscuit chuckled.

"No matter. If you can defeat me, then you will be the captain of our three-man squad, and I will follow your arrangements."

Riku said calmly.

"Really!"

"Alright, hehe, then let's have a match! You choose the venue. As for the date, do we need to wait until tomorrow? You seemed to have consumed quite a bit of Nen today."

A wicked smile appeared on Biscuit's loli face.

Since the opponent was so confident, he couldn't blame her for being ruthless.

"There's no time like the present. That little bit of energy consumption has no effect on me. As for the venue, right here is fine. It's spacious and there's no one else around."

Riku said calmly.

Uh!

So arrogant!

Biscuit ruthlessly despised Riku inwardly.

This guy really loved to show off!

"Alright then, I won't hold back. If I accidentally injure you, please don't mind. But I can heal you."

Biscuit smiled confidently.

"Gon, Killua, come over here. Watch this battle between Biscuit and me closely. How much you can learn from it will depend on your own comprehension."

Riku called out to the two.

The two, who had already walked far away, hurriedly trotted back, sitting blankly not far away like two obedient students, their eyes wide open to watch the match.

"Hm!? These two little guys aren't worried about their big brother at all? Do they think this little guy is a match for me?"

Biscuit cast a suspicious glance at Riku.

The two stood facing each other in the outskirts.

The standard starting stance of Shingen-ryu.

As expected!

This little guy really does know my martial arts. Although I'm not the founder of this school, I am highly likely the one with the highest attainments in this martial art right now.

But the feeling this opponent gives off when using this martial art is clearly stronger than my disciple Wing!

"Your martial arts seem very special, quite similar to mine. Is it convenient to tell me where you learned it? I have no intention of pursuing the matter, just very curious."

Biscuit said seriously.

"A friend taught me. Your martial arts are also quite good, Biscuit."

Riku smiled.

He naturally understood Biscuit, Wing's master.

This loli belonged to the first-tier powerhouses just below Netero!

Because Netero was in a tier of his own.

Of course.

That was the original trajectory. But now that Riku had appeared in this world, his current strength shouldn't be too far off from Netero's.

And as time passed, he was steadily surpassing Netero and heading towards a higher realm.

However, Biscuit still belonged to the ranks of the top-tier powerhouses.

Shingen-ryu: Tranquil Heart!

This was the core essence of this martial art: condensing one's heart to the stillness of water.

As long as one sensed any fluctuation in the opponent's mindset, they could instantly detect the aura of the attack, thereby defeating the opponent in the fastest and most concise manner.

Biscuit was clearly an expert in this, but what shocked her was...

She couldn't detect a single flaw in Riku. The opponent's state of mind was like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple, even when facing her.

Neither arrogant nor nervous... perfectly harmonious, completely devoid of flaws!

What an astonishing state of mind!

He's far stronger than that kid Wing, even... Oh no!

When her thoughts reached this point, she realized her own heart lake had already experienced a ripple.

A flaw had appeared in her mind, and the flow of her aura would no longer be harmonious.

As expected.

In that very instant, Riku moved.

Shingen-ryu: First Glance!

The opponent arrived silently in front of Biscuit, and then a seemingly ordinary palm strike descended.

But as a master of this school, Biscuit was shocked inwardly.

The opponent's attack looked ordinary, but it actually carried a sense of natural harmony, riding the momentum!

Riding the momentum allowed a force of one to unleash a level of 5 or even 10.

Shingen-ryu: Gale!

Biscuit was forced to counter forcefully, her hands wrapping in even more aura to strike back.

The two engaged in a simple clash.

A shockwave visible to the naked eye expanded outward from the two of them as the center.

It blew the clothes of Gon and Killua, who were watching nearby, causing them to flutter wildly.

"So amazing! A palm strike clearly with less power actually gained the upper hand? Killua... why is that?"

Gon was incredibly surprised.

His perception was very sharp; he could clearly sense that the power imbued in Riku's palm was clearly smaller than Biscuit's, yet he suppressed her instead.

"I don't know..."

Killua was also full of distress, shaking his head.

Biscuit currently felt as stifled as if she had swallowed a fly.

Because she realized that since the starting stance, she seemed to have fallen into a chain of traps.

Riku's attacks came one after another, rolling in ceaselessly like ocean waves.

And because he had seized upon the slight flaw in her state of mind caused by her eagerness for quick success, the opponent remained at the upper reaches of the mental stream, suppressing her state of mind.

Furthermore, as this suppression continued, Biscuit also felt a hint of pressure and anxiety.

This feeling instantly caused another flaw to appear in her state of mind.

It was like a cracked piece of glass; the opponent kept striking the crack, attempting to make it larger.

What a sharp-eyed guy!!

Biscuit sighed deeply with emotion. She swore this was absolutely her first time seeing Riku.

But this guy was definitely the monster with the best Shingen-ryu martial arts she had seen, besides herself.

Shingen-ryu was all about moving with the heart, acting at will!

Actually, this feeling was somewhat similar to the [Super Intuition] trait Riku had obtained from Hisoka!

Entrusting one's body to the mind's guidance allowed the body's reaction speed to exceed neural reaction speed.

Because the mind is faster!

Thus unleashing combat power far beyond one's usual state. This was the true power of Shingen-ryu.

But now.

Two Shingen-ryu practitioners were both in the mental stream state, turning it into a clash of mindsets.

Riku won one step, leading to him winning every step!

Biscuit's pressure grew heavier and heavier.

"It truly is surprising. To be able to master this martial art to such a degree at your age, I admit you have indeed far exceeded my expectations!

But no matter what... I should be considered your senior. Although I really don't want to show my truest self to others, if I lost to a little guy like you, it would be very embarrassing!

So... prepare to face my storm, little guy!!"

Biscuit finally had to choose to break the rhythm, taking a deep breath.

Her chest puffed up high, looking almost like an E-cup milk cow.

Then, her entire body rapidly grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her originally slender arms and legs instantly transformed into bulging muscles, exuding a terrifying, massive pressure that made one's heart palpitate!

It was as if a dormant primeval beast had finally bared its savage fangs.
