Crazy's Wild Ride

Two Months later...

Crazy and Killua rarely spoke to each other. When they did, most of the time it was just Killua explaining how he would train. The poison that had affected Crazy was temporary. It had lasted around 2 days until he was up and running for his life. That's right, running for his life. Killua found out pretty soon that Crazy was a bit of a coward. Also he had basically no motivation whatsoever. He tried increasing his stamina and speed the traditional way. But then tried putting Crazy's life on the line with a daily session of running away until he had the strength in his arms to move a 2 ton boulder. His left arm had healed in the first month. Crazy thought that he alone was the crazy one...

The opinion Crazy had for Killua went from good mentor, to speed demon. Emphasizing the 'demon' part. Crazy had learned the hard way that Killua likes it when people learn things the hard way because it was quick and efficient. His opinion also changed from sane mentor, to insane mentor. Crazy also had to worry about the woods, they had numerous creatures that would at the beginning of the first week, would have torn him to ribbons. Especially Killua. During the running, Crazy was allowed to use any means to escape.

It did work in the end however, as Crazy was running like the wind by the second week from Killua. They did this running away training until sunset, by then they would return to camp and start a fire for food that they caught. They got food and water while running, the only time Crazy was not running, or shoving, or attacking, was when he was attempting to sleep.

The reason why is because apparently he decided to steal some training from his old mentor. Where apparently he would tie large rocks to a rope which Crazy would have to hold all night. Killua would also cut these ropes from time to time. There were many, many bumps on his head by morning. Eventually Crazy countered this by kind of staying awake, but not really. The only way he could describe it was leaving part of his brain awake, as absurd as it sounds. This stopped all the rocks from falling on his head.

Crazy had learned to hunt in the time that he had been running. Since he was always running, he picked up rocks and threw them fast, and hard towards the head of his prey to decapitate them. Eventually, he threw rocks almost as fast as bullets. He had to make the rocks go that speed so that they were faster than his running speed, which had multiplied by around three times within the two months he had trained. He would cook the prey he caught during the night after recovering the corpses.

Every time Crazy managed to get away from Killua while running away, he would do some self training. He would sit in a small meadow and find himself meditating. The grass was long so he did not have to worry about being seen. This was no secret to Killua he kind of just allowed it, mostly because it was still training, just of his ten, the first of the four principles of Nen. Crazy would leave this little secret location after an hour at most every day. Killua would continue to chase shortly after he left the location. Crazy still had to wear the 100 kilo vest, he now also had to drink water from the 80 kilo cup, the only exceptions were when he was trying to move the 2 ton rock, or when he slept. He tried to move the rock once every two days. He had finally moved it on the 59th day.

From behind Crazy, he heard Killua's voice and he sprinted as fast as he could. "Wow. Tell you what, I will go full speed instead of half, how about that?" He said in a bored tone as he sprinted ahead of Crazy twice as fast as before. What, I was just gaining ground on him barely in the past two weeks! He was half of his speed since the start! No way! Killua came to an abrupt halt ready to attack. Crazy had anticipated this and jumped right, into the denser forestry. This had all happened within one second. Crazy would be surprised, if he had time to slow down. He was busy utilizing his whole body to run faster and more precise. He moved through the dense part of the forest with great precision. Only problem being that Killua was far more precise than him, and was quickly gaining ground.

Crazy walked by a small pond and picked up two pebbles up of of the shore and put them in his hands. He hid them from Killua's view. He jumped over the pond and saw his reflection. Seeing his reflection was a breath of fresh air for him. Looking down at his blue eyes, and curly, dirty blonde hair. He tended to stay away from mirrors, so this sight was not seen every day.

He threw one of the pebbles at Killua's stomach, it hit due to the close proximity of Killua at the moment. It was not a hard throw but it made Killua look away for a moment. Crazy took advantage of this situation and took the pathway to the right while he threw the other pebble at the tree on the left pathway. He threw the pebble hard, it hit hard enough to make a small hole leading through the tree. Crazy ran full speed on the right pathway, obscuring him from view within a second.

Killua heard the noise the pebble made from hitting the tree, and went to the left. The plan Crazy had made worked, due to Killua changing to the left path instead of following him down the right path. Crazy knew it was only a matter of time before he found him again, so he ran back to the campgrounds. He wanted to do an alternate strategy where instead of hiding in the forest, he would wait at the campsite. Crazy activated zetsu, concealing his aura and waited. While he waited, he practiced ten by meditating.

Hours Later...

The sun had begun to set in the sky. Killua had just returned, except this time he had brought the 80 kilo cup with him. The cup was full of water and had a leaf floating in the middle.

"What is that for?" Crazy asked Killua.

"This is for later, first I will teach you the next two principles of Nen."

"Really! I've waited forever for this! Yes!" Crazy was overjoyed at the news, he had been waiting like two weeks for this! He was really impatient most of the time so this was so relieving. Killua set the cup down on a rock near the cliff face.

"First, I will teach you Ren. It is simple really, just exert your aura but release more at a much faster rate. Due to this, it will increase your strength and speed. However, it is harder to maintain than ten."

"Its that simple? Okay." Crazy followed his orders. His Ren was rough, but it was Ren nonetheless.

"Good, now use your Ren and focus it on the cup." He did as he was told once more. Nothing changed about the water, or the leaf. What? Why is nothing happening? Crazy was confused as he did not see anything happen. Killua motioned him aside and did something Crazy did not expect, he tasted the water.

"You are a transmuter."

"Transmuter? Whats that? Why did you taste the water?"

"As a transmuter you are able to change the properties of your nen." That's really vague... Killua spoke again.

"For example, you changed the water from flavorless, to sweet."

"I did? Cool!" Crazy said. This is all he could respond with, he had no idea what to do with this power. Crazy thought of a question.

"Hey Killua, if I can change the properties of my aura, can I make it have the same properties of fire?"

"Yeah, but the fire would still burn you, only other Nen users would be able to see it, but you would not be immune unless you transmuted some more aura to make it heat resistant."

Well, damn. It seemed Killua was not done speaking.

"That brings me to the fourth basic category of Nen, Hatsu. Hatsu is basically your special Nen ability that you create."

"Say, Killua. Whats your Hatsu?"

"Its a secret." So close to learning his abilities... But not really... Crazy thought to himself quietly. Crazy sat down with the rope in hand, deep in thought.

They remained silent for the rest of the night, of course, after they put out the fire Killua recently made. Crazy was not looking when Killua started the fire, or put it out. He was too busy to catch food that day.

2 Hours Before Sunrise...

Killua woke up and silently walked out of the camp. A thought appeared in his head. The reason why I rushed you yesterday, was because I have to leave today. I have to see my friends, they have waited for me long enough. I would take you with me if you were fully trained in Nen. Sadly, there is no more time that I have to spare training you. Killua had already left while he thought this.

The moon slowly inched it's way down into the horizon, while parallel to it the sun's rays washed over the land as the sun rose into the sky. Crazy rose from his slumber as the light hit him, and found no trace of Killua. Killua! Where are you! Crazy mentally panicked, Killua was usually there in the morning and he was not at the stream either. Crazy stopped, He rationalized and thought Killua was only temporarily gone and hunting. He sat and tried to meditate. The same thought ruined his peace though, thus not allowing him to meditate.

What if Killua does not come back? Do I just continue alone? This same thought occurred to him over, and over again until he could not bear it. He stopped meditating and stood up. He activated his Ren. So this is Ren, it increases my physical strength? We will see about that. Crazy walked up to the tree on his right.

"What are you looking at!" Crazy talked to the tree. "You can't talk... WELL SCREW YOU THAN!" Crazy shouted as he punched the tree.

There were a lot of outcomes Crazy had predicted would happen when he punched the tree. The one he most expected was for him to hit the tree and grip his hand in pain as that was a stupid idea. However, what he did not expect was what happened. He punched straight through the tree. What the hell? I have a lot more strength that before!

The effect was that the punch had made a really loud noise and he could just feel all of the wildlife in the area ready to attack him.

"That cannot be good~" Crazy said with excitement as he heard rustling in the bushes.
