The Journal of a Hunter

Dreams x Illusions x Truth Part 1

It’s been one mouth and four days since I’ve started to live in this place. Well, not living, I was only trying to discover new things and hopefully get the Lum Berry. Indeed I was expecting new creatures, but these creatures… well. I should stop writing like this right now, but anyway. Good news my dear friends, or maybe should be bad news? My six new friends: Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity are now my new students, yeah. Something really hard for Twilight, she said she was Princess Celestia’s student, but now she only sees me like another teacher of magic: a new teacher of magic. I think she really loves her master or teacher. I remember my master… She was so special… and fierce. Goddamit, I miss her right now. And Master Netero, he was, so… well, forget it. Well, each of these girls have developed Nen, right now I only could teach them some basics of the Nen. I’ll write right now the process to know what type of Nen you are and the Nen types of each girl.

The Water Divinization. The Water Divinization is the most popular way to know your Nen Type. You only need a Glass of Water and a leaf floating on it. Put your hands… well, in their case, hooves around the Glass of Water and then, perform Ren. The result will tell you your nen type:

If the volume of the water changes, the user is an Enhancer.

If the taste of the water changes, the user is a Transmuter.

If impurities appear in the water, the user is a Conjurer.

If the color of the water changes, the user is an Emitter.

If the leaf moves on the water's surface, the user is a Manipulator.

If a completely different change appears, the user is a Specialist.

Well, I’ll be short with this part, so, let’s start:

Applejack and Rainbow Dash; both of them changed the volume of the water. They’re Enhancers. Rainbow Dash was excited after that. She was just too happy being an Enhancer. Applejack was surprised; she thought she would be an Emitter. I thought she would be an Enhancer. Sometimes you can know the Nen type of people only knowing their personality.

The next one was Rarity. Her result was something amazing: Water changing its color. A cyan one; was very beautiful. She tought she would be a Conjurer, technically, she can make things with her Aura, emitting and making something new like she wanted to create… like diamonds. Well, forget that.

Fluttershy was the most unexpected one… for everypony. She’s result was Manipulation. Yep, our pink-mane cute pony is a Manipulator. I’ve so many things to teach her about Manipulation and how to be a good Manipulator.

Pinkie Pie the most unpredictable one; guess what, our crazy and hiperative friend is a Transmutter. The water’s taste change to lemonade. I thought this girl would be a Conjurer, but hey, the surprises of Nen. But I have a feeling that she’s special.

And finaly, our dearest Twilight Sparkle. She’s a Specialist. Yep, she was surprised with her Nen type. Nen’s so unpredictable. She has some affinity with Manipulation and Conjuration, so, she’ll have a good day creating a good Hatsu.

Well, I’ll close this book right now and start to talk with mah friends and students. Fluttershy’s hour with Prat is ending. Tomorrow will be a good day.


“Fluttershy.” I called her “The hour is over.”

“Oh my, but I thought I had some minutes left.” she replied.

Well, you wanna know the heck is happening right now, right? Well, Fluttershy and I have a deal, she’ll have everyday one or two hours with Prat. She always spoiled that Nen-creature. I wanna see the day when she uses her Hatsu to manipulate things “Anyway. Girls, I have something important to tell each of you.”

“What is, Almaz?” Twilight Sparkle asked.

“Probably he’ll teach us more Nen!” Rainbow Dash commented.

“No.” I answered “Thanks, for all this help.” I put off my mask “Without you, probably I’d have a lot of problems dealing with Celestia and Luna. Probably having a good time trying to create a map of this land.”

Everypony was happy after hearing those words. I was happy, too “Hey, Almaz. Why are your eyes glowing?”

“Crap, I forgot about that. I think I said that before. My red-monster eyes glow in the darkness. I know it looks creepy.”

“For me it’s awesome!” Rainbow Dash added “Anyway, how old are you?”

“62.” All girls were shocked after hearing my real age “What? I ain’t young.”

“But, how? Even the most health pony looks old after the fifty years!” Twilight commented “Wait. Enhancement?”

“Bingo.” I answered.

“So, Enhancement lets you look younger, like you said before.” Rainbow Dash commented.

“Yep. It stops the aging progress… but, if I lose all my Nen, I’ll look like an old man of 62 years.” I sighed “It happened one time, was… when I met Zen. Heck, those days were beautiful.” my best friend was sleeping right now in my jacket, like always.

“How Almyz and Zenny met?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Yeah. She is always speaking about how many times she could kill you.” AJ commented.

I sighed really hard after hearing that “Well, is not a big deal. I found the ruins of a village on fire. I found Zen and Fei, obviously, Fei was weak because of her illness. Zen attacked me, and then we fought a great battle. She nearly killed me, sometimes with only a tail. She’s a monster. It all ended with a deal. If I saved her sister, I lived. So, that’s our relationship.”

“I thought you were friends.” Twilight commented.

“For me she’s my best friend. But I promised that if I couldn’t save her sister, I would kill myself” the girls didn’t take this well “Well, I ain’t joking with that. We’ve had ten years. Ten years trying to find the cure. One year ago, I heard a rumor about a berry that can cure any illness, so, I asked that to a friend, a Specialist about that berry and he told me how I could find it.”

“How sick is Fei?” Pinkie asked.

“Enough to kill a human or anything else. She’s a Flame Monkey, so, she’s stronger than humasn and other species, but even with that resistance, she’s weak and Esper is aidding her.”

“Esper?” Twilight Sparkle asked.

“Is one of my students. A Virus Hunter, he tries to find the cure of any incurable decease. And knowing what would happen if he fails adding Fei, he couldn’t forgive himself. I feel bad about him if we fail.”

“We won’t fail!” Twilight Sparkle commented “We will find the cure, and then, we will have a great party with her.” I smiled. My eyes were full of tears. I’ve good friends. Life isn’t that bad all the time.

“Ok, Fluttershy. You have another hour with Prat.” I commented.

“Yay!” she shouted.


Few days after that night, we continued our quest. It was fun, but at the same time, I was worried. Worried about something I haven’t told to anypony, not even Zen. We weren’t alone in this place. There were actually more humans. I don’t even know what the heck that means, but they are searching for something. The bastards are actually very stealthy… If these pople are from the Dark Continent, that means I’m fucked. I really hope this ends well…


“Wow!” Rainbow Dash shouted with surprise “What’s this place?”

“It’s like a cave… but I feel life… animals.” Almaz commented, he was using En right now, so he could feel every live thing in a radio of 40 meters “Twilight, can you explain me these marks?”

“ I’ve read about these on my books. This is one of the old gardens of Princess Celestia, forgotten since a long time ago. Only an alicorn can open its entrance”

“Ajem!”

“Oh, right, sorry, Almaz, Haha.” after that, Twilight’s horn started to glow, touching the marks on the wall, opening the most amazing place for an animal-lover. A forest full of animals and plants that should be extinct in Equestria. For Almaz this was a new discovery. He was full of energy.

“Girls, let’s make four groups of two. Zen and I are going to the north. Twilight and Rainbow Dash: East. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy: West. AJ and Rarity: South East. Girls, we have a limit of two hours. When the two hours end, we’ll meet again at the entrance of the cave, got it?”

After those words, they separated and started to find the Lum Berry. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were amused with all those creatures, full of kindness and joy. Rarity and AJ found new fruits, an apple full of colors like a diamond, and Applejack had an idea about this kind of apples.

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash were amused too with all those kinds of animals and… well, for Twilight, this was a good library. Kind of interesting.”


In my hand I look the fruit. I took a photo from my jacket. It was the same one, like my friend said. This was kind of interesting. We had finally found the Lum Berry…“We got it, yapa!” Zen yelled with happiness “Now with this we can cure Fei, yapa!”

“Zen.”

“What?”

“Good luck.”

“What?”


Meanwhile, the main six were having a bad moment. Twilight Sparkle was on guard, casting a spell. While Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were bound by a woman. Yeah, a woman with sun glasses and a man with a fancy hat “How beautiful are these creatures, aren’t they, Alan?” the woman asked “What do you think would happen if we cut their wings?”

“No!” Twilight yelled. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were afraid. With feeling deeply scared, they triggered their Nen.

“Oh my,” the woman touched the necks of the pegasi. After that, both lost consciousness “I wasn’t expecting that! This place is full of Nen users!”

“Little horse, hear this advice. You should use Zetsu and don’t do anything stupid, or your friends will die.” Alan commented “By the way. Thank you for opening that door. We couldn’t open it.”

“Zetsu? What is that?” Twilight asked “And what are you looking for?”

“I ain’t joking, horse. Anyone who uses Nen knows what Zetsu is” the man sighed after few seconds “Just don’t use Nen.” again, Alan sighed “I want to know who is the one who taught you Nen. That bastard is a bad teacher.”

“Little horse, we’re looking for the Lumanius Berry.” Twilight was shocked after hearing that. She couldn’t believe that more humans were looking for that berry “If you tell us where it is, we’ll consider letting you and your friends live.” the woman commented.

“Alice, dear. Do you know where the other man with the weird monkey is?”

“No, dear.” she replied.

“We do not know where is that berry. We are only trying to help a friend with some investigations!” Rarity lied.

“Don’t try to fool us. We heard your conversations. They were interesting; I think I’ve heard something about that kind of monkey.”

“Really, my love?” Alan asked “Can you remember more about it?”

“I do, my love.” Alice answered “Anyway,” she looked at the ponies while she was carrying Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash “We should-“ she couldn’t end the sentence. Why? A knee was touching right now her face. Obviously she couldn’t speak with that knee in her mouth, but especially the proprietary of that knee was a man that always wore a jacket, some dark gloves, black dyed hair, black pants and a gas mask.

“Sup!” he said while he was in the air. The girl was launched like a rocket after that “Hi Jump Kick” if you know what I mean. In the moment when the girl was launched, Alan was on guard, ready to making a move “Stop right there!” Almaz yelled while his fingers starting to glow like sparks. His left index finger was aiming at the girl lying on the ground, while the right one was aiming at the man.

“Almaz!” the girls yelled.

“Girls, get the fuck out of here!” he yelled “I don’t think I can survive those dudes.”

“But-“

“Enough! Use a teleporting spell or whatever you call it and get the fuck out of here with all the girls. Don’t expect me to come back, call Celestia and Luna.”

“Almaz-“

“Girls, really, the last thing I want is you all to die because of me. You might be an alicorn or a goddess or whatever you are, Twilight, but this is a new level, and you have your friends here, you don’t wanna see that.” after those words, Twilight casted the spell. Almaz was alone right now, without his friend: Zen “Thanks.” he said “You both are really polite.”

The woman jumped; her face wasn’t wounded at all, just few scratches “I’m a bad actress?” she asked.

“You look like a man that knows that battle.”

“Yeah, I think I owe you one. Haha, thanks for waiting for me. But it’s weird meeting people so polite.”

“We prefer fighting without problems. Having friends in battle is not good. Anyway, dear,” the woman called her husband “I remember who is this man. He is the Beast Hunter, the survivalist: Asura.” Alan was amused after hearing that.

“Jo, first time in years someone calls me with that old name.” the Nen of our Beast Hunter started to flow “Before starting this, are you from the Dark Continent?”

“No, we are not monsters. We have the same occupation.” the women replied.

“Hunters… Interesting. Well, that’s make this more easy. I thought I would die without any problem.” Almaz sighed, his Aura was bigger than normal “Well, let’s tango!” after those words, Almaz summoned our favorite angel: Prat.

“Chan-Chan!” the angel yelled, but in a blink of an eye, was stabbed by Alan. Unfortunately for the enemies, Prat was indestructible and couldn’t be harmed “The Pain Multiplier is…” her left wing was marked with a number four “Four, yay!” her right wing was marked with a division: 0/76,000-was 80,000-

“Shit, number four?” Almaz yelled, surprised with the number. Anyway. His fingers were glowing with Nen. Alice started to run; Alan conjured a shotgun “Conjuration…” Almaz murmured while he was watching Alan starting to run while he was aiming the hunter with his shotgun, starting to shoot the Beast Hunter. Obviously, Almaz enhanced his legs, avoiding the attack but something happened. Alice was running around, trying to touch Almaz’s neck behind him. Almaz released his energy in one shoot-right index finger-the Nen bullet to the ground, making a great explosion.

“Shit!” Alice yelled while she was flying. Almaz was flying too thanks to the explosion; he was in pain for some reason. Alan shoots again while Almaz was in the air. Almaz shoot again his other Railgun. Protecting him and trying to hit Alan.

Few minutes pasted. They were still fighting, but our Beast Hunter something interesting said while he was gasping in pain “I-I get it. You’re woman probably is a Manipulator who use her power to manipulate the enemy while you’re attacking them. Probably you’re trying to touch a specific point of the body. If a Manipulator puts that Limitation, would be more powerful the power of control.” Almaz commented, and that was basically right.

The man with the fancy hat laughed while he was hearing the explanation of the possible ability of his woman “And you’re probably an Emitter.” he pointed at Prat. She wasn’t the little angel she was; right now she looked like a teenager around 15-17, something really interesting “Or probably a Conjurer. But this ability is really interesting, she can’t be harmed.” he created a bullet and recharge the shotgun “The most interesting thing are those wings. She has numbers on it. If I’m not wrong, the number in the left on her right wing might be your actual Nen. While the number on the right is still unknown. But there is something about what happens. Every time we hit you, the number increases, so, those numbers mean something… are you absorbing our Aura?” Almaz didn’t answer after that “And the number on the left is the only thing I don’t have a right knowledge of it. Probably is Emission or Conjuration. But it has a lot of time there, so probably is Conjuration.”

“But,” the woman split some blood “You’ve a lot of Emission and Enhancement recurs. Your power with Emission is bigger than a Conjurer can use. Probably.” a smile appeared on her face “You’re an Emitter using Conjuration, aren’t I right?” the woman was right. In the world of Nen, intelligence is more powerful than strength. Deducting the ability of the enemy or their power is one of the best ways to make a good check. The Prat’s wings had these numbers: 60,000/20,000 (Right), 4 (Left). Almaz’s used more than the 70% of his Nen, while Alice and Alan were more than fine with their level of Nen. If we talked about injuries, they were more good than bad. Almaz didn’t have that luck.

The Almaz’s right knuckle started to glow with dark energy. It was like some Enhancement. Alan shot, but this time wasn’t a normal bullet with Nen. It was… a flash bomb? Almaz’s sigh was blinded, he couldn’t see where was the enemy, so he used En to try to find the enemy. He felt the presence of some one behind him; he moved with all his speed and shoot the energy of his fist. The presence tried to avoid the fist, but it wasn’t a fist, was a shot. Like a shotgun. The body was destroyed, Almaz was full of blood of that and he tried to run, avoiding the light and attacks of Alan. He wasn’t sad or mad after watching the dead body of his woman. Almaz started to run, knowing that his enemy used all his bullets and had to recharge-in the whole battle he recharged an amount of time depending of the capacity of the shotgun, knowing exactly how many shoots it needed to use to get empty-

The battle was decided in that moment, unfortunately while he tried to hit Alan, both of his arms were cut off. He couldn’t understand what was happening, until he yelled in pain after that cut “Sorry for doing this, little one.” A female voice said. It was Alice, but how? “It’s really hard making Doppelgangers with all that drama.” she commented while he kicked Almaz’s chest. He was losing too much blood.

“How?” Almaz murmured in pain “How that hell was that? For a Manipulator that’s nearly imposible.”

“Simple, dear. I’m not a Manipulator, I’m a Specialist,”

“Now I get it…”

“Well, well. You’re an Emitter that can’t emit his Aura anymore like you wanted. So,” he put his shotgun on the head of Almaz “you want to live or die?” he asked “If you tell me where the berry is, I promise you that: the deaths of those animals won’t be painful.” after that, if it wasn’t for his mask, anyone could watch his face full of wrath.

“Fuck yourself!” Almaz yelled, the woman tried to kick him again, but something happened. He moves his right leg, hitting the ground, and surprisingly, a giant leg was summoned, kicking the woman. She wasn’t expecting that, her body wasn’t protected at all for something like that; she flew like a bullet hitting a rock. She was bleeding and in a bad shape.

Alan avoided the attack and looked at Almaz. Then, Almaz said “I’ll tell you this, motherfucker. You touch one fucking hair of their mane,” he used Enhancement on his arms, stopping the bleeding “and I’ll hit you and your fucking wife so fucking hard that you’ll fucking wish you were dead!” after that, a monster appeared. It was like a statue of an Asura, with six arms and three faces. It was on his back. Probably, 20 meters tall. Alan was surprised; he couldn’t believe what was happening. His enemy emits a monster or probably he used materialization. But he didn’t see what was happening with Prat. She was now a beautiful angel, probably with 27 years, full of glace and kindness. Her blond hair was long, long enough to touch her feet. Two long white wings. She was naked-well; she didn’t have any more a diaper-her right wing had this number: 175,432/1000. The 1000 was falling with great speed after the invocation of the Asura.

Alan smiled after seeing that. He knew in that moment that his power was falling, and that creature needs a lot of Nen to use its attacks “Well, well…” his Aura started to flow, the number was still falling “I think we have a winner.”

“You damn are fucking right!” Almaz yelled in the moment that the number was 1, something wonderful happened in that battle. It was divided: was a division. Anyone would see a simple answer to that division: the exactly 175,432 number. But that number was multiplied with the four of the left wing of Prat, making nothing more than 701,728. And what that number means? The actual Aura of Almaz. The ability of Prat is simple: Accumulated the pain that Almaz had, divided with the actual Aura of Almaz (The number isn’t static, is always changing) and then, multiply with the Pain Multiplier. With that combination, the Aura of Almaz would be in a monstrous level. That’s basically, the function of Prat. The power of the Beast Hunter was immense, with his outrageous rage.


Twelve minutes later, the battlefield was completely destroyed, except the cave for some reason. Alan’s body was covered with blood, with his own blood. He lost an arm and his right leg was broken. He was protecting Alice “Please!” Alan yelled “Please, take my life instead of hers!”

"Are you kidding me!?" Almaz yelled "First you come here and try to kill mah friends. Now you want a freakin deal!?" Alan approached his wife and in a few seconds, they used a great amount of Nen "You've got to be kidding me!" Almaz yelled. Why? Before him, stood the reason of this great inversion of Nen; Alan had used his powers of Conjuration to transform himself into a giant Gundam.

"It's a shame..." Alice begun while she tried to recover her breath "...we're going to kill you right now... This is my dear Alan's Hatsu. He can transform with Conjuration into a Gundam but he can't control himself, so I am the only one who can control him and he needs my Nen as batteries. Normally, in my best conditions, the battery will have a duration of 2 hours, but in mu current state, I think I will only last an hour." Why was she telling the secrets of their ability? Simple: some Hatsu need Vows and Limitations, explaining how your power works is a great Vow that will help you make a good ability "You choose: Life or death, Asura!?"

"Fuck yourself!" Almaz yelled "That's what I fucking choose!"
