Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

No matter which industry or field, outstanding people must have their own unique qualities. Beyond that, a consistent, decades-long dedication to their craft is often a defining factor.

Being willing to exchange her Hunter License for the G2 Virus shows how Sanbica really values ​​the G2 Virus. As for why she values ​​it so much, Law can only attribute it to her profession as a Virus Hunter.

Thinking about how Sanbica showed up to remind him, if the thing in the case was not a virus, maybe Sanbica would not have shown up, and then Law would not have been able to detect her presence.

Her behaviors and motivations all start from the virus, and the subsequent reactions occur because they are related to the virus.

'Should I call it obsession or passion? I can only say that Sanbica is worthy of her profession. With such characteristics at such a young age, I believe she will achieve great success in the future. However...'

'I don't have any impression of her name.' Law thought silently, and could not find any information about Sanbica in his memory.

He thought that if given another decade or so, a person who was so dedicated to her profession would surely become famous in her field. However, he could not find any impression of the name Sanbica.

'It is possible that it was not mentioned in the original work, or it may be that there were too few scenes in which she appeared, so I did not remember her. Another possibility was that Sanbica might have met an untimely end before the original plot began.'

In fact, Sanbica only appears briefly in the original work. Later on, she would become the Hunter Association's exclusive doctor and obtained Single-Star title in her field.

Though her screen time was minimal, her abilities were extraordinary, and her popularity within the Association was unparalleled.

If Law recognized Sanbica, her identity as the Hunter Association's exclusive doctor would be enough to make her a good friend.

Although he did not recognize her, it did not stop Law from paying attention to Sanbica, because her Nen Ability seemed very special. They did not seem like the combat-type Nen Ability, but more like a logistical support type.

In his previous life, Law had a well-rounded team, so it could support him to go to many dangerous places. Later, due to the death of team members and the goal he pursued becoming more dangerous, the team eventually disbanded.

Having lost his team, Law stubbornly pursued his passions alone. If it weren't for God's blessing, he would have become a pile of bones at the bottom of some cliff.

Even if the special abilities gained from swallowing the fruit later allow him to act alone, Law will not underestimate the importance of a team.

"Well?" Sanbica didn't know what Law was thinking, and looked at Law with expectation. For her, any newly discovered virus was a target, and trading was just one method to obtain it.

Her willingness to exchange her Hunter License for the G2 Virus made Law see Sanbica's potential and future possibilities. Because of this, his attitude subtly shifted and he gave up the idea of ​​driving Sanbica away.

He fixed his gaze on her, but instead of responding to her request, he asked, "You should know that G1 and G2 Viruses are drugs, right? So, what is your motive for wanting these cases of G2 Viruses?"

Her ability to discern the structural characteristics of the virus just by touching its raw liquid intrigued Law. It seemed almost like an analytical tool in human form.

When Sanbica heard Law's question, she dropped her usual straightforwardness and did not answer directly foolishly. Instead, she showed a hesitant expression.

This question involves her Nen Ability and it is not something she can easily disclose.

If Law had asked about her measurements, age, hobbies, or even the color of her underwear, she will answer without hesitation if it meant obtaining the virus.

However, Nen was a different matter entirely. Its effects were mysterious and unpredictable, often shrouded in secrecy. For any Nen User, revealing the specifics of their Nen Ability was akin to exposing their most guarded secret.

Seeing her hesitation, Law's eyes narrowed slightly and he said calmly, "Is it that difficult to answer?"

"If I say it's to save lives, would you believe me?" Sanbica avoided directly addressing her Nen Ability and instead cut to the heart of her motivation.

She wasn't lying. Any virus could become a tool for saving lives in her hands. However, without explaining her Nen Ability, this claim lacked credibility.

"I don't believe you." If it was just a virus, Law might believe it, but if it involved drugs, he wouldn't believe it easily.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me." Sanbica clutched her head with her hands in frustration. After a brief moment of thought, she seized on another angle and declared, "I'm a doctor!"

"Oh?" Law was slightly surprised and immediately asked, "Does this have to do with your Nen?"

"Mm, my Nen..." Sanbica instinctively nodded and almost began explaining, but she quickly realized her slip and clamped her mouth shut.

"I wouldn't mind if you continued." Law said, and a hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

"Are you trading or not?" How could Sanbica continue talking? She immediately glared at Law, feeling a mix of frustration and indignation.

Law shook his head and said, "No, unless you tell me what your Nen is. I'm genuinely curious, how do you... use viruses to save people?"

"You are also a Nen User. If it were you, would you reveal your Nen Ability so easily?" Sanbica retorted and stared at Law.

"Sure, why not?"

With a faint smile, Law raised his index finger, and condensed his Aura to form a transparent sphere the size of a basketball on his fingertips. Then, he flicked towards the green case that was almost shattered by the bullet.

The transparent sphere left Law's index finger and landed on the green case ten meters away, silently cutting it into dozens of pieces.

Watching the display, Sanbica's heart skipped a beat. She silently thanked her earlier decision not to try stealing the virus by force.

"This is my Nen Ability, and it is great for cutting vegetables." Law explained seriously.

Judging by his tone, it wasn't just vegetables he intended to slice with it.

"These corpses on the ground didn't die in this way." Sanbica said and glanced at the many corpses on the ground. She saw with her own eyes how these two groups had met their ends.

"Don't sweat the small details. Come on, tell me about your Nen Ability." Law replied casually and took a step forward.

Seeing Law take a step forward, Sanbica instinctively took a step back, weighing whether to give up the G2 Virus and look for another way, or to do the same as Law and only reveal a little bit of her Nen Ability.

"If I tell you, will you give me the G2 Virus?" Sanbica asked.

Law paused for a moment and said calmly: "That depends on your answer."

'If Sanbica's Nen Ability is truly unique and indeed related to saving lives, then she is definitely a rare talent worth keeping an eye on.'

Sanbica hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can control viruses and use them to save lives. That's my Nen Ability."

She did not give any specific explanation, but just briefly stated the key points like Law.

In truth, her Nen Ability went far beyond control. She could analyze, merge, and manipulate viruses at will. Her body itself was unusual, as she held countless unique viruses inside her body.

However, she had no intention of sharing this information.

To put it in simpler terms, Sanbica's Nen Ability is similar to Aburame Shino's Ninjutsu, where her body contained countless viruses.

"Control viruses..."

Law stroked his chin thoughtfully, thinking about the feasibility of controlling the virus and the connection between controlling the virus and saving lives. He even thought that since Sanbica could use her Nen Ability to control such a tiny substance as the virus, then could his God Hand do it too?

Inspiration is one thing, but how to implement it is another, and Law realized that Sanbica could be an invaluable reference.

Now the question remained: Should he let her go?
