“Having Magic or Ki powered technology would greatly benefit both powers I think.” She pondered. “Tuffles can’t really explore that field with ease but I’m positive they have the potential to meld either two.”

"I will attempt to blend them."
Zero agrees.
"However, as I mentioned, trial and error has been effective for me."

Mojo would sip his tea.
"I'm curious, what kind of trial and error have you been attempting? Just developing new techniques, or trying different methods of strengthening yourself?"

She knew for she had been watching but she’d let Zero answer

Mojo would wait for a bit for Zero to elaborate and then sigh at the lack of such. A few thoughts had his tea cup refilling on the table before floating back to his hand.
"I suppose that is my fault. Could you provide a few examples of what training you have done Zero? Based on those, Nen and I may be able to offer additional ideas or insights that may be beneficial."

From behind a tea cup tipped at her lips she looked between the two before placing it down and speaking.
“Mojo some things might be confidential to speak of.” She smiled softly. “He will probably keep many of his own secrets since he is in the military’s confidence. As someone with his own personal privacy you’d understand. Even I have a few simply by being a guardian I choose not to share unless absolutely necessary.”

Zero goes to answer, then pauses when Nen speaks up. Was it a secret?
He wasn't sure.
However, to be in good faith, he would at least say something.
"Much of my training has been in my dreams."

Mojo would incline his head towards Nen in acknowledgement of her point, then consider Zero's response.
"Ah. Image Training. That makes sense."
Mojo used a variant of image training himself to forcibly stress his system as training along with his meditations.
"As that is a personal method of training, I can't offer much advice beyond doing your best to have a variety of terrain and opponents when doing so. That said, you are always more then welcome to approach me to help train in some fashion and I will be glad to assist. Much as Nen and I mutually teach one another many things."

“Hm…”now that she couldn’t see. “Please explain this dream and image training for me?”

"My training consisted of a battle with myself, whereupon I realized I could not defeat myself without using something previously unknown. I believe that constitutes image training."
Zero feels as if that satisfies the definition.
"I also spoke to my creator in my dreams, and that fuelled development as well."

Mojo would nod at Zero's description before addressing Nen, though he wasn't ignoring Zero, just furthering the explanation.
"I am unsure as to Zero's dreams specifically, as they seem to be either a sort of Astral reaching out to his creator, a technological broadcast to his unconscious mind, or leftover programming to further his learning upon his creator's disappearance. Or all of the above, however it is furthering Zero's knowledge base in a useful manner so I will not gainsay it.
"Image training is a form of extreme meditation in which you imagine the stresses upon the body to the point your ki responds appropriately. One of the most common methods of using image training is to spar with hallucinations of other fighters spawned from your own mind, up to your own power level. It is commonly used by powerful martial artists as a method to further develop their bodily strength and response time, as the purpose of image training is to sink so deeply into the self-given hallucination that your body will react and develop appropriately from the experience.
"I myself use a variation of image training to continuously improve the strength of my body, though my version does not have me sparring with others. I instead continously operate under ever strengthening pressure upon my every movement and whole body, a sort of extreme resistance training if you will. My method is more akin to training underwater in continously deeper areas to adapt to the pressure on the body, or high gravity training."

“This sounds fun!” She chuckled. “I’d like to know of this method of training one day.”

"My creator is deceased, as well as his computer."
Zero points out, just to keep misinformation at a minimum.
"Image training is not difficult as long as you dream."
Maybe not.

"We can add it to the list of things to teach one another, Guardian Nen."
That said, he turned his attention to Zero.
"I am sorry to hear of his passing. From his creation of you it seems he was a brilliant individual."
Mojo hated those who turned him into who he was, but he didn't hate all android creators or scientists just off that. A little resentful, as android technology in general helped give his tormentors ideas, but no actual negative feelings. Zero seemed to be an okay individual, and considering the small bits he had shared of his creator helping his development, his creator was possibly okay as well.
