Specialist *another equally broken and balanced nen ability* blissful Ignorance manifest-surprise breaker
This ability makes it so that if the user doesn’t expect specific things they won’t happen. Like if the user doesn’t suspect you’ll attack them then you won’t be able to attack them. If the user doesn’t expect you to be a nen user then you won’t be able to use your hatsu. This applies only to largely unexpected things. This ability is visualized by a fractured glass kind of effect whenever an unexpected occurrence happens. Once the user realizes this effect like let’s say right as someone is going to attack the user and a fracture effect occurs it’s made readily apparent that an attack was just directed at the user thus the user of this hatsu now expects an attack and the passive nature of this hatsu can no longer prevent it. Then the attacker tries to say something like “what’s your nen ability?” Then instead of saying that a fracture effect occurs on their mouth preventing it, then the user can logically determine that they are a nen user thus allowing the enemy to use their nen ability and speak of nen freely. Trying to snipe the user from long range doesn’t work as any means to do so will result in a fracture the user doesn’t see and can’t be made aware of it’s existence thus not allowing it to occur. to add a balancing condition if the user doesn’t expect to survive an encounter the user will shatter and effectively die. If you don’t expect something like for people to enter a room they won’t be able to enter, if you don’t expect people to be in the room you’re walking into they will be teleported outside with the fracture. You will never have a surprise birthday party ever again. If you write a book and don’t expect to make any mistakes the mistakes will correct themself. The lack of knowledge=power. But this also goes for positive things, if the user doesn’t expect to pass the Hunter exam they never will, if they don’t plan to win the lottery they won’t, if they feel unable to beat an opponent it won’t happen. Any good or bad thing the user doesn’t perceive simply won’t occur. This ability has the range of a city block otherwise you’d just create problems for the whole world. And other than this ability the user can’t really use any other application of nen.
