On the airship, most of the candidates were resting. In a simple yet tastefully decorated room, three hunting examiners were sitting around a round table, enjoying a delicious dinner.
The interior of the room is mainly decorated in a Western style, complemented by soft lighting, creating a harmonious and comfortable atmosphere.
Menchi put down the chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Hey, guess how many examinees will be able to stay this year?"
Buhara Chewing on a bite of barbecue, he slowly said, "You mean, how many candidates will pass the exam this year, right?" There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Menchi Nodding, she smiled and said, "Exactly, exactly. I found that there are actually quite a few outstanding candidates this year, even though I had rejected them before."
Buhara put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It also depends on what the next exam topics will be." In his heart, he thought, "If the next round is another challenging examiner like Menchi, those candidates might all be wiped out."
"Indeed, but in the round of exams you presided over, didn't you notice a few particularly outstanding candidates?" Menchi raised an eyebrow, as if she had already seen through Buhara's thoughts.
"Mr. Satsugi, how do you feel?" Menchi asked, turning towards Mr. Satsugi.
At this moment, Satsugi finally spoke, saying in a calm tone, "I have the same feeling. The quality of this year's newcomers is indeed good."
Menchi listened and her eyes immediately lit up, her face full of excitement: "Ah, do you feel the same way? That's great!"
Saci smiled and nodded, then added, "Especially the candidate with the number 98, very talented, just a little younger."
Buhara couldn't help but smile and thought to himself, "Sachi would definitely say that. That little girl was the only one in this exam who made delicious sushi."
"I think No. 99 is very Gon, that kind of person must be selfish and only cares about himself. He must be blood type B, I would never want to live with someone like that," Sachi said.
"Where's Buhara?" Menchi asked.
"Me? That person can't be considered a newcomer unless mentioned. I'm talking about number 44," Buhara said while eating.
"I guess Menchi should have noticed that when candidate 255 got angry, the one emitting the most killing intent was actually candidate 44," he said.
"Of course I know that, but do you know? He has been like this from the beginning, from the moment we appeared," Menchi said.
"Really?" Buhara raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, it's because that guy kept bothering me last year, so I was so nervous during the exam." Menchi bit her lip, sounding displeased.
"I have had a similar experience. It seems that he is indeed a problematic person," Sachi shook his head, with a wry smile on his face.
"Although I don't want to say this, but he and us actually belong to the same kind of people. However, he prefers to operate in the shadows," Sachi added.
"We hunters always subconsciously seek out opponents, looking for opportunities to engage with them. And here, undoubtedly, is the best arena for that," Menchi said with great emphasis.
"In this kind of situation, occasionally there will be these anomalies. When we are trying to hit the brakes and stop, he instead steps on the gas and accelerates forward," Sazi's face turned serious, and his eyes became deep and profound.
At this moment, Hisoka is sitting in a corner, holding a deck of cards, and concentrating on stacking them. The card tower has reached the eighth layer when suddenly, he pushes over the entire tower with his own hands.
The cards fall to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Hisoka After seeing this scene, he had a satisfied and crazy smile on his face. "Wow haha...pu chi."
The other examinees, seeing this scene, couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking to themselves, "This guy must be crazy."
They were very puzzled by Hisoka's unexpected behavior, but at the same time, they realized that this might just be his personality - unpredictable and always so inscrutable.
In the corridor of the airship, Killua and Gon stood by the window, their gaze piercing through the glass, gazing at the twinkling stars outside. The corridor was dimly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the brilliant starlight outside.
"Wow, look at those stars, they're so Yoshimi! They're like shiny jewels!" Gon said, her eyes sparkling as she leaned on the windowsill.
"Mhmm," Killua stood beside him, arms crossed in front of his chest, and responded lightly.
Gon turned his head and asked curiously, " Killua, where are your mom and dad? Where are they?"
Killua looked into the distance for a moment and replied, "Hmm, they should still be alive."
"What do they do?" Gon continued to ask.
"Killer machine," Killua replied flatly, with no expression on his face.
"Both of them?" Gon asked, somewhat surprised.
"Mm," Killua nodded.
Suddenly, Killua burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the narrow hallway. "Hahaha, you're really interesting!" Killua said, laughing while looking at Gon.
"You are the first person I've met who asked me such a serious question with such a serious expression," Killua explained with a smile.
"Huh? Why? What you said is obviously true," Gon furrowed his brow in confusion.
"How do you know what I'm saying is true?" Killua suddenly stopped and looked at Gon with a surprised expression.
"My intuition tells me," Gon responded with a smile.
"It's strange, my biggest charm is actually making people unable to discern the truth in my words," Killua shook his head lightly, with a hint of incredulity in his expression.
"Oh," Gon said to the window, with a somewhat hazy expression.
Killua leaned against the window frame, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Our family are all assassins, every one of us. It seems like I have the highest talent in my generation, but I don't want to walk the path that others have laid out for me." His tone carried a sense of helplessness and determination.
"So, I told them that my future should be my own decision. They were furious when they heard that. My mom even tried to persuade me, telling me how well-suited I am to be an assassin." Killua shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
"Afterwards, the whole family started fighting, so I killed my mom and brother with a knife and then came out. They must be furious now." Killua spoke with a complex emotion in his tone.
"If I get a hunter's license, my first mission will be to catch my family. I'm definitely going to make a big profit." Killua started speaking proudly and recklessly.
Suddenly, an old man who was very bored saw two young people chatting here, and he released a murderous aura to their left.
Killua immediately felt a murderous aura approaching from the left.
He quickly turned around to look, but found no one on the left side. Just then, an old man walked over from their right side, and that person was Presiden Netero.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Netro walked up to them with a gentle smile on his face.
" Netero, did you see someone walking over from the left?" Gon asked with some confusion.
"No, I didn't," Netero shook his head.
At that moment, Chi walked over and looked at Gon and Killua, asking, "Brother, why haven't you rested yet?"
"So it was you earlier, Chi," Gon said with a happy expression.
"Oh? I just arrived, brother," Chi responded with some confusion.
"You're not young, but you move quite agilely," Killua looked at Netero with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Netero responded with a smile, "Are you referring to just now? That's actually just my normal walking speed."
Killua's face was flushed with anger, thinking that the old man in front of him was the one who had just released the killing intent, yet he was still pretending to be innocent.
"If that's the case, what's your purpose? Old man, didn't you say you were free to move around?" Killua glared at Netero, trying to force him to reveal his intentions.
"Hehe, no need to be so nervous. I'm just a little bored and looking for someone to chat with." Netero said with a smile to ease the tension.
"So, three young people, is this your first time participating in the Hunter Exam? How does it feel?" Netero changed the subject and asked.
Gon immediately replied, "It's so much fun! It's completely different from what I originally thought, and there's no boring competition."
Chi then said, "My opinion is similar to my brother's, but I still prefer cooking."
Killua frowned and said, "I'm a little disappointed because I thought it would be more difficult."
He continued to ask, "Will the next test be more interesting?"
Netero gave a slight smile and replied, "Hmm, perhaps."
"Let's go, we shouldn't waste any more time," said Killua, then tightly grabbed the hands of Gon and Chi, leading them forward quickly.
