"Three of you, wait a moment!" The voice of Netero President pierced through the tranquility of the corridor.
"Do you want to play a game with me?"
He continued with a smile, "If you can take this ball from my hand before this ship reaches its destination, I will grant you the hunter qualification. I won't intervene, no matter which direction you attack from."
Killua looked at the ball tightly held in Netero's hand, excitement shining in their eyes. "Just need to take the ball? Then I won't hold back."
Netero responded with a smile, "Please feel free."
At that moment, Killua took action. He used several clones, a unique skill of the Zoudike family's assassins. In no time, he had surrounded Netero from all sides.
Netero Smiling in my heart, thinking: "This kid, at such a young age, is able to use body movements to create afterimages and confuse the enemy with the rhythm of his steps. This little guy is terrifying."
Gon Watching the scene in front of him, couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah, I see so many Killua!"
Chi smiled and explained, "Brother, those are just residual images Killua used to deceive the eyes." But in her heart, she was thinking, if it were that simple to get the ball, this game would be too boring.
Killua launched the first attack, his figure instantly splitting into ten, each swiftly moving around Netero. "This time, watch how I snatch the ball!" Killua thought to himself.
Split-second dash, attempting to snatch the ball from Netero's hand. However, just as he touched the ball, it instantly disappeared from Netero's hand and reappeared in his own hand.
"How is that possible?" Killua couldn't help but be amazed.
Netero revealed a playful smile and said, "I'm just getting warmed up, and yet you've already fallen into the palm of my hand so easily."
At that moment, Chi devised a plan to take advantage of Netero's lack of knowledge about her Nen abilities and seized the opportunity to take the ball. Quietly, she used her Nen abilities to silently make contact with the ball using a thin thread.
"Just do it now!" Chi silently issued the command in her heart.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a strong Nen force pressing over, and with a light wave of Netero's left hand, the thread was cut.
"Oh, it's rare to see that someone has already mastered Nen, but unfortunately, the power is still not enough," said Netero President lightly.
Chi showed a bitter smile to President, thinking, "It seems that this time is really a bit tricky."
Gon also joined the battle at this time, pulling out his unique weapon - a fishing hook. He gave it a strong swing, and the bait flew towards the ball in Netero's hand.
With a gentle wave of his left hand, Netero effortlessly brushed away the bait, and the ball still landed securely in his hand.
"You are all still too young," President Netero said softly, but these words felt like a heavy mountain pressing on the hearts of the three people.
Killua came up with a plan: since that's the case, they might as well block the old man's actions.
Taking advantage of the old man's momentary lack of vigilance, Killua sprang into action. He leaned forward slightly and forcefully swung his leg, targeting Netero's left leg. A vortex of air formed around his leg, highlighting the power behind the kick.
Gon and Chi stood to the side, their eyes wide with involuntary gasps, feeling that the kick would surely be excruciating.
However, to everyone's surprise, Killua suddenly jumped in pain, shouting, "It hurts so much!"
Netero smiled and thought, "Hmm, not bad, that sweep was quite neat, without any hesitation. If it were anyone else, their leg bone would probably have shattered by now."
Killua Painfully holding his own foot, he gritted his teeth and said, "This old man's foot is as hard as a piece of iron."
Gon Somewhat incredulous, asked in confusion, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Chi also chimed in half-jokingly, saying, "Yeah, isn't he just an old man?"
Killua still gripping his foot, his brow furrowed in pain, said, "Don't believe it? Go ahead and kick him."
After the atmosphere on the airship became slightly tense, Gon seemed to want to try his luck as well. He warmed up, stretched a bit, and then said loudly, "Alright, it's my turn, here I come." Then, he charged towards Netero like a little bull.
Netero stood there, smiling and observing the scene, thinking, "Hmm, this kid's explosive power is quite good, but compared to me, he still has a long way to go. Hehe, after all, he's still a child."
Just then, Gon seemed to miscalculate his jumping force, not only jumping over Netero, but also jumping too high and hitting his head on the ceiling of the airship.
This time, even Netero was startled, thinking to himself, "Oh, he actually jumped up there."
Killua watched this scene and couldn't help but say, "I know you can jump high, but you also need to consider the place. This is a boat."
Then he sighed and added, "At least I managed to surprise the old man a little just now."
Netero At this point, he placed the ball in his hand on his head, and a few drops of sweat ran down his forehead. He thought to himself, "That's right, although this kid looks dumb, his brain is working. It looks like I can have a good time playing until dawn tonight."
At this moment, Chi took a deep breath and concentrated her Nen ability even more. A nearly transparent Nen thread extended gently from her fingertips, slowly making contact with the ball on Netero's head.
"It's now!" Chi silently activated Nen in an attempt to use her own Nen ability to attract the ball.
However, with just a slight movement of his left hand, Netero not only did not deflect the ball, but also caused Chi's Nen thread to break as if it had been electrified.
"Your move is better than before, but still not enough," Netero said lightly, the ball above his head as steady as a rock.
A hint of disappointment appeared on Chi's face. She understood that this opponent far surpassed anyone she had encountered before.
"It looks like we need to reconsider our strategy," Chi thought to herself.
At this point, Killua patted his own leg and looked up to Chi, saying, "You see, I told you this old man is not simple!"
"I don't need you to tell me, I already know," Chi responded, but a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
In the following fifteen rounds of attacks, each of the three individuals used all their tricks, even joining forces to launch attacks.
Killua employed his exclusive technique—Godspeed. Chi attempted to use Nen abilities to create illusions to disrupt Netero, while Gon repeatedly used his fishing rod for long-range attacks.
However, Netero seemed to handle it with ease, effortlessly blocking all the attacks with his left hand and left foot, while his right hand and right foot remained in place, as if to indicate that they were not worth mentioning at all.
Time passes second by second, however, no matter how hard the three of them try, they cannot snatch the mysterious ball from Netero's hands.
It's already midnight.
Three people were panting heavily at this point.
"Why... why isn't he tired at all?" Chi said.
"Playing like this will never yield results. Why don't the three of you come at me together," Netero said, with a calm tone that was filled with provocation.
"Alright, this time we won't let it slip away," Gon said.
Killua looked even more displeased.
Chi had a look as if she was ready to fight you.
Three of them moved almost simultaneously, Gon swung his fishing rod, Killua transformed into multiple clones, and Chi once again attempted to manipulate the mysterious ball with her Nen threads.
They launched their attacks simultaneously, aiming to break through Netero's defense.
Netero Seeing this, he couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation with a smile. With a slight wave of his left hand, he instantly neutralized all three people's attacks.
I don't know how much time has passed.
In the dim light of the corridor, the three figures were tightly entwined.
The ground is covered with sweat marks from intense exercise. Gon, Killua, and Mr. Netero are engaged in a fierce battle.
"It's terrifying. Killua is drenched in sweat, and Chi is sitting on the side resting. But Mr. Netero seems unfazed, not even out of breath," Gon thought, frowning.
"Direct attacks don't seem to be very effective." Gon furrowed his brow, quickly analyzing in his mind.
Netero skillfully dodged the attacks, taunting, "Hehe, are you tired already? It seems like your offense is getting weaker and weaker."
Suddenly, Gon quickly kicked towards Netero. He originally thought that Gon's foot would just sweep past, but unexpectedly, it actually kicked back and hit him in the face.
Netero exclaimed in astonishment, "How despicable! I didn't expect you to use such a low move."
Killua saw this scene from behind and immediately took the opportunity to rush forward and stomp hard on Netero's back.
Netero almost fell, and even the ball floating above his head fell down.
"This is a great opportunity!" Killua felt a surge of joy and was about to reach out to catch the falling ball.
At that moment, Mr. Netero swiftly kicked the ball far away with his foot, then agilely stood up with one hand supporting the ground. He secretly rejoiced, "That was close, I almost got intercepted by these two kids."
Suddenly, Gon swiftly kicked the ball again.
Netero said angrily, "Hmph, you guys are making me angry."
Chi sat on the sidelines, with her hands crossed on her knees, looking calm. She didn't have high expectations because, according to the plot she knew, a breakthrough in this situation seemed unlikely.
Just as Killua and Gon were about to reach the ball, a figure faster than them flashed by and intercepted the ball.
Soon, the ball returned to Mr. Netero's hands. As he spun the ball, he proudly said, "Not bad, not bad. You deserve an effort award."
