Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

The receptionist deftly reached behind her back, glancing at the license as she spoke in a sweet voice:

"Please wait a moment, I will check right away..."

She was suddenly stunned, because what came into view were two three-star hunter licenses that she had only seen in the data!

Huh? Is this correct?

The waiter quickly turned to look at the window.

Standing in front of the window was a man with a thick beard, dressed in a black and white cow costume, wearing a cow-horned hat, and even had black circles drawn around one of his eyes.

Of course she recognized this man; he was the "Ugly" one of the "Zodiacs" of the Hunter Association, a man whose name was featured on a dedicated page in the employee handbook!

Behind Mitchellston, a taller, younger figure stood quietly, holding his identification, waiting to process his transaction.

That's Dia.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

When Mitchell noticed that the waiter was not moving, he spoke up to remind him.

"Ah, no, it's nothing..." The receptionist was so shocked that she stammered.

Without wasting a second, the receptionist immediately inserted the license into the card reader, and the license holder's information was displayed on the screen.

The first three-star hunter license came from the same of the twelve earthly branches, namely the "戌" (Xu) – Qiduo Yorkshire.

The second one is from the current president of the Hunter Association, a three-star hunter—Isaac Netero.

Seeing Chairman Netero's funny avatar making a peace sign on the screen, the receptionist broke out in a cold sweat.

With the guarantor of Chairman Netero and another member of the Zodiac acting as guarantor, it's hard to believe that any amateur hunter could receive such attention.

"Please show your amateur hunter identification."

The waiter calmed down and began to return to normal business operations, but his demeanor became much more cautious and respectful.

Dia handed over her identification, fully aware of the change in the receptionist.

'Chairman Netero and the Zodiac tiger skins are still too useful, and Mizeston coming in person probably scared him...'

'but……'

Dia and Mizziston exchanged a silent glance, then simultaneously shifted their gazes.

'If it were Qi Duo, she probably wouldn't understand, this change in attitude...' ×2

Both of them thought of someone who wasn't there.

It's not about Hei Qiduo, but rather her performance in the election arc of the manga and King's evaluation of her.

As a three-star hunter who became so young, Kido is very capable and talented, but he is somewhat out of touch with the lower classes.

Mizaston and Qiduo had been colleagues for a long time and knew each other well. They were also surprised that she suddenly had a disciple.

'He seems even more adept at interpersonal relationships than Qiduo...and there's not a trace of fear in his eyes...'

Mitchell silently analyzed the personality profile that Dia had displayed.

If all goes well, this newcomer will get his hunter's license next year, and there may be opportunities to work together then.

Half an hour later, Mitchellston and Dia walked out of the office together.

"Then, the time is set for 9:00 AM on August 27th. You and my team will go to the airport together and board the airship."

“I understand. I’ll go back and continue my preparations now, Mr. Mitchellston.”

Mitchell reminded him of the time again, and then the two parted ways.

Dia returned to the lounge that had become his dormitory.

After obtaining the temporary hunter certificate, Chairman Netero specially waived his rent for three months.

During this time, he can focus on his cultivation without having to worry about other matters.

He promised the chairman before telling Qiduo about it.

At first, Qiduo was unwilling to let him take on the commission. Dia believed that she probably didn't want him to take risks before the "mysterious commission" began.

But when he brought up Chairman Netero, Kita hesitated for a moment, then sighed and compromised.

He even took out his own hunter's license and told him to apply for a temporary hunter's certificate.

For some reason, Dia felt that the training intensity had increased significantly in the past few days.

And it seems that during Kito's impact resistance training, the punches are getting heavier and heavier...

Chapter Eighteen: Departure × [Specialty System]

Lowy City Airport.

Drogba glanced at the time and prepared to reorganize the team again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

A clear but not loud voice entered his ears, startling him, and he quickly looked up.

What came into view was a young man with a smile on his face.

He was estimated to be around 195 centimeters tall, and he was wearing a bespoke black suit, walking silently.

"You must be Dia. What a young hero! It's a pleasure to meet you."

Drogba stepped forward to shake hands, speaking politely, while inwardly he was shocked:

'What a powerful technique! It only released its aura right in front of me; it seems it was also meant to demonstrate its strength.'

Dia warmly shook hands and said:

“Not at all, not at all. Mizziston told me that you are an expert in this field, and I will assist you in completing the mission throughout this process. I hope we can work together smoothly.”

He also secretly observed the man in front of him. He was about 185 cm tall, muscular, agile, and had sharp and wary eyes. However, the messy Nen on his body indicated that the other party's Nen ability was not very advanced.

His actions just now weren't meant to intimidate Drogba; he deliberately used the "Absolute" technique to approach Drogba simply to test his training results.

Without anyone to spar with, his "Zetsu" is like that of a three-year-old when facing Nen masters like Kido and Netero.

He was fairly satisfied with the test results, which made his efforts in developing the [Absolute] worthwhile.

Drogba nodded, then turned and solemnly gave orders to the line of men in black behind him:

"set off!"

It was 8:50 a.m. on August 24th. Dia and the group of men in black were about to board an airship and head to Flynn Airport in the Kakin Empire.

Before setting off, Mitchell had already explained the details of the mission, and he also asked Mitchell for a large-caliber pistol.

Dia will serve as the vice-captain, being the only Nen user besides Captain Drogbada in this mission.

During this mission, the royal guards were responsible for the twelfth prince's personal protection, including his travels and food tastings. They were only responsible for peripheral work and preventing possible external attacks.

Three private soldiers dispatched by the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Kakin accompanied the mission, and they were responsible for their own security.

-----------------

Kakin Empire, Flynn Airport.

It was nearly evening, and the orange-red sunset shone on the airport ground, casting long or short shadows of various airships across the surface.

Flynn Airport is the second largest airport in the Kakin Empire, covering a huge area and usually having a huge flow of people, but at this moment there is not a single passenger boarding.

The culprit that brought the entire airport to a standstill was the soldiers standing in a row in the very center of the airport—the royal guard and the royal family's privately-appointed soldiers.

Dia and the others slowly descended in the airship.

wow——

As the airship door opened, Drogbada and Dia stepped out, followed silently by the others.

Drogba strode forward, first shaking hands and talking with a leading sergeant, occasionally letting out a few laughs.

Dia followed closely behind and silently began to observe the environment.

The airport was completely cleared out at this time, and soldiers patrolling around the airport could be vaguely seen on the outside.

The soldiers in front of them were all carrying large-caliber firearms, with sharp eyes and impeccable discipline; they were clearly elite soldiers.

On the other side of the soldiers' ranks, another group of soldiers stood clearly separated, their numbers significantly smaller than the group Drogba was negotiating with.

This is clearly the private army of the fourth prince of the Kakin Empire mentioned in the intelligence report.

Meanwhile, not far away, a luxuriously decorated medium-sized airship was parked, which was obviously the means of transportation to be used in the next mission.

This airship will be a level faster than ordinary high-class airships, ensuring that the prince can arrive at Yorknew City on time.

'Everyone's aura flows out naturally; unless they are Nen masters skilled at disguise, they can be almost certainly identified as ordinary people.'

Dia thought to herself, although they were all elite soldiers, they probably wouldn't be able to resist if they faced someone with superpowers.

Just then, Drogbada suddenly turned to Dia and said:

"This is Dia Diego, an expert from the Hunter Association. He will be the second person in charge of security for this mission..."

“Dia, this is Lieutenant Ralph, who is in charge of the overall planning of this trip. He will be in Kakin to oversee and command the entire operation.”

Lieutenant Ralph was a burly middle-aged soldier who spoke with the ruggedness typical of soldiers on the battlefield, and had a hearty smile.

Diya stepped forward to shake hands and felt the thick calluses on the other person's hands, clearly indicating that this person was an elite among elites.

The two had barely exchanged a few polite words when they heard a soldier running over and shouting:

"Report! The Twelfth Prince has arrived at the waiting room!"

Ralph's expression turned serious, and he turned around and shouted loudly:

"Attention, all! Line up! Private Oga, Private Shah... you five, step forward!"

"You five will be responsible for the personal protection of the twelfth prince from now on. No matter the cost, you must not allow the twelfth prince to suffer any harm!"

Five people stepped out from the neat queue, quickly formed a line, and then answered in unison:

"Yes!"
