Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Those were the hunter test candidates who had been waiting by the hot spring, ready to ambush their prey.

"...Let's go."

Dia glanced at them indifferently.

An invisible sense of oppression made those people freeze, their feet rooted to the spot, afraid to move.

The three of them then readily complied and followed the secret passage through the hot spring back to the examination hall.

In the square room, Bisky found a magazine with pictures of various handsome men and was looking at it with great interest.

pat-

Several rhythmic thuds of objects hitting the ground rang out.

She looked up and saw two tall, unfamiliar men, one of whom was carrying a girl with a dazed look in her eyes.

As soon as they landed, the two stood up in unison and walked straight toward her.

"Good morning, examiner. This is the 'Gram Star' you requested for this year. The three of us are a team."

The man with the girl hanging from his arm seemed to be the leader. He calmly took a ruby ​​out of his pocket and handed it to Bisky.

Bisky examined it against the light and chuckled softly:

"The Georgian ruby, the only one in all of Gramgasland. A few idiots tried to fool me with some random gem before, thinking I was a moron. Fine, you're out!"

Chapter 283 The Enraged Gem Hunter × Waste Utilization

"Give me your numbers. A few hours later, after dawn, an association airship will come to pick you up for the third round of exams. You can board the plane with your number."

Bisky, without batting an eye, tossed the gem into her skirt pocket, glanced at the three of them, and said:

"Whether you can keep your number amidst the onslaught of those eliminated contestants was also part of the assessment, but for you... it probably doesn't matter anymore."

The moment she saw the "entanglement" on the three people's bodies, she knew that even if all the eliminated contestants rushed at them, they wouldn't be able to defeat them.

It seems that at least this year won't be a complete disaster...

Dia glanced discreetly at Bisky's pocket where she kept the jewels, and the golden Stand [The World] silently appeared for a moment.

He then told Bissie their numbers, and then turned to leave.

Gramgasland is surrounded by no other major cities, perfectly illustrating the meaning of vast land and sparse population.

This is why the main mode of transportation in this city is the airship, somewhat like the development of low-cost airlines in the United States in Dia's previous life.

Therefore, there are many small and medium-sized airports on the outskirts of Gramgasland, but only one large airport – Garon Airport, located in the northwestern suburbs of the city.

'Given the size of the association's airship, it can't land at any other airport, only there...'

Dia walked toward the door, pondering what to do next.

Just then.

"Dia!"

Bisky suddenly called his name from behind.

Without pausing, Dia feigned a momentary pause, exchanged a glance with Hisoka beside her, and then turned to ask in confusion:

Are you calling me?

"..."

Bisky narrowed her eyes, remained silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, your back view looks a bit like a deceased friend of mine, and I called out to you without thinking. I'm really sorry."

"...Please accept my condolences."

Diya glanced at her calmly, uttered two words, and left the examination room without any hesitation.

boom!

As the door closed, Bisky's smile faded, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

“There are no flaws, but…”

Gotcha!

That look in his eyes, which seemed to disregard everyone, was something she had never seen on anyone other than Diya.

Add to that his unusual height, and Bisky is more than 90% certain that the pretentious guy is Dia himself!

"Hehe, you little rascal, I've finally caught you red-handed..."

Bisky suddenly grinned wickedly. The girl clinging to Dia was solid evidence. Let's see how he explains this to Qiduo.

Do you think Bisky just said "dead friend" offhand?

When Qiduo finds out, she'll definitely beat Dia to a pulp!

Even if they don't die, they'll be badly injured.

Bisky stood up triumphantly, reaching into her pocket. She wanted to admire the jewel that Dia had offered her as a tribute...

Suddenly her movements froze, and the smile on her face froze.

It doesn't feel right!

Sensing something was wrong, Bisky quickly took out the "gem" to take a look.

It has a slightly rough, chewy texture, a white exterior, and a soft material...

"chewing gum!?"

Bisky suddenly emitted a sharp, crackling sound. Where was her gem? Such a huge Georgian ruby!

How did it turn into dried chewing gum?!

"Dia!!"

Like the roar of a furious lion, a violent sound wave surged out of the underground examination room like a tidal wave, splashing the water in the fountain three feet high!

Under the pale moon, Dia and Hisoka were running frantically.

Seemingly having overheard the impotent rage of a certain middle-aged jewel hunter, Dia silently quickened her pace.

After seeing Bisky shamelessly pocket his jewels, Dia decisively used time stop to steal them back.

Of course, to prevent the change in the weight of his pocket from being too noticeable and attracting Bisky's attention, he stuffed the dried chewing gum he had eaten earlier but hadn't had a chance to throw away back in...

"Ah……"

Dia suddenly gave a sinister smile.

Did you think his "please accept my condolences" was just a casual remark?

Mourn your jewels properly, old woman!

The night is still long; it's estimated that there are still three hours until dawn.

Dia returned to the Moritonio Circus; he needed to change some things.

Hisoka had no interest in going back, so Dia told him to head to the airport and see when the airship would arrive.

The luxurious cottage was brightly lit.

Sang listened quietly to Abaci's story, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the look of relief on Abaci's face. She sighed with emotion:

“I didn’t expect you to have such an experience before, Abachi. I wish you had told me sooner.”

Abaci looked puzzled, and Sang then recounted his encounter with Hisoka during the day in detail:

"...I even gave him a few pieces of chewing gum back then."

Abachi silently took out the piece of chewing gum Hisoka had given him and asked:

Is this it?

"It seems to be..."

Abachi sighed, tore open the packaging, stuffed the gum into his mouth, and mumbled:

"Hmm... You can eat gum whenever you want from now on, just remember to share a piece with me..."

Sang smiled gently, glanced at her tenderly, picked up a glass of wine, and was about to take a sip when—

Boom!Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Sang asked in a loud voice.

“It’s me, Dia.”

Upon hearing this, Sang and Abachi were both taken aback and quickly ran over to open the door.

Upon seeing Sang, Dia didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, tossing the [Gram Star] back to him, saying:

“This gem is useless to me, but it should be of some use to you. I want to use it to exchange for something.”

A gemstone of little value, merely rare, is a useless possession for Dia, and could even make her a target for a gem hunter; there's really no need for her to keep it.

On the contrary, its significance as a symbol of recognition, which exceeds the intrinsic value of the gemstone, is quite precious to a performer like Sang. It would be better to use it to do someone a favor, since Sang's special Nen ability can be used in the future.

Sang caught the beautiful ruby ​​with lightning speed, and after a moment of stunned silence, asked with delight:

"Take whatever you want!"

"That albino Barney bear."

Dia silently scratched Poxon's hair, who was hiding behind him, which made her look at him blankly.

After all, it was because he wanted to obtain more information that he clashed with Sherlock, and as a result, he failed to protect her, leaving her in this extremely dangerous state.

He was thinking that he should give poor Miss Poker some compensation.

Then he remembered that she seemed to really like the white female bear when they were at the fire, so he decided to make use of it and start working on getting the bear for her instead.

Upon hearing Diya's words, Sang's previously confident expression froze, and he stammered:
