Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth.

The problem is that even she herself was kept in the dark, which made her very unhappy.

She and her partner were partners, and this guy even planted misleading information in his own exam room.

The captain simply said, "I'm not lying to you. If I wanted to, I could sink the ship, couldn't I?"

But in the end, I just felt it wasn't necessary.

He always prepared for both possibilities and adjusted his plans as needed based on the situation at the time.

He held the helm.

"Really? That's quite interesting, hehehe." Chairman Netero couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

This is also very interesting to him.

Normally, you don't need to report the details of the exam to the examiner unless special circumstances arise during the exam.

"Among these eight candidates, are there any that have left a particularly deep impression on you?" President Netero then asked.

He asks the examiners for their different opinions every year.

"What left a deep impression?" The examiners fell into deep thought.

Froghachi was the first to raise his hand and said, "Yes, yes, there are candidates number 49, 50, 51 and 8."

"They're clearly among the strongest in this exam, yet they've been sticking together. Ugh, how boring!"

She had originally expected to see the strongest candidates compete against each other and prove themselves, but to her surprise, the strongest candidates spent most of their time together in this exam.

And because of their abilities, they naturally had a basic level of trust in each other, which allowed them to pass all the previous tests very smoothly, making her feel quite bored.

She came as an examiner, but that's not what she wanted to see!

She wants to see rivers of blood! Turning against each other! Plots and schemes!

But since she was in charge of the first round, which was always used to filter out candidates with weak foundations.

"If I had to choose, it would be that boy on board number 351," the captain said slowly. "Because during the battles on the ship, he learned how to control his ki."

The captain was able to see every corner of the cruise ship through the monitoring equipment, and thus witnessed the entire battle between Gawain and Tonpa.

He clearly saw how Gawain unleashed a powerful will in the face of adversity, successfully controlled his Nen, and ultimately knocked Tonpa to the ground.

In the captain's view, Gao Wen was a young man with extremely high standards for himself, and he must have been constantly training his physique and willpower.

It was precisely because of this that when faced with Dongba's twisted behavior, he was aroused with anger, and through the outburst of this will, he successfully developed his hidden potential.

This is neither an easy thing nor a lucky thing.

This is inevitable, a reward for talent and hard work.

Therefore, the captain believed that Gawain was a young man with great potential.

What's even more commendable is that, based on the current situation, he is one of the few righteous people among Nen users.

In the captain's understanding, the stronger a Nen user is, the more unwavering their beliefs, the more twisted their will, and the more extreme their personality.

However, such extreme personalities are easy to develop, but people like Gao Wen who uphold justice are extremely rare.

More often than not, it's about doing things that are a mixture of good and evil, based on one's own will and preferences.

Thinking of this, the captain couldn't help but sigh, "If this young man could become a hunter, perhaps he could salvage some of the Hunter Association's reputation."

After all, many hunters in the Hunter Association are deeply dissatisfied with those who abuse their hunter licenses to commit crimes and do evil.

They felt that these people were treating their hunter licenses as a get-out-of-jail-free card, believing that as long as they didn't go too far, they wouldn't be wanted by the Hunter Association.

Chairman Netero nodded slightly and silently noted down the captain's opinion.

Finally, Zakar scratched his lion-like, bushy hair and pondered for a long time before slowly speaking.

"To be honest, there's no one who left a particularly deep impression. If I had to pick one, it would be number 49."

"That guy is an enhancement-type ability user, and you can tell he has carefully honed his Nen abilities."

"I can tell that he has received guidance from renowned experts, has not taken any detours, and has made full use of his strengths."

"And he's a complete power player. I'm looking forward to his future development, and he seems quite interested in hunting as well."

Zakar felt that he might have something in common with Kevin, since for him, hunting was a serious matter, referring to legitimate hunting of wild animals.

After listening to the three people's speeches, Chairman Netero nodded, then took out a pen and gently tapped it on his chin, the mechanism on the pen tip making a "click-click" sound.

"So, President, have you thought of some interesting exam methods?" Frog Hachi asked curiously.

According to the tradition of the Hunter Association, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the final exam is usually presided over by the president of the Hunter Association himself.

President Netero always comes up with some strange yet interesting exam plans when he presides over the final exam.

Therefore, Frog Hachi was full of anticipation for this, and even hoped to be an audience member for the last exam of each year.

Hearing Frog Hachi's question.

Chairman Netero's expression suddenly became somewhat downcast, and his head drooped.

"There's nothing I can do. I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to design those time-consuming exam games."

His tone was like that of a child who had lost his beloved toy.

Apart from Froghachi sighing helplessly, the captain and Zakar couldn't help but roll their eyes inwardly.

This is the Hunter Exam, not a children's game or playground!

They were both amused and exasperated by the president's unconventional behavior and disrespect for elders.

But they've long since gotten used to it.

"Then let's use a duel format. Since time is tight, let's keep the rules simple and straightforward."

"Hmm... I'll be the referee myself, that's settled."

As he spoke, President Netero quickly scribbled in his notebook, then showed the set rules to the group.

After reading it, all three of them had big question marks appear above their heads.

“We understand the other rules, and they’re all fairly normal, but what’s the meaning of the last one? Why do you insist on getting involved yourself?”

The captain finally couldn't help but ask.

"I'm already this old, and I'll soon be back to my busy work."

"If I can't design an exam with all my heart, then let me test them myself."

Chairman Netero spoke calmly, completely ignoring the strange looks he received from the others.

"You speak so righteously, but you just want to play by yourself!" the three thought to themselves.

"Okay, it's decided then."

In other areas of the airship, Kevin, Kate, Banana, and Gorenu gathered in the hall.

"The final exam is coming up soon. Sigh, I really don't know if I'll be able to get my hunter license."

Gorenu sighed with worry.

In the third exam, he barely passed the qualifying round, so he was unsure whether he could pass the final exam and was inevitably somewhat pessimistic.

He had already witnessed the formidable opponents he faced from the surrounding candidates.

"What does it matter? Last year I didn't even get close to the last exam. Being able to participate in the last one this year is already a huge improvement."

"If all else fails, I can try again next year. As long as I can improve each time, I'll get my license sooner or later."

Banana, however, remained optimistic, laughing heartily as she spoke.

After saying that, he looked at Kate curiously: "And you, Kate? You must have taken your last exam last year, right? What was that exam like?"

Upon hearing this, Kate pondered for a moment and gave a peculiar assessment: "Pretty...pretty peculiar."

"What kind of evaluation is this?" Kevin asked, looking puzzled.

"Play volleyball."

"What?" Kevin thought he had misheard and his eyes widened.

Gore-niu and Banana were also staring intently at Kate, trying to make sure he wasn't joking.

The final match of the Hunter Exam was volleyball? This was completely unexpected for them.

Kate sighed helplessly and explained, "You heard me right, it's volleyball."

"There were ten candidates who advanced to the final round. We were divided into two groups and a best-of-five format was adopted. The losing group would be eliminated."

“We have a week to prepare, during which time we can practice together, familiarize ourselves with the competition rules, and even have warm-up matches between team members.”

Kate recalled the scene and continued, "In that exam, two Nen users were assigned to two different teams and became the main attackers for their respective teams."

"That scene truly showed us what superpowered volleyball is all about; the balls were hit like bombs."

"However, at that time I had just learned Nen and was not very proficient. In addition, the teamwork between our members was not as good as that of the opponents, so we lost the game in the end."

As everyone listened to Kate's description, they gradually quieted down.

Everyone blinked, still wanting more, after Kate finished speaking.

"Hmm, it's not quite what I imagined. It sounds quite intense," Basho had to admit.

Just then, an announcement came over the loudspeaker inside the airship: "All candidates, please prepare to attend Chairman Netero's personal [interview]."
