Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

Now that we've found the entrance, sneaking in shouldn't be too difficult!

Ximen Yan went straight into the barbecue restaurant and ordered a steak.

Well, I forgot the specific code, but he happened to be hungry.

I tried it, and it tasted pretty good. I ate it all in big bites.

Immediately afterwards, Ximen Yan ordered two more servings.

While Ximen Yan was eating, several people had already entered the innermost private room of the barbecue restaurant.

Without a doubt, these people are test takers.

In other words, his timing was perfect! The first round of the Hunter Exam was about to begin, making it the perfect opportunity to infiltrate.

After finishing his steak, Ximen Yan pretended to be casually strolling around and came to the innermost private room.

Ximen Yan opened the door and took a step inside.

"I'm very sorry, sir."

"This private room has been reserved, so you cannot enter."

The barbecue restaurant owner looked at Ximen Yan very politely and said...

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry."

As Ximen Yan spoke, he stepped out and closed the door behind him.

Then, Ximen Yan walked directly out of the store.

The barbecue restaurant owner watched Ximen Yan's departing figure.

He glanced at the door of the private room again, then turned and left.

In fact, if Ximen Yan didn't want to leave, he wouldn't say anything. After all, without a guide, the candidates he found weren't lacking.

However, it seems that Ximen Yan is not a candidate!

Ximen Yan had no idea about these things.

After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Ximen Yan walked a few steps to the side of the restaurant.

Then it suddenly disappeared from the spot.

This scene made several people rub their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

At this moment, Ximen Yan had already arrived at the innermost private room of the barbecue restaurant.

In fact, just as he closed the door to the private room, Ximen Yan threw a ball of fire inside.

He then used 'Fire Release' to enter the private room directly.

Ximen Yan glanced at the room's furnishings.

First, he extinguished the flames left in the room, then moved a chair to the wall and sat down.

Next, we just wait for the test takers to arrive.

Then he can go down with them.

Of course, Ximen Yan wasn't actually sure if his method was reliable.

Who knows, he might have been discovered by the Hunter Association as soon as he entered the private room.

However! As long as he's not here to disrupt the Hunter Exam, generally speaking, they shouldn't just drive him away, right?

After all, if the Hunter Association had to be eliminated for even the slightest accident, it would be too disgraceful for the Hunter Association.

Well, actually, Simon Yan has more confidence in Netero, the president of the Hunter Association.

He was a mischievous old man whose favorite thing was to be killed by others.

Of course, the real reason was that Netero felt he was too invincible, so he hoped someone could defeat him.

If Netero knew about his intrusive behavior, there's a high probability he would choose to observe for a while to see if anything interesting would happen.

Then it'll satisfy his perverse sense of humor.

Of course, it is also permissible to bypass the Hunter Association's procedures, skip the tests and guides along the way, and go directly to the Hunter Association's examination venue.

After all, achieving this is much more difficult, and it naturally meets the Hunter Association's selection criteria.

However, he was a bit special because he didn't even register for the Hunter Exam!

The hunter exam is a very formal process! To participate without registering is clearly a serious problem.

That's why there's a possibility of being driven away.

However, Ximen Yan had been sitting in the private room for almost an hour, and no one had come to drive him away.

It seems the Hunter Association either didn't discover him, but that's highly unlikely.

Or, it's highly likely that they tacitly approved of his involvement.

Or rather, it's been almost an hour and no candidates have arrived yet. Could it be that the first round of the Hunter Exam has already started?

Ximen Yan's expression changed.

If that's the case, then wouldn't he have to keep trying to find a way to get to the Shilemei Wetlands?

Fortunately, at that moment, Ximen Yan heard a noise outside the door, indicating that more examinees had arrived.

Then Ximen Yan stared blankly at the three people who came in after the door opened.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the three main characters, who were none other than Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio.

As for Killua, he's already at the Hunter Exam venue.

Chapter 10 Entering the Hunter Exam Venue (Please add to your favorites)

After sizing up Xiao Jie and the other two, Ximen Yan closed his eyes, clearly not intending to get close to them.

To be honest, Ximen Yan didn't really like the main characters and their group.

Xiao Jie is too willful. To be honest, Ximen Yan has always kept his distance from such willful people.

After all, he's destined to be a protagonist; he can be willful without dying, but others can't.

Kurapika, despite bearing the blood feud of his entire clan's annihilation, has always said he wants to kill all the 'spiders'.

Later, due to hatred, he developed a Nen ability specifically targeting 'spider', and could almost defeat any 'spider' in a one-on-one fight.

Under the surprise attack, not a single 'spider' could escape.

As a result, he only managed to kill one 'spider' before he couldn't bring himself to do it again.

The one who died later died because he broke the contract; it wasn't Kurapika's doing.

So Simon felt that Kurapika was full of contradictions! Such a person is too troublesome.

As for Killua, it would be better to be friends, since Killua values ​​friendships, but he clearly doesn't have the same appeal as Gon.

Moreover, if we rashly approach Killua and attract the attention of that perverted brother-obsessed Illumi, that would be dangerous.

As for Leorio, there was nothing about him that made him want to keep his distance.

Kind-hearted, values ​​companions, and may have a slightly short temper.

However, he was prepared to keep his distance from those three, and naturally did not want to have any dealings with them because of Leorio!

……

Xiao Jie and his two companions were taken aback when they saw that there were still people in the private room.

However, the three of them realized that this was the Hunter Exam, and it was impossible for it to be just the three of them, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.

Xiao Jie just looked at Ximen Yan and sniffed; he smelled a very nice food aroma.

I'd like to ask what kind of food Ximenyan tastes like.

However, since Ximen Yan kept his eyes closed, he couldn't directly ask Ximen Yan.

With a sudden tremor, it was clear that the room was rapidly descending.

This room is actually an elevator.

It's probably because Ximen Yan was also there.

Gon didn't ask the two why they were taking the Hunter Exam, and naturally, Leorio and Kurapika didn't argue.

The elevator stopped very quickly.

They have arrived at their destination.

Ximen Yan opened his eyes, then got up and walked outside.

And Xiao Jie and his two companions naturally didn't linger either!

After the four of them came out, they saw that the entire underground area was already crowded with candidates for the Hunter Exam.

Ximen Yan paid no attention to Xiao Jie and the other two.

He found a wall, squatted down, and silently observed the situation.

Soon, Ximen Yan discovered a problem.

All other candidates had a number plate.

Xiao Jie and his two companions were also given number tags by the Bean Man.

They didn't give him a number plate, though.

Yes, without a doubt, the Hunter Association has already discovered that he interfered with the Hunter Exam!

However, she didn't intend to pay him any attention.

But they didn't treat him like a test taker!

As far as Simon knew, these number tags would come in handy during the upcoming hunter exam!

But he didn't have a number plate!

This left Ximen Yan somewhat helpless!

Although he didn't actually intend to participate in the Hunter Exam, he just planned to use the Hunter Exam as an opportunity to enter the Lost Paradise Wetlands.

But if it's really not possible...

Will he be able to participate in the first test next time?

Ximen Yan looked around at the people and pondered where he could get a number plate.

After all, he wasn't expelled.

Does this mean that it's still possible for him to participate in the Hunter Exam?

Therefore, obtaining a number plate and becoming a real candidate before the exam officially begins may be the key to whether he can participate in the first test.

At this moment, Xiao Jie and his two companions were already talking to the rookie assassin, Dongba.

But just then, a scream rang out.

A candidate knelt down on the ground, and his hands slowly turned into flower petals and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the people around immediately moved away to a safe distance.

Soon, only the examinee and another examinee with wildly spiky red hair and teardrop and star-shaped makeup remained around.

Naturally, only the perverted 'fruit farmer' Hisoka could pull off such an unconventional look.

"Wow, that's incredible."

"My hand turned into flower petals and disappeared! I didn't do anything."

Hisoka looked at the examinee with a strange smile on his face.

Then, quite kindly, he offered a reminder.

"Be careful, you should apologize if you bump into someone!"

Ximen Yan glanced at Xisuo, then at the examinee, and immediately smiled.

He then got up and walked over.

Hisoka was already preparing to leave.
