Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

“It’s okay, just train them in this direction. If it takes too long in the end, I’ll instill Nen into them.”

Kevin had learned about this kind of training from Bisky.

Training oneself to awaken one's inner energy is itself a process of strengthening control over the body, as well as a process of cultivating willpower and physical strength.

Such training is very beneficial for subsequent infusion of energy and for better control of energy.

So we'll train them like this, and it will be relatively easier to awaken them when he finishes his exams and comes back.

At this moment, Yun Gu seemed to notice something, walked to Pai Luo's side, and gently pinched him.

"He's been injured, hasn't he? He's very weak and might not be able to withstand this kind of training. It could even cause other problems."

Wow, that's impressive. You figured it out at a glance.

At least in this respect, Yun Gu is indeed better than me.

Kevin sighed inwardly, then nodded and said, "I know, but you're also aware of my Nen abilities. Finding a doctor who can conduct a more thorough examination should solve his problem."

His medicine was powerful, but the problem was that his examinations were not thorough enough.

I don't want my recklessness to cause problems and affect the other person's future.

Especially with Pyro, who is now considered one of their own.

"Oh, right." Yun Gu then remembered Kevin's Nen ability and nodded.

Then, as if he had thought of something else, he looked at Kevin and asked, "Your medication has no side effects now?"

Kevin couldn't help but smile smugly and nod slightly.

Seeing Kevin's reaction, Yun Gu immediately made a decision and said without hesitation, "Then I request to exchange the commission I was given for suitable medicine."

Yun Gu wasn't stupid. Although he didn't fully understand the potions Kevin could make when he was with Kevin, he had heard Kevin say that his physical training and improved abilities were largely due to the help of the potions.

Previously, Yun Gu had envied Kevin but hadn't asked him to buy the medicine because of its side effects. Now that there are no side effects, there's nothing to worry about.

"Haha, you have good taste," Kevin said with a laugh. "No problem, I'll convert the medicine into a price based on the internal rate and give it to you."

"Alright, although I'm not as good as you in combat right now, I'm still very confident when it comes to training people."

During this period, Yun Gu visited many temples, sects, and clubs, and is also growing rapidly.

The members of the Klutta tribe listened quietly.

Finally, Pailo couldn't hold back any longer and reminded Yun Gu with a slightly uncomfortable expression: "You...your hem."

Upon hearing the reminder, Yun Gu hurriedly straightened the corner of his clothes.

In an instant, his previous imposing manner vanished, replaced by an endearing, awkward smile as he said, "Sorry, sorry."

This scene made Kurapika and the others worry: Is this person reliable or not?

Kevin sighed and rubbed his forehead. He had known Yun Gu for a long time and was familiar with some of Yun Gu's habits.

Yun Gu always deliberately leaves a little bit of mess on its neat appearance, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. It's practically "a nightmare for people with OCD".

Kevin had already gotten used to the other person's behavior and subconsciously didn't remind him.

Soon, Wright arranged for a large ship to be transported to the Yellow Sea.

During the meal, Yun Gu gradually became acquainted with everyone.

He clearly noticed Neon's unusual behavior, as she remained in a state of "absolute" silence, and looked at Kevin with a questioning gaze.

“She is a key person under protection,” Kevin explained.

Yun Gu nodded knowingly and did not ask any further questions.

Hunters must have their own professional ethics.

"Now that you're here, I can rest assured."

Yun Gu looked at Kevin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Pay close attention during the exam. Some difficulties cannot be overcome simply by having Nen ability."

Kevin nodded, indicating that he was mentally prepared.

The next day, Kevin arranged his itinerary and took the train to North Blue Harbor.

As for why we didn't take the airship, it's because, for some reason, all the airships heading to North Blue Harbor have been suspended for the past few days.

If you want to travel by airship, you'll have to find your own way or take a private airship.

Kevin had been gathering intelligence on this situation and speculated that it was probably an arrangement by the Hunter Association.

It is said that millions of people take the hunter exam every year, but only a handful of them actually pass.

The acceptance rate is as low as one in hundreds of thousands or even one in a million, and that's even including those who register to take the exam.

This demonstrates the intensity of the competition.

Therefore, various screening mechanisms are set up along the way to the examination venue, with the aim of eliminating the vast majority of candidates during the journey.

After boarding the train, Kevin found his seat and sat down, looking around at the passengers in the carriage.

One could see a group of menacing-looking people, many of whom openly carried weapons, their wary and scrutinizing eyes scanning the carriage.

If nothing unexpected happens, most of the people in this carriage are probably going to take the hunter exam.

After gaining Nen abilities, Kevin's senses became much sharper, and he could clearly hear the conversations inside the carriage.

Soon, the train slowly started moving.

The train journey to North Blue Harbor will take approximately two days and one night.

Kevin picked up a book about medicinal herbs and began to read it quietly.

In the middle of the night, Kevin woke up slowly and took out the earplugs from his ears.

At this moment, the carriage was filled with the sound of snoring, one after another, with various tones intertwined.

Kevin shook his head helplessly.

He was grateful to the passenger next to him, who seemed to have foreseen the noisy scene and had kindly given him a pair of earplugs.

However, this guy's snoring was also the loudest in the carriage, right next to him.

You can tell this person is really tired.

Suddenly, Kevin felt the train begin to slow down, and the slowing down process was very slow until it came to a complete stop. The swaying when the train finally stopped was extremely subtle.

As soon as the train began to slow down, a very small number of people gradually woke up.

After the train came to a complete stop, through the window, a train staff member could be clearly seen standing outside the carriage, holding a sign that read: "Tunnel collapse ahead. Those taking the exam, please disembark and proceed on foot. Please do not disturb other passengers."

Upon seeing the road sign, the group of people who had already stood up exchanged glances and silently got up from their seats.

One of them walked to the doorway and looked into the distance in the darkness. Sure enough, he saw that the tunnel entrance in the direction of the locomotive was blocked by mud and rocks.

This means that even if they stay in the car, it is almost impossible for them to arrive at the venue on time tomorrow.

"I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused everyone."

The staff member outside spoke with a smile, their bright white teeth and gleaming grin showing absolutely no sign of apology.

"Tch, they do this kind of trick every year."

One of the test takers had an exaggerated spiky hairstyle and seemed to be taking the exam before. After making a comment, he walked straight toward North Blue Harbor.

The others also set off in the same direction, and they all tacitly maintained a safe distance from each other.

"Be careful, passengers! This is in the middle of nowhere, and it's easy to get lost on the way to North Blue Harbor. Also, watch out for wild animals in the forest!" A staff member smiled and waved from behind to remind them.

"Don't worry about it," one of the test takers complained, pulling a hunting rifle out of his suitcase.

Kevin wondered to himself how this guy managed to get past security. Oh well, he's just someone who's here to take the hunter exam, so he must have some skills.

After the group disappeared into the dark woods, the staff member looked away. Suddenly, he frowned and sniffed the air.

"What's that smell? Why does it stink so bad?"

The smell was coming from inside the carriage.

The passengers who were sleeping soundly in the carriage were all awakened by the pungent stench.

"It stinks! Did you fart?"

"Ugh! How disgusting."

"Damn it, why did the car stop?"

At this point, the passengers realized that the train had stopped sometime earlier.

They also discovered the sign he was holding and the words written on it.

The staff member pinched their nose and looked at the scene in astonishment.

"Who did this? Now we'll have to work overtime again!"

His face, which had been wearing a professional smile, now showed an expression of utter helplessness, like that of an animal.

Seeing the bewildered passengers running off the train, the staff shook their heads helplessly and had to explain again: "I must remind you that this is the wilderness, and it is easy to get lost. There are also many wild animals and poisonous insects in the forest."

If you lack confidence, please stay inside the carriage and wait for a while; a rescue vehicle will arrive tomorrow morning.

Hearing this, many people had second thoughts.

The staff member added fuel to the fire, saying, "I'm not joking, there are quite a few wild beasts and poisonous insects here."

Actually, you've already been selected and eliminated to some extent. Keep training and try again next year.

Once someone led the way back into the carriage, the others followed suit.

This choice is made because the annual mortality rate of the hunter exam is not low, and it is an open secret.

Soon, only one person remained in the spot.

Looking at the person who remained, the staff member said with some distress, "Under normal circumstances, you have already lost your eligibility for the exam. Although we don't know who did this, are you really going to leave alone under the cover of night?"

The man nodded silently, then turned and walked into the dark forest.

"I really misjudged him; he's a kind guy."

The staff couldn't help but think that the person hadn't left at the beginning, but instead waited until the very end to set off alone, clearly indicating that they had considered the consequences of their actions.

If he leaves first, it might embolden those who are already hesitant, leading some to act irrationally and potentially endangering these test-takers in the forest tonight.

In the forest, a muscular man with a pompadour and a mustache walks side by side with Kevin.

He muttered to himself, "At this rate, it's a bit doubtful we'll get to North Blue Harbor before noon tomorrow."

Kevin was somewhat exasperated; this guy was way too overly familiar.

When they first entered the forest, everyone kept a certain distance. Before long, the two met again in the same direction and then went to the venue together.

Since the exams haven't officially started yet, they aren't exactly competitors, and Kevin isn't too concerned about it.

"When you left the carriage, did you leave something on your seat?" the pilot asked as he walked.

Kevin glanced at him: "You're quite perceptive."

He did leave a bottle of medicine on his seat, which, according to his settings, would automatically open shortly after he left.

The gas released by the medicine has a pungent odor, but apart from the foul smell, it does not contain any toxic substances.

Suddenly, they heard a noise behind them.

The plane's nose warily glanced behind it, but Kevin remained unmoved, continuing to walk steadily through the forest.

"Hey! Didn't you hear us? Someone's following us."

"Don't worry about it, someone in the carriage must have woken up and followed us," Kevin said.

Upon hearing Kevin's words, the pilot instantly understood.

"So the things you left behind could wake up everyone sleeping in the carriage? You're such a nice guy, why did you do that?"

At this moment, the people following behind them stopped hiding and jogged a few steps to catch up.

"Thank you, this should be yours."

A kind-looking man with a buzz cut and a round head ran up to Kevin with a medicine bottle in his hand.

Kevin took the medicine bottle directly and said with a smile, "No need to thank me, consider it as repaying the favor of sharing my earplugs with you."

"Haha, then I'm going to make a fortune!"

As the man spoke, he looked at the nose of the plane by the moonlight and saw the iconic hairstyle, as if he remembered something.
