Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

Therefore, I hereby declare... all previous rules are null and void, and you are free. With that, the captain cut off the broadcast.

"You have the nerve to talk back to me? You're way worse than me." Wahachi was clearly surprised.

After all, the examiners have a lot of autonomy in each exam. Although she and the captain are both examiners, they are not clear about how the other sets up the exam. They only occasionally learn about the general situation such as the location of the exam venue in order to cooperate.

"This isn't bad, it's a necessary arrangement." The captain chuckled, his face full of anticipation for a good show.

"Tch." Wahachi scoffed dismissively, but soon his eyes lit up as he stared at the surveillance footage, because something interesting was about to happen.

At this moment, the four people who had just returned to their room heard the broadcast and immediately realized that the situation was about to become extremely bad, and that they would become the targets of the robbery.

After all, everyone knew they had life jackets, and some of the earlier and more knowledgeable people even knew that Kevin had a life raft, which was the only life raft on the ship.

"Looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight," Banana sighed helplessly, frowning.

Gorenu looked helpless: "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

More importantly, a lot of resentment and conflict had accumulated among the candidates on the ship over the past two days, which they had previously had to keep bottled up due to the rules.

Now, on this final night, everything will be decided by strength.

Even candidates in poor condition will take the opportunity to retaliate against those they dislike. The battle that is about to erupt on the entire ship will surely be extremely fierce.

Kevin and Kate exchanged a glance, then without saying a word, got up and walked to the door, opening it.

Their decisive action startled Bajiao and Guolinu. After all, in this situation, they were quite... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context).

"Hey, we need to talk this over. It's too dangerous to rush out like this," Basho hurriedly advised.

Gorenu quickly chimed in, "Yes, quite a few people have been dissatisfied with us these past few days."

It wasn't that they did anything special; it was just that they acted too casually, which aroused the jealousy of others.

Unfounded hatred can arise from jealousy.

However, Kevin and Kate had already opened the door and were standing outside.

Banana and Gorenu exchanged a glance, sighed helplessly, and followed him out, ready for battle.

At this moment, some candidates were gathering in their direction.

"Hey, Dongba, aren't you going to take this great opportunity? I remember you really disliked those guys, right?" an older student asked with a smile.

Dongba merely glanced at him and waved his hand, saying, "Sorry, I hate fighting the most. Go by yourself if you want; I don't want to get involved."

"Really? Heh, then take care of yourself." After saying that, the man followed the crowd toward Kevin and the others.

Looking at the man's back, Dongba thought of him as a foolish person heading to their death, and curled his lip: "Idiot, this guy really has no taste."

It's worth noting that he also participated in the third round of the exam last year. Although he deliberately caused trouble for the newcomers and was ultimately eliminated, he personally witnessed how formidable Kate was during her battle last year.

That's not someone an ordinary person can handle, especially since Kate is even stronger this year.

Moreover, the relationship between that newcomer named Kevin and Kate is clearly unusual.

Having taken the exams for thirty years, Dongba had developed a keen eye for people and knew exactly who was not to be trifled with.

The newcomer named Kevin gave him an indescribable sense of danger, even though the other man seemed very kind, he could not be wrong.

He naturally wouldn't get involved in such a thing.

At this moment, Dongba suddenly said inexplicably, "You rascal, you really can't wait."

Dongba turned around and saw the young man behind him who sold radios, the same man who had owned the oven before.

The young man looked at the Dongba with a puzzled expression: "Why are you targeting me? We don't know each other and we have no grudges against each other."

Why do something so dishonorable?

"No grudges?" Dongba sneered, a sinister and twisted expression on his face. "When you took the exam at your age and showed some talent, then we had a grudge."

"What I love to see most is you newcomers breaking down!"

Chapter Ninety-Two: A Lie X A Beast-like Man

Inside the cabin passageway

More than twenty candidates crowded both sides of the aisle, surrounding Kevin and his three companions in the middle.

Banana looked grave, her brows furrowed: "Looks like today's going to be tough."

Gore-ni pulled out a stick from somewhere, already ready to fight at any moment.

These people are no ordinary individuals; they are all candidates who have successfully entered the second round of the exam, and their combat prowess should not be underestimated. Moreover, there are more than twenty of them here.

Having a large number of people is impressive.

Banana and Gore-ni knew in their hearts that they were prepared to be beaten up and have all their things stolen.

Of course, they did have better options, but that was clearly not on their radar.

“We don’t mean you any harm. Just hand over the rescue supplies you have. I’m sure you have a lot of food stored up. Hand them over as well, and we’ll let you go.”

The leader spoke frankly, a smug smile on his face.

"Don't even think about resisting. We're all experts here, not those street thugs," another person warned.

Actually, although these people were quite dissatisfied with Kevin and the others' leisurely state these past few days, they were still taking exams.

They hoped to seize the relief supplies and some food without firing a single shot.

If they start fighting, they themselves may get injured, and then things will get really complicated.

"What are you planning to do, Kevin?" Banana asked.

These past few days, the four of them have been working together seamlessly, with Kevin usually making the decisions.

“If it’s about fighting, that’s no problem either.” The usually mild-mannered Gorenu showed a determined smile at this moment.

Kate didn't say anything, just stood there quietly. He knew in his heart that this crisis was nothing to them, so he seemed very relaxed.

"Let me decide? That's quite a difficult question." Kevin chuckled twice, looking equally relaxed and at ease.

"It's that same attitude again! I've had enough of you guys these past few days!" a guy in the crowd shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, apologize! Apologize for your disgusting appearance!"

"That's right, otherwise even if you hand over the supplies, we won't let you go!"

Xing said that Mu Yi's emotions were completely ignited and he urgently needed to find an outlet.

With so many people around, even the weaker candidates joined in the enthusiastic shouts.

Kevin stared silently at the first person in the crowd to speak, and said coldly, "Heh, my choice is that you all kneel down before me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin rushed straight to the left, and Kate quickly followed suit, rushing to the right, with Banana and Gorenu close behind.

However, after running only a few steps, the two slowed down and eventually stood still, their eyes filled with confusion.

One scream after another reached my ears.

Banana saw Kevin rush over like a tiger, throw a punch, and then stop.

But what about the dozen or so people in front of him? The three people who were hit were instantly sent flying, knocking down a large number of people. And this large number of people seemed to be swept away by an invisible force, and they were also sent flying.

The scene was just like bowling; a large number of the group collapsed instantly.

Only one guy stood there, trembling, his face full of terror.

It was the same person who was yelling for Kevin and the others to apologize.

The situation on the other side was similar, except that Kate's side didn't seem to have as much impact as Kevin's side, but the scene was just as exaggerated.

Kate rushed into the crowd and waved her hands rapidly, causing a large number of people to fall to the ground.

After Kevin stopped, he dusted off imaginary dust and slowly walked to the only standing guy, completely ignoring the surrounding corpses lying on the ground, groaning in agony.

He raised his hand and gently patted the man's trembling shoulder, uttering a cryptic remark: "Well done."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"What?" The man looked puzzled and turned to look at his companion.

The group of men who had fallen were not unconscious. Several of them were staring at him with wide eyes, gritting their teeth and cursing, "You bastard!"

Only then did he realize why Kevin had done that.

The group ignored the wailing outside, closed the door, and shut out the sounds.

Banana and Gore-ni followed silently behind.

Back in the room, Basho said with dissatisfaction, "You two are actually that strong? Damn it, I was fully prepared before I thought about fighting alongside you."

Gorenu nodded repeatedly, indicating that he deeply agreed.

Kate simply smiled and didn't say anything.

Kevin looked at the two of them and waved his hand helplessly: "You can't blame me for this. You didn't ask. I thought you knew."

Who would tell someone they're a great fighter for no reason?

"Well, this is a good thing. I was worried that tonight would be troublesome." Basho waved her hand helplessly and returned to her room.

This sudden chaos actually made him relax, and he obediently lay down on the bed to rest.

Kevin and the others were the same.

After that battle, those people will probably be much more obedient and won't dare to easily target them again.

After all, these candidates are not stupid; none of them who made it this far are idiots.

Soon, Kevin drifted off to sleep.

When he felt the cruise ship stop moving, Kevin opened his eyes and looked at the balcony; it was already daylight outside.

What's going on?

He hurriedly got out of bed, but before he could ask, the captain's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Hey, is anyone still alive? If anyone is alive, come up to the deck."

Upon hearing the announcement, Kevin had no choice but to push open the door and go outside.

Kate, Banana, and Gorenu also pushed open the door and came out. They looked at each other, and all of them saw doubt in each other's eyes.

They walked through the passageway toward the deck.

Along the way, there were bloodstains everywhere, which showed how fierce the battle was last night.

Along the way, they also encountered other test takers.

These candidates were all in a poor state, many of them had injuries, their wounds were exposed, and they walked slowly with a limp. Some even dragged their legs or had bent arms in slings.

"This battle is truly intense," Gorenu couldn't help but exclaim.

Just by looking at these people and the damaged and dented surroundings, one can imagine how intense the battle must have been.

They went up to the deck, where the captain was already standing, followed by a group of staff. These staff members seemed to have been prepared, each carrying a first-aid kit.

The remaining candidates who were still able to move gathered in front of the captain. Kevin glanced around and realized that only 30 people remained.

Half of them had various injuries, some of which were quite serious, leaving a trail of blood on the ground as they walked.

"Hey, can't you guys take a break? You're working so hard. If you fail, you can try again next year, but if you lose your lives, you'll lose everything," Kevin couldn't help but say.

The captain's words interrupted the fishy chatter and reflection.

"Seeing everyone in high spirits, I feel relieved," the captain lied through his teeth.

"Congratulations everyone, you have passed the second test. Look over there, that's the location of the third test. A ship will be here soon to take you there." As he spoke, the captain pointed to a small island not far away, which was clearly visible to the naked eye.

However, some of the candidates present were clearly not satisfied with the result.

The young man selling radios asked, "Why did we arrive safely?"

"What? Why?" the captain asked, puzzled.

Another candidate, looking equally dissatisfied, said, "Didn't they say the boat would sink on the way?"

“A shipwreck? Who told you that? I remember I clearly said that this ship would be heading to the examination hall for the third exam.”

The captain still looked puzzled, but a wicked smile crept onto his face.

Wahachi, standing next to her, turned her head away, looking displeased. Even she had been fooled.

The test takers then realized that they had been tricked.

It wasn't just this one examiner; all the candidates were fooled.
