Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 106 The Power of the Strong

Hisoka, who was sitting by the river throwing stones in frustration because his dishes were substandard, also heard the tiger's roar coming from the examination hall.

That tiger must be Little Apple's pet? Did someone make Little Apple angry and cause a fight?

Hisoka stood up and rushed to the exam room. When he arrived, he saw a chaotic scene of people lying on the ground, and a few figures who were still able to stand.

Upon entering the room, one immediately feels a chill, with unmelted frost and icicles still clinging to the walls.

The white-haired boy was sitting on a black sofa, leaning forward, one hand pressing down on the huge tiger head, and the other hand supporting his face.

"Have you all calmed down?" He looked languid, as if the chaotic situation in front of him only bored him, and the black lines on his face were mysterious and sinister.

"Menchi, Chairman Netero asked me to ask you two questions." He looked at the pink-haired woman whose face still showed signs of anger.

"First: What does this test cover?" He casually held up one finger.

Menqi was taken aback.

"Second: The reason why the candidate is unqualified." The white-haired boy raised a second finger.

"As long as you can give a convincing answer, then as you said, everyone is unqualified."

"If we can't convince everyone..."

"Your conclusion is invalid."

"If you have any questions, go ask Chairman Netero. I'm just a messenger, really..." The boy's eyes showed a hint of impatience when he said that he was just a messenger.

"You're aware of this situation; Maro and I have encountered similar situations before, haven't we?"

"If I were to encounter an examiner as obsessive as you..." Su Wu curled her lips and sneered.

"And Hisoka, tone down your murderous aura. You don't want Menchi to keep making decisions because of you, do you?" The white-haired boy looked at Hisoka, his words clearly revealing a degree of familiarity.

"...Hmm." Hisoka raised an eyebrow with a strange expression, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he politely withdrew his murderous aura that had been provoking him everywhere.

"Great, he's on our side, the test takers!" Dongba breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Dongba, who exactly is he?" Xiao Jie asked curiously and with doubt.

Although they looked only a year or two older than them, they were already able to sit with the examiners and watch them take the exam.

And... one of the examiners treated him with such devotion? Respect?

"He and that blond examiner are the only two people who passed the last round, which means they were already official hunters a year ago."

"And last year we also encountered some biased examiners who would disqualify us without even trying the food..." Dongba shook his head, speaking with great emotion about the previous year.

"And then? How did they get through?" Killua asked, looking at Tonpa.

He couldn't help but feel inexplicably concerned about the person who resembled him so much.

There's no way around it, it's just so familiar, a feeling even closer than with family.

"Then..." Dongba glanced furtively at the boy.

"Like everyone else in this year's cohort, he also made a move against the examiners."

"But he was much better than us. He knocked the three examiners to the ground, then stepped on their heads and forced them to eat the food that had been knocked over bit by bit."

"He also said that if the examiner continued to fail him or disqualify him from the exam, he would kill the examiner." Dongba embellished the story of what Su Wu had done back then.

His intention was to make these people feel fear as much as he did, but he never expected...

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xiao Jie exclaimed, his face full of admiration.

"Not bad." Killua's tone was full of appreciation.

"He was about the same age as Gon and Killua a year ago, right? He was really amazing." Kurapika analyzed, nodding seriously.

The other test-takers who overheard the conversation all showed expressions of surprise and admiration.

The candidate's situation is equivalent to the examiner defeating the candidate, and the examiner succeeding.

Since the other party has also experienced the same thing, they must share the same position as them.

For some reason, a group of people developed a greater liking for the white-haired boy.

Dongba looked disappointed.

These guys... they're scared along with him! That guy's a madman who explodes without saying a word, just like Hisoka!

"Menqi, have you thought of an answer? I'm hungry," Su Wu said lazily.

The exam started at 12 o'clock, so it's probably almost dinner time now.

He'll be angry if he doesn't get to eat dinner.

"Menchi, make a decision quickly, don't delay the adults' dinner time." Maro seemed even more nervous than Su Wu herself, and couldn't help but urge Menchi.

Without Hisoka's deliberately provocative killing intent, and with the cool air she breathed, Menchi's tension subsided, and her hot-blooded temper calmed down.

I began to reflect on my conclusions.

This section tests the candidates' observation skills and their willingness to face the unknown.

However, due to the examinee's disdainful attitude towards food and the leak of the sushi-making method, she ate too much. In addition, Hisoka would occasionally release his murderous aura to provoke her, causing her to tense up and make unreasonable conclusions.

"That's right, I was impulsive in concluding that everyone was unqualified," Menqi said dejectedly.

"I am no longer qualified to be an examiner..." she said, preparing to resign voluntarily.

"We can start over, right?" Su Wu interrupted her.

"Anyway, it's never too late to go to the third level. Just change the location, change the question, and start over."

"Since they think cooking alone isn't important, why don't you change the topic to one that lets them showcase their skills? Acquiring some ingredients is certainly a test of ability, isn't it?"

"You can borrow my airship to take them to the new examination room." The white-haired boy stood up and walked towards the door.

"Hurry up and decide where to go, it's almost dinner time." As he brushed past Mencius, he casually reminded him, "The committee hasn't said anything about revoking your examiner qualifications."

"Moreover, I personally believe that it is already quite commendable that you can reflect on your mistakes to the weak."

The white-haired boy walked towards the light, as if trying to merge with it.

Behind him, the blond youth and the white tiger followed closely.

"Then... let's go there!" Menchi's face regained its radiance, and she raised her hand to point to the distant, faintly visible mountain peaks.

"The new test question is—boiled eggs!" she said energetically.

"Great!" The candidates, who had regained their "right to be revived," cheered with joy.

"Thank you." Xiao Jie came to Su Wu's side, his tone sincere.

"It has nothing to do with me. I was just relaying a message." The white-haired boy waved his hand, not caring about his thanks.

"And I don't think Mencius has a problem."

"After all, the strong have the right to be willful," he said with a light laugh.

If Netero hadn't called to request it, he wouldn't have cared whether these people were qualified or not.

Having stayed here for over two years, he had almost forgotten the original plot, but with the main characters participating in the exam, he certainly wouldn't fail like this.

"But Mr. Dongba said that you were also in the previous class..." Xiao Jie said, tilting his head.

"Last year, it was because I was better than the examiners," the white-haired boy said matter-of-factly in a calm tone.

"So the right to be willful belongs to me, and they can't be willful in front of me." There was not a trace of pride or willfulness on his face.

It was as if he were stating an established fact, an unchangeable rule.

After hearing these words, Xiao Jie fell into deep thought.

"However, some of you are more qualified to be willful than Menchi." Su Wu glanced at the nail monster and Hisoka.

It wouldn't be difficult for these two to kill the examiner.

"Oh?" Killua asked, slightly intrigued.

"Alright, get on the airship. If we keep talking, we'll have to pay." Su Wu pushed the person towards the airship cabin door.

"Huh? You have to pay to chat?!" Killua looked like a cat with its fur standing on end, completely incredulous.

"If you say another word, I'll ask you about the airship ticket price," Su Wu said casually.

"You..." Killua opened his mouth as if to retort.

"Waaah—" Leorio covered Killua's mouth to stop him from speaking.

He was really poor.
