Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 109 Observer x, Examiner √

With less than an hour left before the exam ended, a student on a screen did something unexpected.

"Chief! They're breaking the rules! How can they do that?! They're damaging the walls!" shouted prison staff who were watching from the sidelines.

"Isn't this a very reasonable decision?" Su Wu glanced at the employees, or rather, the prisoners.

How is breaking down a wall to take a shortcut a violation of the rules?

There are no rules about not breaking things during exams.

"But...but..." The group hesitated for a long time, unable to come up with a coherent explanation.

It's not that I can't say it, but rather that I'm inexplicably afraid to say it.

"Isn't it interesting to break free from fixed thinking and challenge common sense?" Liber said appreciatively.

Now, no one else had anything to say.

Because Liber was the examiner, everything was decided by him.

Because of this maneuver, Xiao Jie and the others, who were originally supposed to miss the exam, passed it by the last second.

The trap tower's doors opened with a thud.

"Have the committee arrange a ship for us," Su Wu said to Maro as she stood up, remembering the matter.

"Yes, sir." Maro nodded and went to the side to make a call to the review committee.

The Review Committee is an organization specifically responsible for logistics for the Hunter Association.

The president is also Netero.

"I'm about to throw up from sitting in the airship all the time." Su Wu stretched her limbs to loosen up her somewhat stiff body.

Nonsense, sitting here watching others take exams for three days and three nights, it's no wonder I'm stiff.

"I'm leaving." He waved to Liber without turning his head and left the trap tower.

A group of examinees who had just emerged from the trap tower were tricked by Liber onto a ship bound for their "vacation destination".

"Is it really just to give us a break?" Leorio asked, his face full of doubt.

"Could this be the fourth test?" Kurapika pondered, stroking his chin.

A group of people, all with the same question in mind, took a boat to Gunkanjima (Battleship Island).

The island is surrounded by sunken and stranded ships.

The only place they could stay was a shipwreck hotel run by an elderly couple.

"The fourth exam will begin on Guard Island in three days. During these three days, all candidates can rest well here," the old couple told them.

The group of people who had been on tenterhooks for days were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Rest and recuperate to restore your energy so you can perform better in the next exam.

They were thinking this so casually until the couple reached out their hands to them, asking for payment for their lodging.

Upon inquiring about the price, a group of people immediately screamed.

"So expensive? Are you robbing me?!"

"Ten million, and that's just a deposit! That's faster than robbery!"

"How could we possibly come up with that much money?!"

Despite the growing skepticism, the elderly couple remained firm, stating that while they couldn't let everyone stay for free, they could offer them a good idea.

That is—going into business.

Most of the shipwrecks on the seabed were merchant ships that traveled to and fro, carrying a lot of cargo. Even if a large part of them were damaged and lost their value, a small part could still be used to pay for lodging.

All they need to do is go into the sea and retrieve it.

A group of people believed the old couple and went into the sea to search for treasure, finally raising enough money for the room fee.

However, on the night they paid the money, the students sleeping in the hotel heard the sound of an airship.

When they rushed out to check, the couple had already flown away.

They left no words or means of transportation.

All the candidates were left on this island with only a shipwreck.

To make matters worse, a storm was brewing.

The arrival of storms and sea tornadoes could cost all the test takers their lives at sea.

"I knew it... you can't trust these so-called vacations," Dongba said listlessly.

Having taken so many exams, he had never heard of any vacations.

Sure enough, something went wrong.

They were definitely scammed!

"We need to find a way to get through this natural disaster, and then figure out how to get to the island of Jupiter," Kurapika analyzed.

The fourth exam is about to begin. If they miss it, it will be considered an absence. What are the consequences of missing the exam?

It's not up to standard. See you next year.

"If we don't work together to find a way to overcome this difficulty, then none of us will pass!" Xiao Jie shouted to all the candidates.

Driven by shared interests, a group of test takers began to cooperate.

"The third exam, 28 people passed." Su Wu received a message from Li Bo.

The Trap Tower and Battleship Island were both part of the third test, and both were devised by Riber.

As expected of someone who guards prisons, he certainly has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

"It should be almost time, why hasn't it arrived yet..." Su Wu sat on the edge of the deck, fishing with her legs crossed.

After waiting for a long time, a dilapidated-looking warship finally appeared.

The moment he saw the warship, he understood how these candidates had passed the exam.

"Not bad at making use of waste." He stood up and leaned on the railing, looking at the examinees on the warship.

The group of people looked exhausted and weary.

When Su Wu saw the examinees, the examinees had already seen him as well.

"Aren't those... the examiners and so-called observers for the second round? Are they involved in this round too?" The three brothers huddled together and talked.

"That observer said he could give us extra points, but we've never seen him use it at all," the bald ninja complained, arms crossed.

What exactly is this so-called bonus point?

"What use can someone that young be?" someone remarked.

The two ships met on the high seas.

The examinees disembarked and were ushered onto another ship by the blond youth.

"You're a bit late, but welcome to the fourth exam after passing the third one. I'm the examiner for this round," the boy sitting on the railing said, yawning as he looked at the crowd.

"What? An examiner?"

Hey, an examiner this age? What's going on? Has the Hunter Association gone mad?

"Aren't you an observer?" Leorio asked, looking utterly shocked.

"Ah, just kidding, just teasing you guys. You didn't actually believe it, did you? In all these Hunter Exams, have you ever heard of observers?" The white-haired boy covered his mouth with one hand and chuckled, waving the other to indicate that they were overthinking it.

"Damn it, you examiners are all liars!" Leorio muttered through gritted teeth.

This guy had told them before that he was going on vacation.

What a load of lies!

"I told you so, that blond guy passed the exam by clinging to someone's coattails. If someone who clings to someone's coattails can become an examiner, why can't the person who clings to someone's coattails become an examiner?" Dongba raised his chin and said loudly with an arrogant attitude.

He was indeed the only one who saw through the truth.

At this moment, Dongba felt that everyone else was drunk while he was the only one sober, and that everyone else was nothing special.

"You weren't lying to us about being an examiner, were you?" Leorio suddenly asked.

Many test takers looked on with suspicion upon seeing this.

If you tell too many lies, you lose credibility.

"Think what you want. Those who don't believe it don't have to participate. Just wait for your real examiners to come." The white-haired boy shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

The candidates, however, dared not actually refuse to participate.

They can no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood, or between falsehood and truth.

But things will work themselves out. Forget about the plan, just participate first! If you get scammed, at most you'll just be a little tired. If you don't participate, you might fail completely.

They've come this far with great difficulty!

"Alright, let's start drawing lots in order." Su Wu stopped chatting and got straight to the point.

The blond youth pushed out a box with an open top.

"Let me think... let's go in the order of clearing the Trap Tower." The white-haired boy said, "Hisoka, you draw first." He urged Hisoka.

Hisoka stepped forward and pulled out a slip of paper, followed by the names of the nail monster, the bald ninja, and so on.

One by one, the candidates drew slips of paper.

"Each of you has a number written on the slip of paper you drew. That number represents the target number for this exam." Maro was in charge of explaining the rules this time.

"You have one week to get the target number," he coldly informed the candidates.

The candidates looked at each other warily, reached out and covered their number tags, taking them off and hiding them.

"Of course, if you can't get the target, you can get someone else's." Su Wu smiled and continued to explain.

"Let me think. Let's count the other people's number plates as one point, the target's number plate as three points, and my own number plate as three points. As long as I get six points, I can pass the fourth test."

"To be honest, 28 people is still too many. It makes the hunter's license seem worthless."

"I'd like you two to try your best to eliminate each other." The white-haired boy smiled at them, his smile blatantly malicious.
