Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 120 Training Success x Arena Announcement

The open space in front of the Zoldyck mansion's gatekeeper's residence.

The boy in green clothes clenched his fist and looked at the white-haired boy in mid-air with a determined expression.

"Please tell Killua that we'll be going to see him right away!"

He was covered in dust, looking as disheveled as a gray, enthusiastic little dog.

Even when the white-haired boy crouched down, he still looked down at the three people on the ground.

"No." He spoke slowly, his pale blue eyes sweeping lightly over the group. "I'm not responsible for relaying messages."

Not long ago, he was joking with the three of them with a smile, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have changed into a cold and aloof person.

Without giving Xiao Jie and the other two a chance to continue speaking, he straightened up and disappeared from everyone's sight.

For a while afterward, the three of them would occasionally run into each other, especially during training. The other person would sit with snacks in hand, leaning against the fluffy tiger, eating while watching them clean up.

Occasionally, I would also express some opinions, such as—

"You can't even handle less than 200 pounds? Tsk tsk tsk."

"Hunter~ (in a meaningful tone)"

"So weak~"

Just when they think the other person is easy to talk to and get along with, the other person will instantly change their attitude and distance themselves from them.

Leorio thought the other person was an unpredictable and strange fellow.

However, they would soon no longer have to face that kid.

Because they have successfully graduated!

"Let's go find Killua." The three of them took off their weighted vests and headed towards the Trial Gate.

Just pushing open the smallest door required them to strain their entire bodies, even their eyebrows, just enough to barely open a crack for one person to pass through.

Even so, the three of them were already very happy.

Just as they were excitedly running towards the Zoldyck mansion located on the mountaintop, they encountered two figures walking out.

The white-haired boy walked with his arms behind his head, taking a few steps and then jumping, while the blond youth followed behind him with a calm expression, his face pale with a hint of purple.

"Have a safe journey." The girl in the suit and tuxedo stopped at a spot, holding a cane, and then bowed respectfully and spoke.

The white-haired boy and his group brushed past Xiao Jie and his two companions, like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

"You finally opened the door? Congratulations, congratulations!" he said as he walked forward, his tone a mix of praise and sarcasm.

Overall, it sounds rather strange.

Xiao Jie turned his head and saw only the other person's back as they left without looking back, gradually disappearing into the distance.

"Xiao Jie, what are you looking at? Stop looking, what's so interesting about that guy? Let's go." Leorio tugged at him.

"...Ah, oh." Xiao Jie nodded and ran a few steps to catch up.

A girl with a frizzy, afro-like hairstyle stood in front of them, her cane pressed against the ground, giving a cold warning:

"Tourists, please stop here. You cannot come any closer."

The girl housekeeper, who is like an emotionless humanoid machine, perfectly fits the Zoldyck family's style.

……

There was a sound of impact coming from behind.

"..." Maro looked back for a moment, then turned his head away, uninterested.

He figured someone must have been hit; the sound was very familiar to him.

"Every male protagonist in a shonen manga has that invincible cockroach law..." Su Wu didn't turn around, but as if she knew everything that was happening behind her, she sighed with an ambiguous meaning.

It can be continuously attacked, but it is impossible to kill it, and it continues to get stronger.

However, none of this has anything to do with him.

"Can you drink the poison like water now?" He threw aside everything else and looked at Maro eagerly.

It seemed that if the other party answered "yes," he would take out poison and force it into their mouth to test it.

"...Wutong said that my body has developed resistance to common poisons..." Maro's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Recently, he has accumulated a lot of toxins in his body, which has caused some changes in his complexion and voice.

However, Wutong said this was normal, and that the body would recover after stopping training; moreover, having some residual toxins in the body was not a bad thing.

"Ordinary poisons? Only powerful poisons won't do, they're a bit too weak..." Su Wu pondered for a moment before speaking.

During the month he stayed at the Zoldycks' house, he initially didn't have any problems, but he would still cough up blood if he was poisoned. Later on, he had almost no reaction.

Drinking poison like water wouldn't be a problem; the body's adaptability is incredibly strong these days.

After eating poisonous food for a month, even his black fingernails seemed to become shinier.

"Wutong said the time was too short. The Zoldyck family members have been training for years since they were young," Maro explained. "But I can train on my own later. As long as I take different poisons and antidotes every day, I can continue to build up my resistance to poisons."

His words were clear and logical, and he had clearly thought about what to do next.

"I see, that's pretty good, mwah." Su Wu nodded, admiring Maro's efforts to improve himself.

If you're already weak and don't even think about becoming stronger, are you just waiting to be slaughtered like a pig?

"You flatter me." Maro smiled, but lowered his head to hide his thoughtful gaze.

Nyon's prophecy echoed in his mind constantly; if he remained still, he would be left behind.

The airship, which had been parked in the forest, rose into the sky and flew into the distance.

[Your preparation time is about to end. Please arrive at the Sky Arena before the deadline to submit your match request. If you fail to arrive, the arena will automatically select an opponent for you.]

On the airship, Su Wu looked at the text message notification she received from the Sky Arena on her phone and yawned listlessly.

One reason I left Zoldyck was that a month had passed, and if I didn't leave soon, I would be kicked out, which would be too embarrassing.

The second reason is... it's that time of year again for the Sky Arena Challenge, which takes place every three months.

If you think about it, this is only his fourth battle since he reached the 200th floor.

Because he had never challenged anyone, and no one challenged him after the first match, the subsequent matches were randomly assigned by the Sky Arena after the time was up.

Currently, the record is three wins and zero losses, and there are still seven games to play before becoming the top player.

He's so slow, why isn't anyone challenging him?

We just need to bring in a few clueless newcomers.

With these expectations in mind, the airship arrived at the Sky Arena.

Since it's also within Batokia, it naturally won't take much time.

Su Wu and Maro returned to their room on the 200th floor. In the corridor leading to the registration window, they found many newcomers, as well as some familiar faces.

such as--

"Hill~" The red-haired man sat on the ground, holding a playing card to his lips, and greeted the white-haired boy with a smile.

Hisoka returned after passing the Hunter Exam.
