Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 35 A Fond of Teaching

Airship, entertainment room.

"I'm not playing anymore." The white-haired, blue-eyed boy frowned and threw down the cards in his hand unhappily.

He hasn't gotten a pair in all these rounds; he's been losing non-stop.

The key point is that no one cheated; it was simply that he was unlucky and didn't get good cards.

He himself was unwilling to cheat and wouldn't allow others to let him win, so over such a long period of time, he never won once.

The other players were equally helpless; nobody wanted to beat a monster that could knock them off their feet with a single punch, but…

The other party was really unlucky!

Looking at the expressionless boy nestled on the sofa, clearly not happy, the group exchanged glances.

"Um... shall we head out now?" They wore forced smiles, trying to ingratiate themselves, but they were so unaccustomed to such a fawning attitude that it felt extremely awkward.

After all, no matter how much a villain tries to put on a fawning expression, he won't look kind.

Su Wu casually lifted her eyelids and glanced at the other party, and the group of people rushed out of the entertainment room as if they had received some kind of order.

"These guys are so incredibly boring..." Su Wu said lazily, resting her chin on one hand and yawning.

The airship likely only carries a portion of the test takers, as it's said that tens of thousands register online for each Hunter Exam, but only a few hundred actually arrive at the actual exam location.

There were only a few dozen examinees on the airship.

Huh? Wait a minute, would the Hunter Exam examiners be so kind as to come and pick up the candidates?

The original plot seems to be that the main characters only met the examiners after they had completed various tests and arrived at the official examination venue.

It seems there's a later plot where Warcraft characters impersonate examiners to deceive the test takers.

However, Six Eyes could confirm that the two examiners were definitely human, and quite capable humans at that.

Why did they appear on the airship before the actual exam venue instead of waiting for the candidates?

In fact, there must be many tests happening both before and after arriving at the actual examination venue.

That means that the days spent in the airship were not entirely safe.

"What kind of tests will take place on the airship?" he wondered with a hint of interest.

The examiners who set the questions should put in a little more effort; the test won't be interesting if it's too easy.

"Knock knock knock—" A dull knocking sound came from outside.

Su Wu ignored it. This wasn't a private office or meeting room, so why was there any need to knock?

When no one responded, a weak voice came from outside the door again.

"Um...may I come in?"

That voice... I remember now, it's that... malou ah.

Because the name is so easy to remember, I have some recollection of it.

Weren't you taken to the medical room? How come you recovered so quickly?

"Come in." Su Wu didn't change his posture at all, and his voice remained unchanged, still the lazy boyish voice.

Maro cautiously pushed open the door, his movements filled with trepidation.

As soon as he entered, he saw the boy sitting on the sofa by the card table. Because of his age, the boy, who was not tall enough, was completely surrounded by the sofa. He crossed his legs, propped his chin up with one hand, and lowered his eyes, as if he was too lazy to look at people directly.

Even so, the blue hue in those half-closed eyes was impossible to ignore.

Those were almost the most beautiful eyes Maro had ever seen in his life.

Even the fiery red eyes that appeared at the Youkexin auction were far inferior.

He felt that the fiery red eyes that were dug out and displayed in glass jars were just as distorted and ugly as the people bidding against each other in the audience.

"...Lord Hill! I've come to thank you..." The blond boy with the bob haircut still had bruises on his face, but there was no blood on his body, as if he had been carefully cleaned up before coming.

"Thank you?" the white-haired boy asked, his voice rising at the end.

"Didn't you have the examiner take me to the medical room...?" Maro's emerald green eyes gleamed.

"And... you were so cool in the training room!" He had been using subtle honorifics ever since he first appeared.

Su Wu pouted: "Because you're too weak, you're just an eyesore."

"The training room doesn't need another punching bag like you who won't fight back." He stood up and stretched his limbs, his tone mocking.

Maro paused for a moment, then lowered his head, his voice somewhat somber: "Because...because I always felt I shouldn't have fought back..."

"Oh?" Su Wu turned around and looked at the other person directly for the first time.

Speaking of which, this guy actually looks alright, a completely different style from the group of villains who look like cannon fodder.

Moreover, he has blond hair and blue eyes, and comes from the important map Youkexin.

Furthermore, even though the opponent's life energy was roughly the same as his, he stubbornly refused to fight back...

There must be some hidden story behind it.

In a game, this size would make it a special NPC, the kind that might trigger side quests.

"Very well, I'll give you time to explain why. Maybe I can teach you how to do it." Su Wu sat back down on the sofa, gesturing for the other person to continue.

"...Because I've always been beaten, if I resist, I'll be ganged up on by even more people..." The blonde girl's profile picture seemed to have been thinking for a long time before she slowly spoke.

"If you don't resist, the other person will get tired of you very quickly," he said somewhat embarrassedly.

After listening to what the other person said, Su Wu was not surprised at all; on the contrary, she felt that it was expected.

With this kind of thinking, even calling the other person "Maluo" would be an insult to "Maluo".

"Then you really are...useless." Su Wu gave his evaluation expressionlessly, his eyes full of boredom.

This kind of personality is absolutely boring.

"Hit me," he suddenly said.

"What?" The blonde girl was a little stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what Su Wu had said. Her eyes widened and she hurriedly looked down. "Are you kidding me?"

"...If you can't even bring yourself to lay a hand on someone, you might as well give up on the exam now," Su Wu said casually.

Those who blindly endure without resisting will eventually fail in their exams.

Giving up sooner might allow you to live a little longer.

I really am a kind and morally upright person.

Su Wu inwardly marveled at her own perfect character.

"...It's possible," the blonde girl with the bob haircut suddenly said.

"Huh? Are you serious?" Su Wu stroked her chin and looked at the other person.

"I can do it as long as it's not you!" Maro clenched his fist, seemingly trying to add credibility to his words.

"Great, then go to the training room and find someone to beat him up!" Su Wu clapped her hands and suggested in a relaxed tone.

Anyway, you can't kill people on the airship; at most, you'll just get hit harder.

Maybe they'll suddenly have an epiphany and decide to give up on the exam?

Thinking about it this way, I realize I really am a kind person who thinks of others.

"I understand, I'll prove it to you," the blonde girl said as if making a promise, then left while practicing her punches with her fists clenched.

Su Wu could still hear the other person deliberately lowering their voice as they walked:

"I can do it..."

"I can punch him and run away."

It sounds really unreliable...

"Let's go back to our room and sleep." Su Wu had no expectations for what would happen next and left the entertainment room.
