Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 38 Stay Away from Nan Tong

All the candidates' eyes were fixed on the man carrying two swords.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Togari, the examiner for this year's exam."

The examiner, who called himself Togari, was not nervous even when facing the gazes of a group of candidates.

"The venue for this year's exam is the Monster Forest on the continent of Ezhen."

"Because we felt that changing exam venues was too troublesome, all of us examiners decided to conduct the exams together this year."

"The exam will cover two aspects—treasure hunting and food." Togari stood in the center of the crowd with his arms crossed, his voice steady.

"Let me explain about the treasure hunt," Bindo suddenly stepped into view from behind the crowd, speaking with a gentle expression.

"Simply put, we examiners have buried a lot of treasure in this forest, and you need to find them within the next seven days. Only the ten candidates who find the most valuable treasure will pass." He said with a smile, looking rather overly gentle.

Rogoff, whose face was turning slightly green, slowly spoke up: "The food means that during the seven days of the exam, the three of us examiners will be responsible for our three meals a day. If any one of us finds the food unpalatable, we will fail."

"Of course, if you pass the exam, you'll be considered good if all three of us agree on even one occasion."

"Only those who are qualified in both aspects can be considered truly qualified."

Most of the people present looked somewhat embarrassed.

Fighting and killing are easy for them, but cooking...

Togari stood to the side, his voice low, "I have no demands."

In any case, the fact that they can find the most valuable treasure is enough to disqualify many people.

"Now, the exam begins," Bindo announced, clapping his hands.

In an instant, most of the candidates rushed in all directions, their figures disappearing into the forest in a flash.

The remaining small group, such as Su Wu, the few drowned dogs lying on the ground who had just climbed out of the sea, and others...

Hisoka waited until the two non-humans started to move before slowly following them.

Great, the pervert's attention has been completely diverted by the two non-humans, so there's no need to worry about him getting attached to them.

Although it's not nice to say it that way, but—

I'm really not a male warrior, Hisoka should go play with other people.

Su Wu thought to herself expressionlessly, then got up and leaped a few times, disappearing into the woods as well.

Cang is not very convenient to use in the forest because there are too many trees, but fortunately his speed is already quite fast.

Treasures are not living things, and they don't contain any so-called energy, so they should be very difficult to find.

However, the people who buried the treasure possessed energy, and the treasure that passed through their hands would bear traces of residual energy. Therefore, by examining those subtle residual energies, one could find the location where the treasure was hidden.

For Su Wu, the most difficult things were actually assessing the value of the treasure and cooking the food herself.

God knows his standard of living was practically zero. He had never even washed his own clothes before, not even after moving to Meteor City, because he had the kids from the 12th District wash them for him.

The child initially disagreed, but after being physically persuaded, he had no choice but to nod with tears in his eyes.

After he left Meteor City, he would throw away his clothes when they got dirty and buy new ones, and he would eat at restaurants.

I've never bothered with these things.

"I don't understand the value at all. I'm not a jewelry appraiser..." Su Wu stood in front of a tree and looked up at it.

This is a tree about five meters tall, purplish-black in color, with black holes in its trunk that resemble eyes and a mouth, and even branches on both sides that look like hands.

The art style is incredibly cheesy, like plants from a bizarre world.

In particular, Liu Yan observed that the tree's life energy was more vigorous than that of 90% of the test takers.

"Devil Tree?" Su Wu hastily came up with a name for the tree.

Then the tree suddenly moved.

The hole in the tree trunk, which should have been a mouth, was wide open, emitting a chant that sounded like it came from hell: "Aa ...

The black, thorny brambles swung about as if in a dance, each swing aimed directly at Su Wu.

Clearly, this was an attack.

"It sounds awful..." Su Wu covered her ears, her expression of disgust clearly visible.

I can't take it anymore.

He stretched out his left hand, and a dark blue energy ball gradually grew in his palm. An invisible gravitational force drew the surrounding fallen leaves toward him, only to crush them into dust in an instant. The leaves of the grass and trees were forced to face him.

"Cang—" The dark blue ball of light was pushed toward the trees.

In an instant, where the tree had been, only a charred crater remained.

A long, scorched ravine appeared ahead.

"Well, after all, Cang is a wide-range attack..." Su Wu withdrew her hand and looked at the scene, nodding slightly with satisfaction.

The Azure he uses now is much more powerful than the Azure he used at the beginning.

"I hope I won't be punished for damaging the greenery here?" he pondered.

Since it's being used as an exam venue, it should be fine, right?

He crouched down, dug away the scorched soil beneath the tree roots, and unearthed a treasure chest.

Upon opening the treasure chest, one finds a mirror inside. The silver mirror is inlaid with sapphires, and the surface is crystal clear.

It looks pretty, but "silverware shouldn't be that valuable, but the sapphire on it might be more expensive..." Su Wu weighed the mirror in her hand.

"However, antiques, if they have a special history, then their value is extraordinary..." He observed the mirror, pondering whether it had any so-called special history.

But he had absolutely no idea about the historical background of this world.

This was the first time in Su Wu's life that she had experienced the pain of not having enough knowledge.

He was illiterate.

"There's no other way, there's only one option left," Su Wu sighed as she made her decision.

The examiner didn't say we couldn't steal it, right? As long as no one else can find the treasure and only he has it, wouldn't his treasure be the most valuable?

He'd decided that once the others found their treasures, he would go and steal them all.

Anyway, some people will either not find the treasure or die at the hands of monsters or plants.

Just like the mirror he discovered, which was buried next to the roots of that devil tree.

Other treasure chests are probably placed next to some strange plants or in the lairs of dangerous beasts.

All we need to do is keep a close eye on everyone's movements and be ready to take advantage of any trouble.

"Everyone, keep going!"

"How good my grades are depends on how hard you all work," he said, sitting on a tree branch, leaning against the trunk, admiring the moon with a cheerful voice.

From this angle, the moonlight is beautiful tonight too.

Of course, the candidates' embarrassing and disgraceful state is even more something to look forward to.

He should have added fuel to the fire.

He closed his eyes to observe the life energy around him, and opened them when he sensed that two individuals were about to meet.

With a push of his right foot against the tree trunk, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Please understand, adults, I truly did not mean to lie.

I'm so eager to get featured! Please, please!
