Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 49 Target: Sky Arena

Upon hearing this answer, Pariston's smile remained unchanged as he shifted his gaze from the white-haired boy to the blond figure three steps behind him.

"I don't know anything," Maro shook his head in response to the other person's gaze.

"Is that so? I thought I could learn something from you two survivors..." Pariston said with a smile.

"Has the interview started yet? Ask me any questions you have, I'm very busy." The white-haired, blue-eyed boy clearly didn't have much patience to argue with the other party, and lazily urged him on.

Busy making money to buy pets and weapons.

Every minute wasted costs money.

"Oh ho ho—looks like you're in a hurry..." The president chuckled, but his smile gave a different feeling than Pariston's.

"The interview will still be held indoors. Come with me." He put his hands behind his back and walked forward slowly.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like just an ordinary old man.

"I have nothing to do here, so I'll be leaving now, Chairman Netero," Pariston said with a smile, standing where he was.

Netero simply waved his hand without saying anything.

Su Wu and her companion followed the other person into a private room.

Pink curtains and a green leather sofa in the same room... what a color scheme!

Su Wu twitched the corners of her mouth, ignored the room's decor, and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Maro stood behind his chair and handed him a cup of tea.

"Soak this." Su Wu took out the blood-replenishing medicine from her backpack and handed it to the other person.

Maro ignored everyone else present, carefully picked up the kettle, rinsed the cup three times with hot water, and then poured the medicine in.

President Netero watched all this with a smile, and only after Su Wu had picked up her glass and taken a sip did she speak up and ask, "What do you think of examinee Hisoka Moro?"

Huh? Why are you asking that?

All I can say is that Hisoka is pretty normal when he's not being a monster.

But most of the time he's a crazy, battle-crazed guy.

"...He's a diligent and conscientious fruit farmer," Su Wu replied seriously after thinking for a moment.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room fell into a subtle silence.

What does it mean to give an irrelevant answer? This is an irrelevant answer!

"What were your thoughts when you fought him?" Chairman Netero continued to ask.

"His ability is sticky and a bit disgusting." Su Wu put down her cup, rested her index finger on her chin, and said, "Disgusting," but with an inscrutable smile on her face.

"I see." Chairman Netero nodded knowingly.

Even if the answers he received were meaningless nonsense, he didn't care.

Any answer spoken by a test taker represents a part of the test taker's characteristics.

For example... the answer from the boy in front of me suggests that... he doesn't dislike Hisoka's style, even though the two had recently fought.

He's an interesting newcomer.

Hunters are all capricious, and the other person clearly fits the hunter identity perfectly.

"So, what are your hunting targets?" Netero asked again.

Every hunter must have their own hunting target; this is a rule set by the current president of the Hunter Association, Isaac Netero.

Hill Deville, a name with no past, is said to be an orphan who grew up in Yorkshire.

"Right now, it's money," the white-haired, blue-eyed boy said casually.

Becoming a hunter for money is a very common reason.

But he didn't look like he was short of money; on the contrary, he seemed like the kind of person who regarded money as dirt.

"And you?" Netero looked at the blond boy again.

Marlo Pellischa is a member of the Pellischa family, one of the world's largest mafia families.

Although the Hunter Association does not restrict the identity of the candidates, such candidates are still quite rare.

"I want to become the number one gourmet hunter and make more and more delicious food." The blond boy smiled, looking directly at Netero.

But when he looked at the white-haired boy, his eyes were always lowered.

Does this mean that in Maro Pellissa's mind, the white-haired boy actually holds a higher position than Nitero?

And, the members of the mafia family dream of becoming gourmet hunters...

It's just like hearing that a member of the Zoldyck family, a family of assassins, dreams of becoming someone who benefits society...awkward.

But it's very interesting.

"I understand. Congratulations, you've passed." Netero stroked his beard twice and announced that the two had passed.

"Ah, it's finally over." Su Wu stood up and stretched. "Speaking of which, how much money can you get by mortgaging a hunter's license?"

"There are probably quite a few, oh ho ho, this old man isn't too sure about that," Chairman Netero said vaguely.

"Okay." Su Wu yawned and didn't say anything more.

On January 11, 1998, after taking the exam and listening to the popular science lesson given by the mascot Ludan, Su Wu successfully obtained the Hunter License. Most of the credit should go to Hisoka, who shortened the exam time by more than half.

After obtaining their hunter licenses, Su Wu and Maro didn't linger at the restaurant contracted by the Hunter Association; instead, they immediately packed their bags and left.

"A place where you can make money quickly..." Su Wu pondered as she stood on the bustling street.

In the original work, it seems like you can earn money at the Heaven's Arena.

It seems that if you reach level 190 or 200, you can get a total of more than 200 million gold coins as a reward.

During the match, betting odds will be set up, allowing players to place bets on which side will win.

If you and Maro reach level 190 together, you can get 400 million Jenny. If you place another bet along the way...

Maybe a trip to the Sky Arena will allow me to buy Ugly Treasure.

"Let's go to the Sky Arena," he decided immediately.

Maro, of course, had no objections and excitedly accepted the decision.

In his heart, the adult he chose to follow was the strongest.

Even the president of the Hunter Association is just old. If you want to, you can definitely become the president of the association.

Therefore, every decision made by such a powerful adult is correct.

The two bought tickets for the nearest airship and boarded it to the Sky Arena.

The building housing the Sky Arena is the fourth tallest building in the Hunter World, standing at 991 meters tall with 251 floors.

There is a dedicated airship landing area, with tens of thousands of passengers every day, and many spectators watching each game.

Even newcomers will have audience members cheering them on or booing them from below the stage.

For competitions with floors above 200, tickets are available by chance.

It's fair to say that Sky Arena is a place where you can make a fortune every day.

"This is my first time here... There are so many people..." Maro looked around.

As soon as you step through the gate, you see many people wearing all kinds of martial arts uniforms.

The line of people registering at the front desk had already stretched all the way to the door.

In the rest area, there were also many people who had already registered sitting there, waiting for the competition announcement to be broadcast.

Ugh...queuing is so boring, I really don't want to queue.

Su Wu led Maro directly to the front of the line, ignoring the gloomy and angry gazes of the crowd behind them. They filled out the registration form and handed it to the receptionist, who was already used to this situation and could still maintain a perfect polite smile.

"There are no special rules in the competition. No matter what methods you use, you win as long as you defeat your opponent within the time limit."

"Please wait a moment in the rest area, and we will arrange your first match later," the receptionist said.
