Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

Even though Zane's third eye was blocked by his headband, he was still able to catch Hisoka's movements in an instant, severing Hisoka's arms with a chop and sticking him to the tunnel ceiling with "Stretchable Love".

Although it was just a small slip-up, Hisoka's speed and agility still impressed Zane.

The opponent's skills are indeed remarkable. Even without Nen, one would have to take him seriously if they were to fight him.

"That dangerous fellow is back again this year," Dongba muttered to himself.

These words immediately attracted the attention of Xiao Jie and his two companions.

"here we go again?"

"You mean this person also participated in the Hunter Testcode last year?"

Gon and Kurapika couldn't help but ask.

Dongba said with lingering fear, "Number 44, the magician Hisoka, he was almost qualified last year, but he was beaten half to death by an examiner he didn't like..."

"What? This kind of person can still participate in the Hunter Exam this year without any problem?" Leorio said incredulously.

Tonpa nodded and said, "Of course, because the examiners and exam questions change every year, and the exam questions are determined by the examiners. As long as the examiners deem it qualified that year, even a demon can pass. That's the Hunter Exam!"

Finally, seemingly to ease the tension caused by Hisoka, Tonpa enthusiastically said, "By the way, let's be friends, would you like a drink?"

"Okay, that's good, I'm a little thirsty."

"Thanks!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

It has to be said that there is a reason why Tonpa can become a killer for beginners. After a series of conversations, Xiao Jie and the other two naturally took the drinks that Tonpa took out of his bag.

"Here, this is yours." Dongba was secretly pleased to see Xiao Jie and the other two accept the drinks laced with a strong laxative, and then looked enthusiastically at Zain beside him.

From the moment Dongba arrived, Zain hadn't said a word, simply watching the group interact quietly.

Seeing the drinks that Tonpa handed him, and the three of them opening the drinks and preparing to drink them, Zane couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you three idiots? It's one thing for Gon and Leorio to fall for such a low-level trick, but how come you also fell for such a basic move?"

Zane couldn't help but complain, especially when he looked at Kurapika, he looked at him with a disappointed expression.

And he calls himself an Avenger? He usually acts so smart, but this is all he does?

Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika, who were about to drink their beverages, suddenly froze.

Kurapika, in particular, glanced at the drink in his hand, then at Zane's disappointed look, and his delicate face instantly turned red.

"You...!" Dongba was startled and opened his mouth to speak, but before he could utter a single word, his entire face was grabbed by one hand.

"Ugh!!!"

Zain, who had just grabbed the Dongba's face, exerted a slight force, and the powerful grip deformed the Dongba's entire face, turning the words he was about to utter into a muffled sound of pain.

"Zane, do you mean there's something wrong with this guy?" Kurapika, his face burning with embarrassment, asked Zane.

"Isn't this obvious? Don't forget what we're here for. Do you think someone would be kind enough to explain the situation of other candidates to you in the highly competitive Hunter Exam, let alone drink a beverage given to you by a stranger?" Zane complained.

"This drink does taste weird." Xiao Jie sniffed the opened drink, and his exceptional sense of smell immediately detected the anomaly.

"Is there really a problem? You bastard, I thought you were a good person, how dare you cheat us!" Leorio was furious upon hearing this and kicked Tonpa.

The tompa, whose face was being grabbed by Zain, had already lost control of his body. After being kicked, he swung around in mid-air like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll).

"Ahem, I was careless just now... Anyway, Zane, thank you for reminding me." Kurapika tossed his drink into the corner and nodded slightly to Zane, feigning composure.

So embarrassing.

Knowing full well that they were there to participate in the fiercely competitive Hunter Exam, they were completely fooled by a few words.

If it weren't for the crowd, Kurapika would have loved to dive into a pond to cool off.

"Wait, Zane, what did you just mean? What do you mean by 'let's just leave Gon and Leorio alone'?" After kicking Tonpa, Leorio belatedly realized what was happening and glared angrily at Zane.

"Yeah, yeah, Zane, what did you mean just now?!"

Xiao Jie, who had also realized what was happening, pouted and looked at Zane with great indignation.

Zain calmly said, "People should know their own limitations. It's okay to fool others, but don't fool yourself. I've never had any hope for either of you when it comes to using your brains."

Use your brain? No hope?

Zane's words were like two arrows, piercing Leorio and Gon's hearts and leaving them petrified on the spot.

Ignoring Leorio and Gon, who had just been hit hard, and Kurapika, who was still feeling ashamed.

Zain flicked his arm and threw the terrified Dongba, who was practically wetting himself, aside.

Pfft!

The Dongba fell flat on his back, completely ignoring the pain and disfigurement, and immediately performed a nimble and skillful dogeza (lower back to the knee) for Zain.

"I'm sorry, please spare my dog's life!" Without the slightest hesitation, Dongba's forehead slammed heavily on the ground. His tone was solemn yet obsequious, as if he had rehearsed it countless times.

Zain glanced at the other person.

There's definitely a reason why this person was able to survive over thirty hunter tests.

After thinking about it, I realized that this person is quite talented in some ways.

"Get lost!" Zane waved his hand and said.

Even a piece of toilet paper has its uses.

He's only been in this world for a short time, and he might need this guy in the future.

"Thank you, sir!!" Dongba was overjoyed. He looked up abruptly, gave Zain an extremely fawning smile, and then quickly turned and ran to the other side.

There's a reason why he knelt down so quickly.

Before he could even react, Zane grabbed him, and he couldn't break free at all. With his rich experience, Tonpa already understood that Zane, like Hisoka, was someone he absolutely couldn't afford to mess with.

If I can survive, I'd rather kneel and kowtow than sell my ass.

..........

A brief interlude was followed by a long wait.

Because they arrived a day early, Zane and his three companions, like the other test takers, had to spend the night in the tunnel.

Fortunately, the Hunter Association's logistics were very thorough, so there was no need to worry about food.

The next day.

After several more candidates arrived, finally...

Ring ring ring~~~

Rumble~~~

Suddenly, a sharp bell rang in the tunnel. Just as the examinees hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, they saw that the stone wall at the other end of the tunnel, which had been closed off, slowly rose up.
