Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

"What do you mean by that?"

"Damn it, don't be so arrogant."

"What kind of hunter is a Gourmet Hunter?!"

"......"

Zane and the others' words made some of the candidates who had just mocked him feel ashamed, some were terrified by Zane's strength in defeating Tuodou in one fell swoop, but there were also many who were angry and embarrassed.

The last of them glared at Zane and his three companions, while some even went forward to surround them.

"What, you're not convinced?"

Zane raised an eyebrow and his gaze sharpened as he looked at the glaring examinee.

Om~!

The malevolent energy emanated from it, like invisible tentacles, precisely targeting those who were glaring at it.

Thump!

The students who were just moments ago so arrogant suddenly became shivering as if they were in an ice cellar after being touched by malicious thoughts, and some even collapsed to the ground in despair.

At this moment, Zane appeared to be growing infinitely larger in their eyes, while they themselves appeared to be shrinking infinitely smaller.

This contrast is like an ant looking up at a dragon.

His gaze quickly shifted to fear.

The students were so badly affected by the violent clashing of their teeth that they couldn't even make a sound.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on with these people?"

"How did they suddenly become like this?"

"......"

Seeing the strange changes in these people, the other candidates became increasingly suspicious.

"kindness?!"

The four people behind Zane, including Gon, also looked puzzled.

"What a wonderful taste! You've mastered it so quickly..." Hisoka looked at Zane with burning eyes once again from the crowd.

A soft groan escaped his lips, and his eyes narrowed with delight.

"Okay, that's enough for now!"

A clear shout rang out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Menqi standing at the entrance of the villa.

Zain turned to look at the other person and saw Menchi staring at him. He smiled slightly and withdrew the Nen he had been releasing.

whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

As Zain withdrew his Nen, the mocking candidates did not improve their attitude.

The oppression of evil thoughts had exhausted them mentally and physically. They were like deflated balloons, panting heavily, some lying down, others sprawled out, their bodies soaked in sweat.

Unfortunately, Menchi completely ignored these people.

After giving Zain a deep look, she looked around at the candidates and announced, "The test dish will use pork as the main ingredient. You will go outside to catch some and then use the cooking utensils provided here to cook it. As long as the final dish is approved by me and Buhara, you will pass this test."

"Pig? Do you mean the pigs we usually eat?" The test takers were drawn in by Menchi's words and quickly refocused their attention on the test.

Buhara added, "Any pigs that live in this Biscayne Forest will do. The breed of pig is not limited. The test will end when Menchi and I are full."

After saying this, Buhara slapped his belly hard, and with a muffled sound, he immediately announced the start of the test.

"Hurry up, we need to find a pig quickly."

"Don't even think about getting there first!"

"We're walking this way. On the way here, I noticed traces of wild boars in this area."

"......."

The announcement of the start of the test immediately sent the candidates rushing out of the manor and scattering into the dense forest.

"Let's go too!" Zane waved his hand, and he and the other three entered the forest.

When only Menchi and Buhara remained in the manor... no, and the examinees who were paralyzed by fear of Zain's evil intentions.

"I didn't expect that quite a few people would be eliminated before the test even started." Buhara smiled as he looked at the many candidates still standing there.

"Isn't this good? They don't even have basic respect and cognitive abilities. People like this have no hope of becoming hunters." Menchi sat back on the sofa with disdain.

Buhara nodded and said, "That's true. By the way, should we give some special consideration to candidate number 375?"

As he spoke, he asked Menqi.

Menqi shook her head and said, "No, since the review committee has chosen us as examiners, we must demonstrate professional competence and not show favoritism."

Then she changed the subject, saying, "Of course, I really appreciated the performance of candidate number 375 and the other candidates with him. So after the Hunter Exam, we'll show them what we're made of and let them see the skills of us Gourmet Hunters."

"Great!" Buhara agreed enthusiastically.

Then, Buhara got up and unceremoniously cleared the candidates who were sprawled on the ground to a corner of the manor, waiting for the association members to come and take them away later.

..........

"ah!!!"

A scream rang out from the dense forest, and as if a switch had been flipped, screams followed one after another.

Boom!!!

One after another, pink-faced but two or three-meter-tall ferocious wild boars rampaged through the forest, not only breaking trees in their path but also sending test-takers flying as they tried to capture them.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of pig is this?"

"Ah! Help me! I've been bitten!"

"Damn it, these pigs are carnivorous!"

"......"

The candidates who finally found their target had no time to rejoice before they were met with a devastating blow.

This is because the only pig inhabiting this Biscayne Forest is the mongoose boar, known as the most ferocious carnivorous wild boar in the world.

They are not only huge, but also have naturally large and hard noses.

Even tigers and lions would be easily killed and devoured by the monstrous boar, leaving not even bones behind, just like a little rabbit.

When they found the Big-Nosed Boar, Xiao Jie and his friends were shocked to see it gnawing on bones.

"careful!!"

Seeing the monstrous boar that had also discovered them and was charging towards them in a frenzy, except for Zane, Gon and the others quickly dodged away.

Zane, who remained where he was, watched the massive, nose-bumping boar hurtle towards him like a tank. As the boar approached, Zane raised his right hand and slammed it onto the boar's huge nose.

boom!!!

The ground shook.

The monstrous boar crashed into what appeared to be a towering mountain, its hooves sinking into the ground with the impact, and its massive body was thrown back by the shockwave.

In contrast, Zain, who had turned slightly to the side, stood calmly in place without swaying in the slightest.

Suddenly, just as the Boar with the big nose was knocked back, Zane shifted his feet and appeared beside the Boar with the big nose as if he had teleported.

With both hands in hand, Zane gently patted the nostril-nosed boar's side with his left palm.

Its massive body trembled.

Fresh blood gushed directly from the mouth and nose of the monstrous boar.

Although Zane didn't seem to exert much strength, the Boar with the big nose was struck as if by a heavy blow, and immediately collapsed to the ground, powerless.

Compared to Armament Haki, Nen may not have an advantage in defense, but in terms of offense, it naturally possesses the characteristic of internal destruction.

Looking at the dead Boar with a large nose, Zane lowered his left hand with satisfaction.
