Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

"First it was Gon, and now it's Kurapika. Why do we always end up facing Hisoka?" Leorio frowned.

He truly felt powerless to face Hisoka.

Zain watched the scene quietly.

The battle between Kurapika and Hisoka did not change much from the original storyline.

After a brief exchange, Hisoka whispered a few words to Kurapika and then voluntarily conceded defeat.

Although this result was surprising, Hisoka's surrender was a fact, so Kurapika successfully qualified.

The third match was between Xiao Jie and Hanzo.

kindness.....

Although Hanzo always emphasized that he was a ninja, his personality, like his talkative mouth, was completely inconsistent with that of a ninja.

Even with examples like Zane forcing Gon to admit defeat.

However, since he hadn't yet come into contact with Nen, and due to his personality issues, even though Hanzo beat Gon to a pulp, he couldn't get Gon to admit defeat again.

After a long and drawn-out struggle, Hanzo finally had no choice but to admit defeat.

This time, Xiao Jie's injuries were far more serious than those caused by Zane before, so Xiao Jie had no choice but to be taken away by medical staff for treatment.

The fourth match is Hisoka versus Tonpa.

"I give up!"

Without any suspense, and without even needing to go on stage, Dongba readily raised his hand to concede defeat.

No one will say anything about Dongba's surrender.

Or perhaps they're just too lazy to say more.

The fifth match will begin immediately, featuring Hanzo and Killua.

Compared to the previous matches, including the battle between Zane and Gon, the battle between Hanzo and Killua was definitely much more exciting.

Unlike the original storyline, where Killua, lacking interest, simply conceded defeat due to Pokkuru's weakness.

Now, facing Hanzo, Killua is clearly in high spirits.

In his observation, among the candidates for this Hunter Exam, excluding himself, Hanzo was second only to Zane and Hisoka.

As soon as the battle was declared to begin, Killua immediately launched a swift and serious offensive.

They employed various assassination techniques employed by the Zoldycks, such as limb bending and stealth steps.

Similarly, Hanzo also went all out, as if venting his frustration at having just helplessly admitted defeat.

In an instant, the afterimages in the arena intertwined, colliding repeatedly.

Zain watched with great interest.

Killua and Hanzo are evenly matched in strength.

"Zane, do you think Killua can win this match?" Leorio was watching very seriously at first, but after a while, he was dazzled by the speed of Killua and Hanzo.

Left with no other choice, he went up to Zain and asked him.

Kurapika, who was standing nearby, also looked over.

He, too, was somewhat unclear about the situation on the field.

"There's a high chance Killua will concede defeat soon," Zane said, giving an answer that surprised the two of them.

Just as Leorio and Kurapika were surprised, it seemed to be in response to Zane's words.

"I give up!"

Suddenly, the battle that had been so intense and evenly matched was interrupted.

Killua, whose condition was unclear, suddenly distanced himself and raised his hand in surrender with a gloomy expression.

After saying that, he didn't wait for the referee to announce it and retreated to the sidelines with a sullen face.

"Killua, why did you suddenly give up?" Leorio couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, I'm just a little bored," Killua replied dismissively.

Leorio wanted to say something more, but Kurapika stopped him with a look.

"Killua, when it's your turn to fight Jitaraku later, you'd better not go up. Just admit defeat." Zane said slowly, looking at the dejected Killua.

Killua looked up in confusion, frowning, and asked, "What do you mean? You think I can't beat them?"

Leorio and Kurapika also looked at Zane in surprise.

Zane ruffled the other's hair and sighed, "Haven't you realized by now that this so-called Jitaraku is actually your brother Illumi!"

He exposed Illumi's identity simply because he couldn't stand it anymore.

If Illumi had simply used his strength to force Killua to obey, that would have been one thing, but he went so far as to use his Nen ability to manipulate Killua's behavior.

Such methods are more than enough to deal with even the most formidable enemies.

In fact, Zane repeatedly rubbed Killua's head not just because it felt good, but also to secretly test the Nen needles inside Killua's head.

But a pity.

Zain hadn't been able to read it for very long.

In short, after several attempts, the Nen needles in Killua's head were found to be extremely secure, and Zane, with his current abilities, was simply unable to remove them.

"Big brother?!" Killua was stunned and subconsciously looked at Illumi not far away.

Not to mention him, Leorio and Kurapika also looked over in astonishment.

It must be said that besides his outstanding ability to disguise himself, Illumi also has a very good control over his own presence.

As a result, his presence was extremely weak throughout the testing process.

Both Killua and Leorio's impression of Illumi was that he might be very powerful, but they would subconsciously ignore him.

"kindness?"

Killua and the other two's gazes could not escape Illumi's senses.

Following the source of the gaze, Illumi completely ignored Leorio and Kurapika, focusing all his attention on Killua.

"Has it discovered me?" Illumi quickly discerned the meaning in Killua's gaze.

He was quite surprised, but quickly accepted his exposure.

After all, he had originally planned to reveal his identity during his battle with Killua.

Thinking of this.

Illumi raised his hand and removed the Nen needles from his face one by one.

As each Nen needle was removed, Illumi's appearance underwent a rapid and bizarre change.

First, it continuously contracted and expanded, then its long, straight black hair cascaded down its back like a waterfall, until its originally zombie-like ugly face became exceptionally refined and handsome.

"What's going on?"

"Disguise?"

When Leorio and Kurapika, who were looking at Illumi along with Killua, saw Illumi's transformative change, they both showed expressions of disbelief.

Killua was in a daze.

That familiar face, and that indifferent expression that seemed frozen in time.

All of this was telling him that his elder brother, Illumi, was actually hiding among the examinees.

Completely subconscious, Killua took a step back, clenching his fists.

"As expected, she's a user of mind control abilities..."

"A terrifying aura; this person is definitely not an ordinary individual."

"So this is what she looks like. She's quite pretty, but her demeanor is really unpleasant."

"......"

As Illumi's transformation unfolds, the others in the examination hall are also drawn to him.

As examiners, and as Nen users themselves, they naturally noticed Illumi's unusual behavior to some extent.

So when Illumi removed his disguise, the examiners were more surprised by his true appearance.

"Sixth match, Leorio vs. Tonpa, please have both candidates come forward!"

The referee was very professional and was not distracted by off-field issues.

His announcement also drew everyone's attention back to the test.
