The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Instead of leading the examinees in circles, Saci took the shortest route to the Shimeile Wetland. Saiki Kusuo used his X-ray vision to observe the entire area, ensuring that no one was left behind in the collapsed section of the tunnel.

The tunnel is still collapsing and cannot be restored yet because the aftereffects of the bomb are still lingering. Countless thoughts and ideas are running through Saiki Kusuo's mind. He can already see many people running while his mind is racing.

Good grief, what's with starting a revolving lantern display before he's even dead?

The sounds of tunnel collapse continued to be heard. Saji contacted the other examiners of the Hunter Exam, and someone immediately went into the tunnel to investigate the situation.

"Hey, Kusuo-nii!" The communicator hidden under Kusuo Saiki's white coat rang. It was set up so that the phone he gave to Killua could speak directly from this phone. "You took Alluka, didn't you? Tell me quickly, are you still safe? We're almost at the finish line now. The finish line is at Shimeile Wetlands. You just need to get onto land!"

"Killua-nii brought me out! Killua, I'm alright!"

Alluka was holding up her phone when Saiki Kusuo jumped up and placed her by the door where the group was about to exit. The door was already creaking open.

"Where is Brother Nanxiong going?"

Kusuo Saiki used money to switch the drones from Killua's side to Alluka's side, ensuring Illumi's normal operation, and then used teleportation to return to the tunnel.

The stone fell, but Kusuo Saiki blocked it with his telekinesis. He then placed his hand on the wall and used Restore.

Even large targets can be easily restored to a day ago; stones begin to return to their original positions, and collapsed land begins to recover. But living things cannot be restored; they must be touched to be restored. So the injured remain injured, and the runners continue to run. Their time does not return to a day ago.

The teleportation has a three-minute cooldown. Saiki Kusuo looked at the stairs above, put his hands in his pockets, and walked up step by step.

"Brother Nanxiong, I've picked up Alluka! Where are you? Hey, why did Alluka tell me you went back into the tunnel? Come out! Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"

Idiot, didn't I tell Alluka not to tell anyone?

Alluka: My brother is none other than...

Is Xiaonan still in the tunnel?

Illumi, who had been watching his brothers intently, turned his gaze to the tunnel. At that speed, the tunnel was about to collapse. With that thought, he took a step forward.

At this moment, many people looked into the tunnel to see those who had not yet escaped, or those waiting for the tunnel to collapse, while others were still moving away from the entrance.

However, no further sounds of a complete collapse came from inside the tunnel for a long time. Kusuo Saiki, head down, adjusted his glasses and silently climbed the steps. Even so, people couldn't ignore his clean white lab coat, unharmed and remarkably fresh-faced compared to the others.

This reflects the thoughts of most people at that moment.

"Ugh, ugh." Kusuo Saiki sighed. "Seriously, I hate this feeling of being stared at by countless eyes."

"Brother Nanxiong!" Killua ran over excitedly, and Gon came over to celebrate with him.

"It's so good that you're out safe and sound!"

Leorio was too exhausted to speak, Kurapika was also very tired, and everyone was panting.

This level of escape was very easy for Illumi, Hisoka, and Chrollo; the three of them were perfectly safe and sound in their respective locations.

No famous scene unfolded, with monkeys impersonating Sasuke appearing, and the animals were frightened away by the brief earthquake that had just occurred.

How should I put it? This plot seems to have deviated slightly from its original course because of him. Is that alright? Kusuo Saiki thought to himself, no, Killua threw the bomb. He only bears 0.2% of the responsibility.

Kusuo Saiki scanned the entire room and noticed something unusual.

The number of people who passed the first half of the exam has increased significantly.

At this moment, examiners Saji and Hisoka were also noticing the number of people in the room, and a thought simultaneously crossed their minds:

Kusuo Saiki: So why is Hisoka also thinking about this? Are you the hidden examiner? Two completely unrelated people are thinking in sync!

From what I recall, Hisoka will kill some people in the next round of exams, which will also be a test for the main characters.

Satsuki didn't give everyone much time to rest, and once again started running with his long legs, leaving the others to keep up. The surface of the Shimeile Wetlands wasn't suitable for skateboarding, so Kusuo Saiki returned Alluka's skateboard to Killua, picked her up, and walked into the jungle.

"Brother Nanxiong? Aren't you going with Brother Killua this time?"

Unfortunately, Illumi assumed that Killua was still a child and unable to protect Alluka, so the conditions for Alluka to play outside were indeed harsh.

Kusuo Saiki asked, and looking at Alluka who appeared perfectly normal, he mentioned Nanika. The reason for Nanika's appearance wasn't the mask; that mask was a symbol of her ability being activated. Only Kusuo Saiki, who could hear her thoughts, knew that Alluka was now under Nanika's control.

“I love it! Killua is my favorite.” Nanika said without hesitation.

Kusuo Saiki patted Nanika's head.

Because Nanika likes Killua, if Killua wanted Nanika to use her powers, he wouldn't need to ask, he could just give her a command.

He recently re-evaluated his assessment of Illumi. Illumi's attitude towards Alluka was surprisingly unfamiliar. If Illumi knew that Killua could directly command Nanika, the consequences could be terrifying. Illumi has already planted seeds in both his and Killua's minds; could this feeling of control make him want to attack Alluka?

"Brother Nanxiong, what are you thinking about?" Nanika tilted his head and asked innocently, seemingly oblivious to the world around him.

Chapter 41 Hunter Exam: Mad-Nosed Porcupine

Nanika and Alluka always knew that their older brother, Saiki Kusuo, had a wish.

His favoritism towards himself is a way of giving thanks for his wish in advance; it is a gift that has been given to him. One day, Kusuo Saiki will make his wish and then disappear.

Therefore, Nanika hasn't made any requests to Nanxiong for a long time. She has already fulfilled three wishes, far more than three. She is willing to appear anytime Nanxiong wants to make a wish.

Nanica didn't know how to answer that question, because desires were immeasurable, and the growth of power was even more difficult to measure.

Kusuo Saiki made this wish.

Unlike his wish from long ago, there was no black hole to suck him in. Or perhaps this time, everything was countless times faster before a black hole appeared. Some kind of force appeared directly beside Kusuo Saiki and grabbed him. The next moment, Kusuo Saiki was thrown onto the moon.

Kusuo Saiki stood on the moon, and all he could see when he looked up was darkness. The Hunter's Continent was on the other side of the light, so this side of the continent was only darkness, perhaps a part of the Dark Continent.

And what about the surrounding area? The moon is not a perfect sphere, but the side facing the world is spherical. There are endless barriers around the world. Kusuo Saiki instantly understood that these were part of the world of the Hunter x Hunter manga, not the universe as we know it scientifically!

To make a wish to go home, one must break through the barriers of the world and also need Nanika to understand this concept.

Nanika remained where she was, and Kusuo Saiki did not linger for long before teleporting back to Nanika's side.

The whole process took only five seconds.

However, Alluka was crying, tears streaming down her face, and she was very surprised to see Saiki Kusuo return.

"Nanxiong-ge, you're back?"

So, what happened to Nanica?

Oh, is there a misunderstanding?

Kusuo Saiki patted Alluka's head:

Kusuo Saiki picked up Alluka. The two shared one body, switching between it so seamlessly that he wouldn't be able to tell them apart without their telepathic connection. Compared to Nanika, Alluka was much more curious about the outside world, so Alluka...

"Great! How big are these big creatures?"

Kusuo Saiki used his telepathy to locate him and teleported him to a certain spot in the Lost Melody Wetlands.

Others: Trials.

Kusuo Saiki: Truly taking Alluka on a trip.

It wasn't until Killua's message came again that Kusuo Saiki teleported with Alluka to the second examination hall.

In a corner, Illumi began to ponder.

Kusuo Saiki reported to his family that his abilities included teleportation and equivalent substitution. He had always thought teleportation was only for short distances, but now it seems to be able to teleport over a much wider range. Has he grown in skill? What are the conditions? Is it simply a matter of coordinates or does it require specific items? Moreover, he can bring people with him. If used well, Kusuo Saiki could become an excellent assassin in a short period of time, if he so desired.

Kusuo Saiki: Big brother, you haven't given up yet?

In the second examination room, some people were indeed eliminated, but not many.

200 people? Kusuo Saiki didn't remember the number of people in the second exam room in the manga, but he hoped the difference wouldn't be too big.

The examiners for the second exam were Menchi and Buhara, two gourmet hunters. Buhara was very fat and sat behind Menchi. From his inner voice, Saiki Kusuo felt that he was a very gentle person, while Menchi had a grumpy face, and it was obvious whether he was easy to get along with.

The second exam only had 30 people, that's too few. What kind of pass rate is that? The Hunter Association has so many hunters now, isn't it going to face an aging population in the future? They'll all be old people like Netero.

The first challenge was set by Buhara: roast a whole pig. It was a porcupine with a wild nose. Kusuo Saiki sensed that there were only 180 of them in the forest. Were they going to hunt down an extinct species? Were they gourmet hunters or extinction hunters?

Kuroro tilted his head in thought.

Kusuo Saiki passed by Chrollo and led Alluka away from the crowd ahead of time.

"Da da da……"

A swarm of wild-nosed porcupines charged towards the crowd, eliminating many people in the process.

Amidst the wind and sand, Kusuo Saiki held Alluka in his arms, burying Alluka's face in his clothes to shield her from the dust.

"Wow..." Alluka's eyes lit up as she watched the wild boar run past.

"Is this the group of things?!" the examinees shouted.

Everyone rushed out in groups. Kusuo Saiki put Alluka down, Killua took Alluka, and the main characters rushed into the forest to catch wild boars, while Kusuo Saiki followed far behind.

The porcupine attacks with the intent to kill people by running them over, and Kusuo Saiki has no pity for this beast; if he catches it, he'll exterminate it.

It seems another examinee has died. Although it almost happened right before his eyes, Kusuo Saiki did not intervene. Everyone who came here to take the exam should know that they might die, and he didn't need to meddle.

But what about the future? Kusuo Saiki couldn't help but think about the future. As the story of the manga progressed, he would inevitably encounter many scenes of death. Should he save those characters who were supposed to die? He had already made a deal with Chrollo: if the butterfly effect wasn't too severe, the first person he would save would be Uvogin.

Should we consider the chain reaction that might occur if we were to rescue Uvogin one day? It's entirely possible that rescuing Uvogin's Phantom Troupe would result in even more deaths.

It's best not to meddle in other people's business anymore. Kusuo Saiki reminded himself that the Phantom Troupe had done many bad things and would die one day—he was aware of that. In the Yorknew City incident, he only needed to fulfill his promise; Kurta was the only exception. He shouldn't do anything unnecessary in the future.

But from another perspective, as a member of the Zoldyck family, could he really get away?

Judging by his original worldview, he is now surrounded by villains.

The Phantom Troupe wouldn't be them if they didn't cause trouble. Kusuo Saiki was able to get along normally with Chrollo and always knew that the word "kindness" had nothing to do with them. That's just how the setting is.

What's terrifying is that if you replaced the Phantom Troupe with Illumi and Hisoka, it would be the same. In Illumi's eyes, the interests of his family come first, and Killua's status is the highest, even above his own. He doesn't care how many lives are lost when it comes to Killua.

Is Hisoka safe for the main characters? That's because of his patience in nurturing the Devil Fruit. He protected Gon before the fruit fully matured, even though he was going to harvest it in the future. In other words, his intention to kill Gon was there from the very beginning; he had overheard something.

We know too many characters and people, and death can happen in the future that only we know, so we can't ignore it like it's in the past. This world is a cruel world, and we need to have a clearer understanding of some things, closer to the facts of this world.

This place is completely different from the peaceful modern city of the original world, and my identity is completely different from that of an ordinary family in the original world.

Chapter 42 Hunter Exam Fish

Kusuo Saiki was deep in thought in a corner of the forest, while a wild boar was engulfed in flames beside him. Everything was happening out of thin air, but everyone was busy making their own roasted whole pigs, and no one noticed that he hadn't even used any firewood.

Of course, the internal organs were also removed. Taking advantage of the fact that no examinees had gone to Menchi's side yet, Saiki Kusuo was the first to use teleportation to bring the whole roasted pig to Buhara.

Ugh, I've been thinking too much. I don't want to think about how to explain to people that I, being physically weak, am carrying a whole roasted pig. I might as well just carry it over. As for the examiners? The examiners already know that several candidates here have Nen abilities.

This includes his superpower being mistaken for Nen.

In the end, Buhara ate all the roasted whole pigs without wasting a single one, and 90 people passed the exam.
