The playing card in Hisoka's hand spun rapidly, his gaze fixed intently on Morin. Yet, in the end, he didn't give an answer.
"Now isn't the right ti, is it?" His killing intent and battle spirit gradually subsided. "There will be a day, but not today."
"I'm really looking forward to that day!!" Hisoka let out a chilling, peculiar laugh, his figure gradually disappearing among the more than four hundred examinees. Ultimately, he made a wise choice. After observing up close, he could sense Morin's extraordinary nature.
"How was it?" Illumi, under the alias Gittarackur, appeared out of nowhere, sidling up to Hisoka to ask.
"MAX!!!" Hisoka's response was a succinct evaluation.
"Hmm?!" Illumi looked over, puzzled.
"His evaluation, MAX!!!" At this mont, although Hisoka no longer exuded the previous killing intent and madness, the perversion and eagerness on his face were even more pronounced than before!
"That's the most perfect physical condition I've ever seen!!" Hisoka analyzed in a low voice. "I'm not sure if there's anyone else of this caliber in the world, but for now, he's the only one I've encountered!!"
"Even Chrollo, Uvogin, and others haven't reached his level; they're far behind!!" "He's already beyond my evaluation range!!"
"Is it really that exaggerated?!" Even Illumi, usually as composed as iron, was sowhat surprised by Hisoka's cryptic remarks.
"Perhaps it's even more exaggerated than I thought!!" Hisoka's laughter grew increasingly twisted. "I once thought Chrollo was a ripe apple, perfect for picking. But it turns out he's just a small appetizer, with the main course saved for last."
"Can you handle it?" Illumi worried about Hisoka's appetite. "I wouldn't want to lose a partner I can still talk to."
"Not now?" Hisoka licked his lips, seemingly savoring the thought of that exquisite taste. "But there will be a day!!!"
After a brief greeting with Hisoka and seeing him retreat, Morin knew that at least in this Hunter Exam, Hisoka wouldn't trouble him.
Although Hisoka was eager to fight strong opponents, it didn't an he was entirely driven by desire. Otherwise, he would have already stord into the Hunter Association building to challenge Netero.
Realizing the significant gap between his current strength and Morin's, Hisoka naturally chose to hide for now.
He would wait for what he deed an appropriate opportunity to erge and have a good match with Morin.
As for what kind of opportunity would be appropriate? Morin estimated that it might never co in Hisoka's lifeti.
"Morin, do you know that guy too?!" Leorio, recovering from the shroud of Hisoka's killing intent, patted his chest, looking as if he had narrowly escaped death. "How can such a dangerous guy participate in the exam?!"
"Because the Hunter Exam changes examiners every year, and the initial content is decided by the examiners themselves," Kurapika exhaled a sigh of relief. "As long as the examiner of the year approves, even a demon can qualify."
"That man called Hisoka is scarier than a demon," Leorio smacked his lips, recalling the encounter with a bitter taste in his mouth.
"I've only t him twice, just a regular work relationship, not very familiar," Morin thought for a mont and gave a standard answer.
Work relationship? The group silently glanced at Morin. What kind of job could release such terrifying killing intent? They were both curious and sowhat in awe of Morin.
The relationship among the three had been going well, but with Morin, there was always a sense of distance. Gon, with his pure nature and straightforward way of doing things and speaking, could chat with Morin.
However, Kurapika and Leorio felt as if they were from different worlds compared to Morin. They had a vague feeling that the world and level Morin was in were beyond their reach.
Not just them—when Hisoka and Morin's gazes collided, the aura they emitted made so nearby examinees freeze. It was a terror that made one's heart tremble and feet unable to move!
Many skilled examinees sensed it too, which is why they were particularly silent now. They suddenly realized that there were too many experts in the Hunter Exam. Could they really obtain the license smoothly?
Not ntioning the examinees' concerns about the future, in the crowd— "No wonder the elder repeatedly warned to be extra careful when taking the Hunter Exam. It turns out there are people like this among the examinees." In the crowd, a bald head glead with sweat.
"It's like a power not belonging to humans (just like my brother)!" Sharing the sa feeling was a certain silver-haired youth.
Killua, with a look of fear, glanced at Morin and Hisoka, his entire body retreating to press against the wall. It seed only by doing so could he gain a sense of security.
"From now on, I need to stay as far away from them as possible!" At this mont, both Hanzo and Killua made the sa decision in their hearts, their expressions unchanged but filled with apprehension inside.
"Ring ring ring..." Suddenly, a piercing bell rang out in the tunnel. Looking towards the sound, a hidden door opened on the wall above the tal pipe.
A man in a suit, with pink-purple hair and two curled mustaches that covered his mouth, stepped out from the hidden door, standing on the tal pipe.
He held a peculiar creature resembling a strange bird, and the bell-like sound ca from this unknown creature's mouth.
"Registration ti... is now over." The examiner for this test, Satotz, put away the tikeeping creature. "The Hunter Exam officially begins!!"
"Please follow this way." He descended from the pipe and headed to one end of the passage. "Let state in advance, the Hunter Exam is extrely harsh. Those with bad luck or lacking strength may get injured or even die." Satotz began walking with a standard marching posture, moving forward.
"Incidents like the conflicts between examinees just now, leading to irreversible consequences, happen from ti to ti." As he spoke, he glanced slightly at Morin and Hisoka. Clearly, he had witnessed what had happened earlier.
"Anyone who wants to back out, please take the elevator back. Those who wish to continue, follow ." Despite the cautious warning, not a single examinee backed out.
What a joke, having finally found the location of the first test, who would retreat now? Most examinees held the sa thought and tightly followed behind Satotz.
"I understand. So, the participants for this test total 405. The test officially begins." Excluding the unlucky ones whose arms were disabled by Hisoka and could no longer participate, no one withdrew.
"I haven't introduced myself to everyone yet. I'm Satotz, the examiner for the first test. Next, I'll lead you to the venue for the second test. Those who can follow to the second test venue will pass the first test."
"However, please rember, I won't reveal the location of the venue or the ti to reach it, so you can only follow closely."
Satotz walked at the front of the group, explaining the content of the first test.
Thus began the Hunter Exam, a super long-distance marathon in the dim underground passage, with no known destination, where examinees had to keep up with the examiner's pace.
The underground passage was long, not to ntion the stairs that needed to be climbed later.
After all, this was a super marathon starting from a hundred floors underground, and reaching the surface required crossing at least a hundred floors. So, it was a test of endurance and physical strength.
"However, what I hate the most is running." After only a short while of running, Morin shook his head.
Whether in his past life or this one, he always hated running. He didn't mind other sports, but running was an exception.
It was like Kung Fu Panda's Po, whose nesis was stairs. Morin could be said to have a deep-seated aversion to running.
"Let see~" "A tool suitable for ultra-long-distance movent or travel..." Morin was flipping through his inventory of tools.
The empty underground passage was silent, with only the sound of the group's footsteps echoing continuously as they moved forward on the unknown path.
Leorio, at this mont, was already exhausted. "The unseen finish line can create a heavy psychological burden, so this is also a test of our willpower."
Having learned about Leorio's past from him, Kurapika rarely encouraged him: "Hang in there, Leorio!!"
