He didn't use a sword, but pure fists.
Turning a fist into a palm!
He forcefully caught Gon-kun's berserk punch.
"A good punch, but... losing your rationality is not a good outco. Perhaps you should try to control your reasoning."
Kenpachi Riku smiled, his palm suddenly exerting force.
"Ah—"
Gon-kun's scream echoed throughout the hall.
[Divine Power] (Red)!
Completely suppressing [Monstrous Strength] (Gold)!
Added to the fact that Riku's own base attributes far exceeded Gon-kun's, even in pure strength, he held the absolute upper hand.
"Go to sleep."
Letting go, in the split second Gon-kun prepared to attack again, Kenpachi Riku brushed past him.
He lightly flicked his index finger against Gon's forehead.
Gon-kun's body staggered twice, and then he collapsed to the ground.
"..."
The entire hall was dead silent.
From beginning to end.
No one could clearly see the true strength of this newly arrived examiner.
Or rather.
Even geniuses as powerful as the Zoldyck's Killua, or the dark horse Gon-kun, failed to force this Examiner Kenpachi to reveal his true strength.
[Ding! You defeated Gon-kun in a combat stance. 10% chance to automatically copy the target's trait.]
[Ding! Copying trait...]
[Ding! Copy failed...]
"Alright, luck really is an unpredictable thing."
Riku pursed his lips indifferently and slowly walked toward Kurapika's direction.
He rolled his neck, Kenpachi Zaraki's thick neck emitting cracking sounds.
A tall and sturdy physique like a beast.
At this mont, it cast a huge shadow over Kurapika.
"...So strong! This guy!"
"The power of Gon-kun's punch just now was already incredibly astonishing, yet he was still completely defeated..."
"He held back, otherwise they would probably end up like the previous two."
"Kenpachi Zaraki... it seems he will be a rising star of our Association!"
...
nchi, Satotz, and the other examiners continuously exclaid and discussed among themselves.
"I must obtain a Hunter License!"
Kurapika gritted his teeth tightly, staring fixedly at Kenpachi Zaraki. He could even hear his own heartbeat.
Deep within his eyes, streaks of scarlet were spreading.
His emotions were becoming uncontrollably agitated.
To exact his vengeance, he had sacrificed everything, and the Hunter License was the first step of his revenge. He absolutely would not allow himself to stop here.
Even... if he had to face a terrifying guy like a Demon King.
"Of course, every candidate here is trying to obtain a license, aren't they?"
Kenpachi Riku smiled.
Kurapika had, after all, provided him with a super-strong trump card: the Scarlet Eyes.
This thing... could simply be called a transformation device.
"How about we all sit down? What do you say, Candidate #404?"
Kenpachi Riku suddenly suggested.
"Hm!?"
The sudden reversal left Kurapika, whose eyes had already turned slightly red, stunned. He wondered if he had misheard.
It wasn't just him.
Even the several examiners watching from the sidelines were instantly dumbfounded.
"No!? What... what did Examiner Kenpachi just say? Sit down? What does that an?"
"Literally?"
"Is... is this considered going easy on him?"
"Lord Chairman Netero... is this really allowed?"
...
nchi and the others were dumbfounded.
They were also examiners, but they had to fulfill the duties and obligations of an examiner.
Among them included not going easy on candidates, maintaining fairness, and so on.
But now.
This Examiner Kenpachi... is blatantly going easy on them?
No... it's not going easy, it's blatant favoritism and cheating!
"What... what did you just say?"
Kurapika thought he misheard and couldn't help but repeat the question.
Kenpachi Riku didn't speak.
He just smiled and slowly sat down.
"..."
The situation seed to be getting a bit out of control.
Hisoka: "..."
Hanzo: "..."
The Pinhead Illumi: "..."
"Chairman Netero... I... I must report the actual situation of the exam hall to you. This Examiner Kenpachi... he is blatantly violating the principles of an examiner, engaging in favoritism, cheating, and treating candidates differently..."
nchi gritted her silver teeth. Out of responsibility for her position, she still chose to 'report to the authorities'.
This made Buhara, standing beside her, sowhat nervous.
Because Kenpachi Zaraki was simply too strong...
Even he had no certainty whatsoever of defeating the other party. If he were to face him, he felt he would inevitably lose.
Satotz also had a worried look on his face.
Although everyone was an examiner for the Hunter Association, it was obvious that this Mr. Kenpachi Zaraki was a very difficult person to get along with, a guy with a bizarre personality.
The two candidates eliminated just now were proof!
Who knew if he might attack his fellow examiners, especially the 'informant' nchi.
This was absolutely a high-risk move.
"Oh... eh... I have a lot of things to deal with here! nchi, wait a mont..."
"There is no waiting! Chairman Netero, if you don't intervene now, this guy will absolutely turn this exam into a complete ss!"
"Alright, alright, nchi. In my capacity as Chairman, I order you to just quietly watch from the sidelines. Everything... is within my arrangents."
"Ah!?"
Beep beep beep beep...
nchi was dumbfounded as she listened to the busy tone on the phone.
She thought she had misheard.
Chairman Netero... is actually publicly allowing Examiner Kenpachi to engage in favoritism and cheating?
Is this... letting it rot?
In the Chairman's office.
From here, one could overlook the situation in the exam hall.
"Chairman... if you do this, won't it disappoint nchi and the others? Furthermore, the V5..."
Beans said with deep concern.
He had followed Chairman Netero for many years.
But this was the first ti he had seen this Chairman, who had always been very fair, actually turn a blind eye to such blatant favoritism and cheating.
He truly could not understand this scene.
"Do not worry. Just selecting Kenpachi Zaraki was the most correct thing to do; it is enough to make up for all the faults."
"Moreover... this kid is the successor this old man has his eyes on!"
Netero couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
In his field of vision, during the battle just now... the strength Riku displayed pleasantly surprised him.
A true genius!
He was even looking forward to...
How this Kenpachi Riku would deal with those few most dangerous guys.
Hisoka, Hanzo.
Those two guys, perhaps, would make this little guy Riku get truly serious.
"Oh, ti is almost up!"
"Pay attention now!"
Kenpachi Riku suddenly drew his sword.
Boom--
A terrifying slash blossod.
A terrifying sense of oppression, like a mountain collapsing.
Kurapika's expression changed drastically. He wanted to flee, but found that his entire body was enveloped by the slash.
Did I lose?
So this guy did it on purpose, choosing to eliminate at the very last second!?
Kurapika's pupils suddenly contracted, a streak of scarlet erging.
But in the next instant.
The terrifying sense of oppression suddenly vanished, the katana stopping right above his head.
"Ring ring ring ring ring~~"
The sound of an alarm clock rang out.
"Alright! Ti is up! Three minutes. According to our agreent... as long as any single one of you can last past three minutes, you collectively win."
"I, Hunter Association Examiner Kenpachi Zaraki, hereby announce that all of you, including Bodoro, have obtained your Hunter Licenses!!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Kenpachi Riku stood up, slowly sheathed his katana, put his hands on his hips, and let out a beastly roar of laughter.
His burly and tall body gave off an imnse sense of oppression.
Kurapika: "..."
He felt like his head was still buzzing right now.
"Wait!! Examiner Kenpachi!"
"Hm?"
Kenpachi Riku looked at Kurapika.
"Thank you... I will repay this favor one day!!"
Kurapika said.
"Oh, no need, you have already paid for it!"
Kenpachi Riku grinned.
[Ding! Congratulations, you defeated Kurapika. 10% chance to automatically copy trait.]
[Copy successful.]
