Chapter 150: Comprehensive Anime Spirits: Starting from Hunter x Hunter Chapter 71

~8 min read 1,433 words

In addition, the traps just before the finish line became even more terrifying, trapping many and making it hard for them to advance.

One of these traps left a deep impression on Luo Ge.

It turned the entire road into a treadmill.

The conveyor belt's surface moved at high speed, requiring one to run faster than its backward velocity to make progress.

After long-distance running, many were already exhausted by this point and lacked the burst strength needed to cross it.

As a result, many could only watch helplessly as others passed over the treadmill, while they remained stranded on the other side, staring longingly.

Kuppa looked at Luo Ge, fell silent for a moment, then said:

"A strong person like you appearing in the Hunter Exam is beyond my imagination."

"Not only that, your two companions are also formidable—any one of them could serve as a Hunter Exam proctor."

"You three probably just came here to go through the motions."

Kuppa spoke truthfully; both Luo Ge and Maki's strength was exceptional.

Luo Ge aside, even Maki alone was strong enough to be a proctor.

Luo Ge nodded but said nothing more.

"Shall we end the second exam here?"

"Correct."

"Next, you must board a ship at this port to reach the venue for the next exam."

Kuppa did not hide this—it was exactly what he planned to announce next.

Luo Ge roughly sensed it: the total distance was about forty-five kilometers, and with all the traps, the difficulty was high.

Few would likely remain.

Over the next five minutes, people arrived one by one.

Among them was Watching Feitan, who bore no fresh blood but reeked of blood all over.

By the end, only a handful of twenty or thirty people had arrived; the rest had been eliminated.

The second exam eliminated over a hundred more.

The exam was brutal.

But it was partly due to Watching Feitan and his group.

Many had been frightened away directly.

Among them was Dongba.

Dongba knew when to quit and withdrew early from this exam.

He had seen Luo Ge and Watching Feitan in succession.

This made his sense of danger increasingly intense, so for the first time ever, he voluntarily withdrew during the second exam.

He valued his life too much.

After all, only by staying alive could he continue participating in the Hunter Exam and obstruct other candidates.

He regarded this as his lifelong pleasure, something he intended to pursue forever.

Even if he passed the exam and became a Hunter, he might not even want to.

With fewer people, the arena grew sparse.

Luo Ge's trio also noticed Watching Feitan's group.

Their aura stood out sharply among the ordinary crowd.

Luo Ge showed slight surprise.

Could it be that he encountered Watching Feitan's group here?

Given the timeline, the Phantom Troupe must have already formed…

But Kikyo joined later—he shouldn't be appearing alongside Watching Feitan and Finks right now.

Could this be some butterfly effect caused by me?

In the original, Kikyo had a Hunter license, but Watching Feitan and Finks didn't, did they?

Yet now they're all here together in the Hunter Exam.

Maki seemed vaguely familiar—he thought he'd seen someone with a similar face in the Meteor Street before.

Little Drop didn't recognize Watching Feitan or his group at all.

Their first impression of Watching Feitan's trio was that they were hostile.

Their gazes were like hunters watching prey.

"Hah, they're faster than you, Feitan—aren't you the one who boasts about being the fastest?"

"Looks like they've got some real strength too."

Finks clenched his fists, his fierce face brimming with battle lust—he wanted to fight Luo Ge.

"Tch!"

"Say another word and I'll cut you down!"

Watching Feitan's tone was icy; his gaze toward Luo Ge brimmed with intense malice, as if his pride had been wounded.

Kikyo remained silent, silently calculating something.

They noticed Luo Ge's trio looked strong, and the Phantom Troupe still had vacant positions.

Perhaps they could recruit them into the Troupe?

But since they all came from Meteor Street, bringing in three outsiders might not be appropriate?

Luo Ge glanced at the three chatting casually, his expression unreadable, his mind empty of thoughts.

He had no fondness for the Phantom Troupe.

If Feitan and the other two were sensible, he would be too lazy to seek them out.

But if they could not tell the big king from the small one and insisted on coming to cause trouble, then he would not fear the trouble.

The current Phantom Troupe is far from as powerful as it will be later; handling them would not be any trouble for him.

Even facing the retaliation of the entire Troupe, he would not show a shred of fear.

This is the confidence strength gives him!

【Six Nen users... and the other one should be from some special race】

Kurapika took in the situation on the field, realizing that this year's quota should be exceptionally high.

At least, barring accidents, those six Nen users becoming Hunters is without a doubt.

The remaining person (Amok) also has physical attributes far exceeding those of ordinary people; placed in past years, he would absolutely have passed the exam.

Counting this up, just these people make seven.

Perhaps the final quota will be entirely taken by them.

However...

It seems a scene of dragon and tiger struggle will be played out?

Kurapika also noticed Feitan's undisguised malice toward Luo Ge and felt that the two sides would likely fight later.

Clearing his throat, Kurapika spoke:

"The second exam ends here!"

"Next, you must board that ship and proceed to the location of the third exam."

Following Kurapika's pointing, a ship that had been waiting for a long time was moored at the port, still imprinted on the surface with the Hunter Association's emblem.

On the vast sea,

a ship carrying the examinees toward the next exam site left a long wake on the azure sea surface.

The ship's speed was not low; the sea wind blowing against them was very cool, making the people who had just exercised and whose bodies were hot feel comfortable.

According to the broadcast, the location they were to proceed to next was an island located in the waters of Carter Port.

As time passed, about half an hour later, everyone could see the outline of the island in the distance.

The island's overall area was not large; the terrain was somewhat distinctive, with most of the area being sandy beaches, and only the central zone being forest.

The ship sailed into the shore,

and everyone saw the examiner waiting for a long time on the shore.

And upon seeing this examiner, Luo Ge and the other two immediately widened their eyes, as if seeing something unbelievable.

Because they saw an acquaintance.

It was a petite figure.

The woman's face was youthful, wearing a wine-red princess dress with gorgeous patterns.

A golden-yellow ponytail was tied at the back of her head, shining brilliantly under the sunlight; her red eyes were as brilliant as gems.

No matter how one looked at it, this person was a young loli, very inconsistent with everyone's understanding of an examiner.

They felt that even if the examiner was not middle-aged, at the very least, she must be an adult?

From any point of view, this "girl" did not look like an adult.

This "girl" was exactly Biscuit!

Biscuit stood on the sandy beach, and at a glance saw Luo Ge and the other two standing like wooden chickens; she smiled slightly as a greeting.

However, this smile was full of cunning meaning.

She had been waiting for this moment for quite some time.

Back when training in the Forest of Beasts, she had received a call from Netero.

Netero specifically made the call, actually wanting Biscuit to serve as the examiner for this year's Hunter Exam.

At first, Biscuit felt it was troublesome; thinking there were still Luo Ge and the other two to teach, she intended to decline.

However, she then thought she could have Luo Ge and the other two take the Hunter Exam.

When they discovered their Master had become the examiner, their reaction would surely be very surprised, right?

Thus, Biscuit accepted this task and transformed into this year's examiner.

Immediately after, the examinees got off the ship one by one and consciously stood in front of Biscuit.

Shizuku was still a bit disbelieving.

"Machi, do you say that person is really Biscuit?"

"Could she be an imposter?"

Biscuit, who was eavesdropping, stiffened in expression and clenched her fist.
