Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

The 287th Professional Hunter Exam, nominally the last round, was presided over by a man in strange clothes but with a serious look.

The dome hat he wore and the high-collared jacket he wore were all black and white stripes like a cow, and there was even a pair of horns on his hat.

Everyone had a feeling... this was a weirdo.

However, none of the candidates who made it all the way to the last round dared to look down on the man in front of them because of his appearance.

Because the fools who judged people by their appearance were screened out in the first few rounds.

"My name is Mi Cai Yi Si Storm." "Ugly Bull" took an open report folder, looked down, and began to introduce himself.

"I am the vice president of the Hunter Association and the examiner of the last round of the 287th Professional Hunter Exam."

Only then did everyone know that his identity and position were so high.

When Mi Cai Yi Si Storm said this, his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to a month ago.

After the celebration banquet of the Chimera Ant Suppression War, President Netero disappeared without a trace, but suddenly reappeared and used his "presidential power" to make an appointment.

Qiduo and Micai Istrom served as vice presidents of the Hunter Association and jointly presided over many affairs of the Hunter Association.

After that, President Netero disappeared again, this time taking Mo Laowu, Nobu and other members of the Chimera Ant Suppression Team with him, and no one knew where he went.

However, it is not uncommon for a civil organization to have a president and multiple vice presidents.

In addition, Qiduo and Micai Istrom are both highly respected and reliable people, so they did not encounter much resistance when they took office.

The core figures of the "Leaving the President" faction, Tradin Newtoral, Psidora Ambisius, and Lupe Highland, raised objections.

They believed that since the former vice president of Palliston resigned for personal reasons, President Netero has monopolized power.

Now President Netero has also appointed members who are loyal to him to important positions such as vice presidents, which is to transform the Hunter Association into a private industry.

Qiduo and Micai Istrom are not as obedient to President Netero as they say, but that is relatively speaking.

In the eyes of the "Leaving the President Faction", the fact is that those who do not try to get rid of President Netero's influence to the greatest extent are all "President Faction".

This is obviously contrary to their purpose of "leaving the President Faction" and refusing to blindly worship President Netero.

However, appointing vice presidents is originally one of the "President's powers". President Netero originally let Palliston take the position against all odds.

Now that he does this, others have nothing to say.

The core trio of the "Leaving the President Faction" can only protest verbally. Without Palliston, who has an ambiguous attitude, they can't do anything to President Netero.

The original delicate balance within the Hunter Association has been completely broken.

Micai Istrom noticed that President Netero is now sparing no effort to demonstrate his influence.

The core trio of the "de-chairman faction" did say something that was true, that is, President Netero is trying to control the Hunter Association to a greater extent.

The previous President Netero would not do what he is doing now, or would not do it so resolutely and thoroughly.

Although President Netero seems to be indifferent now, he has delegated power to Qiduo and Micai Istrum.

But everyone knows that Qiduo and Micai Istrum will listen to him on many things.

This president always jumps out suddenly on some matters to express his opinions.

For example, the content of the last level of the professional hunter exam in front of him was designed by President Netero himself.

He first asked Micai Istrum to ask the candidates about the person they most wanted to fight with and the person they least wanted to fight with.

After obtaining this information, President Netero formulated this plan, which he sent to Micai Istrum's mailbox last night.

What else can Micai Istrum do? The "chairman's power" also includes formulating the content of the professional hunter exam.

He had no choice but to tear up the test plan he had originally designed and use President Netero's plan.

Looking at this plan, Mi Cai Istrum frowned at first, then understood President Netero's intention, and finally chose to believe President Netero.

Judging from President Netero's nickname "Wind-ear", he must have known the excellent performance of the candidates in the previous few levels, and combined with their own wishes, he made such a plan.

This is a test plan that looks quite strange.

First, let the candidates compete one-on-one in a fixed order.

Then it is forbidden to kill, otherwise the killer will be disqualified.

To win, you must let the opponent admit defeat.

In theory, if everything goes well, there will only be one person who will be eliminated in the end, and the rest can pass this year's professional hunter exam.

When Mi Cai Istrum read out this test plan that seemed to be thought of by President Netero on a whim, it immediately caused an uproar among the candidates.

However, the candidates finally accepted this test plan. Not accepting it is not possible, and not accepting it is equivalent to directly admitting defeat.

The sunk cost is too high, and all those who have made it to the last step are unwilling to give up.

The first round is a duel between Xiaojie and a ninja named Hanzo.

Although the battle is one-sided in Hanzo's favor, Xiaojie is unwilling to admit defeat.

His spirit of fearlessness and hatred moved Hanzo.

Finally, Hanzo voluntarily admitted defeat.

Although Xiaojie fainted, he won the victory and passed the professional hunter exam.

While Xiaojie was sent for treatment, the exam continued in an orderly manner.

Kurapika was the second to go on stage, and his opponent was Killua.

Killua was full of confidence at the beginning.

He had noticed that Kurapika was particularly special among the candidates before, and had long wanted to fight with Kurapika to decide the winner.

However, he soon lost to Kurapika inexplicably.

That scene was so powerless that it even reminded him of how he lost to the man named Germain a few months ago.

Kurapika was not very happy, after all, he became a Nen user under the guidance of teacher Germain.

As long as he was not careless, he would not lose to Killua who did not understand Nen.

As Melody said, he was now taking the professional hunter exam, which was like a hungry tiger entering a group of fat sheep, which was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

However, no matter what, he passed the professional hunter exam, which made him feel relieved. He finally did not lose face for teacher Germain.

As for Killua, Kurapika did not rush to comfort him.

He could see that this defeat was a big blow to Killua, and he had a good impression of Killua.

However, no matter what he said now, it was the winner's condescending pity for the loser, which was a humiliation for Killua.

Therefore, Kurapika chose to remain silent.

Later, Hanzo successfully forced Baku to admit defeat in a duel with an archer named Baku, and also passed the exam.

Killua, who came on the field next, seemed to vent his resentment for losing to Kurapika just now, and he used all his strength against his opponent "martial artist" Baudro from the beginning.

Baudro originally wanted to be as stubborn as Gon.

But when Killua showed his ruthless killer nature, he finally defeated Baudro's spirit.

Killua also passed the exam, but he still looked at Kurapika unwillingly.

He wanted to know how Kurapika, who was only a few years older than him, got such a strength that far exceeded his.

The exam was still in progress.

Not long after, the man with needles all over his face appeared, facing Bakuer and easily won.

Leorio appeared after that, and met Bodero, who was beaten by Killua and suffered severe physical and mental injuries. It was a tricky victory.

The last battle was between Bakuer and Bodero, and the result was that Bodero lost every battle.

After going around in circles, in the end, the only eliminated person appeared, and that was Bodero, whose mind was completely broken.

However, Kurapika felt that this was actually a good thing for Bodero.

Because now the candidates who passed the exam, as long as they did not have the ability to read, will face the "real last hurdle" - learning the ability to read.

Bodero is already quite old, and it is not difficult to start learning the ability to read at this time, but there is a high probability that there will be little room for growth afterwards.

If he rashly stepped into the dangerous world of Nen users, he would soon die at the hands of one of them.

When Kurapika was thinking this, another accident happened at the scene of issuing hunter licenses.

The man with the needle suddenly pulled out the thorns on his face, lifted the "disguise", and restored his appearance.

Kurapika recognized him. It was Illumi who cooperated with the Phantom Troupe to attack Mr. Germain on the train that day!

And Illumi's target of attack this time became Killua.

Killua didn't even resist much, and was completely defeated under the intimidation of Illumi's Nen.

Kurapika and Leorio wanted to help Killua, but were stopped by Illumi's words.

"This is a matter between us brothers. I hope you don't interfere at will."

Kurapika and Leorio only then knew that Killua was Illumi's younger brother.

Illumi's dark eyes stared at Kurapika.

"Especially you... If you attack me, things will become very troublesome... Because if I kill you, your teacher will definitely come to find me..."

"To be honest, I don't want to mess with that guy, otherwise there will be a high probability that I will not have a peaceful life in the future."

"I don't want to hide like Kuroro... My family won't let me get close to him."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Killua, I'm just here to take him home."

Killa also told Kurapika and Leorio not to do anything, and then he left the scene in a daze.

Illumi followed closely behind.

Of course, the two brothers took away their hunter licenses.

Kurapika also realized that he was probably not Illumi's opponent at the moment, and since Killua was not in danger of life, he let it go.

Leorio was indignant, but he was more concerned about the unconscious Gon, so he didn't take any follow-up actions.
