Hunter X Hunter: A Natural Trait Nemesis

Chapter 2 Come On, Let’S Start Fighting

"The trial...starts?"

Zhou Jue was even more surprised. He looked around suspiciously, and a bad premonition came over him.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he looked forward.

I saw just ahead, at the edge of the circular platform.

A yellow dog with gray and dirty hair emerged from the gray fog and walked into the round platform.

The dog's appearance was not good-looking at all. It was small and thin, with yellow teeth and a black mouth. It looked like a wild dog begging for food on the roadside.

The moment he saw the dog, Zhou Jue tensed up unconsciously.

He was very familiar with this kind of dog.

It is a very common native dog in rural areas. It is raised to look after homes and nursing homes. Whenever a stranger passes by, he will let out a ferocious howl, and if he gets a little closer, he will bite like crazy.

Zhou Jue has been afraid of this kind of local dog since she was a child.

Native dogs are different from urban pet dogs. They have extremely violent tempers and will really pounce on people and bite them.

It happens from time to time that native dogs bite people to death in rural areas.

"Ho ho...!!"

Sure enough, as soon as the native dog stepped onto the round platform, it started to grin, arched its body, and let out a menacing growl at Zhou Jue.

"..."

Zhou Jue's heart sank. He immediately felt the hairs on his hair stand on end when he was stared at by this local dog.

[Kill the enemy and pass the trial before you can exit. 】

【loser……】

【die. 】

At this moment, various realizations came to mind.

It seemed like this was information he already knew, but he was just recalling it now.

There is no doubt that this is his Nen - [Endless Trial].

Starting a trial means starting a fight to the death.

You can't leave until you win.

If you lose, it's death.

"Are you kidding me?" Zhou Jue's expression turned ugly. "Even adults may not be able to kill a vicious native dog, let alone a thirteen-year-old boy who lacks food and clothing."

"How could I possibly be craving something like this?"

"Am I crazy and want to die!?"

Ho! !

The yellow dog in front was already running towards him with a low growl.

The limbs run very fast.

Before Zhou Jue could react, the dog had already run in front of him, opened its big mouth, and pounced on him.

The next moment, his vision was occupied by this dog.

He saw and smelled the foul breath, saw the saliva splashing everywhere, and felt the ferocity in the dog's eyes...

Zhou Jue's face turned pale and her breathing stagnated.

In extreme fear, his body was frozen in place.

But the weird thing is.

His mood was unusually calm, as if there were no ripples on a flat lake.

It was as if the whole person was split in two, one half was in the body, wrapped in a strong sense of fear; the other half was deep in the heart, always calm and indifferent.

‘Why am I so calm? ’

Zhou Jue even had the time to think about this issue.

He even thought he was strange.

It was clear that danger was present, but his mind was running on its own.

‘Aren’t I afraid of dogs? ’

‘No, I’m afraid! I have been scared since I was a child! ’

‘But it’s not like I’m really scared. ’

Zhou Jue was thinking while controlling his body.

His eyes became distant.

Calm thinking dominated his body. After observing the position of the dog's bite, he immediately turned his waist and dodged to the right.

Uh-huh!

A yellow shadow passed by him, blood splattered.

Although he dodged correctly, his stiff muscles affected his movements.

His left waist and left thigh were scratched by the dog's teeth and claws. It left several scars with blood oozing out.

Zhou Jue stumbled, and after shaking a few times, he regained his balance.

This body has no flexibility training.

The sudden large-scale dodge caused him to sprain his waist muscles as expected.

On one side was a burning abrasion, on the other side was an extremely painful sprain.

An ordinary person would have fallen to the ground long ago.

But Zhou Jue remained expressionless and calm.

'It hurts, it hurts... As a modern person with a fragile body, even a little bit of skin on my knees will hurt for a long time, let alone now! ’

‘But it doesn’t matter, this injury won’t kill you. ’

‘A certain degree of pain can help the body quickly escape from stiffness. ’

Zhou Jue was as calm as a robot, analyzing the situation quickly.

Ho! !

Another growl came from the side.

Zhou Jue turned around and looked around, then immediately rolled on the spot.

Roar!

The next second, the ferocious yellow dog pounced on his original position.

Zhou Jue has rolled to the side.

This time the dodge was perfect. As he analyzed, a certain amount of pain can stimulate the body to regain its ability to move.

Woof!

The yellow dog was unwilling to give in and continued to pounce on Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue dodged continuously, rolled, jumped sideways, and turned over. He accurately judged the yellow dog's landing point and made the correct dodge.

ha! ha! ha!

After several bites, the yellow dog became panting.

call! call! call!

Zhou Jue's breathing became heavy and her heart beat as if it was about to jump out.

But despite his body being hot, his mind was as cold as ice.

'I see. ’

He silently looked at the yellow dog in front of him, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

'In my opinion, native dogs are actually very weak. When they bite me, just a kick or a knee can break their lumbar vertebrae. ’

‘So, I’m not actually afraid of native dogs. ’

The yellow dog in front of him had a ferocious expression on his face, his nose was trembling, and he looked menacing.

But at this time, Zhou Jue not only calmed down in his heart, but also in his body.

He suddenly understood.

‘What I’m afraid of is the fear and rejection of others after I kill the local dog. ’

‘What I’m afraid of is exposing my side that is different from ordinary people! ’

Zhou Jue suddenly felt enlightened.

Many of my weird thoughts and ideas in the past have been perfectly explained.

‘I’m afraid that after the madness, ruthlessness, and ferocity in my heart are exposed, I will no longer be able to stay safely among a group of sheep! ’

Zhou Jue stood up, straightened her waist, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!!"

“I totally get it!!”

"Yes, this kind of Nen is really what I want!!"

He longs to fight, to fight, to transform.

Longing for sublimation in the ordinary, longing for never-ending trials.

However, the earth without demons in his previous life restricted him.

Law and morality suppressed him.

All kinds of tangible and invisible shackles restrain Zhou Jue, preventing him from being released and having to hide his true self.

But it's different now.

"Now, I am in the exciting world of Hunter." Zhou Jue grinned with a bright smile and looked at the yellow dog in front of him.

"Come on, little puppy, let's see if you bite me to death or I kill you!"
