Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

After returning to Youkexin City, Ace resumed his bodyguard work.

During the days when Ace was away, several members of the guard were ambushed by hostile forces. Now, except for the captain Dazone, deputy captain Ace, Dokino, Ivalenfu, Linsen, and Skuvara, almost all the members were wiped out. For this reason, Dazone prepared to recruit some new people.

Ace remembered that in this plot, Kurapika, whose clan was wiped out by the Phantom Troupe, became Nion's bodyguard during this recruitment and came into contact with the Phantom Troupe, which led to the later plot of the Phantom Troupe.

The interview began on July 1st.

What is different from the original plot is that the undercover agents hidden among the newcomers are not just Docino and Skuvara, this time Ace is also included.

Ace really didn't know how to test these newcomers. Should he use a chain to hit them?

If you can't dodge in time, you can log off and die.

……

The location for the new postgraduate entrance examination candidates was in an unused villa of Nyon, and Ace arrived around noon.

At this time, there were already several people in the living room where the newlyweds were accommodated.

Of course, this also includes Dochino and Scuvara.

After all, the three of them had been colleagues for four years, so they tacitly did not say anything and just waited quietly.

Ace observed as he sat down and found that there were three other people in the living room besides the three undercover agents.

A person with a sturdy build, an amazing hairline, and a pair of big front teeth, should be Melody.

The other woman, with a hot body, was wearing a vest and white trousers and had a pigtail on her head. She should be Fei Jie.

The last person was a middle-aged man with a crew cut and muscular body. It was Basho.

Not long after, a figure dressed in white, a blue robe, with several chains wrapped around his right hand and yellow shoulder-length hair walked in. It was none other than Kurapika, one of the protagonists.

At this time, Kurapika had been practicing Nen for half a year, and with the blessing of the oath and restrictions, the current Kurapika is completely different from the one half a year ago, with even more indifference and maturity in his eyes.

At this time, a white-haired old man walked in.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I will tell you about the contract next. The boss and his staff are all here."

An oil painting hanging on the wall suddenly changed and turned into an electronic screen. A middle-aged man with sharp edges appeared on the screen. It was Dazonie.

"Without further ado, my terms are as follows. I don't care whether you have a hunter's license or not. The key is whether you have the ability to get what I want. There is still one month before the auction begins. Before then, please find any item on the list. It doesn't matter what you find."

"Please, these are the data cards for this time."

Ace took it and looked at it symbolically:

[Hair of the famous actress Sera with DNA identification certificate, right hand of a burial object in an Egyptian stone tomb, skin of a patient with dracoderma, skull of the One-Horned Tribe, eyeball of the Kuruta Tribe]

"I'll say it again. As long as you can find any one of the items on the list, you can officially sign the contract. Please be responsible for the defense and collection. OK, I wish you all success."

As Dazonie's last words came to light, the electronic screen turned into an oil painting.

At this time, several people were about to open the door but found that it could not be opened.

“I can’t open it.”

Meanwhile, Dazo returns from his evil ways.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that having strength is the minimum requirement for hiring you, so you must at least have the strength to walk out of this villa..."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Basho and Skuwara, who were closer, retreated to avoid it.

Several people wrapped tightly came in. Ace recognized them. In fact, they were just puppets created by Dokino's telekinesis. They were very effective in testing this group of novices.

Everyone in the living room was on high alert. Several puppets holding swords dispersed, revealing three puppets holding guns behind them.

The three puppets opened fire. Melody slapped the table as a cover. Skuvara also hid behind the table. Feijie directly used his ability to turn the old butler into his own puppet and used the old butler to block the bullets. Kurapika was the most outrageous one who used a lock to link the bullets...

The others were all shocked by Kurapika's actions. Several sword-wielding puppets also rushed up. Kurapika jumped to the second floor and touched the railing to observe the first floor.

"Six of them had swords, and three had guns."

Suddenly, two more puppets appeared behind Kurapika and launched a sneak attack. Kurapika reacted quickly and jumped directly onto the chandelier to observe what was below.

Suddenly Kurapika noticed that one of these people was Ace, but now Kurapika had no time to meet with acquaintances. Resolving this crisis was important. Suddenly Kurapika seemed to have discovered something, jumped off the chandelier, pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and put it against Dokino's neck.

The others looked at this scene in shock.

"Hurry up and make them stop. I give you three seconds. 1, 2, 3."

"OK, I get it."

All of the dolls suddenly deflated and quickly shrunk to the size of a coin.

"It was Nen, I knew it when I hit him. They were just puppets made of Nen, but they didn't realize it was this guy's Nen." (Basho)

"How did you know that?" (Dochino)

"Because you have been just staying around others and faking it. It can be seen clearly from above that you are the only one who has not been attacked by them." (Kurapika)

"The attacker on the second floor didn't run downstairs immediately when I jumped onto the chandelier but kept swinging his sword at me. I think that's what you ordered [to attack the person closest to you]" (Kurapika)

"That's right. My name is Shachimono Dochino. I'm a hunter employed by the owner of this villa. I'm your senior, right? Can you put away your knife first?"

Then Dochino fell on the sofa and said lazily:

"Those chains look like they belong to a Nen user who controls the system. But please don't blame me. I was also entrusted by someone, but I didn't expect to be exposed so soon."

"I think you four should be able to escape from this villa. Come on."

"Four people, are there two undercover agents?"

"If you say this just to arouse unwarranted suspicion, it is unnecessary."

Kurapika said as he put down the Soul-Chasing Chain on his ring finger and pointed it at the people in the room. When the chain was aimed at Skuwara and Ace, it began to swing.

"found it."

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence to prove what you said?"

"You don't have to make excuses."

"what!"

Ace ignored Skuwara's shocked expression, sat on the sofa, and said to Kurapika:

"Kurapika, I didn't expect that you've grown to this point in just half a year."

"Yes."

"To be honest, you should have noticed that Skuvara, Dochino, and I were assigned to be undercover agents among you, so Skuvara should stop playing dumb."

"All right……"

"By the way, remove your ability."

"what!"

"One of these four guys is also from the operations department, so you know what I mean."

"Ok."

"Next, the four of you go. It shouldn't be difficult to get out based on your abilities."

……

Looking at the people going away, Dazonie asked:

"What do you think of these four guys?" (Dazonie)

"They are all very good." (Dochino)

"At least it's more useful than that guy." (Skuvara)

"Especially Kurapika, he has enough fighting power and judgment. Oh, I forgot to say that I will resign in a month, and the position of vice-captain can be given to Kurapika at that time." (Ace)

"Since you said so, it is enough to prove their ability." (Dazonie)

……

A month later.

In a relatively intact building in a ruin on the outskirts of Youkexin.

"Captain, how many years have we not seen each other? I'm here to keep my appointment..."
