And those who can pass the preliminary selection, come to the final examination hall, and take part in the main examination...the ratio is ten thousand to one.
Basically, there are around a few hundred people. A simple calculation means... there are at least several million people taking the hunter exam every year.
Each session is divided into big and small years. For example, the 287th session that Gon and Killua participated in was considered a big year, with over 3 people... Oboro occasionally goes to Hall of the amusement park these days to take a look. The final deadline is approaching, and there are only over number plates. It is estimated that the number of people who can arrive at the venue this year will not reach ... only around .
A perfect little year.
It’s not that there are few people who sign up, but maybe this year’s preliminary trials are more difficult... Not many people can make it to the end, and there is a lack of good seedlings.
Some candidates who have passed the test will choose to stay in the venue and wait for the final deadline to end. On the other hand... they can also meet some new friends and collect information.
There are also some who, like Long, come and take a look once in a while.
But every time I entered the museum, the atmosphere inside was not very good... everyone was wary of each other.
There are also several very active objects.
For example... In the previous life, the man who was called 'True God' by full-time fans, Dongba!
He has a square nose, is short, and has a fat body...but his expression reveals a simple and honest feeling, which makes people feel that he is very honest, so they let down their guard.
Every time Long came to the museum, he could be seen chatting with the newcomers enthusiastically, introducing his resume like a 'senior', and telling them about his past hunter exam experiences, exuding an aura of 'loving' and 'caring for the younger generation'.
Sometimes he would get rejected even if he tried hard, but it seemed that this could not put the Dongba master off at all.
To date, Dongba has participated in the Hunter Examination for nearly thirty times, which means... he was once a candidate in the same batch as Moritonio and Jinfulis. Even though it is not clear whether he made it to the final examination room and met the two of them... but in terms of experience, this guy is undoubtedly a veteran.
The preliminaries of the hunter exam are not difficult for those who are capable and smart, but for ordinary people, every time you pass it, it is a test and growth. Even if the improvement is small... the accumulation of dozens of times is enough to make Dongba have certain outstanding qualities.
Although he is jokingly called a great god, he has always actively participated in the hunter exams and never got discouraged. This state of mind... is indeed beyond many people.
Don't underestimate people because of their appearance.
Although... in Long's eyes, Dongba is no different from ordinary people.
The reason I follow this person is because I want to have some fun...
However, every time he showed up, he failed to attract Dongba's interest, and even... Long found that Dongba's eyes were full of caution when he looked at him... Later, Long realized what was going on... The number plate on his chest was 001.
This meant that he was the first to arrive at the venue, and even though he was a new face... Dongba was obviously a little apprehensive.
Dongba’s number is 49, which is also relatively early.
Dongba didn't come to see him... Long was a little disappointed, but he couldn't force himself to take advantage of the popularity of the great god...
Finally, it was the last day of the preliminaries.
Long arrived at the venue early in the morning, found a deserted place to sit down, and boredly scrolled through his phone...sent text messages to David, communicating about the recent changes and situations of the underground forces. People around him stood in groups of three or five. Some of them were already familiar with each other or knew each other, and some...were friends who had passed the preliminaries together.
The atmosphere was very tense, even if someone was talking, they were talking in low voices...
The people nearby glanced at him vaguely, focusing on his number plate 001.
Inside the museum, the damage caused by his battle with Netero had not been repaired.
The association is clearly on strike...
From the corner of his eye, he saw Dongba walking through the crowd... This guy never tires of meeting new people. Some candidates who knew him showed gloating and sarcastic smiles. You know, many of them have participated in two or three sessions, and many of them know what kind of character Dongba is... but they are too lazy to expose him.
After all, the fewer competitors, the better for them.
"Wow... there are so many people, it's so lively!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.
Attracted everyone's attention.
Every time someone comes in, they will be "stared at" by hundreds of people, looking at them from head to toe.
People with social phobia really can't stand it.
There were two people walking in.
The man in front was wearing sportswear, with his hands in his pockets and a cold look on his face.
He had a slicked-back blonde hair and eyebrows so light that they were almost non-existent, which made his facial features look fierce, and his cold eyes... It was a bit chilling. The person behind him, who was speaking, had a sunny face, a typical young boy, who kept looking around, full of curiosity and novelty, as if he didn't feel any pressure at all, and was always smiling.
Because they were about to enter the venue, there were people in front of them... The blond man without eyebrows took a few steps forward, looked at the candidates who were blocking him, his pupils moved, and he said coldly: "Get out of here!"
"..."
The candidates who were scolded had angry expressions, but when their eyes met with the former, they immediately became timid and subconsciously moved away.
"Oh, Finks...be polite and don't scare people."
The big boy behind him laughed and patted his friend on the shoulder. When he passed by a few examinees who were swallowing their saliva frantically, he also said hello: "Sorry..."
"Humph!"
Finks showed no sign of reflection and sneered with disdain.
In the distance, Long, who was originally feeling bored, raised the corners of his mouth.
What a surprise...
The two people who suddenly appeared were the Knight and Finks.
Number 5 and 6 of the brigade.
Long narrowed his eyes. He remembered that in the original novel, the knight did have a hunter's license... He just didn't know when he took the exam. But he didn't expect that Finks would come too!
And I just happened to see it myself!
Interesting... He thought this exam would be boring.
The number plates on both of them were in the first 100... They should have arrived in Bangji a long time ago, but they haven't shown up yet.
Finks led the knight into the crowd unimpeded. The candidates around him seemed to feel threatened and made way for them one after another. Then, the two finally stopped at Long's location. Because the entire venue, except for Long's location, was relatively empty, and there was no one nearby.
Relatively quiet.
Based on the information brought by plate number 001, the candidates felt that the man in a suit who was constantly fiddling with his phone was a very dangerous person... so they consciously avoided him.
The two sides were less than three meters apart.
Finks and Knight glanced at the man sitting on the ground, who had no reaction to their arrival and was still pressing his phone...
The two also saw the number on Long's chest, 001.
I noticed that people around me were wary of Long...
Finks raised his eyelids and grinned, revealing a wicked smile.
Seems ready to say something.
Seeing this, the knight at the side immediately pulled him aside, stood against the wall, and raised his hand to greet Long, "Hello."
Hearing the voice, Long turned his head slightly, pressed the sunglasses on his nose with his index finger, and smiled, "Hello."
Chapter 63 Finks and the Examiner
In fact, Long didn't have any feelings towards the people in the Riders. It was undeniable that they were a group of powerful Nen users with outstanding qualifications, but it was inevitable that people would feel that what they were doing was a waste of their talents... Of course, he was not qualified to judge them, after all, it had a lot to do with their origins, backgrounds and experiences.
The Brigade was very outstanding in the early stage of the original work, but with the unfolding of the Ant Arc and the Dark Continent Arc, they could no longer occupy the center of the stage.
After all, in the world of hunters...this group of people are just a bunch of bandits.
A very powerful group of thieves!
The Meteor Street behind them is equivalent to a small country in size, but its total combat power is still not comparable to that of a real country... Even if the brigade never relies on any forces and only believes in itself, it still has some influence.
In Halo's eyes, with Kuroro's mind and the members' abilities... they can flex their muscles and do something more 'wonderful', not just simple plundering and killing.
As the saying goes, it's easier said than done. These are my thoughts from the perspective of an outsider.
If he were placed in an environment where he had been hungry, poor, dark, and at risk of death at any time since childhood, it would be difficult for him to have any "great ideals and ambitions". Compared to dreams, money and materials are the most practical and valuable.
Long also understood.
What's more, the brigade did this... to a large extent, it also wanted to give back to its homeland, Meteor Street.
The arrival of Finks and Knight was just a small episode. The aura of the three of them clearly separated them from the other candidates. Long put his phone in his pocket and waited quietly... The discussions in the venue became louder and louder, because the time was up, but the examiner had not appeared yet... Some people began to show impatience.
"What's going on? Where's the examiner?"
"Tsk... You won't keep us waiting forever..."
someone shouted.
Hazy eyes glanced overhead, and saw a shadow in the corridor on the second floor.
Standing there was a muscular man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt... He was the hunter of the association.
He is also the examiner of this event.
This person had been here ten minutes ago, but... most of the candidates didn't notice.
Finally... there was a sound of clapping from upstairs, which instantly made the venue quiet. Everyone looked up and saw a figure on the second floor. The examiner walked out slowly from the dim light, with his hands on the fence, bent over, a cigarette in his mouth. He looked rough and looked at the weaklings in the venue with a cold and undisguised mockery. However, his eyes paused when he swept over Long, Finks and the other two, and then said, "You rubbish... congratulations on passing many tests and coming here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Aldama, your examiner... Next, you must survive some levels... and I will be in charge of the first one."
Being called garbage... the candidates present seemed somewhat embarrassed, but dared not say anything. However, experienced people like Dongba looked indifferent.
"From now on, you just have to stay here quietly and are not allowed to leave... If you stay for 24 hours, you will be passed and can follow me to the next destination." Aldama said lightly.
So simple?
Some people looked surprised...
What kind of test is this?
"As long as we don't leave this venue, right?" a young man said excitedly.
"Yes."
Aldama replied expressionlessly.
Then, he hung a pocket watch that had started moving on the fence on the second floor and turned around to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Finks beside Long suddenly raised his hand with a sneer on his face.
Aldama turned his head slightly and looked at the athletic man who was making the noise downstairs.
"If... I kill them all, does it mean that they are eliminated... and if I am the only one left, there is no need to conduct this exam anymore, right?" Finks said in a joking tone.
