Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Alright, you guys get started now. The order will start with Pariston, then Mizeston, Keido and Dia. Anyone else who wants to leave can go now."

"Oh, by the way, everyone has to give the answer at the same time to prevent people from exploiting loopholes."

With a wave of his hand, Nitero officially began this invisible game!

"Oh……"

Kang Jae, who had been looking dazed, suddenly stood up instinctively when he heard that he could leave.

But when he stood up, he suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him like he was an idiot.

"You're really leaving, Kang Jae-sang?"

Pjorn couldn't help but ask a question with a slightly subtle tone.

Although Kang Jae usually looks quite chubby and innocent, it's a bit strange that he can't see anything at a time like this.

"Hey? Why aren't you leaving?"

Kang Jae suddenly felt like he had done something stupid again, but he didn't know what had happened.

Pjorn stopped talking and started frantically typing on his phone, making a rapid, clicking sound. He then waved the phone in front of Kang Jae.

Although she moved extremely quickly, Kang Jae, with his exceptional dynamic vision, easily saw the words on her phone.

You stupid tiger! Stay here and see if that dead rat gives itself away, and also that mysterious newcomer!

"Oh……"

Kang Jae slowly uttered a syllable and sat back down.

At that moment, his brain was working at an unprecedented speed, trying to understand Pjorn's words.

He gave up very quickly.

'I have absolutely no idea what she's talking about!'

Kang Jae fell into a daze once again.

Pjorn, who had been watching him out of the corner of his eye, silently shook his head, his long rabbit ears swaying slightly.

That stupid tiger is so foolish; it uses all its brainpower on fighting.

Her idea was the same as the others who stayed: to wait for Pariston and the newcomer to exchange information!

This can be deduced using simple logic.

If a person is involved in making the rules for their own election, they will almost certainly choose to make rules that benefit themselves or those that are detrimental to others.

And the information is often hidden within these rules.

Since the rules are in your favor, they can inevitably push you out of your comfort zone.

For example, if a Nen user who can fly appears in a racing competition, he will definitely set a rule that allows people to reach the finish line by flying.

That would be equivalent to telling everyone that you have the ability to fly.

Setting rules that are detrimental to others reveals a person's observational skills or interpersonal relationships.

For example, if Dia and Kita really break off their relationship and start fighting, Dia will definitely set a rule that "revealing the other party's father's name is the victory."

Because Dia is an orphan, and he happens to know the name of Qiduo's father, this essentially exposes the fact that his relationship with Qiduo is unusual.

At this moment, almost everyone present (except Kang Jae and Kim) was waiting for one thing—

Let that mysterious Pariston reveal some information about himself!

Chapter 160 The Invisible Battlefield × Everyone Opposes

"Then let me start by throwing out an idea and getting to the point."

Pariston, seemingly oblivious to the stares of the crowd, said with a relaxed expression:

"I propose..."

Only certified hunters are eligible to participate in the assessment.

Pariston's first strike was aimed directly at Dia!

Dia narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms, leaned back, and said without hesitation:

"I object."

"I agree." ×2

Mitchell and Chido both voted in favor.

At this moment, there are no teachers, no elders, no pity.

Each hunter followed their own will, engaging in an invisible battle with one another!

"Diario votes against, Pariston's proposal is invalid, next up is Mr. Mitchellston!"

Bean's voice rang out at the right time, and he read out the results of the first round in an orderly manner. Then it was Mitchell's turn to make a proposal.

At this moment, Mitchell did not rush to propose the rules, but instead gave Pariston a deep look.

The rules proposed by the other side were meaningless, except that they resulted in Dia receiving more votes against them.

Was Pariston planning to use this method to stall for an hour and then eliminate Dia directly?

If things continue like this, we will undoubtedly fall into an endless cycle of mutual harm. In the end, everyone will be beaten up by the president, and what will we use to cope with the subsequent assessments?

What is this person thinking? He can't win even if he does this.

"...I propose that candidates should not be allowed to harm each other with force."

Mitchellton proposed what he considered the safest rule, hoping to confine the struggle to the intellectual level.

"I agree."

Kido's answer was not surprising; she was the least skilled fighter among them all, and this rule was in her favor.

"I object."

Pariston said softly, his eyes fixed on Dia.

"I object."

Dia's voice rang out casually.

'Um? '

Qi Duo was taken aback. Why would Diya object?

She turned her head and saw that Dia was expressionless, with an unfamiliar coldness in her eyes.

He was staring directly into Pariston's eyes without flinching.

As the atmosphere between the two grew increasingly tense, a twisted and malicious aura began to fill the conference room, emanating from Pariston.

At the same time, a domineering and fierce golden aura quietly emanated from Diya. The two auras silently intertwined in the air, like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, constantly clashing, disintegrating, and dissipating into the void.

"Oh~~"

Suddenly, Jin, who had been quietly observing, yawned and stretched, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere in the air.

The tense atmosphere from just moments ago seemed to have received a signal to retreat, and the two returned to their respective positions.

'As expected, this person is not simple... And Mr. Jin, if he had been a little slower to withdraw his aura, he would have attacked immediately...'

Pariston savored the brief exchange and the fleeting sense of danger from King.

The other party's meaning was simple—don't act recklessly here!

These two are both so interesting...

“Dia, Pariston votes against, Mr. Mitchellston’s proposal is invalid, next is Miss Keido.”

Qiduo stared at Dia for a few seconds without expression, until Dia tilted her head in confusion, before saying:

“I propose that candidates be prohibited from collaborating with others.”

Dia: ?

What do you mean? You're not going to cooperate with me?

"I object!"

Dia glared at Qiduo and immediately objected loudly.

Not cooperating and going it alone will only lead to her being killed by Pariston. Doesn't Keita understand that?

'Still glaring at me? This idiot, don't you understand what I mean?'

Qi Duo was inexplicably glared at, and she was immediately furious, wishing she could grab this traitor and bite him.

Pariston is a three-star relationship hunter and a world-class psychological expert. Given his abilities, if he were allowed to find someone to cooperate with, the force he could exert would be absolutely beyond their ability to resist!

The discrepancies and deficiencies in communication between the two immediately began to have negative consequences.

The moment Dia's voice rang out, the other two voices also rang out simultaneously:

"I agree." ×2

Mitchellston agreed without hesitation, but surprisingly, Pariston also voted in favor.

He watched with interest as Dia and Qiduo breathed on each other, and began to reassess their relationship.

'They should still know each other quite well, but as for cooperation? Too many people will only lead to confusion, while too few will be of little use…'

Kido and Mizziston were clearly still thinking in the traditional hunter mindset, subconsciously ignoring the danger posed by Pariston.

They just thought Pariston might be scheming to win and gathering a large group of people, but they didn't consider that Pariston might be plotting to kill them, which was something they couldn't let anyone know.

After all, that was a blatant provocation against the "Ten Rules for Hunters," and Pariston, who hadn't had enough fun yet, didn't want to end his hunter career like that.

Dia shared the same thought on the field.

He had long been prepared to take drastic measures whenever the opportunity arose.

“Dia’s vote is against, Miss Qiduo’s proposal is invalid, next is Mr. Dia.”

Dia withdrew her gaze, ignoring the clenched teeth of Qiduo, and began to ponder.
