Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

What will you do then?

Politely ask if it's possible to reach a settlement?

'They're all talented...no wonder they've lived so long.'

Diya glanced at the crowd without making a sound, marveling at their wisdom.

"...No?"

Bisky gradually realized that her idea, which she had come up with on a whim, wasn't very reliable, so she had no choice but to announce the original test questions:

"Fine, the second way to pass is... bring me this year's [Gram Star] and give it to me!"

As she spoke, a cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

He openly and honestly abused his power for personal gain; he truly is a genius!

As soon as she finished speaking, the room erupted in a cacophony of noise:

What is the Star Gram?

"I don't know, it sounds like some kind of extraordinary treasure."

"Hey, isn't this abusing power for personal gain? They're making us work for her for free!"

"...Cough cough!"

Bisky coughed twice impatiently and said loudly:

"Quiet down! This isn't a difficult question for the second round. It's just about finding a gem worth less than 100 million jenny."

The murmurs and questions from the crowd grew louder and louder, until finally, when the noise reached its peak, a troublemaker broke the ice and shouted:

"In that case, how much money are you planning to give us after we get the gems?"

"Huh? I already let you pass, and you still dare to ask me for money?"

Bisky revealed the ugly, smug face of a capitalist, a devilish smile on her face:

"Sending you rookies to search is giving you a chance; I wouldn't normally even look at gems of that caliber!"

Then what else do you want...?

Everyone was speechless with exasperation.

"Hmm...it seems no one has any problems..."

"and many more!"

A female voice came from behind Dia. It was Poxen, who had used Hisoka's ability to transform into an ordinary-looking girl.

She frowned, raised her hand, and calmly asked:

"Aren't you going to introduce this so-called 'Star of Gram'?"

"Gathering intelligence is your job as hunters, isn't it?"

Bisky, hands on her hips, offered no explanation, and then said mercilessly:

"We, the clients, only need to be responsible for the most tiring part: making the request! If you can't even accept that, then give up becoming a hunter."

It's hardened, its fists are hardened!

Some people in the crowd had already begun to clench their fists silently.

It must be said that Bisky, as a character with a changeable personality, delivers a very outstanding performance, especially in portraying an annoying client...

"Is that so..."

Pokson didn't have much of an opinion; intelligence gathering was one of the basic skills she learned at military school.

However, there is one important issue:

"I have another question. According to you, the gem 'Gram Star' shouldn't be a bunch of gems, right?"

"In other words, does that mean only one person can pass this level, that is, the person who will give you the gem in the end?"

She stared at Bisky, feeling a little uneasy.

Dia had already told her about the difficulty and unpredictability of the hunter test on the airship they arrived in.

Therefore, she didn't think that the situation she had just described would happen. If that were the case, it would basically mean that everyone was out of the game, since no one present could possibly beat Diya.

At the same time, this problem is certainly not something only she could think of, which raises another hidden danger: what if someone would take the risk of reporting Dia to Bisky because of this?

This involves complex power struggles, which vary from person to person and cannot be precisely determined.

However, if this possibility exists, it needs to be addressed beforehand.

As soon as Pokson asked his question, the crowd erupted into noise again.

Some people lowered their heads silently, concealing the calculations in their eyes, but most chose to look at Bisky together, waiting for her answer as the examiner.

"Of course..."

Bisky took a deep breath, then said mischievously:

"Of course not!"

"It's very simple. You can form teams freely now. I will only recognize the person who ultimately hands over the gem to me, and their teammates!"

"As for who are teammates and who aren't, that's entirely up to the person who submits the gems. I won't make any distinctions, whether it's the quantity or anything else!"

After saying that, Bisky smiled and crossed her arms, revealing a look of watching a show.

In other words, if the person who submits the gem at the end is willing, they can even designate everyone in the room as their teammate, allowing everyone to advance!

But is that possible?

Everyone frowned, cautiously glancing at those around them, and then averting their eyes as if electrocuted when their gazes met.

This is the Hunter Exam; who would be foolish enough to bring their rival into the next round?

Actually, the hardest part of this round wasn't obtaining the gem, but deciding who would give it to her in the end...

Dia seemed to be deep in thought.

The first half of Bisky's mission, which involves acquiring gems, tests the candidate's intelligence gathering ability and overall competence in completing specific tasks.

The second half tests whether candidates can strike a balance between competition and cooperation.

It was indeed a very ingenious test question, and it was also a test question that fit the kind of wicked taste that the [Transmutation] type had. As a two-star hunter, Bisky showed a level of question-setting that was in line with her abilities.

Inside the examination room, Inbisci's words were met with an eerie silence.

After a long silence, Bisquie finally spoke:

"Since no one has any questions, let's get started. I'll be here waiting, but only until 6 a.m. tomorrow!"

"After that time, I'm going to get my beauty sleep. If no one comes by then, I'll just eliminate them all."

As she spoke, Bisky turned the basket upside down on the ground and sat down on it like a stool, resting her face in her hands and swinging her two feet, which were clad in white stockings, back and forth idly.

Having received the clear order to disband, the candidates wasted no time and began to disperse or gather on the spot.

Dia silently turned around and said to Hisoka and Poxen, one tall and one short:

"What do you mean? Should we split up, or team up together?"

Chapter 273 228 Downing Street × Clues

Do you think I have a choice?

"Poxon complained."

Even if she manages to get the gem by splitting up, Dia will probably just snatch it away.

Human scum—Fat Dia Tiger.

"It's good to know."

Dia nodded shamelessly, then silently turned to look at Hisoka.

In order to avoid being targeted by Bisky, that strong old woman, and because she would need this human-shaped chewing gum for later missions, Dia didn't mind being stuck with it for a while.

"...OK."

Hisoka looked up awkwardly and met Dia's gaze for a few seconds before finally nodding helplessly and accepting his invitation to team up.

Actually, this is a beneficial and harmless thing for him.

After all, if it really came down to competition, he would definitely get slapped by this guy.

Why not join them? Maybe you can even see what their abilities are like.

The three large doors on the walls of the basement, which were originally closed, opened simultaneously, and rows of LED lights lit up, illuminating the path beneath our feet.

That's obviously the way out.

Ignoring Hisoka's clown-like ulterior motives, Dia led the two through one of the newly opened doors.

He wasn't worried that someone would secretly report him to Bisky after he left, because once the exam rules were announced, the only one who could bypass him and enter the third round would be the informant.

We can clean it up later.

After walking along the long, deep black passage and climbing a few steps, you arrive at the brightly lit street.

At this moment, the sign at the entrance of the night market was lit up with a warm yellow light.

Groups of people moved slowly along the stalls on both sides, the aromas of various delicacies and the sizzling sounds of cooking blending together.

The whole street was bathed in yellow light, and various sounds, smells, and heat mingled together, lingering for a long time.

On one side of the stall, the oil in the fryer was sizzling as it fried tofu, and white steam mixed with the aroma of chili rose up. A spatula was used to flip the food on the hot plate, making a "sizzling" sound as it was brushed with sauce.

Diya's eyes lit up, and she decisively went forward and bought three servings of fried tofu, even specifically asking the owner to add extra chili.

He then distributed two portions of the food to his two henchmen.

"Um, I can't eat spicy food..."

Seeing this, Pokson weakly raised his hand and spoke.
