Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

So Pokson ultimately decided to use "The Fool" as the name of his ability.

She was so confident in herself, as stubborn as a mature Nen user.

"Let's try entering [Absolute] first, and see if we can trigger your ability..."

Dia said casually, hands in her pockets.

If the Fool's ability is similar to that of the Fourth Prince Kakin, then entering the Absolute realm is one of the conditions for activating that ability.

However, most abilities require maintaining Nen energy to activate, because [Zetsu] completely seals Nen energy within the body. You can't even let your Nen energy leave your body, let alone activate any abilities. Whether it's Nen beasts, Nen bullets, materialized objects, or strengthening your physical body or objects, it's all just empty talk.

However, Kakin's succession battle revealed a bizarre ability that can only be activated upon reaching the [Zetsu] level, which is quite perplexing. It just goes to show how profound and complex Nen abilities truly are.

However, there are exceptions. For example, Diya's own Nen Beast can still exist for a long time after Diya enters the [Absolute] realm, thanks to the considerable amount of Nen energy that Diya constantly stores in its body.

At its peak, such as when activating the Second Elephant, the stored energy could even approach twice the energy of an ordinary Nen user, which means that humans are actually inferior to Nen beasts...

"【Absolute】You haven't taught me yet!"

Pokson interrupted Dia's nonsense with annoyance. This guy usually seemed reliable, but he always had a bad memory when it came to small details.

Is no one going to correct this bad habit of his? This can't go on...

"...Then let's get into the [training] phase! Continue until we can't hold on any longer!"

Dia shrugged indifferently and continued conducting experiments on the white mouse.

"Oh~"

A weak, feeble response rang out, and the sound of bursts of Nen energy echoed throughout the training ground.

--------------

Haiweiyi.

After a day and a night's journey, the Hunter Association's airship slowly landed at the airport.

The unshaven examiner, Hu Lai, and Bisky disembarked from the airship together, chatting casually.

"Bisky-senpai, cheer up! It's just a gem. Don't let the branch laugh at you."

Hu Lai looked at the dejected Bisky with concern. As they were both connected through the same network of Qi Duo's parents, he and Bisky had known each other for many years.

Although we often see this senior colleague being unreliable, it's quite rare to see him so dejected.

"You don't understand... The rarity of Georgian rubies is only one of their most superficial collectible values. What's most precious is the countless hardships and tears embodied in them; that's the real reason they shine so brightly..."

The moment gems were mentioned, Bisky came to life, puffing out her empty chest and launching into a confident, eloquent monologue.

"..."

Hu Lai had no interest in gems, nor did he like circuses that abused animals, so he could only nod perfunctorily while his eyes darted around.

"Ok?"

Suddenly he noticed something strange.

From the airship entrance, a sweating Pokson gritted her teeth and leaned on Dia as she walked out of the airship, her legs even trembling.

"If you dare to laugh at me, I'll bite you to death."

Her voice trembled as she stared intently at Dia's profile.

For the first time, Pokson exhausted her Nen to the point where she could no longer continue, and the resulting fatigue and physical exhaustion far exceeded her expectations.

Ultimately, Miss White Mouse, who could no longer even walk, could only walk by carrying Dia in this embarrassing manner.

However, this wasn't the first time she'd been killed by a social media influencer; she'd become numb to it all.

Even so, she didn't want to be mocked by Dia.

"I already told you, it's better for me to carry you or walk on my back than for you to force yourself to walk like this."

Diya looked helpless. Why be so persistent? If it were Mumu Ze here, he would probably have already climbed all over him.

"No! Run! Run!"

Pokson was furious, but then he noticed the strange looks from the others and quickly urged Dia to get up again.

"...What wonderful youthful years!"

Hu Lai took a deep breath with a look of relief, recalling how he and Sherlock used to tease each other so often, yet also support each other.

"Ha, it really is a corpse."

Bisky sneered. It was one thing for Dia to disrespect his elders, but he also dared to flirt with other women. She wanted to see what kind of miserable death he would suffer when he returned to Roy City.

Behind Dia, Hisoka walked out of the airship, bored. He hadn't been able to find a good opponent and was starting to lose control of his desire.

He happened to get some clues about Kuroro and the Phantom Troupe from the information broker last night; he'll go check it out after he finishes his work today…

The group arrived at a hotel, one of the properties owned by the Hunter Association, where Chairman Netero would conduct the final round of interviews.

In the empty hall, Dia and Poxon sat in one corner, while Hisoka sat alone in another corner building a card tower.

Diya silently used ripples to restore Poxon's strength, and began to recall the test that had just taken place.

After testing, it was found that by maintaining the "Entanglement" state and keeping his mind calm, Pokson could enter an alternate dimension of unknown length, shaped like an old, dimly lit corridor.

She calls this space the "Infinite Corridor," and there are varying numbers of "doors" distributed on the left and right walls of the corridor.

First, there was the wooden door on the left. Unlike in Poxon's dream, this time she opened those wooden doors very easily.

According to the description, when she grasped the handle of the wooden door, the scene of the [Airship Hall] appeared in her mind, while when she grasped other handles, the scene of Fountain No. 11 in [Gramgaslan] appeared in her mind.

When Pokson opened the door to Gramgaslan, he found a long, seemingly endless runway behind it.

She then changed to the door of the [Airship Hall] and saw an extremely long runway with barely visible edges.

According to Pokson, she walked for nearly two hours on that track before reaching the end.

The moment she reached the end, she found herself in the [Airship Hall].

'From the training ground to the hall, it would normally only take a few minutes to walk, but with her abilities, it would take two hours. However, the most important thing is…'

Dia glanced at Poxon, whose breathing was gradually returning to normal, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes:

"From my perspective, she was teleported to that [airship hall] in an instant..."

Chapter 189 Interview × Wanting to be relied upon by him

After several attempts, Pokson confirmed it.

The Fool's ability is to "enter a different dimension and be transported through a wooden door to a place he has been in the past".

As for that strange platinum iron door, no matter what she did, she could no longer open it.

"This means there are still many secrets to your abilities. Let's test you more later."

Diya gave a word of advice: the test on the airship didn't require a huge amount of Nen, but the mental torment it inflicted on Poxen was quite terrifying.

Every time you open and close the door, it's like running a marathon. It doesn't consume much physical energy, but it's still quite grueling.

Of course, this is also a hurdle she must overcome. If she is not used to this rhythm, this ability will be difficult to be effective in actual combat.

For example, when Pokson was sparring with Dia, he wanted to use his ability to teleport behind him and deliver a sneak attack.

As a result, after the long run, the rhythm of the battle was interrupted, and he was distracted the moment he appeared behind Dia, so Dia was able to grab his neck even more easily.

To make good use of her ability, we might need to develop another ability with even greater practical value, similar to Nob's "Window Opener".

Poxon nodded weakly, about to reply, when he heard someone shouting outside:

"Candidate number 4, please proceed to the meeting room. Candidate number 22, please prepare."

This is the third round of testing before the announcement, an interview hosted by Chairman Netero.

Candidate number 4 was Hisoka. He stood up leisurely and walked towards the door. At the same time, Pokson silently began to adjust her mindset, because she was candidate number 22.

Unlike the other two, Dia seemed somewhat nonchalant. He wasn't very worried about whether Chairman Netero would cause trouble, even though he was indeed that kind of person.

The main reason is that he still has a request from Netero in his hand. At the time, he thought it was a very valuable request, since it could get the chairman, one of the pinnacles of humanity, to help him once. But now it seems a bit useless.

In terms of combat prowess, Dia might not be as good as the chairman, but when it comes to assassination skills, he's far more adept. If it really comes down to targeting someone, he might as well take matters into his own hands—it'd be much more conspicuous that way...

Time passed little by little.

With a click, the door opened again, and Hisoka walked in, his face flushed as if he had just come from some kind of excitement.

"Candidate number 22, please proceed to the meeting room. Candidate number 99, please prepare."

The staff member called out, and Poxon and Dia exchanged a glance, nodded silently to him, and then turned and walked towards the door.

Stepping out of the gate and following the staff's guidance, Pokson arrived at a heavy wooden door.

dong dong dong-

She knocked on the door politely, then stood calmly waiting for a response.

"Please come in."

An aged voice came out, and Poxon pushed open the door and entered.

The meeting room was small and contained few items: a black round wooden table and two long-backed chairs placed one in front of the other.

Pokson pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Chairman Netero, who was sitting opposite him in a white martial arts uniform with his eyes half-closed.

Before she arrived, Diya had already warned her that this seemingly ordinary old man was actually one of the top five Nen users in all of humanity, and that he could kill her in less than a second.

Having been so earnestly reminded, Ms. Poker naturally wouldn't relax during the interview.

"Miss Pokson, from the Kakin Empire?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Chairman."

Pokson replied respectfully that she had actually used a fake name when she signed up, but to say that by the third level they still didn't know her real name would be underestimating a professional hunter.

"Relax, I'm not some kind of demon."

Chairman Netero smiled, leaned back to lighten the mood, and asked:

"How did you meet that kid, Dia?"

Pokson couldn't help but glance at Chairman Netero, seemingly surprised that he would ask such a question.
