Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

The reason it's called by name, rather than the full name with surname, is because she forced me to change the nickname after the first time I escorted Mumu Ze to Kajin.

The text message was simple, yet enough to make one break out in a cold sweat—

"Teacher Dia, I've come to Loy City to find you!"

'But I wasn't there, you idiot…'

Dia couldn't help but sigh.

Why didn't she call ahead to ask?

More importantly, although he wasn't in Roy City, Qiduo was!

It's not that he felt guilty or anything (absolutely not).

The main concern is his next move, because the trail of the [Arrow Fragment] might be in Kajin, so he'll definitely need to ask Mumu Ze for help.

If Kito and Mumu Sawa were to meet, Kito might be unexpectedly drawn into these dangerous operations that have nothing to do with her.

Before the succession war began, Mumu Ze was basically safe, which is why Dia wasn't worried about her safety, but it was hard to say about Qi Duo.

He originally planned to go to Orange City first to meet with Pokson and find out the situation, and then either go to Kakin with her or return to the Republic of Minbo alone.

But now we have no choice but to rush to Los Angeles.

Hopefully, this airship will be a little faster than the royal high-class airship that Mumu Ze is riding in...

Chapter 332 One-Star Hunter Dia × No Stance

Soon after, facing the innocent-looking Mumu Ze, Qi Duo will grab Dia by the neck and recall the day she first met this Prince Kajin.

Hunter Association Headquarters.

The hardworking vice president of the Hunter Association, Ms. Kita, is handling official business, which is not difficult for her.

On her desk sits a small dog wearing glasses and a rabbit doll, which she squeezes when she gets tired of writing.

It relieves stress and fatigue.

Besides routinely checking on the troublesome student's progress in his cultivation every day, she was also learning to make cakes and other desserts.

Because someone was always trying to steal her food.

The pen holder casts shadows under the lamplight, displaying lush and verdant fountain pens, pencils, and ballpoint pens.

It was 8:10 p.m., and Dia's airship was rounding the East Wallis Pass, carrying an approaching cold front and rain.

There are still sixty minutes until our protagonist arrives at his glorious execution ground.

"Ugh……"

The night is deep outside the window; the humid season is approaching, but it is still relatively dry now.

Qiduo tossed aside the pen in her hand, slumped back in her chair, and looked like a listless white camellia.

She had only recently returned to her post, after having been taking care of a girl named Pokson.

Taking advantage of being three years older, Kito treats her like a younger sister.

Although in terms of physique and build, Pokson might still be a cut above the rest.

Strangely, the child was always very well-behaved in her presence, even appearing somewhat awkward and self-conscious.

According to Diya, she was a professional hunter who got her marriage certificate with him, so she shouldn't have such a personality flaw.

Moreover, judging from his description, Pokson should also be a person with strong opinions and leadership qualities.

This contrast left Qiduo somewhat bewildered.

But what truly bothered her was the subtle, almost imperceptible cheerfulness they always displayed when they talked about that unreliable student.

Happiness is certainly a good thing.

But that guy was always very good at making girls happy, which was a bit annoying.

He himself was like a block of ice, requiring ten days or half a month of persistent effort to gradually open a crack.

Kido never doubted that if necessary, Dia would readily entrust her life to her, just as she would do the same.

At the same time, she never doubted that the person who was used to doing things his own way was hiding countless secrets that he would not tell her.

I'm doomed to have this guy in my life.

And these past few days, the association has also been restless.

The guild leader inexplicably went into seclusion, occasionally calling several hunters much older than her to spar with her, as if she were preparing for something.

The Zodiacs, who are the backbone of the association, are often nowhere to be seen, especially that dangerous person Pariston, who, like King, has become a missing person.

and also……

Qiduo silently got up, took out a document, and began to read.

This document was just handed to her today, but she has already read it several times.

The content is several thousand words long, but the central theme is in the last sentence—

[It is proposed that Dia Diego, a rookie hunter in the Hunter Association, be promoted to a one-star hunter.]

Yes, Dia has only had her hunter license for less than a month and is about to become a star hunter.

From the earliest Patti incident, where Mizeston attributed most of the credit for severely damaging the Phantom Troupe to Dia, to the later Stella incident where he received a letter of praise from Tsutsumi, and then to his recent achievement of eliminating the Yorknew City gang.

Various factors led him to this extremely valuable star rating.

This speed has far exceeded the association's previous records.

The last hunter to be rated as a star in the fastest was Kido herself.

At a young age, she spent about a year deciphering the pathogenesis of a long-standing disease and developing a corresponding vaccine, thus earning the title of "One-Star Hunter".

Unexpectedly, this record was broken by Dia, and by a large margin. Once this gets out, it will probably cause a huge uproar.

However, due to her age, the record for the youngest Star Hunter is still held by Kido.

She was a "genius girl" back then, and no one has been able to challenge her to this day.

Of course, if the original storyline unfolds as it should, this record will likely be broken by Gon after he resolves the Chimera Ant incident.

Mo Laowu, also a key figure in the Ant Group incident, even rose to the rank of three stars.

As the MVP who single-handedly held off and killed Neferpitou, there's no reason why Gon shouldn't receive a star rating.

Qi Duo smiled, picked up the pen on the table, and signed her name in delicate handwriting, agreeing to the document.

When Diya returns, it will be a perfect surprise for him.

Ring ring—

The landline on the table rang.

The vice president of this association usually gets her official phone number from Mr. Doumian, or when the receptionist is unavailable, she will dial this landline.

Kito picked up the phone and put it to her ear:

"Hello, this is Qiduo, what's up?"

“Miss Qiduo, this is the situation. We have a visitor to the Hunter Association, but her identity is very special. She is the twelfth prince of the Kakin Empire and specifically requests to see Mr. Dia. What should we do?”

Qiduo immediately frowned and sat up straight.

The twelfth prince of Kakin? It should be that girl named Mumu Ze Hui Ke Luo.

And she immediately asked to see Dia... Well, that's not surprising, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Compared to her previous dissatisfaction, Kito was surprisingly calm at this moment.

Ultimately, it's just that Diya took on a disciple, which is perfectly normal. Then that disciple came to him, and there's nothing wrong with that. It just so happens that the disciple is a girl, but that's nothing special.

In any case, at least from Dia's perspective, the situation isn't that serious; it can't be any more explosive than what happened with Poxon...

It doesn't matter, just take it easy.

She hypnotized herself like this, speaking into the microphone:

"Take her to the reception room, and I will personally receive her."

In general, it wouldn't be necessary for someone of Kito's caliber to personally receive a prince from just one country.

However, Mumu Ze was a special case, and Qi Duo was willing to spend more time entertaining him, which could also be considered as helping Di Ya to get a feel for this disciple's background.

……

In the reception room.

Mumu Ze sat quietly, silently drinking his tea.

'I didn't expect that Teacher Diya wouldn't be here, but that person is...'

That girl named [Kido Yorkshire] is Dia's teacher, and by that logic, she's her... advisor?

Logically speaking, she should have been very respectful to Qiduo, but what happened a month ago made it difficult for her to remain calm and maintain proper etiquette.

Although one day afterward, when she called to ask about it, Dia explained that he was healing her wounds by holding Qiduo's hand, and made it clear that her injuries were caused by him.

I'm still so angry!

Even when healing, one should be mindful of distance; standing this close doesn't resemble a master and disciple at all.

Of course, she didn't say these things to Dia, because it would make her seem very impolite.

Dia once described to her how she saw Qido, a figure who was almost perfect.

She used all sorts of terms like intellectual beauty, generosity, wisdom, courage, and resourcefulness. Compared to that, if she were too impolite, it would be a huge drawback!

'But then again, she's really amazing...'

Mumu sighed, reluctantly admitting that in terms of personal achievements, she estimated she could never compare to that person named Qiduo in her lifetime.

It would be more appropriate to replace her with Dia.

What would such a person be like in real life?

'What if she has violent tendencies...? What if she doesn't like me and wants to hit me...?'
