Living in Hunter x Hunter

On the airship.

"My name is Tommy Soren, and I am your examiner for the second exam. The airship will now take you to the venue for the second exam. It seems you encountered some issues yesterday, so you can take a short rest on the airship now."

The exam certainly couldn't be taken on an airship.

The candidates dispersed.

Lucci also planned to find a random place.

Lu Qi wasn't sleepy, so he found a secluded spot and did some simple chanting.

Whenever he had free time, Lu Qi would make the most of it, integrating cultivation into his daily life as much as possible.

Nothing else happened.

Three hours later.

The airship arrived above a bustling city.

The second exam will take place in the city, and it's unclear what kind of exam it will be.

Lucci knew this city.

Ferrol is a well-known city in the world.

Because this city has the world's largest library, which contains a wide variety of books.

Lucci was surprised when the examiner took them directly to the Stockton Library.

That is, the world's largest library.

The library is in the form of a building.

Because there were so many books, they all turned into a high-rise building.

Tommy Soren, the examiner, seems to have some kind of authority within the library.

After arriving at an empty, internal library.

Tom, the examiner, then began to announce his test questions.

His exam was very simple; it was a straightforward written exam.

The exam content was to be taken in the library behind him.

"The total score is 100 points. As long as you can get 20 points, you will pass the exam. It's very easy, right?" Tommy said with a smile.

"How is this possible! There are so many books here!"

This internal library probably has around ten thousand books.

"So, I'm giving you three days to look at these books." Tommy gave the test takers three days, but that was a bit unreasonable.

"But what if I can't read?" There are always some special candidates.

Tommy said with a helpless expression, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. That's just how my exam rules are."

The exam content sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to do.

Lucky had already started working, picking up a book and flipping through it.

And the browsing speed is very fast.

Lucci did not possess the ability to remember everything he saw.

But once he has "seen" it, he can use his "dream" ability to search for it.

Lucci's memories are very complex, and finding what he needs from among them is definitely not just a dream.

Instead, it has a certain "search" capability.

By "searching" for keywords, Lucci can quickly select many relevant memories.

Now, Lucci's "dream" ability has evolved into the ability to feign sleep.

It's already very convenient to use.

"By the way, if anyone damages the books, they will be penalized. Of course, if anyone wants to quit, they can do so now."

Of course, no one quit.

Then Tommy, the examiner, disappeared, giving the many candidates the opportunity to "study".

There are still more than 200 test takers. If they work together, they can handle this exam.

First of all, the examiner only mentioned that it was a simple exam, without mentioning that cheating was prohibited, or even that copying answers from each other was forbidden.

Even open-book exams are possible.

Of course, none of that matters to Lucci, since he can cheat anyway and doesn't need to consider too many factors.

Tommy is also one of the few book hunters among the hunters, and he is also a hunter of learning and words.

"Everyone, my name is Dongba."

Lucci stopped what he was doing and looked over.

Dongba, have you already started taking the Hunter Exam?

What I saw was not a square-nosed middle-aged man, but a young man who didn't look like an anime character at all.

This is the young Dongba priest.

The Dongba then began to recount his discoveries.

I believe that this exam requires everyone's cooperation to pass.

The examiners didn't say that copying was prohibited, so they only needed to divide the work and read a portion of the book. Of course, this also tested the candidates' memory abilities.

Three days isn't enough time to memorize something and then remember it forever.

Because of the Dongba (a type of Taoist priest), many candidates realized that cooperation was indeed necessary.

They also discussed various possibilities.

Some test takers even suggested stealing the exam papers, since knowing the questions would make finding the answers much easier.

This is also a method.

It also gained the approval of some test takers.

Dongba even suggested that if one wanted to make copies of the exam papers, one could perhaps bribe the staff here to obtain the information.

Then it was suggested that some scholars in this library be found who are very knowledgeable about the books in this internal library.

When it's time for the exam, have him help you directly from the side.

It is not necessary to read books.

All you need to do is pass the exam.

It is very unconventional.

These methods all impressed Lucci.

Dongba, the "rookie killer" in the anime, actually has some brains!

That makes sense, though. He started taking the Hunter Exam at the age of 10, and even though he didn't pass, he survived.

He continued to participate in the Hunter Exams, and by the time the protagonist appeared, he was completely unharmed, without any missing limbs.

They definitely have the ability, and they're not bad at all.

The current Tonpa probably hasn't thought about becoming a "rookie killer" yet. It's only when he keeps failing the Hunter Exams that he starts to give up.

During the Hunter Exam when the young lady appeared, it was the penultimate exam, and it was clear that Tonpa really wanted to become a Hunter.

Lucci did not choose to act with the other candidates.

In other words, he doesn't have shadow clones, otherwise Lucci planned to read through all the books here when he had time.

Even if he can't finish reading all the books here, he doesn't need to worry during the exam. If he can't type the answers himself, he can copy the answers from other candidates.

Of course, if none of them are correct, then there's nothing that can be done.

It was just bad luck to encounter such an examiner.

The difficulty of the exam will vary depending on the examiner's area of ​​expertise.

When faced with this type of examiner, candidates are eliminated quite quickly, and there's even a possibility that all candidates will be eliminated.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the time of the exam, all the candidates gathered in the library.

Tommy also brought his exam papers into the library.

In the library, besides the test takers, there were other people who could help them with their exams.

With their help, passing the exam will be a breeze.

The exam was also held in the library.

Tommy didn't impose any restrictions; he even said that students could refer to the book during the exam.

This is an open-book exam!

There are 100 questions in total, all of which are fill-in-the-blank questions.

The exam lasts for 6 hours.
