The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

"Now interrupting with a match announcement, on February 24th at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a highly anticipated match between two players, Bailang and Hisoka.

The Heaven's Arena is famous worldwide for its combat, naturally giving extra attention and promotion to matches involving popular players.

This promotion is not only aimed at the outside world, but also internally.

For example, right now, just as Killua and the others are celebrating, suddenly, the television in the living room automatically turns on and plays a match advertisement.

Bailang, Hisoka!

As soon as these two names appear, Killua and the others in the midst of celebration immediately turn their heads to look at the television.

"Hisoka? Is Brother Lang going to compete against Hisoka?" Gon looks at the screen on the television in astonishment.

The screen on the television is divided by 'VS', with Bailang's photo on the left and Hisoka's photo on the right, clearly indicating the information of the two players in the 13th match.

Killua and Kurapika are equally surprised.

"How could Hisoka be at the Heaven's Arena... and also competing against Bailang?" Kurapika furrows his brow and says in confusion.

After the initial surprise, Killua suddenly seems to remember something, tapping his forehead and saying, "Oh right, I almost forgot about this!"

After the Hunter Exam ended, he did hear a conversation between Hisoka and Bailang about going to the Heaven's Arena to compete, but because Hisoka never showed up, he gradually forgot about it.

"What's going on, Killua? Do you know about Bailang and Hisoka's match?" Killua's words make Gon and Kurapika look at him, with the latter quickly asking.

"Um... I actually don't know the specific details, I just know about this situation." Killua briefly explains what he heard in the conversation.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Bailang and Hisoka had a match during the first round of the Hunter Exam. So, this match is likely a continuation of that encounter." Kurapika speculates thoughtfully.

"There's a good chance. The 24th is a few days away... um, what's today's date?"

Gon nods repeatedly, then tries to calculate how many days until the match, but realizes that he doesn't even know the current date, and looks at Killua and Kurapika with a pleading look.

Killua and Kurapika look at each other somewhat speechlessly.

"It's 7 days from now... I definitely won't miss this match. What about you guys?" Killua first resolves the worries of his good friends, then speaks seriously.

"I'll go too!" Kurapika says decisively.

During the final round of the Hunter Exam, he had a match against Hisoka and was soundly defeated.

Although he doesn't hold a grudge against Hisoka because of it, he still feels somewhat unwilling.

Now that he has become a Nen user, he naturally wants to see how far he is from Hisoka.

"I'll go too. Brother Lang's match against Hisoka will definitely be very exciting." Gon also quickly says.

Killua nods and says, "Alright, let's go watch the match together!"

Gon and Kurapika nod, indicating that there's no problem.

The Heaven's Arena clearly attaches great importance and attention to the match between Bailang and Hisoka.

Setting the match date 7 days later is to allow sufficient time for promotion.

Not only have the rooms in the Heaven's Arena started promoting the match, but also the city.

Almost on the same day the match application was submitted, all the billboards in the city were immediately replaced with promotional materials for Bailang and Hisoka, causing the match to receive immediate attention.

"Hisoka... I remember now, isn't he the player who defeated Huashi Doulang? He's a formidable character."

"These two are both exceptional players, one is a potential candidate for the floor master, and the other is a rising superstar. No wonder the Heaven's Arena is promoting the match on such a large scale."

"Placing bets, placing bets! Hisoka 1.5 to 1, Bailang 2 to 1..."

Under the overwhelming promotion, the whole city became lively, with people discussing the match everywhere in the streets and alleys.

At the same time, various gambling companies didn't miss the opportunity and eagerly set up betting games, inviting people to place bets.

"2 to 1 odds? With this payout, you deserve to lose."

Passing by a betting point of a gambling company, Bailang, wearing a duckbill cap and sunglasses, turned his steps when he heard the odds inside and decisively walked in.

Although he didn't lack money, he wouldn't refuse free money.

Not to mention that the other party set his odds higher than Hisoka's, clearly looking down on him. He definitely needed to teach them a lesson.

There is a prize money for the matches in the Heaven's Arena, and reaching the 200th floor is enough to win a prize of around 200 million Jenny.

Not to mention that in order to comprehend the power of conviction from the Variable 3, Bailang sometimes visits the local casino in -580.

So he directly placed a bet of 1 billion Jenny on himself.

After a little incident, Bailang, who came out of the betting point, once again put his hands in his pockets and continued to stroll around as if taking a walk.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened and it became night.

Bailang, while strolling, came to a park on the outskirts of the city.

With the combination of the outskirts and the night, there was no one else in the park, only dim lights shining.

After entering the park, Bailang stopped his steps after a while.

"I'm telling you, when are you planning to make your move? I've already walked to such a remote place..."

Bailang, who stopped, showed a helpless expression on his face. He turned around and looked behind him, then shouted loudly.

After a brief silence, footsteps sounded.

In Bailang's field of vision, a figure slowly walked out.

Through the dim lights in the park, it could be seen that this was a middle-aged man wearing a sleeveless martial arts uniform, with muscular arms exposed.
