Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

Until he saw a familiar and impressive face in the crowd.

Saci shouted in shock, even the small mouth that was originally hidden under the curly beard was revealed.

"Hey, Satchel, I haven't seen you for a while."

A friendly smile appeared on Link's angular face, and he waved his right hand gently, greeting Sachi.

The two men had not yet realized that their conversation had caused an earthquake-like movement among the other candidates.

"What? Does this guy know the examiner?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you let someone who knows the candidate be the examiner? Is this a backdoor?"

"Who is this person? How could he know such a person?"

……

For a moment, the candidates were discussing the matter heatedly. Some were surprised that Link knew Saci, while others were worried that Link might get in through the back door through his connections.

"Wow, Leorio, Kurapika, did you hear that? Mr. Link knows the examiner!"

Xiaojie looked at the smiling Link, his eyes full of admiration.

"Hmm, it seems Link is quite rich!"

Leorio's mind was distracted, perhaps he was thinking about his future life after getting the hunter certificate.

Now that I see Link is so famous, my first reaction is that he must be quite rich.

Although Leorio was right, Link did have a lot of wealth now.

In the crowd, Ilmi, who had been shaking his head continuously, also stopped and no longer made the "clicking" noise.

A thoughtful look appeared on that extremely curious face.

Where did he seem to have heard the name Link before?

Immediately realizing his own misstep, Saci suppressed his desire to question Link and continued speaking to the restless crowd:

"From now on, the Hunter Exam officially begins!"

"One final confirmation. In this exam, if you are unlucky or lack the ability, you will be seriously injured or even die."

"If any candidate wants to leave, they can return now by taking the elevator they came in by."

Saci paused for a moment, and seeing no one was moving, he spoke again:

"I see. All 405 people took the first exam!"

Normally, with Link joining in, the number of people should be 406.

However, when Gon and the others were talking to Dongba, one unlucky candidate had his arms crippled by the bad-tempered Hisoka, so there was one less candidate.

After making the announcement, Saci turned around, spread his arms and legs, and ran forward in a strange puppet-like posture.

"For the first exam, please follow me to the second exam location!"

The candidates also started to move. Looking from above, the endless crowd looked like waves rushing forward.

"Well... I don't really like this boring running thing, so this is when the importance of a mount becomes apparent!"

Link glanced at the surging crowd beside him and muttered to himself.

……

"Hey! Look, what is that?!"

"Is this true? Am I dazzled?"

"Is this a magic trick? How could such a big dog suddenly appear?!"

A large orange dog suddenly appeared at the front of the crowd like a flash of light, walking side by side with the leader Saci.

The big dog has very fluffy and lush hair that looks good to the touch. It has a big tail and the black stripes on its body make it look majestic.

It was the Arcanine that Link had just obtained not long ago!

Link was sitting on top of Arcanine!

In the corner, Hisoka jogged forward while turning his head to stare at Arcanine, his narrow eyes revealing an unknown meaning.

Is it a mind beast...

In the eyes of other ordinary people, the appearance of Wind Speed ​​Dog can only be regarded as a magic trick. Only those with the ability of Nen know what it really is.

Seeing Arcanine reminded him of the ferocious giant beast just now, and he thought it should also be Link's mind beast.

Not to mention the giant beast, even the dog under Link's crotch now emits a faint aura that is stronger than his!

Looking at the leisurely Link, the fear in Hisoka's eyes became more and more intense!

Chapter 3: Two-star Ruin Hunter! One-star Bounty Hunter! (4/, looking for data)

"Mr. Link, is this also your mind beast?!"

Looking at the big dog beside him with a strong breath, with a hot air flow floating with every breath he took, Saci's eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.

This beast has an inexplicable power, and even just staying next to it makes Saci feel a little scared.

Even his running posture was a little inconsistent for a few moments.

What Satsuki didn't know was that this was the characteristic effect of Arcanine.

Threatening!

Even if it is not activated intentionally, every move of Arcanine will reveal a natural sense of intimidation!

But at this moment, Saci was more concerned about another thing...

Weren't all the Nen Beasts displayed at the Moros ruins?!

This now brings up a terrifying question - how many mind beasts does he have!

Saci felt that Link was like an endless treasure chest, and something shocking would pop out from time to time.

His strength is unfathomable, and it seems that no one can allow Mr. Link to fully demonstrate his strength...

In Saci's perception, the furry dog ​​running freely had a much stronger aura than himself!

"Yes, it's called Arcanine, and it's my mount. It's cute, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Link placed his hands on the fluffy dog's head and rubbed it vigorously.

The feel is simply top-notch!

"Wow, wang wang!"

Feeling the touch of its master, Arcanine shouted happily, with faint sparks coming out of its mouth.

The fluffy and handsome big tail wags like a rattle.

Saci felt that as long as he was with Link, shock was a common occurrence, and now he was almost numb...

Compared to the surprise that Arcanine brought him, Satsuki felt that there was nothing surprising about Link not being a Hunter yet.

That's right.

The reason why Sachi was surprised in front of everyone just now was because of this matter. He didn’t expect that Link was not a hunter yet!

Like Menqi before, in his opinion, a being as powerful as Link must have been a hunter long ago.

That's why he was shocked to meet Link during the Hunter Exam.

"By the way, Mr. Link, there is something I can tell you."

"Um?"

It turned out that after Pyorn and Sats jointly reported Link's deeds, the Hunter Association drafted a reward for Link's achievements.

Link's deeds up to now include:

Get rid of the dead thoughts of the Halim ruins known as the "death place"!

Remove the death thoughts in the Moros ruins!

Kill two members of the S-rank criminals "Seven Deadly Sins" - Envy and Rage!

These achievements are truly impressive!

Therefore, the Hunter Association has formulated rewards for Link based on these achievements!

Especially removing the death thought of Harimu ruins, it is the greatest contribution among the three things!

It is undoubtedly an extremely significant contribution to the field of relics!

How serious is it?

It was so big that the association directly promoted Link to a two-star relic hunter!

Normally, for an ordinary hunter to become a one-star hunter, he or she must make significant contributions in a certain field.

Assuming you are already a one-star hunter, you need to train another one-star hunter disciple before you can be promoted to a two-star hunter.

But there are exceptions to everything!

Link's contribution was enough to allow the association to make an exceptional promotion and directly reach the prestigious two-star relic hunter!

For example, Mo Laowu in the original novel was promoted directly from a one-star hunter to a three-star hunter because of his outstanding performance in the fight against the Chimera Ants!

You should know that "Kin", one of the five greatest Nen users in the world, is also a two-star relic hunter.

However, according to Link's estimation, Jin's contribution should be enough to reach the level of a three-star hunter.

It's just that he didn't care about these false reputations and didn't report them.

These titles are actually nothing, only hard power is the truth!

Perhaps the association is trying to win over Link, a two-star relic hunter.

They must make friends with a mind-eliminating master whose ability to eliminate thoughts is unprecedented and will never be surpassed!

In the world of Nen users, Nen exorcists are extremely important.

A mind remover who can easily remove the dead thoughts in a relic is countless times more important!

With the two-star relic hunter gem in front, the remaining one seems to be a little inferior.

But this is still an honor that countless hunters will never get in their entire lives - that is, a one-star bounty hunter!

This is the reward for killing rage and jealousy!

This was a little unexpected for Link, but he understood it after thinking about it for a while.

Excluding one-third of the members of the S-class criminal gang, it can be said that he has made a significant contribution in the field of bounty.

Criminals of this level are at least in the A-level range, but few people can get rid of them.

There is also a hidden threat.

The remaining gang members will not let it go like this, and what they will face next is their revenge!

Killing one or two is not particularly difficult, but the difficult part is facing retaliation from the entire gang!

Like Tomoe, the head of the Zoldyck family in the original work, he took a job and killed a member of the Phantom Troupe.

Then he faced the revenge of the Phantom Troupe, although it was not a big problem considering his strength.

But what is worth mentioning is that he lost money on this deal.

The principles of the Zoldyck family are rather strange. In their view, there is a price for killing anyone, and as long as you can afford the price, they dare to take it.

If the target's strength exceeds their own, they will deliberately offer the employer an extremely high price, which is a disguised rejection of the order.

In their view, killing is purposeful, and any task they do is very purposeful, and they will kill anyone they want to kill.

No one else will be killed unless it is necessary.

In their view, you only paid the price for the target, and if you kill others you would be losing money.

The employer only paid for killing one member of the Phantom Troupe, but in the end, Silva faced revenge from the entire troupe, so he naturally lost money.

Ever since that incident, the entire Zoldyck family has significantly increased the amount of money they pay for missions from the Phantom Troupe.

In a disguised sense, this is the benefit of "protecting one's shortcomings", as others will be more cautious when taking action.

So it was totally legitimate for Link to get the one-star bounty hunter title, without any exaggeration!
