Life at Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 113 Candidate Russell

Or is it that the preliminary examination has not yet ended?

Since this was the first time Dongba encountered such a situation, he began to doubt himself.

Jin Gang just walked straight to the counter.

Are those going upstairs candidates?

The counter clerk answered in the affirmative that they were all fighters from the Sky Arena and they all paid to go upstairs to rest.

If the exam officially starts, they will inform them in advance.

"When does the exam start? Are you also from the Hunter Association?" Dongba asked curiously.

Based on his years of experience taking Hunter Exams, this situation was very unusual.

"We don't know exactly when it will be held, and we need to wait for notification, but what I can tell you is that the examiner of your first exam is Master Elliot, a martial artist of the Infinite Flow."

Noticing that many candidates were also listening, the counter attendant began to explain.

This building is Elliot's asset, but his infinite flow is still in its infancy.

He directly used his martial arts hall as the first gathering point for the candidates.

"Is he a contestant above the 200th floor?" Some candidates have already recognized him.

The opponent is also a martial artist from the Sky Arena.

"From the name, you're not the host, right?"

Some candidates from Kerry City first thought of martial artists at the level of the OP.

Basically, when people talk about martial artists in Kerry City, the first person that comes to mind is the owner of the Sky Arena.

"Although Elliot is not the owner of the building, his strength is the closest to that of the owner. He recently won 200 points in the battle with the owner of the 7th floor."

Another candidate spoke.

For candidates who came from other places and were not familiar with the Sky Arena, they did not quite understand what some of the candidates said at this time.

Dongba was thinking in his heart.

Is it possible that the examiner this time is a martial artist from the Sky Arena?

Dongba has participated in many hunter exams and he always pays attention to the masters who appear among the candidates.

Generally, among the candidates who make it to the end, there must be a martial artist from the Sky Arena.

Then many candidates, including Dongba, heard news that surprised them.

That is, any candidate who is qualified to reach the 200th floor of the Sky Arena can directly take the formal exam without taking the preliminary exam.

But they never knew this.

This made some candidates from other places wonder whether they should also participate in the Sky Arena competition.

And now this regulation has actually been lowered to the 150th floor.

The Sky Arena is really too exciting.

Basically, players who have reached the 200th floor have mastered Nen and no longer rely on taking the Hunter Exam and becoming a Hunter to learn Nen.

Since it is not the exam period now, there is no need to worry.

"Jin, do you have money with you? I don't know how long it will take before the exam." Dongba asked with concern.

Jin nodded. He did bring some money when he left Whale Island, but it wasn't much.

It is also unclear whether the prices outside are very different from those on Whale Island.

"If you want to make money, it's very easy in Kerry City. The candidates who can come here are no ordinary people. They can go to the Sky Arena to compete and earn some money for food."

Some candidates came over in a familiar manner.

He is a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"My name is Russell, what's your name?" The first person the young man paid attention to was Jin.

"I'm Jin. Is it easy to make money here?" Jin couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, at least if your body is intact, you can definitely find a job in Kerry City to make a living. Even if your body is disabled, there are ways to make money by testing drugs. In short, beggars are not allowed in Kerry City."

The boy named Russell seemed to be very familiar with the city of Kerry.

"If you don't have a place to stay tonight, there's a vacant room in my room and I can give you a seat." Russell invited Jin.

It is hard to understand why he cares so much about Jin.

Is it because they are about the same age?

"It's still very troublesome to stay here overnight. If you don't get enough rest, it will be troublesome to cope with the next exam. Besides, who knows who is among the candidates?"

The latter sentence was spoken in a low voice.

Dongba was completely ignored.

"I have no place to rest either." Dongba said in a low voice.

"Uncle, don't you have any money?"

It's a bit biased.

"Uncle!" Dongba felt angry when he was called like that. He was still very young, although he looked a little older.

"This is my first time here too, and I don't know if the money I've prepared is enough." Dongba could see through his distressed expression.

I have already decided in my heart that I am going to trick Russell.

At this time, Dongba has not yet completely transformed into a rookie killer. If possible, he still wants to become a hunter.

But every time he was unlucky or encountered danger, he had to give up the exam.

"Didn't I tell you? There are many ways to make money even if you don't have money."

After saying this, Russell took Jin away, and Jin accepted Russell's invitation.

Take the elevator directly up.

In the elevator.

"You should have noticed it, the candidate."

"Who are you, Mr. Dongba?"

"Of course, although he concealed it very well, his malice could not be hidden from me." Russell has a keen intuition in this regard.

"So you have bad intentions too?" Jin asked.

He seems like the type who speaks his mind.

"Of course not, I just want to make friends with you. Not to mention that we are close in age, but in this situation, you can still keep a straight face and look innocent. You are really amazing."

Russell suddenly and inexplicably praised Jin.

What does it mean to look innocent?

Jin's eyebrows twitched a few times, revealing his mood.

"You can't fool me. My feeling is not wrong. Acting harmless is just your disguise." Russell said to himself.

Jin looked a little defeated at this time. It was the first time he met someone like Russell. "Your way of making friends is really special."

Those are not nice things to say.

"Because I think this is the only way I can make friends with you." Russell said directly, acting entirely on his special intuition.

This answer left Jin speechless.

"But why do you want to be friends with me?" Jin still didn't quite understand.

"Of course it's your potential. At this age, and coming to the official examination site alone, you must be outstanding."

Jin said he didn't understand Russell. Can such a direct and utilitarian method really teach friends?

Soon the elevator door opened and the topic was temporarily terminated.

Came to their room.

"It's so big!" The interior layout was considered very luxurious for Jin.

But it was normal for Russell.
