Chapter 210: I Choose…
Menchi couldn't help but glare at Buhara next to her.
You didn't tell me such an important thing in advance?!
Buhara: "...?"
He was confused and could only scratch his cheek.
It felt like Menchi was inexplicably angry again.
So strange...
"So, you believe it now, right?"
Lan looked at Gon and said: "Satotz has never had any contact with Ging, and Buhara doesn't know much about Ging. If you go to find Chairman Netero, think about how difficult it would be to snatch the ball from him."
"So, I'm here now, which is the best, or even the only chance to find Ging."
"What's your choice, Gon?"
Gon: "..."
It's so hard to make a decision!!
His face was obviously hesitant and tangled, not to mention that his heart was shaking violently.
This was nothing like the battle he imagined. In fact, he thought this situation was even harder than fighting with Lan!!
Gon simply sat cross-legged on the ground and tilted his head.
It would be better to let him fight with real swords and guns, which would be easier!
On the one hand, there was Ging, whom he wanted to know, and on the other hand, there was the hunter qualification that he had to get after going through all the obstacles!!
He had to make a choice between these two aspects. Even Gon fell into deep thought!
Lan was not in a hurry; he was waiting for Gon to make a crucial decision.
The other applicants stared at the absurd scene in front of them.
"It is not necessary to use force; negotiating conditions and deals is also ok."
Hanzo rubbed his chin; he felt that his strength in negotiating was quite strong.
Pokkle also felt that it was difficult to gain an advantage with his own strength, so it would be better to choose this kind of method.
It must be said that the two-choice method proposed by Lan helped these applicants greatly broaden their thinking.
Then, Gon's choice lets them verify their ideas about the game.
And Gon's decision is.
"I want to be a hunter!!"
Gon raised his head, his eyes full of determination.
"Before taking the Hunter Exam, I decided that I wanted to be a hunter!!"
Under the joyful and relieved eyes of Leorio and Kurapika, Gon said: "I want to see what kind of career Ging wants to become to the point that he abandons his son!"
Abandon his son…
Well, these words changed the expressions of several people present.
"No wonder he wants to find his father…"
Menchi muttered to herself: "Abandoning his son and family, this father is very irresponsible, like a bastard…"
"I will find out where my father is, and I will inquire about his news..."
Gon said solemnly: "I will do all these after I become a hunter!!"
"Well said, Gon!!"
Behind, Leorio loudly encouraged and supported: "We will become hunters together!!"
Swish!
Lan cast a glance over there, and Leorio immediately fell silent.
"It seems that you have made a decision."
Lan retracted his gaze and looked at Gon's firm eyes.
"But you still seem reluctant."
Gon's face clearly said I really want to know, and I really don't want to give up.
This kind of expression of holding back, inner entanglement and thoughts, all showed on his face without any concealment.
"No, I've decided!"
Gon's voice became lower: "I want to become a hunter!!"
You are getting less and less confident when you speak.
"It's really unconvincing."
Lan shook his head: "But it is still your choice."
He picked up the phone, and under Gon and everyone's gaze, he smiled at the interface of the phone and said: "Your son made a choice that didn't disappoint you, Ging."
Click.
It was clearly heard that the signal was cut off on the other end of the phone, and a beeping sound was emitted.
Gon: "???"
Others present: "??!!!"
"Ah, that's right!!"
Lan nodded in front of the stunned eyes of the crowd, especially Gon's extremely dull eyes. "I was on the phone with Ging the whole time just now."
"But he seemed to have hung up later."
Lan said with a malicious smile: "I wonder if he is satisfied with your choice."
Gon: "..."
"Wow!"
Netero laughed happily.
This is exactly what he wanted to see, an interesting scene that's fun to watch.
"Since you're so ambitious and want to find your father's whereabouts by yourself, then I wish you good luck."
Lan finally gave him a blessing and then announced:
"I admit defeat in this battle."
Other applicants present: You admit defeat just now? So casually?!
"First round, the winner is Gon!!"
Mashita, on the side, immediately announced that Gon passed without hesitation.
So far, he has become the first applicant to pass this period.
"So... I've passed…"
Gon returned to the field in a daze, still a little unresponsive.
"Gon, congratulations on becoming a hunter!!"
Leorio patted his shoulder happily for him.
Well, becoming the hunter that he dreamed of is indeed something to be happy about.
But...
Why can't I be happy?
Gon felt that his situation was quite twisted and awkward.
This was not the way he expected to pass.
"You think you made the wrong choice, don't deserve this victory, and want to compete fairly, right?"
At this time, Lan's voice came from the side, and Gon nodded subconsciously.
Hmm?!
He also noticed something was wrong and immediately raised his head. He saw Lan looking at him with a smile.
"I knew that with your character of never admitting defeat if we really started a competition, it would definitely be endless."
Lan spread his hands slightly: "So, for the sake of Ging's help, it's better to admit defeat directly and prepare for the next game."
"But..."
Gon opened his mouth to say something.
"No buts."
Lan interrupted him directly: "You don't think I'm really a kind person, do you?"
He looked at Gon and couldn't help but slowly smile: "I'll tell you, I actually have a cruel side."
Hanzo, who was quietly looking over, couldn't help but shudder.
The subsequent second round of the battle was also relatively simple.
Kurapika vs. Hisoka, there is nothing to say about the battle between the two.
Kurapika faced this duel with the determination to win and the awareness of gambling his life.
Hisoka, on the other hand, was playing with the poker cards in his hand with an interested attitude.
Kurapika did try his best in the first fight between the two sides. But he didn't even touch Hisoka's hair. And everyone with a discerning eye could see that Hisoka didn't take it seriously at all.
He was just playing with Kurapika or testing Kurapika's strength.
When he was almost done playing, he took advantage of the close distance between the two of them and whispered a few words into Kurapika's ear.
Then he heard Hisoka admit defeat, and Kurapika became the second qualified applicant.
