Capítulo 40: 040 Do You Want to Form a Team with Me?
"Hahaha, it's okay, if you don't understand anything, just ask me... By the way, are you thirsty? I happen to have two cans of juice here. Would you like one?"
Seeing Tonpa's gracious look, the veterans who knew his reputation snorted in disdain, watching Ronnel's reaction with great interest.
"Thank me…"
However, before Ronnel could respond, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He quickly turned his head.
There stood a man, recognizable by his signature makeup and the poker card in his hand, staring at Ronnel with a strange smile.
"Hisoka... so he's really here?"
Seeing the 401 number plate hanging on Hisoka's chest, Ronnel raised his guard.
"He's never seen him before, he must be a newcomer. But this guy doesn't seem like someone to mess with~"
Noticing Hisoka, Tonpa thought about greeting him but decided to quietly retreat. His 30-plus years of surviving the Hunter Exam had given him some sense of danger.
"Oh hehehe, it's been over a month, and you seem to have gotten stronger. I thought you were just a growing apple, but it seems you've ripened sooner than I expected. I can't wait to taste it!"
Hisoka licked his lips, his gaze at Ronnel completely unrestrained.
"Pervert."
Out of sight, out of mind. Ronnel turned away. Now that his strength was on par with Hisoka, even if he couldn't win, he was confident enough to defend himself.
Just then, the faint sound of a door opening broke the tension, and everyone turned toward the only staircase in the wine cellar.
A middle-aged man wearing a casual jacket, with yellow hair and dark circles under his eyes, came down, yawning.
Facing the stares of the crowd, he glanced around lazily before pulling a bell from his pocket and giving it a shake.
"It's time, the 286th Hunter Exam, with a total of 401 participants."
His voice was weak, but everyone listened attentively.
"I'm the examiner for the first test. My name? Eh, too much trouble, so I won't bother. Anyway, passing the first test isn't going to be easy. Let's cut to the chase."
"The content of the first test is…"
The examiner with yellow hair and dark circles fell into deep thought, mumbling to himself.
Seeing this, many of the participants twitched their lips in disbelief.
Mr. Examiner, you don't even know what the test is yet?
"Ah! Sorry, I had the idea last night, but I forgot after I woke up this morning," the examiner suddenly exclaimed, fist hitting palm.
"But now I remember."
The participants: "..."
You forgot something so important? What were you even doing last night?
Some of the examinees couldn't help but look at the unreliable examiner with concern.
"Okay, what I had in mind was that if there are too many people, then we'll just have to reduce the number. So, the first round will be in two parts."
The yellow-haired examiner pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and began smoking.
Hearing this, the examinees felt a chill and focused their attention entirely on him, ready for the test's explanation.
"Before the official test begins, you all need to form teams."
The lazy examiner said, blowing out a puff of smoke.
"Once you've formed a team, I'll give you the details of the next stage."
As soon as he finished, one of the participants raised their hand and asked,
"But examiner, there are 401 of us. What about the ones who don't find a team?"
"They'll be eliminated!" The examiner gave the participant a sideways glance.
"If you're rejected by 400 people and no one wants to team up with you, what qualifications do you have to become a Hunter?"
He waved his hand dismissively, "Hurry up! You've got ten minutes. Anyone without a team will be eliminated!"
As soon as the words were out, the underground wine cellar turned into a chaotic scene, like a crowded market.
Ronnel looked around at the other participants quickly forming teams, his eyes scanning for someone reliable.
I'll carry, you just follow.
But as a newcomer, Ronnel found it difficult to approach anyone. The veterans had already started grouping up with familiar faces.
After a bit of searching, Ronnel noticed most people had already teamed up.
As for the ones still alone~
Ronnel's gaze landed on Hisoka, who was also scanning the crowd for a partner. Sensing Ronnel's gaze, Hisoka grinned, noticing he was alone as well.
"Oh hehehe, looks like you're alone too. How about it? Want to form a team with me?"
