Chapter 68: Zevil Ind
In this Phase, no one is to know who is hunting them. The Examiner only allowed them to look at their prey.
Because of this, even An, who watched this as a show, didn’t know each candidate’s target.
For example, in the show, Gon’s target was number 44, which is Hisoka, but right now, An couldn’t confirm if it was still the case.
This made An slightly ufortable.
The drawing was done by firste, first served. The first to reach the tower is the first to draw a card, and thest to get there is thest to draw a card, even though everyone wanted to pick their card early.
Although manyined about this, in the end, they could only follow this rule.
They know that if they don’t follow the rules, the Examiner will eliminate them.
And in only one minute, all 28 candidates drew a card from the box.
The numbers in the box are exactly the numbers on the badges of the remaining candidates.
So, everyone here is a hunter, but also a prey.
At the moment, An was thinking about the numbers he knew about. Hisoka is #44, Illumi is #301, Kurapika is #404, Hanzo is #294, Leorio is #403, Ponzu is #246, Killua is #99, and Pokkle is #53.
As for Chrollo, Pakunoda, And Uvogin, they had #33, #18, and #100, respectively.
Like Hisoka, those three wore their number badges without hiding them at all.
For them, it doesn’t matter who tried because no one can take them away.
This is the Ryodan’s confidence.
An did the same. He didn’t hide his badge, so all candidates here knew his number.
The rules of this Phase are simple; you need to get 6 points to pass. Getting your prey’s badge earns you three points, and keeping your badge gets you another three points.
Each badge that isn’t your target gets you 1 point.
If someone couldn’t get his target’s badge, he needs three badges from other people to pass.
Anyone who didn’t have 6 points by the end of the time limit has failed to pass.
After getting their number, An and the other 27 candidates boarded the Airship prepared by the association toward the next destination.
They reached an isted Ind after 3 hours. This Phase is conducted on this ind.
Looking at the ind from a high point, it funnily looked like a bra.
The candidates had to finish this Phase within a week on this ind.
The ind had more than two thousand small cameras arranged in advance by the Hunter’s Association to monitor the Hunters’ every move.
Strictly speaking, there is only one rule that restricts the candidates, which never kill each other.
If someone snatched someone’s badge by killing them, the Examiner would eliminate them from the Exam.
Uvogin was the most ufortable by this rule.
He initially thought that he could fight on this ind, but Uvogin felt restricted once he heard this rule.
This was convenient for Hisoka, who enjoys toying with opponents rather than killing them.
“An, who is your target?” Before entering the Ind, Gon approached An and asked curiously.
“I will keep it a secret for now.” An gave him a mysterious smile.
He didn’t want to reveal his target to anyone, including Gon.
Hearing this, Gon couldn’t help being curious about this, but since An said he wanted to keep it a secret, he didn’t ask again. However, he muttered: “I won’t reveal it either then.”
“Maybe we are each other’s target.” An smiled.
Gon froze before he scratched the back of his head and said: “I don’t know if I’m your target, but I can assure you that you’re not mine.”
An raised his brows: “Really?”
“Yeah, of course.” Gon nodded and pointed at An’s badge: “An, you’re #123. This isn’t the number I drew from the box.”
“Well, then I will tell you that you’re not my target as either.”
Gon was relieved.
“Great, when I saw you smiling at me, I thought that I’m your target.”
“So, Gon, if you were my target, what would you do? Would you hand your badge directly? Or would fight till the end?”
Looking at An’s expression, Gon thought for a while: “Well, I would fight till the end, even if it’s you, An, I won’t give up easily.”
“I knew you’d say that.” An smiled. He knew Gon’s character well and knew how stubborn he could be.
An’s tone changed as he said gravely: “Gon, I want to ask you something.”
“What is it?” Gon wondered.
“Is your target #44?” An asked seriously.
Gon was about to answer, but Killua walked up with his hands in his pockets and said: “What, Gon, is your target #44? What bad luck, #44 is Hisoka.”
Seeing Killua’s expression, Gon shook his head and said: “No, my target isn’t #44.”
“Really?” An was a little suspicious.
Killua whistled: “If it’s not #44, then it won’t be a problem. If it were, it would be troublesome.”
Gon confirmed: “It’s really not Hisoka, so don’t worry.”
Hearing this, An nodded and didn’t say anything else.
He knew that initially, Gon’s target was Hisoka. However, even with that, he managed to grab Hisoka’s badge.
But this time, his target isn’t Hisoka, but it will be unknown whether he can get his target’s badge or not.
“By the way, who is your target, Killua?” Gon asked.
“I will temporarily keep that a secret.” Killua smiled.
An was speechless. Those two learn too fast.
He suddenly regretted not sharing his target with them because now, he was curious about it.
But he didn’t ask nheless.
“By the way, An, do you want to go together in this exam?” Gon asked.
An shook his head: “No, let’s go separately. After all, it would be meaningless if we teamed up in this Exam.”
“Well, I think so as well.” Killua nodded as he agreed with An.
Gon was a little disappointed that both Killua and An didn’t want to go together in this Exam.
This time, he had to rely on his power toplete the fourth Phase.
Soon after, the Airshipnded on the ind, and the candidates were released in the same orders as before. The first to finish thest test is the first to go into the ind.
The interval between each candidate going into the ind is ten minutes.
And since this test had a time limit, thest candidate, who is Gon, or Killua, lost about 270 minutes from that time.
When it was their turn, it was already dark outside.
An didn’t rush toward his target but instead found made a camp and started a fire.
Since it was the first day, there was no need to hurry.
An knew that Hisoka, Illumi, Chrollo, Uvogin, Pakunoda, Killua, and Kurapika had the same idea.
On the first day, they would find a ce to camp before making ns.
After all, this Phase time limit is a whole week, which was more than enough to get to their targets.
