Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 113 Student Russell

Or is the preliminary exam still ongoing?

Because it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, Dongba also began to doubt himself.

Jin Gang, on the other hand, went straight to the counter.

Are all the people going upstairs test takers?

The counter staff confirmed that they were all fighters from Sky Arena and had paid to go upstairs to rest.

They will inform them in advance if the exam is to officially begin.

"When does the exam start? Are you also members of the Hunter Association?" Tonpa asked curiously.

Based on his years of experience taking the Hunter Exam, this situation was highly unusual.

"We don't know the exact time either, we still need to wait for notification, but we can tell you more that your first exam examiner is Master Elliott, a martial arts master of the Infinite Flow style."

Noticing that many test takers were listening, the counter staff provided explanations.

This building was Elliott's property, but his infinite flow technique was still in its early stages.

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

"Is he a contestant from floor 200 or above?" Some of the test takers had already recognized him.

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

"Judging from the name, you're not the original poster, are you?"

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

In Kerry City, whenever martial artists are mentioned, the first person that comes to mind is the owner of the Sky Arena.

"Although Elliot is not the boss, his strength is the closest to the boss's. He recently scored 7 points in his battle with the boss of the 200th floor."

Another candidate spoke up.

For candidates from other places who are not familiar with the Sky Arena, they did not quite understand what some of the other candidates were saying.

Dongba was thinking to himself.

This time, the examiners are actually martial artists from the Heaven's Arena!

Having participated in the Hunter Exams multiple times, Tonpa always kept an eye on the skilled fighters who appeared among the examinees.

Among the candidates who make it to the end, there are always martial artists from the Sky Arena.

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

That means that in the Sky Arena, candidates who are qualified to reach the 200th floor can skip the preliminary exam and go directly to the formal exam.

They had no idea about this.

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

The current rule has actually been lowered to 150 floors.

Sky Arena is just too much of a stunner.

Basically, by the time players reach level 200, they have all mastered Nen and no longer need to take the Hunter Exam or become Hunters to learn Nen.

Since it's not exam time right now, there's no need to worry.

"Jin, do you have any money on you? We don't know how much longer until the exam," Dongba asked with concern.

Jin nodded. He had taken some money with him when he left Whale Island, but not much.

It's unclear whether prices outside the island are significantly 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 not ordinary people. They can go to the Sky Arena to fight and earn some money for food without any problem."

Some of the test takers, acting as if they knew each other well, came over.

He was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"My name is Russell, what's your name?" The boy's first focus was on Kim.

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

"Of course, at least if you are physically healthy, it is definitely possible to find a job in Kerry City that provides for your basic needs. Even if you have a disability, there are ways to make money through drug trials. In short, beggars are not allowed in Kerry City."

The boy named Russell seemed very familiar with Kerry City.

"If you don't have a place to stay tonight, I have a room available for you," Russell invited the blond man.

It's puzzling why he cares so much about Kim.

Is it because they are about the same age?

"Staying here overnight is quite troublesome. If I don't get enough rest, it will be difficult to cope with the upcoming exams. Besides, who knows who among the candidates is?"

The last sentence was said in a low voice.

The Dongba were completely ignored.

"I have nowhere to rest either," Dongba said softly.

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

It's a bit biased.

"Uncle!" Dongba was furious at being addressed like that. He was still very young, even though he looked a bit older.

"This is my first time here too, and I don't know if I have enough money." Dongba's expression clearly showed his distress.

He had already decided to give Russell a good scare.

At this point, Tonpa had not yet fully transformed into a rookie killer; if possible, he still wanted to become a hunter.

However, each time he was unlucky, either the danger he encountered forced him to give up the exam.

"Didn't I tell you? There are plenty of ways to make money even if you don't have any?"

After Russell finished speaking, he left with Kim, and Kim accepted Russell's invitation.

Take the elevator directly up.

Inside the elevator.

"You probably noticed it too, that candidate, right?"

"Are you Mr. Dongba?"

"Of course, although he concealed it well, his malice couldn't escape my notice." Russell had a keen intuition in this regard.

"So you're up to no good either?" Jin asked.

He acts like the type who speaks his mind directly.

"Of course not, I just want to be friends with you. Putting aside the fact that we are close in age, you are really amazing to be able to maintain such an innocent look in this situation."

Russell suddenly and inexplicably praised King.

What does it mean to have an innocent and pure appearance?

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

"You can't fool me. My intuition is never wrong. Your harmless demeanor is just a facade," Russell said to himself.

At this moment, King seemed a bit defeated, having never met someone like Russell before: "Your way of making friends is really quite unique."

What they said wasn't anything nice.

"Because I feel that this is the only way I can become 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 formal examination venue alone, you're bound to excel."

Jin expressed his incomprehension of Russell, questioning whether such a direct and pragmatic approach could truly teach friends.

The elevator doors opened quickly, and the conversation temporarily ended.

We arrived at their room.

"It's huge!" The interior was quite luxurious for Jin.

However, this was quite ordinary for Russell.
