Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 51 Examination Rules

There is no time limit, until three qualified candidates appear.

Attacking other candidates will result in immediate elimination.

Upon hearing this rule, the first thought of all the candidates was that it was limiting Lucci's performance.

Netero laughed heartily, which was part of his quirky sense of humor.

Tommy and Hussum are pretty sure that the other candidates, having witnessed Lucci's strength, will definitely target him immediately.

"This is the number of special number plates. Once a special number plate has been used, the number will be reduced by one."

A machine was pushed out.

Three 99s, like a scoreboard, represent the maximum number of special number plates that can be issued.

There is a maximum of 7 number plates for each candidate.

There was also a machine with the candidates' number plates displayed on them, and seven dots below them.

Each time one is identified, a dot will light up, allowing candidates to check their number.

There is no time limit for this exam; it continues until someone passes, or until all the special number plates are used up, at which point no one will pass.

Furthermore, if a candidate is eliminated by a special number plate, all the number plates that candidate has obtained, including the special number plate, will also disappear.

For example, the group of candidates wanted to eliminate Lucci, but Lucci had already found the other candidates' number plates. When Lucci was eliminated, the candidates represented by the number plates in his hand were also eliminated.

Because it is no longer possible to obtain the required qualifications.

After explaining the rules to all the candidates, the exam officially began.

This hotel is very large, and there are many ways to hide the number plate; it's even possible that it's hidden in someone's possession.

Furthermore, since it is an inanimate object, it is impossible to detect its aura and identify the target by its round shape.

Netero's proposed method of restriction is quite good.

Unfortunately, he was unaware of Lucci's Sharingan abilities.

Under normal circumstances, he would first look for a number plate that could prevent him from being eliminated, or the number plate of other candidates.

However, the Sharingan's hypnotic abilities could completely turn these test takers into Lucci's accomplices.

Perhaps this is one of the advantages of having the ability to hide.

However, Lucci was in no hurry to use this ability, and had already planted a psychological suggestion in the group of examinees.

Lucci decided to play around with it first.

After the rules were explained, the other candidates planned to team up to eliminate Lucci first.

Whoever finds an expired number plate can use it directly, no need to be polite.

Although this test wasn't evaluated based on combat skills, Lucci displayed too many special abilities; who knows how fast he could find the number plate.

Wesley, a martial artist from the Sky Arena, did not choose to stand with Lucci despite admiring him.

Instead, they teamed up with other candidates.

They also revealed some details.

"I know you have your own agendas, but don't hesitate, Lord Lucci. You'll definitely find the number plates faster than we do, so don't hesitate even if someone gets eliminated."

Wesley was worried that some candidates might fear Lucci finding their number plate, leading to Lucci's elimination and consequently preventing them from passing the Hunter Exam.

Even if they unite, they may not be able to win if they hesitate.

He knew of Nian's existence, but who knew what strange abilities Nian might possess?

"Do you know his true identity?" The examinee here was definitely not asking about Netero's disciple identity, which had just been revealed.

Then Wesley began to explain Lucci's great achievements to the group of test takers.

This surprised some test takers once again, as they had heard of the Sky Arena before.

However, none of them had been there yet; they only knew it was a city of martial arts practitioners.

Lucci began searching the hotel.

Despite knowing that the circle wouldn't be of much use, Lucci still unfolded his circle to see how things went.

Niteiro stroked Lucci's beard and noticed that Lucci's roundness had increased since their last meeting, and he was very pleased with Lucci's progress.

A small or round shape doesn't necessarily indicate a Nen user's strength, but a large or round shape definitely indicates a strong Nen user.

Netero is looking forward to Lucci's growth, while also feeling very lucky.

How lucky it is to encounter an opponent when you are at your peak.

Netero believed that once Lucci grew up, he would definitely become his "opponent".

And it won't take too long.

The secret formulas that Lucci researched were also helpful to Netero. They didn't necessarily help him break through his strength, but they were very good for his health.

His fall from grace was much slower.

It can be said that since some of Lucci's research was put into use in the Heaven's Arena, martial artists have placed great importance on maintaining their physical health in addition to pursuing strength.

Maintaining good health can not only prolong one's martial arts journey, but also raise the upper limit of one's martial arts cultivation.

After Lucci discovered that the circle was useless, he could only rely on the Sharingan's perception ability to search for things.

He then discovered that there were many staff members in the hotel, so he asked some of them to help him search, for a fee, of course.

Lucci is now a rich man.

The Sharingan's powerful perception, combined with Lucci's high speed, allowed him to quickly search and scan his surroundings at the same time.

They quickly found a number plate.

These are not special number plates, but rather the numbers on the candidates' number plates.

Unfortunately, it wasn't mine.

The other candidates were assigned tasks directly.

The hotel has 42 floors.

There is still room for each candidate on each floor.

Furthermore, finding the number plate on the first floor won't be too easy.

They also asked the hotel staff for help; having taken a second exam, they easily came up with this idea.

It's a pity that the Sharingan isn't the Byakugan; otherwise, relying solely on the Byakugan's X-ray vision to see outlines would be even faster.

More than half an hour later, a candidate finally found the special number plate that had been eliminated.

Without hesitation, I wanted to use it.

However, having already been mentally manipulated by Lucci, he stopped and decided to go to the lobby to check if his number had been found.

Basically, any candidate who finds their elimination number will experience this.

We will decide whether to use it or not after confirmation.

Some candidates did not use it, while others used it directly after confirmation.

The hypnotic suggestion given by Lucci was not obvious.

Previously, considering his master Netero's presence, Lucci used his Sharingan and did not use Nen.

Including the candidates who come here, their willpower is not bad.

Lucci didn't insist, partly because he believed he could find the corresponding special number plate.

One option is that if you're really unlucky, then you're out.

He wasn't particularly keen on becoming a hunter, and he found the hunter exam quite interesting.

Get to know some hunters and their career paths.

If I'm not unlucky enough to be eliminated, I might encounter something interesting like this exam in the next one.

Lucci approached this final exam with a playful attitude.
