Idol
The Chimera Ant need some time to ferment, so Oboro still has time to stay in the Association.
Before hunting the ant swarm, as the plot unfolds, there's a little treat you can't miss... that's Jed from the movie.
This character is quite strong, and the souls that fall should have some effect... As for the Phantom Troupe, to be honest, for Oboro right now, the death of a single member doesn't hold much appeal.
Even if the Spiders have all grown to the level of national-level Hunter x Hunter, the souls or black mist dropped by individuals, when converted into 'experience points', do not provide much of an improvement.
A national-level Hunter x Hunter, he started killing two years ago...
However, the Spiders have a numerical advantage, and overall, the profits they can obtain are quite good.
After all, even a small mosquito is still meat.
Among Nen user, they are considered to be a very outstanding group.
In recent years, Oboro really hasn't had time to deal with the Spiders; he hasn't taken the Phantom Troupe to heart at all.
Hisoka contacted him only a limited number of times, and the former seemed to be very busy... Most importantly, he stopped bothering him.
Based on what Oboro knows about Hisoka, this guy is most likely training in seclusion, like crazy... Even if he joins the Phantom Troupe, he won't have no free time at all.
Ever since Oboro accompanied him on a mission with the Botswa Tribe and witnessed his own madness as he overdraws his future potential, Hisoka seems to have changed...
Menchi and his team returned just a few days after becoming Samsung Hunter x Hunter.
It's worth mentioning that two months ago, with Oboro's help, Menchi became Two-Star Hunter.
She is now the deputy captain of the squad, and in Oboro's absence, she is in charge of directing and arranging everything.
Long achieved his goal, and since further cultivation was no longer of any use to him, he temporarily withdrew from the team, leaving Menchi to lead the team to continue their progress.
The team has reverted to a five-person group. Oboro explained to the five members that his original intention in creating the team was to one day travel to the Dark Continent. Before going to the Dark Continent, there is no rush to make a decision. The five members can still stay in the group and choose to join or leave when they go to the Dark Continent, giving each person ample time to consider.
It won't hinder their growth.
The words "Dark Continent" held extraordinary significance for the Hunter x Hunter... Even though the five had complete faith in Oboro, they still had to think carefully and cautiously, because this... concerned their lives.
Although all five immediately declared that they would take Oboro as their leader, Oboro still told them not to rush to conclusions.
Most Hunter x Hunter possess an adventurous spirit deep within them. If they successfully return from the Dark Continent, they will undoubtedly be recorded in human history, worshipped by future generations, and regarded as idols and heroes... However, the probability of this is not high.
Looking at past examples, the greater possibility is still death.
Finally, Menchi and his group set off.
During this time, something quite interesting happened: the review committee wanted Menchi to serve as an examiner for the 287th Hunter Exam, but the woman refused.
According to the original storyline, Menchi and Buhara will become the examiners for the second venue of this year's Hunter Exam.
However, the appearance of Oboro triggered a butterfly effect, making Menchi not only extremely powerful but also upgraded from a one-star to a two-star. His personality was also somewhat influenced by Oboro, becoming more ruthless.
In Menchi's view, going to the Hunter Exam as an examiner and reviewing a bunch of novices is a complete waste of time.
It's better to use that time to complete tasks and improve yourself.
Therefore, even when the committee called in person, Menchi refused to give them face and firmly rejected the proposal.
In the eyes of several teammates, Menchi's personality is becoming more and more like Long's.
Therefore, Oboro naturally took on the responsibility and informed the committee that he would be the examiner for the second examination hall of this year's Hunter Exam.
This greatly surprised the committee, after all, Oboro was a genuine three-star Hunter x Hunter! Generally speaking, it was already very rare for Two-Star Hunter to show up in previous Hunter Exam.
Of course, it would be even better if Oboro could personally show up and oversee the process.
And so, at the very beginning of the story, Oboro became the examiner.
Since I've already promised the president, I'll slow down for now.
Once the plot begins, what he needs to do is actually quite simple: just watch from the sidelines, and then, based on his familiarity with the plot, wait for the opportune moment or look for an opportunity to reap all the 'supplements'.
His death list has quite a few people on it.
"They're here."
The following day, Oboro arrived at the Association's headquarters and stepped into a conference room.
Pushing open the door, I saw several familiar faces gathered inside; they were all examiners for this year's Hunter Exam.
The room was filled with professional Hunter x Hunter: Satotz in a pink suit with a curly mustache, Lippo, a bounty Hunter x Hunter with a mohawk, Kara, a smiling woman, and Mashita.
As soon as Oboro appeared, everyone turned to look at her.
Some people looked nervous, some stood up from their stools, and others were at a loss.
They never expected that a three-star Hunter x Hunter would participate in this year's Hunter Exam.
Oboro's name is legendary... who doesn't know it? Especially for some newcomers who have just joined the Association, such as Mashita, who is dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses, imitating Oboro's outfit.
He is a big fan of Oboro.
"No need to be so serious, we're all colleagues, just relax..."
With a wry smile, he reassured everyone, easing the tense atmosphere in the meeting room.
After he took his seat, the others exchanged glances, sat down, and began to discuss the exam content... The Association would select and arrange the venue based on the exam content.
The people in the room were far from all there were; there were also test reviewers, test officers, and so on, but they were all lower-ranking personnel.
Everyone was actively speaking and discussing, while Long sat to the side watching with a smile, without saying a word.
"Senior Oboro, what do you think?"
Mashita swallowed hard, looked at Oboro, and his eyes revealed obvious admiration.
"You decide."
Long smiled gently.
He observed the group with interest.
Of all the exams this year, the two most memorable for Oboro were Satotz from the first round and Lippo from the third round, while Kara was the guide, or narrator, for the fourth round.
Mashita was in the final round, and one of the black-clad referees was playing against the candidates...
In the original work, the later rounds of examinations had certain unique characteristics, as no examiners were designated.
Perhaps it's also because Kara and Mashita have only been with the Association for a short time and lack some experience.
As for Satotz, he was actually a fan of Ging Freecss. It was fate that he noticed and took care of Gon.
In Satotz's eyes, Ging Freecss was the best Hunter x Hunter in the Association.
After a while, the exam content was finalized, exactly as vaguely remembered, except for the second round, which was still a blank.
"I haven't thought about the content of my exam yet. I'll come up with some questions when I get there..." Long snapped his fingers and smiled.
"Good."
No one said anything.
The man in front of me has that right.
After exchanging words for a while, everyone dispersed.
Watching the man's retreating figure, Satotz, standing at the door, wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Oboro was very friendly to them on the surface, for some reason, Satotz felt a lot of pressure... He always felt that Oboro and Kin were fundamentally different, despite being high-ranking members of the Association.
It might be related to the rumors... Many people have died at the hands of this man.
Including the former one of the Zodiacs, Shen Monkey's Journey to the Saiyu.
"So cool!"
Mashita, standing to the side, clenched his fist with immense excitement.
Because when Long left, he patted him on the shoulder and told him to keep going.
This is encouragement from my idol!
Satotz understood him well... It's a kind of happiness to have someone solidify your direction and motivation on your Hunter x Hunter's path.
I had a tooth pulled this afternoon, and my mouth is still numb...
It's been almost five hours, and the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet; I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable.
