A Relaxed Chairman X Sparring

Nosra Manor.

In the courtyard.

"Phew, that's a relief."

Netero leaned back in his chair, enjoying the black tea Biscuit handed him, and also taking a bite of a pastry.

His mustache swayed up and down as he chewed, and he couldn't have been more content.

Kevin sat beside him watching this scene and shook his head helplessly.

"I heard from Qiduo and the others that even when you were the Chairman, you often dumped troublesome things on them, and you weren't nearly as busy as you claim." cough cough cough

Netero, who was eating cake, coughed.

He turned to look at Kevin and waved his hand.

"You don't understand, kid. It's exhaustion, you know? Exhaustion."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and began to list them one by one.

"As the head of the Hunter x Hunter Chairman, I have to deal with a lot of things by liaising with high-ranking officials from various countries. You can understand that, right? These troublesome matters are really annoying."

The Hunter Association's power basically fluctuates based on the abilities of the Hunter Association Chairman.

After all, the Hunter Association is nominally a civilian organization, but it possesses many privileges, so it is free to some extent.

If the Chairman of the Association is an incompetent person, then the Hunter Association will essentially become a glove for the higher-ups of various countries during its term, helping them do all sorts of bad or troublesome things.

A mere thug.

Conversely, it's like Netero.

They have a high degree of freedom and will only fully obey the orders of high-ranking officials in various countries when it is truly within their responsibilities.

As for the Hunter Association, have any countries considered abolishing it? After all, it's an unstable factor.

The answer is yes, I've thought about it, but it's impossible.

Nen ability are very clear-cut: the stronger one's Nen ability, the more capable one is, and the more flamboyant and obvious their individuality becomes. Only a very small percentage of these individuals, due to their own experiences and beliefs, will be loyal to their respective countries and obediently follow orders. Other types of geniuses and experts will completely disregard orders.

With the Hunter Association, a privileged and highly free organization, acting as a platform, these unruly individuals are brought together. They are motivated to act through fame, fortune, power, and wealth.

It's the simplest way.

"Maitai to do it? He seems like a law-abiding guy."

Biscuit him, took a sip of tea and couldn't help but ask.

Although she was not Twelve Zodiacs, she was, after all, Netero's apprentice and was acquainted with many of Twelve Zodiacs, having met virtually everyone.

"That's wrong. He's essentially a ruthless guy who'll stop at nothing, yet he's also quite rational."

"The only thing we might lack is strength. There will definitely be people who disagree on that, but we don't need to worry about that too much right now."

In fact, if all Twelve Zodiacs were to participate in the election, Qiduo and Porto would both be highly competitive candidates.

Even if Biscuit were willing to run, she would definitely be one of the top contenders.

Because of the war against the Undying disease and the journey to the Dark Continent, Biscuit already had a certain prestige, was awarded even more merits.

Maitai Cai is currently the Chairman of the Hunter Association, and after Netero goes to the Dark Continent, he will naturally start sending resources back. After trading with Kevin, he can obtain some potions, which will naturally improve Maitai's strength.

Moreover, Netero isn't dead; he's on the Dark Continent, looking towards even greater heights.

Having witnessed the strength of Kevin and his group, who among those who haven't returned from the Dark Continent would dare to act recklessly?

That's just plain crazy.

"What about your ten spots? How were they selected?"

Biscuit asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Netero revealed a somewhat smug smile.

"Originally, I only classified Qiduo and Koto as members of the Dark Probe, but I saw Morel working hard for the new ship, and the new ship is clearly a Dark Probe vessel."

"How can Morel not be considered a member of the Dark Probe? Besides, he himself was willing to leave the Twelve Zodiacs, after all, he didn't stay in that position for very long."

Because of the Chimera Ant war, Morel was promoted to Three-star Hunter and then pulled into the Twelve Zodiacs by Netero. Before he could even settle in, he was sent to Kevin's side to join his exploration team on a journey to the Dark Continent.

To some extent, Morel is not a member of the Twelve Zodiacs at all; he is practically someone bound to the Dark Probe.

Having realized this, Netero began to act again.

By assigning Morel to the Dark Probe, another spot became available.

This really angered the six kingdoms, who started creating trouble for Netero.

Why don't the Hunter Association just disband, stuff everyone into the Dark Probe, and fill all the spots on the Dark Continent at once? We know the Hunter Association and the Dark Probe are basically in cahoots now, but they can't be this blatant.

This essentially harms their interests, naturally causing dissatisfaction from all parties.

There were two before, which was fine, but now there are more.

Netero obediently surrendered, saying he would never do it again, and this was the last time.

But in any case, every vacant spot represents a huge benefit.

He was naturally pleased.

"So my spots are: Illumi, Zai Kang, Porto, Piyon, Saiyu, Yinda, Nobu, Biguda, Blood Hound, and Raph." "I haven't heard of the last three," Kevin muttered after a moment's thought.

After Biscuit said, "I've heard of Blood Hound. I think he's a Demonic Beast, right?"

Netero nodded.

"That's right, he's a Dog-Dog Beast Tribe."

Demonic Beast refers to non-human creatures possessing intelligence similar to that of humans.

The Dog-Dog Beast Tribe is a tribe of approximately two to three thousand that lives in human society.

Its distinguishing features include a pair of canine ears, a keen sense of smell, the ability to run quickly on all fours, and a body covered in thick fur.

"Is this alright? My potion might not be as effective on Demonic Beast. You don't want me to regenerate it, do you?" Kevin seemed a little surprised to hear it was a Demonic Beast and said from the side.

Netero shook his head. "Blood Hound is different. He was an experiment I rescued from an underground, illegal experimental organization more than twenty years ago. He's a hybrid of human and Dog-Dog Beast Tribe, with human blood in his body and his own Nen ability."

Here we go again.

Anything that comes into contact with human blood can acquire Nen ability.

Humans are truly a wonderful hybrid.

Thinking about this, Kevin couldn't help but mentally rant and rave.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of Biguda and Raph. They were teammates with Blood Hound and were also survivors of that experiment. They have the genes of the Demonic Beast in their bodies."

"After treating them, they learned Nen ability and began to fight against genetic experimentation crimes in various places. They were not well known and were mainly led by Blood Hound."

"The reason I chose these three is because their combined Nen ability are extremely rare."

All three were products of a laboratory and had never met their parents.

The three grew up together, endured hardships together, escaped together, and developed an almost perfect understanding. They also received Nen ability.

This is why it constitutes such a rare combination-type Nen ability.

"Really? I've never heard of that."

Biscuit thought for a moment and then said.

Netero glanced at him and explained, "The three of them have very useful Nen ability when separated, but when combined, it's essentially an outlet for their past hatred and pain."

"So it's just a powerful finishing move. The Hunter Association's team lacks such an ability, so I chose these three."

Hearing this, Biscuit glanced at the old man and raised an eyebrow.

"I see. So it seems you were prepared all along."

"Hehe, don't take this old man for a fool. Besides, other countries will definitely have similar configurations. Ten slots, not too many, not too few."

"Each spot must be carefully selected to form a perfect combination."

At this point, Netero suddenly became somewhat angry, glanced at Kevin, and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"These people will all end up benefiting you, you brat."

Kevin simply smiled, took a sip of tea, and remained silent.

You know, when they came back, they gave us a complete set of data from the exploration.

Very little information was concealed, including details about Kevin's Lord authority, the creation of various top-tier potions, and his interactions with other Lord. Aside from that, virtually nothing was hidden.

Therefore, all countries understand this very well.

Other potential future exploration bases are uncertain, but the core of Kevin's current exploration base lies in Kevin Nen ability. Kevin is practically telling others that as long as they provide him with materials, he can supply them with some of the potions he makes. This is called an exchange.

So the teams provided by each country will eventually become Kevin's Hunting team.

The data clearly indicates that the monsters slightly stronger than those on the Dark Continent are all enormous in size. Normal human Nen user would find them very difficult to hunt, much like how mosquitoes can bite human skin but cannot cause fatal damage.

Unless poison or something similar is used.

But Kevin specifically needs biological materials, and if the toxins damage these materials, it would be a net loss.

After ensuring the team possesses Nen ability such as healing, tracking, defense, and storage, absolute hunting capabilities must be guaranteed. The goals of each nation are not short-sighted.

Therefore, the initial team of ten was mainly used to lay the foundation, and then new personnel could be gradually added to fill any gaps. After chatting for a while, Netero became interested.

"Perfect timing to warm up and test our skills before heading to the Dark Continent. Anyone interested in a fight?"

Netero looked at Kevin and asked with a smile.

Kevin glanced at him and shook his head.

You're too weak right now.

Upon hearing this, the veins on Netero's forehead visibly throbbed.

Heh heh, how long has it been since I've heard something like that?

But Kevin just happens to be able to say these things without any restraint.

That really makes me dissatisfied.

In an instant, Netero's heart burned with excitement again.

Pursue your dreams without limit.

"Then let me see for myself, shall we?"

Upon hearing this, Kevin stood up helplessly.

"Since you want to see for yourself, fine, but be careful not to get killed by one punch."

"Heh heh, then you'd better hold back a bit."

They've started fighting! They've started fighting!

Biscuit immediately became excited.

He quickly started calling on his friends and acquaintances, since many of them were currently training at the Nosra Manor.

A large group of people gathered and arrived at the bare Back Mountain.

This area has been leveled by everyone's sparring, and the area has expanded to become a circle with a diameter of 3 kilometers. The center is riddled with craters.

Soon, Kevin and Netero stood a hundred meters apart in the center, while Biscuit and the others stood scattered around the perimeter, intently watching the distance. "Why are you two here?"

Biscuit looked at Illumi and Hisoka standing behind Kiy and asked curiously.

Illumi remained expressionless, while Hisoka smiled and pointed at Killua.

"We're visiting as relatives, after all, it'll be rare to see you again."

Kiy simply rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay any attention to the two of them.

"I can't believe my luck! I've only been here a day and I've already stumbled upon something so amazing!"

Biscuit couldn't be bothered with the two of them.

They've simply come here to gather information from those who experienced it firsthand, to learn more about the Dark Continent, and undoubtedly to prepare for their future journey Dark Continent. There are quite a few people like them now.

However, it's harmless.

At this moment, in the middle of the field.

Kevin glanced at Netero in the distance and waved slightly.

This signals to the opponent to make the first move.

"When did he start using weapons?"

Qi Liao looked at the two-handed greatsword in Kevin's hand and asked strangely.

He had almost never seen Kevin use a weapon; the guy always used his fists.

It's quite rare to see Kevin fighting with a weapon these days; it's really unusual.

"Idiot, wouldn't it be more boring to just punch the Chairman to death?"

Men Qi reminded him from the side.

"Huh? Using a sword is less risky?"

"When have you ever seen Kevin use a weapon? This is the first time I've seen that weapon, but it's probably Nen tool made from Nen Sand and some other materials."

The situation is just as Men Qi described.

That sword was newly forged; it was an experimental weapon.

I'll use Netero to test it out.

In the center of the arena, Kevin drew his greatsword from its blade and casually put the scabbard back into his ring.

Kevin wielded the massive two-handed greatsword with one hand and swung it twice. Judging from his movements, it was clear that this guy knew absolutely nothing about using a sword.

Fortunately, their strength had already reached this level, so they could easily learn the basic techniques after a couple of casual swings and getting used to them. Netero, standing opposite them, watched this scene with veins throbbing on his brow.

"What an underestimating brat!"

There's really nothing to say right now.

"If you're not coming, then I'll come first."

As Kevin spoke, he gripped his greatsword and swung it forward with a sudden motion.

"Call out!"

A sharp, piercing buzzing sound that tore through the air.

The sword was swung out forcefully, creating a huge sword aura.

Due to the speed at which this sword energy sliced through the air, it abruptly transformed from intangible to tangible, becoming clearly visible through the fluctuations in the air. The enormous blade swung three meters high, instantly cutting a huge gash in the ground, causing sand and gravel to fill the air.

The flying sword energy even brought with it an exaggeratedly strong gust of wind, sweeping forward from behind Kevin.

Those watching from a distance were suddenly buffeted by a strong gust of wind that came from behind.

"Hey! You're really going to kill the Chairman!"

Men Qi shouted a reminder.
