A Hisoka Lure

Horns installed in every corner of the airship blared simultaneously.

"All examinees on the airship, please gather in the training room."

"All examinees..."

It was repeated three times.

Su Wu, who had just gotten into bed, walked out of his room with a grim expression, carrying his backpack.

He looked like he was about to kill a hundred people in the next second.

He was obviously the only one who had gone to bed so early. By the time he reached the training room, the other examinees had already arrived.

He was the last one.

There were only examinees in the training room, no proctors.

Once all the examinees were present, the loudspeaker sounded again, "Ahem, this is Bindo..."

"The time is now 9:03 PM on January 6th. Please arrive at the venue by midnight on the 7th."

"Well then, goodbye." The proctor's voice was full of ease and teasing.

As his words fell, the floor of the training room suddenly split in two, opening to the sides. The examinees standing inside were caught off guard and fell one after another.

"Aaaaaaaaah--"

"Help--"

"I can't swim--"

Piercing screams echoed through the night sky. Below was an empty sea.

The deep ocean was always ready to welcome them.

The examinees fell into the water one by one.

"It's like chiaotzu dropping into water," Su Wu said, standing in mid-air and leisurely admiring the others' disheveled state.

Seeing their embarrassing appearances, his displeasure at being disturbed from sleep dissipated considerably.

He used his Six Eyes to observe the surroundings.

The airship had dropped the examinees into the sea some distance from the Aijin Continent, but judging by the distance...

Swimming for two to three hours in the sea would also get them to the edge of the Aijin Continent.

Did the 7th refer to midnight, which was just over two hours away?

That would be cutting it a bit close.

"The moonlight tonight is truly beautiful, so you must all work hard! The moonlight will illuminate your efforts," Su Wu said, waving to the group of examinees floundering in the sea below as he stood in mid-air, a bright smile on his face.

As for himself, he used Blue Sky for ultra-long-distance movement.

In just a few minutes, he arrived at the edge forest of the Aijin Continent.

Eighty percent of this continent was a deep green, with plants as far as the eye could see.

Moreover, most of these plants possessed a stronger life energy than most of the examinees.

The view from his Six Eyes was equivalent to seeing a dense thermal imaging display.

Besides plants, there were also many moving life forms, likely animals in the forest.

Furthermore, his Six Eyes also detected traces of humans.

Hundreds of people were already waiting at the edge forest.

Su Wu approached silently, perching on the branch of a large tree, maintaining a moderate distance from all the examinees as he quietly observed everything.

Everyone present was very quiet, and the atmosphere was somber.

As for the being with the strongest life energy...

Su Wu's gaze fell upon a figure leaning against a tree, holding a deck of cards, with star and water drop patterns beneath his eyes, wearing earrings, and sporting red hair. His expression became subtle.

It's Hisoka...

Did this guy participate in the 286th exam? Shouldn't he be taking the exam with Gon and Killua in the next session?

Observing him up close like this was much more engaging than watching him on screen.

His martial arts uniform made his waist look incredibly thin. He was also wearing high heels, and if he remembered correctly, he walked with a cat-like gait? Thinking about it, what a flamboyant guy.

When watching the anime on screen, Su Wu had of course recognized and understood him. Although he knew the guy was a pervert, he didn't dislike him. He didn't have any characters he disliked in anime. Even if they were truly evil villains, as long as they had a handsome face, he wouldn't dislike them.

He didn't have strong subjective emotions when watching anime, nor did he particularly like or dislike any character.

He just found it amusing when characters fought and killed each other. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been selected by the "Fun System."

Having watched hundreds of anime but not being a fan of any character could be considered a talent in itself.

Now that they were in the same world, he didn't dislike Hisoka, nor did he care whether the other party was good or bad. After all, he himself wasn't exactly a good person.

But the main thing was that Hisoka was a pervert.

As for Su Wu himself, he was young, good-looking, strong, and had a very high potential ceiling for the future.

No matter how you looked at it, he was a walking Hisoka bait, specifically tailored for Hisoka…

If Hisoka saw him, he would definitely latch onto him.

The thought of that guy who called himself a fruit farmer calling him "my unripe little apple" one after another…

Especially that scene in the original anime where the other party was staring at Gon and Killua's butts, and his crotch would occasionally light up…

Not good. Just thinking about it sent a shiver down his spine.

He absolutely couldn't accept it.

Su Wu thought for a moment and shook his head.

He was already starting to look forward to the scene where the other party would act flirtatiously in front of Gon and Killua.

That would be a scene comparable to a world-famous painting.

Being targeted by a pervert himself – unacceptable.

Others being targeted by a pervert – a welcome sight.

In any case, he should maintain a distance from Hisoka. As long as he didn't touch that inexplicable G-spot of his, he probably wouldn't be targeted.

But who knew how many G-spots a pervert had? So it was best not to run into him at all.

Anyway, this guy couldn't possibly be an examiner. Wait, speaking of which, he definitely didn't pass this year, so he must be participating in the next exam.

With his strength, it was impossible for him not to pass, so what happened this year?

He should have paid more attention when watching the anime. Now he was like a cloud, only understanding the plot vaguely.

Su Wu touched the tree trunk and sighed helplessly.

As for the other few individuals with vigorous life energy…

His gaze fell upon two figures standing extremely close to each other, their clothing styles resembling couple's outfits or parent-child outfits.

The clothing style was extremely bizarre, covered in sheep heads and strange eye patterns, like priests with a mysterious faith?

The slightly shorter girl was holding a snow-white lamb in her arms, while the taller boy was smiling. Both of them had two ram-like horns on their heads.

Decoration? But those were clearly real horns…

Are they… siblings? No, wait… these two aren't human at all, are they?

The Six Eyes looked like two blobs of dark, viscous matter, completely unrelated to humans in any way.

The Hunter Exam actually had two non-humans mixed in?

The girl looked like a normal, gentle young lady, but the boy… was very strange and eye-catching.

Even Su Wu had to admit that the other party's outfit was much more attention-grabbing than his.

So it wasn't strange that Hisoka would target them.

Su Wu glanced at Hisoka, whose gaze was fixed on the two non-humans, a lecherous smile on his face, and withdrew his gaze speechlessly.

Another person whose life energy was stronger than the other examinees, but not as strong as the two non-humans, Hisoka, or himself, was a man carrying two swords on his back.

Hmm… this guy looked like a normal person, but his strength was a bit weak…

Someone weaker than him could be an examiner, yet he was still just an examinee. It was truly unpleasant.

Hisoka probably felt the same way, right?

Su Wu swung his legs dangling in the air.

Two hours later, several more drenched figures appeared in the crowd, scrambling and crawling.

The man with the two swords glanced at his watch and then announced, "It is now January 7th, 00:00. Registration has closed."

"Anyone who did not make it is disqualified."
