Hisoka Is Already Impatient (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

In the deathly silence, the two examiners finally moved.

"It was our mistake, so we should give you a passing evaluation," Bindo gritted out, unwillingly.

"I'll give you a passing evaluation too," Rogov added, his voice flat.

Everyone's gaze fell on the white-haired youth, a question forming in their minds—would he accept the examiners' apology?

The white-haired, blue-eyed youth pressed down harder on the head beneath his foot, a sinister smile on his face. "No, I don't feel any sincerity from you at all."

"If you make a mistake, your apology should be more earnest."

"At least try harder to satisfy me," he said, bending down and grabbing the other person's hair, forcing them to look up.

His words felt strangely familiar to the examinees and examiners present.

Recalling carefully, this so-called sincerity was exactly the same as the examiners' previous comments to them.

"...We, are, very, sorry. Our previous conclusion was too hasty. Please let go of Hutori," Bindo apologized word by word, his face as dark as if his entire family had been murdered.

"...We have already felt the sincerity in your cooking," Rogov also said insincerely.

Honestly, being forced to eat overturned food, he hadn't felt any sincerity, but rather the taste of dirt and grass.

"How did my cooking taste?" Su Wu continued to press, unwilling to let it go.

"...Very, delicious," Bindo said, and after finishing the sentence, he seemed to lose a large portion of his energy.

"Mmm, it was delicious," Rogov replied in a low tone.

"Pfft—" Su Wu chuckled, looking down at the person deeply embedded in the pit. "What do you think?"

"You—" Hutori spat out a mouthful of mud, his expression one of sheer gritting of teeth.

"Watch your tone, that's not how an apology should sound, examiner." Su Wu applied more force with his hand, slamming the other person's face back into the pit with a bang, reminding him irritably.

He was already impatient, constantly fighting a headache, why couldn't these people read the room?

Three seconds later, he pulled the other person's head up again.

"...Very, tasty," Hutori said, his voice stiff and each word drawn out, his face covered in mud.

"Then there's no problem. I've passed the cooking portion, right?" Su Wu released his hand and stood up, patting his hands as if disgusted by the dirt.

The three examiners remained silent, and Su Wu looked at each of them in turn.

"Of course, you've passed," Bindo admitted with a grim expression.

"Good," the white-haired, blue-eyed youth said, as if relieved.

"Cooking for people is not something I should be doing at all. There will never be a next time." He walked towards the depths of the forest, but his ears keenly caught a series of laughter.

Excited, euphoric, even panting laughter—the kind that, in anime, immediately signals the character is a pervert.

And the only pervert here was—

Su Wu's expression remained unchanged. He didn't look back, not even glancing at Hisoka.

He didn't need to look to know he had probably been targeted.

After all, Hisoka participated in the Hunter Exam to find opponents, and potential seedlings who might become strong opponents in the future.

With the strength he had just displayed, there was no reason for Hisoka not to target him.

Even without turning around, he could feel the man's surging fighting spirit.

The examinees still remaining there were in for trouble...

Well, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

The white-haired youth's figure gradually disappeared from sight, followed closely by a blond figure.

The attention of the crowd returned to the exam.

"Disqualified!" "Too bad!"

"Is this feed or food for humans?"

"A plate of mud from a ditch would be better than what you made!"

As if to vent their inner anger on the remaining examinees, the examiners' criticisms were even more ruthless than before.

"Heh heh heh—" The red-haired man, faced with the examiners' harsh reviews, merely licked the poker cards in his hand, emitting a suppressed, twisted chuckle from his throat.

"I already..." A flush spread across his face, his voice trembling.

"Can't hold back anymore..." Before he could finish speaking, the cards in his hand shot out, reaping the lives of those present.

Sensing several life forms vanishing in an instant behind him, Su Wu didn't turn back. "You'd better leave with me now."

He said to Maro, who was following him.

"Is something wrong?" Maro asked, startled for a moment, then immediately with concern.

"A battle-crazed lunatic will probably come looking for you soon, and I won't go out of my way to protect you." Su Wu couldn't help but click his tongue and wave his hand dismissively.

If it weren't for those three examiners being so annoying, he wouldn't have resorted to violence.

Honestly.

"With your strength, sticking by my side will 100% get you killed." Knowing he was being targeted by Hisoka, he wasn't panicked at all. Instead, he even had the mood to mock Maro's strength.

"I understand. If I continue to follow you, Master, I'll only be a burden." Maro nodded solemnly and turned to leave.

"Master, please be very careful." His tone held no worry, as if he firmly believed the young man before him would win.

He left without hesitation.

This attitude, filled with almost blind confidence in him, made Su Wu absentmindedly stroke his chin.

He really should be careful, after all, Hisoka was a very troublesome opponent.

He couldn't definitively say who was stronger without having fought him.

It was difficult to compare combat power across different worldviews.

Su Wu felt his current strength was roughly equivalent to four or five Sukuna fingers, while Hisoka's strength was hard to gauge. The man's life energy was abundant, but the power of a Nen ability system depended on how well the user developed their own capabilities.

From Hisoka's abilities like "Bungee Gum" and "Phantohm Rouge," it was clear he had developed his powers very well, and there might even be other uses for them.

Thinking about it, it was indeed troublesome.

Someone else's Nen ability was developed so effectively, while his own Nen ability was full of randomness.

Well... once he roughly figured out the general uses of his cards, he could improve his control over his Nen ability.

"Honestly, shouldn't Hisoka's attention be diverted by those two non-humans..." Su Wu lowered his eyes and happened to see a pure white lamb dart out from the grass, running into his leg as if staging an accident, then collapsing with a thud.

If he remembered correctly, this was the pet carried by the sister of those two non-human siblings, right?

How did it end up here? Where were those two non-humans--

He closed his eyes, searching for the two individuals who were very conspicuous within his Six Eyes' perception.

After observing for a bit, he found they weren't very close.

In that case, he might as well go find them. He had some questions he wanted to ask them anyway.

"Trying to scam me? Want me to turn you into roast lamb?" Su Wu picked up the lamb that had staged the accident and dangled it, speaking with a hint of malicious amusement.

The lamb seemed not to understand human language, bleating.

Su Wu dangled it as he headed towards the location of the two non-humans.
