Thirty-one candidates passed the first half of the second phase.
Excluding Moyu, the actual number of candidates who passed was thirty.
Inside the warehouse.
Moyu put Netero's mask back on and stood near the edge.
The other candidates stood before Menchi and Buhara. Only Killua and the others were relatively close to Moyu.
However, after returning to the warehouse, Killua and the others did not take the initiative to speak with Moyu.
The reason was that Kurapika had guessed Moyu was very likely a hidden examiner responsible for this Hunter Exam.
The basis for that deduction was simple—
They already knew Moyu's identity. What other reason could a one-star Professional Hunter have for participating in the Hunter Exam besides serving as an examiner?
Therefore, before the second phase ended, Kurapika suggested they should avoid getting too close to Moyu for the time being. It might affect the credibility of the final test.
Menchi stepped past Buhara and came before the candidates.
"Let me make this clear first: I'm not as easygoing as Buhara, so you'd better prepare yourselves."
As she spoke, Menchi placed one hand on her hip and lightly pressed the thumb of her other hand against her chin, wearing a thoughtful expression.
The candidates present nearly all felt their hearts skip a beat at the sight of Menchi's expression.
Could this female examiner possibly not have decided on the question yet...?!
They all guessed the same thing.
And they were right. Menchi really had not prepared a question in advance.
"Hmm..."
Menchi pondered. She had initially thought of using hand-pressed sushi as the question, but there were no sea fish here. If she gave that question rashly, it might put her master in a difficult position.
That would not do!
Just as Netero had said of Professional Hunters
