He had not only set rules that heavily favored the examinees, but had also gone as easy on them as possible...
Yet even a Shadow Clone at one-third strength was not something Killua and the others could easily overcome.
Let alone a Shadow Clone at two-thirds strength, or Moyu himself.
Only after taking part did these examinees truly grasp how difficult the third phase was.
It was too hard!
But—
Even as they came to understand its extraordinary difficulty, they could still see the key to passing hanging above their heads.
They had so many chances to try that, as long as they kept leaping for it, surely they would eventually reach the key suspended before them.
In other words...
Persistence meant victory!
That was right.
Moyu was human too. Under those rules, he could not possibly stay in peak condition forever.
Their advantages lay in their numbers and the fact that they did not have to worry about injuries.
So the secret to passing was...
To keep persevering and increase the frequency of their attacks until Moyu's condition began to deteriorate.
The examinees, who had collapsed from exhaustion after their prolonged, fruitless assaults, soon realized this.
They were not the only ones who would get tired. Moyu would too!
Similar scenes unfolded in two separate locations.
The members of Kurapika's team and Killua's team had collapsed from exhaustion. With no need to worry about the Shadow Clones attacking them, they simply lay on the ground to recover their strength.
The Shadow Clones merely watched them quietly, transmitting live images to Moyu through Vision Sharing.
"One day doesn't seem like enough."
Moyu studied the crescent moon deep within his consciousness.
To "charge" it into a full moon, he would have to make these examinees suffer for at least two days
