Will Scissors X [Shu]'s Idea

Zoldyck?

Botobai, hidden beneath his Peking Opera mask, furrowed slightly, and he let out a snort, exhaling two long streams of gas from his nostrils. "Too bad it's not Silva Zoldyck."

He had heard of this man's name before and had seen him on several occasions, but unfortunately, he had never had the chance to fight him, which he regretted.

Although... Seeing his straightforward manner, the Beans, remembering that someone was still drinking tea in the president's office, couldn't help but tiptoe and whisper a reminder: "Although the president said you don't need to hold back, he didn't really mean you have to kill him. After all, it's a test, and the assessment should take precedence."

"I know that perfectly well," Botobai said, unwilling to elaborate, clearly having his own plans.

The Beans conveyed his message and gave all the necessary reminders. If anything really happened... well, the chairman would cover for him. He waved goodbye to the two men and left the underground passage.

The elevator doors closed.

Gell tossed a test tube to Botobai: "Collect some Zoldyck blood for me later."

She'd heard that family was immune to all poisons; she wanted to see if they were really that powerful.

"Smack!" The test tube was smashed by a "Supersonic Fist," Botobai said in a deep voice, "Do it yourself."

Gell:

"

"

I'm furious.

She cursed herself inwardly for partnering with this straightforward blockhead.

The woman turned her face away and went to study pharmacy.

Soon after, night fell.

After a flight of more than two hours, the Kiriko father and Gotoh's group finally arrived at Zaban City, the venue for the official event, before 11 p. m... The first thing they saw was a magnificent palace.

A flock of white doves flapped their wings and flew over the palace...

Kurajing, who had lived in the remote Kurta Clan village for most of her life, had never seen such a spectacle before. She thought to herself with awe, "No wonder it's the Hunter Association; they can pull off such a grand display for a single test."

Unexpectedly, the Kiriko father pointed to a somewhat shabby barbecue restaurant tucked away in a corner next to the palace, reached into his pocket, and respectfully handed over three number plates. "Your Excellency, this barbecue restaurant next door is the official entrance to the venue."

"Turn left after entering and take the elevator down to the basement. That will take you to the examination room. Here are your and those two people's candidate numbers."

Finally, he wanted to add, "Your Excellency, I would be happy to guide you next year as well."

Upon further reflection, given Roy's and the person above him's level, how could they possibly fail this year's test? He promptly shut his mouth and swallowed those words to avoid making a fool of himself.

Kurajing was a little dumbfounded. She blankly took the number plate from the Gotoh, not expecting that she would mistake the Zaban City Hall for the official venue of the Hunter Exam. Coming to her senses, she awkwardly brushed the hair that fell beside her crystal earlobe, flipped open the number plate and looked at it. It was number 407. She then put it close to her body and put it away.

According to the official schedule, the exam will officially begin at 2 PM tomorrow.

I definitely need to find a place to stay tonight; I can take it out and wear it tomorrow.

"Then I won't disturb your midnight snack." Roy patted his Kiriko father on the shoulder, nodded to his Kiriko son, instructed Gotoh to put away the number tag, and went to check into a nearby inn. Under the dazed gazes of the father and son, he saw them off...

They walked unhurriedly towards the inn with Kurajing in tow.

In the blink of an eye, the three pushed open the revolving door and disappeared.

The Kiriko son tilted his head and looked at his Kiriko father, saying, "Father, how did he know that every time we come to Zaban City, we always go to the barbecue restaurant for steak?"

The Kiriko father was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "So he is the real god."

God loves the world, so how could He not know what the world desires?

The Kiriko father turned around, pushed open the door of the barbecue restaurant, and shouted inside, "Boss, one steak set meal, slow-cooked, medium-rare..."

"

"Huh? Father, what about my share?"

"Who cares about you!"

"No... I don't have any money..."

"

Zaban City is bustling and noisy tonight.

After checking in, Gotoh inspected the room as usual. Just then, Kurajing Gate of Opening and poked her head in, saying, "Young Master, please call me if you need anything."

Before Roy could respond, Gotoh slammed the door shut, leaving him outside.

"Unrequited love." This is Gotoh's assessment of Kurajing.

After washing up, Roy pressed Golden Crow down as it splashed around in the bathtub a few times, only to have its head poked by Jinwu in dissatisfaction. He then turned to Gotoh and said, "You should go and rest too."

The Sun-Earring Boy patted the Golden Crow, letting it hold one of his fingers in its mouth, and explained with a smile, "Little Gold Crow and I are of one mind."

"It will remind me if anything happens. On the contrary, you... have been adrift at sea with me for more than ten days without a full night's sleep. Take advantage of tonight to get a good night's sleep."

"Young Master, I'm not sleepy," Gotoh said, yawning.

"Go out."

"Yes."

The door opened and then closed.

Gotoh stood sullenly outside the door, turned his head and saw the girl leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. He glared at her and said irritably, "What are you looking at?"

Kurajing smiled without saying a word. After a while, she turned and left, saying, "I just wanted to remind you that the Young Master doesn't belong to you alone, that's all."

"Bang!" The door slammed shut.

The empty corridor was now empty except for Gotoh, who stood silently, lost in thought...

A moment later, he pushed up his glasses and snorted coldly, "Anyway, it's not yours."

I went downstairs and booked another room, right next to Roy's. Gate of Opening and went inside.

At 11 p. m., the Zaban City gradually went out. Apart from a few night markets, the entire city seemed to have been muted, gradually falling Shizune.

Roy turned on the bedside lamp, and by its light, he lay half-reclined on the bed, letting Golden Crow roll around on the soft mattress. He opened his grandfather Jager's notebook, turned to the page about Zhou's training, and began to read it carefully.

After his battle with Giyu Tomioka, Roy knew it was time for him to leave.

Rushing to Mount Fujikasane, killing the Hand Demon, avenging his fellow disciples, and fulfilling their wishes... this was the first battle Roy set for himself after completing his apprenticeship.

Perhaps anticipating something, Roy had noticed early on that Makomo's emotions were a bit off. She would often stare blankly at him, and sometimes she would gaze at her master Urokodaki Sakonji day. It seemed she knew... that at the moment the Hand Demon died, these spirits, whether willingly or unwillingly, lost the power of their "resentment"...

It will dissipate soon.

Therefore, he was depressed.

Perhaps someone as magnanimous as Brother Seito, or as carefree as Shinsuke and Brother Fukuda, wouldn't care much about disappearing.

But for sensitive senior sisters like Zhen Gu Yagiku, it might not be so easy for them. This has nothing to do with anything else, it's simply because... they can't bear to part with them...

He couldn't bear to Mount Sagiri, he couldn't bear to leave his fellow disciples, he couldn't bear to Urokodaki Sakonji, and perhaps, also... his junior brother.

Therefore, it's also possible that Roy is planning to give his senior brothers and sisters a surprise...

Learning from [Zhou], they plated [Chan] onto the jar, making it a substitute for the Hand Demon, a vessel for the fellow disciples to continue to reside in.

The "Will Scissors Technique" involves imagining and creating a pair of "Will Scissors" to sever the "Nen Qi" bond between the body and objects, thus allowing the "Nen Qi" to remain intact even after leaving the body. [Zhou]

"Will Scissors"... that does fit well with the training methods of the "Conjuration" school. Roy thought of his grandfather Jager's Nen Ability [re: The Game of the Dead], which also seemed to be related to the "Conjuration" school...

I calmed myself down and continued reading... Gradually, drowsiness crept in, my head tilted to the side, and I drifted off to sleep without realizing it...

"Caw~" The Golden Crow hopped and skipped, kicking against his neck, flapping its wings, and laboriously climbed onto his head to nestle, only its two golden eyes peeking out...

Soon, soft snoring could be heard...

Roy, still somewhat dazed, passed through the colorful Dream Passage and arrived at the familiar Sea of Cognition. This time, he sprawled out on the soft sand, lying there for a while to replenish the energy depleted by manifesting Little Gold, before finally reaching out to push open the gate to Demon Slayer.

I've arrived in the world of Demon Slayer.

At dawn, several sparrows were chirping and twittering on the eaves.

The fresh air of early spring blew into the room through a corner of the paper window that was lifted. Roy opened his eyes again, and what he saw... was a circle of "dark circles" around him!

"Eiichiro, you're finally awake!"

"Your knife grew legs and flew away last night, did you know that?"
