Gon Freecss and Hisoka's first battle began!
The referee's whistle rang out across the arena.
Gon raised his fists and charged at Hisoka, unleashing a rapid series of punches.
Unfortunately, forget landing a hit-Gon couldn't even touch him.
He kept getting hit, but fortunately, none of the blows knocked him down.
Watching the scene in the ring, Cordis couldn't help closing his eyes.
He couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Cordis could tell that Hisoka was clearly holding back, but even so, Gon was still no match for him.
Then Hisoka punched Gon in the face, sending him flying to the edge of the ring.
"One point to Hisoka!"
It all happened too fast.
Even Cordis, who had kept his eyes closed, snapped them open.
Gasps rose from everyone in the audience.
After more than a dozen exchanges, Gon hadn't managed to gain the slightest advantage over Hisoka.
The wounds covering his body showed everyone just how difficult this match was.
"It's still too early for Gon."
Killua watched everything unfolding in the ring and murmured to himself.
He had misjudged Hisoka's strength, originally thinking there wasn't much difference between them.
But now, he could see that he couldn't compare to Hisoka at all.
If he faced Hisoka himself, he wouldn't fare much better than Gon was now.
Meanwhile, Gon was also growing anxious in the ring.
From the beginning until now, Hisoka hadn't moved a single step from his spot, nor had he displayed the strength he'd shown in their last battle.
That frustrated Gon immensely.
But it also made him realize that his strength apparently wasn't enough to make Hisoka get serious.
He had been focused solely on hitting him, which made his attacks far too easy to read.
*I really should mix in some feints. Maybe that would
