The next day, the deadline for the fourth test was fast approaching.
After hearing the announcement, the candidates who had successfully collected six points' worth of Number Plates emerged from the forest one after another.
The main quartet went without saying.
The others were Hisoka, Illumi-disguised as Gittarackur once again-Pokkle, Hanzo, Bodoro, and Ponzu.
Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio all widened their eyes in surprise.
Why was Ponzu here?
Without her own three-point Number Plate, she only had Bapeng's three points left. How could Ponzu have passed?
Miss A Luo was the one who had collected six points!
Gon even asked her outright.
"Ponzu, where's A Luo? Why haven't we seen her?"
Looking at the kid in front of her, Ponzu immediately recalled how he had tricked her into bringing out her sleeping gas.
Hadn't he said he would give her Bapeng's Number Plate?
He had given her Bapeng's Number Plate, all right, but he had taken hers away.
Ponzu still remembered how she had felt when she woke before dawn and learned that cruel truth!
It was all this brat's fault!
If he hadn't pulled that little trick, she could have passed on her own. A Luo wouldn't have needed to make such a sacrifice.
Ponzu shot Gon a fierce glare, then turned her head away, refusing to answer his question.
Gon scratched his head. "..."
Seeing her reaction, Kurapika began to suspect something.
But surely not!
After coming to take the Hunter Exam and struggling all the way to this point, who could bear to hand their hard-earned chance of passing over to someone else?
When the staff checked Ponzu's Number Plates, the others saw the familiar numbers on the plates in her hand.
Their suspicions were confirmed.
Number 103, Number 42, Number 80, and Number 197.
Number 103
