A Luo learned the results of the Hunter Exam's Final Trial three days later.
She received a call from Ponzu.
Just as she had hoped, Ponzu had passed and become one of this year's Hunters.
What A Luo hadn't expected, however, was that Ponzu hadn't faced Hisoka or fought Gittarackur at all.
For some reason, Netero had placed her last in the lineup.
After the other nine finished their matches, the final loser would fight Ponzu.
A Luo's eyes widened.
"Huh?"
Ponzu sounded deeply troubled.
"A Luo, you know that kid named Killua, number 99, right? I don't know why, but he suddenly lost control during the Final Trial and killed Bodoro. That let everyone else pass and become Hunters."
"What's going on with him? What happened? Can you get in touch with him?"
A Luo was dumbfounded.
Why?
I'd already warned Killua, so why did things still turn out this way?
Did I underestimate the influence of the Nen Needle Illumi stuck in Killua's head?
A Luo hurriedly called Killua, but no one answered.
Didn't I tell him everything Illumi said was bullshit? How did he still get brainwashed by those words, give up on himself, and go back to the Zoldyck Family?!
Right, there was Gon, too.
How was Gon doing now? Had he woken up? Was he going to the Zoldyck Family to find Killua?
After a moment's hesitation, A Luo called a certain assassin.
"Illumi, where are you?"
Illumi glanced at Hisoka beside him, then turned his gaze to the spiky-haired boy walking away from him toward his friends.
"Oh! A Luo, I'm still at the hotel owned by the Hunter Association. I just finished Beans's orientation on being a Hunter, and I'm about to go handle the job I accepted before coming here."
