The strongest magician who started as a hunter.

Chapter 25 Meeting Nitero for the First Time

It's early morning,
The bean-faced man's voice came from the broadcast in the airship.

"Candidates, please note that the candidates whose numbers are called will be asked to go to the reception room on the second floor for an interview with the president."

"First, the interview will begin with Candidate No. 44, Mr. Hisoka."

"Candidates whose number is called must arrive at the designated location as soon as possible within half an hour."

"The notification is complete."

The sound of the broadcast echoed clearly in every corner of the airship, which naturally included the room where You was.

"Interview...?"

You rubbed his eyes and stood up from the bed in a daze. It took him a long time to understand the current situation.

After waking up a little, You simply washed and brushed his teeth, then took out a brand new bandage and covered his eyes. Then he opened the door and walked towards the reception room on the second floor as mentioned in the broadcast.

After all, he and Hisoka are the only candidates left in the airship now. When Hisoka's interview is over, he will naturally be the next one.

"I don't know what President Nitro wants to know through the interview...perhaps it has something to do with the final test."

After thinking anxiously, he quickly found the reception room on the second floor. He looked up and saw the familiar bean-faced man standing at the door.

The bean-faced man greeted You as he walked towards you:

"Good morning, candidate No. 672."

"Hello."

He responded with a sad smile. Although he always felt that the other party's name for him was a bit strange, he didn't say much.

The bean-faced man said politely: "You must have heard the content of the broadcast, so you came here in advance to wait for the interview, right?"

"That's right." You nodded and asked casually:

"Speaking of which, that guy Hisoka...how long has he been in there?"

"Hisso?"

The bean-faced man thought for a while and suddenly said:
"You mean...candidate No. 44. He has been in for more than ten minutes and should be out soon."

After saying that, Hisoka really opened the door and walked out. When he noticed the two people at the door, he paused briefly and glanced sideways at You who was standing at the door. The expectation and fighting spirit in his eyes were beyond words.

You didn't shy away from it. He waited until the other party turned around and left without looking back.

"..."

You stared at Hisoka's back in silence, and could vaguely feel that the other person was in a better mood today, not as cold and silent as the previous few days.

It seems to be because of the role of the talks.

At this moment, the bean-faced man said to You, who was still in a daze, "You can go in."

"Although you probably haven't met President Netero yet, he is a very gentle person, so don't feel too burdened.

When faced with questions, just answer truthfully. This interview will not determine the assessment score. "

"Yeah." You nodded.

Immediately he opened the door and walked into the reception room. He looked up and saw an old man with a kind face sitting at a tea table, with a calligraphy and painting with the word "heart" printed behind him.

Nitro briefly glanced at the person who came, and after sizing him up, he spoke in a calm tone:

"Please sit down."

After hearing this, Worry sat down on the cushion in front of Netero with an upright attitude.

Looking at the figure in front of me, it quickly overlapped with the image of the president who worried about his memory.

This was the first time he saw Nitro alive with his own eyes.

It is inevitable that I will be a little excited.

"Candidate No. 672, five excellent..."

Nitro scratched his non-existent hair, glanced at the information briefly, moved his gaze back to You's face, and said:
"Next, I need to ask you a few questions as a reference for the final test... If possible, please answer them truthfully."

"First of all, the first question is, who is the most impressive person among the candidates for this hunter exam?"

Hearing this, You almost didn't think twice before replying:
"No. 44, Hisoka."

"Oh? What's the reason..." Nitro was a little curious. "Because that guy is dangerous, but also very strong, and his temperament is different... basically anyone who sees him will care about him." You explained.

"I see." Nitro nodded thoughtfully: "Then the next question."

"For the remaining candidate No. 44, what do you think are the other party's advantages?"

You know Xisuo well, so after thinking about it, Jian Da quickly gave the answer:

"I think... Hisoka's biggest advantage should be his use and understanding of his 'own abilities'.

Also, his physical fitness and fighting skills are much better than mine. If we just compete in physical combat, I should not be able to defeat him. "

After hearing this, Nitro understood that the 'ability' you mentioned was the 'ability to read'.

After briefly recording, he then asked:

"The last question, what do you think your own strengths are?"

This question stuck in You's throat. After all, it involved many of his trump cards. He had to think carefully about what he could say and what he couldn't say.

You prevaricated: "My advantage... should be that I have seen Hisoka's 'ability', but he has not seen my 'ability' yet. Maybe I will have the opportunity to catch him off guard later."

You didn't tell the truth, but as he spoke... his mind thought of the black cat mind beast that could only alternate between 'eating' and 'sleeping', and the thoughts in his mind were completely inconsistent with the description in his mouth.

"Is the intelligence bad..." Nitro said lightly, remembering the scene he had seen in the third round of assessment, and he couldn't help but wonder what Worry's telekinesis ability was.

And how to avoid his detection, so that he can't tell the type of telekinesis ability at all.

After Nitro lowered his head to confirm that the recorded content was correct, he then said kindly:
"Thank you for your hard work. The interview is over and you can go out."

……

The conversation was easier than expected.

You opened the door and looked up to see the bean-faced man who had been waiting here.

After seeing you walking out of the room, the bean-faced man said:

"After the interview, you can go back to the room to rest."

"In the next two days, the president allows the candidates to move around freely in the airship. I will also make an announcement on the radio one hour before arriving at the examination location. Please be extremely careful and don't miss the final examination time. .”

"Then I'll take my leave."

Just as the bean-faced man was about to leave, You asked him from behind:

"Is there...a room similar to a training room in this airship? If possible, I would like to borrow a spacious place to improve my condition..."

"There is a training room dedicated to the president, but if you want to use it, you still have to obtain the consent of the president himself. I am just a secretary and cannot make any decisions..."

Before the bean-faced man finished speaking, the door opened and Nitro's words came from the side:

"If you want to borrow my training room... as long as you don't make a mess inside, you can use it if you want."

By chance, when Nitro pushed the door out of the reception room and walked out, he happened to hear You's appeal and agreed casually.

"The training room is in the middle of the first floor. The material and size of the door are different from ordinary rooms. You should find it easily..."

"I still have something to do. If you really can't find it, just ask the bean-faced man to take you there. I believe he will be happy to lead you."

After Nitro finished speaking, he waved his hands and turned to leave.

After receiving the president's permission, the bean-faced man also took the initiative and said: "Then let me take you there."

"Thank you." You thanked him simply.

……

After collecting the ideas of Hisoka and You, Nitro sat alone in the room and soon decided on the rules for the final assessment.

"Determining the outcome by scoring... I think it's quite interesting."

Nitro wrote the rules he made on paper, then summoned the examiners and announced his ideas.

Surprisingly... this rule was unanimously recognized by several examiners.
