Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 11: One thing I learned from my short life as a killer
The next morning, Germain woke up in the soft velvet bed. He went straight to the bathroom to wash up, and then went to the balcony outside to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.

In last night's battle, the "Gift of Resentment" allowed him to gain another "attribute point" and forcibly increase his "spiritual vision pressure" by 1 point.

He continued to add attribute points to "vitality constitution".

"Vigorous constitution: 12"

"Endurance: 12"

"Vision Pressure: 13"

German is very satisfied that he can see his changes and progress in certain aspects through the data.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

German had to stop enjoying his alone time and walked slowly to open the door. It was Biscuit standing outside.

Biscuit extended his right hand wearing a white glove to Germain and said with a smile: "Dine with me."

"it is good."

Thanks to Biscuit, Germain was able to live in this sea view room and have a hearty breakfast for free. He was not averse to Biscuit's small request.

He took Biscuit's hand and walked with her to the restaurant of the luxurious hotel.

They walked hand in hand into the magnificent restaurant. There were already quite a few people in the restaurant, looking at this good-looking brother and sister with curiosity.

Biscuit originally wanted to show the demeanor of a gentleman and a lady to outsiders, but in reality it made people feel more like a silent brother bringing his spoiled sister to dine.

Soon, breakfast was served.

It was quite incredible that German killed four killers last night with a musket in one hand and a meat saw in the other, but now he was cutting bread slices with a fork in one hand and a knife in the other.

Biscuit took a sip of coffee before starting the conversation.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah. Thank you. I slept well." German answered truthfully.

"That's good." Biscuit put his hands on the table, looking obedient, and said, "To be honest, I feel more and more that you are different from the intelligence and rumors."

German picked up a small tomato with a fork, put it in his mouth, and said calmly: "I just want to make a change."

"Change?" Biscuit asked curiously, holding her cheeks with both hands, like a little girl listening to a story, "Why do you want to change? What do you want to change?"

"My short career as a killer over the past few years has taught me one thing," German explained. "A killer's life has its limits. I can't live just to kill people. That's too boring."

"Boring?" Biscuit took another sip of coffee.

"It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to feel pleasure from simply killing people," German said half-seriously. "This is just a job. People can't live just for work."

Biscuit nodded: "That makes sense. Then what?"

"I thought joining the Phantom Troupe would be different. But after actually interacting with them that night, I felt that they only lived for Meteor City, which was also boring."

Only a few people knew about the Phantom Troupe's past, and Biscuit had not deliberately investigated it. It was only at this time that he found out that this group of people came from Meteor City, but he was not very surprised.

While admiring the handsome face across the table, Biscuit roughly understood what Germain meant.

"You want to seek novelty and excitement while satisfying your life needs, and you don't want to be bound by an organization or a group of people. That's what you mean, right?"

German finished the last strip of bacon, wiped the corner of his mouth with his napkin, and looked up: "You summed it up very well."

Biscuit laughed: "Then I know exactly what you are looking for."

She reached into her bosom and searched for a while, then found a hard card and handed it to German: "This is a hunter's license. It's obviously what you want." German saw the "double X" mark of the Hunter Association on it.

Biscuit put away the hunter's license.

She paused and continued, "Let's not talk about what kind of hunter you want to be for now. But a hunter license will bring you great convenience in the life you need."

"A hunter's license can give you the best privileges. Wealth, fame, status, freedom, and so on."

"Most importantly, no matter who you were in the past, it will not prevent you from obtaining a hunter's license, and it will not be revoked for any reason later."

Germann was well aware of this.

The Phantom Troupe's Knight, Hisoka, Illumi and Killua of the Zoldyck family, and other people from the dark world have all obtained hunter licenses.

No one will investigate their identities in advance and prevent them from taking the exam, nor will they be deprived of their hunting licenses because of their identities.

This is because "Hunter's Ten Rules No. 3" clearly stipulates that -

"Anyone who has a hunter's license will not have it revoked for any reason, and the license will not be reissued for any reason."

However, the Hunter Association will not allow hunters to do whatever they want with their hunter licenses, so there is also the "Four of the Ten Hunter Rules".

"A hunter may not treat his fellow hunters as prey, but hunters who commit heinous crimes are not protected by this provision."

There are some other minor details besides the "Hunter's Ten Rules", which I will not go into detail here.

German saw with his own eyes how Biscuit used the hunter's license to obtain intelligence, communications, accommodation and other benefits, and also handled the follow-up of the four killers. He had long wanted to get one.

At the same time, he was also interested in the hunter examination organized by the Hunter Association.

Because this hunter exam mode is too similar to the guide and gatekeeper mode for entering the Dark Continent.

Human beings came from the Dark Continent to live in the present world, but they have never completely given up the idea of ​​returning to the Dark Continent. They have only temporarily put it on hold for various reasons.

Does this format of the Hunter Exam mean that the Hunter Association is trying to let every candidate rehearse the role of guide and gatekeeper into the Dark Continent in advance?

"Next year's exam will be on January 1, and the registration deadline is December 7 at the end of this year."

Biscuit blinked his big eyes and looked at German who was obviously moved.

"If you want to take part, I can help you. Although the examination location changes every year, I can know where it is held in advance and get you directly to the examination room."

Germain asked in confusion, "Isn't this cheating? Won't it affect you?"

"Of course not." Biscuit smiled, "I just acted as a guide, bringing potential candidates to the examination room. Do you think the Hunter Association is a very conservative group of people?"

"You are very proficient in Nen and have strong on-the-spot combat capabilities. As long as you don't break the rules, you will have no problem passing the Hunter Exam."

"With a hunter's license, you will be able to obtain more intelligence and resources, which will make up for your current shortcomings and allow you to completely let go."

Germain pondered for a while, looked at the girl with blond hair and twin ponytails opposite him, and asked again: "Why?"

"Why?" Biscuit tilted his head in confusion.

"Why are you trying to persuade me to take the Hunter's License? Aren't you worried that I'll use it to commit crimes after I get it?"

Biscuit shook his head and replied:
"First, you will take the Hunter Exam sooner or later. Second, 'Hunter' is a neutral word, not related to good or evil, right or wrong. Finally..."

"You said it yourself, 'It's impossible to live just to kill people. It's too boring.' Once you have that thought, you can never go back to your previous life."

German thought about it and he had to admit that it was true. Once he had a lantern that could travel back and forth to the Dark Continent at any time, it would be difficult to limit his vision to the present world and life.
