Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 27 Obtaining a Hunter's License
After taking a refreshing bath and drying his messy black hair with a hair dryer, German lay down on the soft bed.

He rested his head on the pillow, making up for lost sleep.

It was eight o'clock in the morning on January 1th.

When the knock on the door woke German again, he looked up at the wall clock and confirmed that it was nine o'clock in the morning.

The airship had been flying for an hour.

German opened the door and saw a man with a white face and a suit standing outside.

He was already able to speak to Germain in a cordial tone.

"Mr. Germain, the president asked me to tell you that the airship is about to land."

"I see." Germain replied.

The bean-faced man bowed slightly and then left.

Another quarter of an hour later, the airship slowly landed on the helipad of the Hunter Association's branch in Sofa City.

German was almost the last one to get off the airship. He didn't like getting off the ship with so many people.

As soon as he walked down the ladder, he heard a quarrel not far away.

When German looked up, he saw Netero and the bean-faced man being stopped by a man and a woman.

The woman's long green hair was peculiarly styled, tied into five bunches, pointing in different directions.

The man was tall and fat, like a giant bear.

The young woman was shouting something.

Netero listened with a normal expression, nodding from time to time.

Instead, the bean-faced man and the man with the body of a giant bear stood aside with awkward expressions.

The hunters passing by all looked at the nose with their eyes and the heart with their noses, pretending that it had nothing to do with it and hurried away.

As Germain walked over, he heard the woman yelling.

"If Buhara and I were in charge of this year's exam, there would be no such mistakes. President, please trust Buhara and me!"

"Ah...I see...I understand what you mean. How should I put it? I will give you priority when it comes to the examiners for next year's exam."

Netero dug his cheek with his fingernails, but his eyes were fixed on the white clouds in the sky, looking guilty.

"President, you must be trying to stall us again..."

Young women still have to fight for their rights.

The man called Buhara saw German walking by and quickly grabbed the young woman.

"Menqi, stop talking, there are outsiders here."

Men Qi was stunned for a moment, then noticed German not far away, and then he calmed down a little.

"Buhala, this is not an outsider." Netero's eyes lit up and he corrected with a smile, "He is the only qualified candidate this time, Germain."

"he is the one?"

Menqi and Buhala were both a little surprised.

However, they soon realized that they should not judge a book by its cover, and it was not uncommon for handsome men to be powerful.

Netero waved to Germain, then said to the bean-faced man, "Bean-faced man, take Germain to rest first."

"Yes, President." The bean-faced man responded and walked towards German. "Mr. German, please follow me this way."

The bean-faced man led German into the Hunters Association branch.

It looks like a tower from the outside, but it has countless spikes sticking out, making it look like a porcupine.

Menqi watched German's back disappear.

She was stunned by this interruption, and when she turned back to look for Netero, she found that he had disappeared.

"Buhala, where is the president?" Men Qi asked in surprise.

Buhala touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"While you were observing Germann, the president quietly slipped away and made a quiet gesture to me..." "Ah? Buhala, how can you help the president and not me? We have been comrades for many years!"

While Menqi was complaining and feeling annoyed, German had been taken by the Bean-faced Man to the new room of the Hunter Association branch.

During this process, Doumianren also introduced the structure of the Hunter Association branch.

"…Outside your room is the back garden, which is usually taken care of by plant hunters. Now it is in full bloom."

The bean-faced man pointed outside the window with his short finger and began to introduce the people.

Germain listened patiently for a while.

The bean-faced man finally realized that German was not interested, so he said goodbye and left tactfully.

After spending two days at the Hunter Association branch, on the morning of January 1, German finally got his hunter license.

Doumianren introduced in detail the uses and precautions of a hunter's license.

First, a hunter's license cannot be forged or copied.

Second, a hunter's license allows the holder to enter most countries and regions in the world, including some restricted areas.

Third, a hunter's license can be sold or used as collateral, and the amount of money earned is astronomical.

Fourth, a hunter's license allows the holder to use most public facilities for free.

However, you still need to pay to obtain information on the hunter-only website.

Fifth, hunter licenses will not be reissued or replaced for any reason.

Next, there are the “Ten Hunter Rules” that every hunter should follow, which I will not go into detail here.

After the bean-faced man said all this to German, the only candidate who passed the 286th exam, he found that German's eyelids were drooping and he was about to fall asleep.

He could only look at Netero awkwardly.

Netero waved his long sleeves, walked over cheerfully, and said:
"From today on, Germain, you are an official hunter."

"Originally, apprentice hunters also have to learn 'Nen', but you definitely don't need it. I believe you have memorized the Hunter's License and the Hunter's Ten Rules."

"However, before you embark on your journey as a hunter, I still want to ask, 'A hunter must have a hunting goal.' What is your goal?"

Netero stared at Germain with his eyes shining brightly.

He had learned that this man was a member of the Dark World and the Phantom Troupe, and he was mentally prepared.

However, German did not mention the "hunting targets" that he imagined the Phantom Troupe members would say - money, treasure, killing, torture, etc.

"My 'hunting target' should be wild beasts, right?" German replied.

"Beast... I see." Netero quickly concealed the surprise in his eyes and nodded, "Beast hunter?"

"Ah."

German got his hunter's license, packed up, and prepared to leave.

He has been so idle these days that he is almost going moldy.

Netero saw what Germain was thinking and did not keep him. Instead, he encouraged him:
"I hope that when I see you again, you will have made great achievements in the field of beast hunters and be promoted to 'One-Star Hunter'."

Hunters have three levels of honor star rating, namely "one star", "two stars" and "three stars".

Men Qi, who appeared on the helipad before, is a one-star hunter.

And Biscuit is a two-star hunter.

Netero is a three-star hunter.

Although star rating does not represent strength, there are not many hunters in the world who can reach one, two, or three star ratings.

They are bound to make great contributions in many fields, and their strength is definitely not weak.

German just listened without making any comment.

He nodded, walked out of the Hunter Association branch, basked in the sunlight, and disappeared in a moment.
