Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 336: Each Person's Goal in the Sky Arena
The next morning, in the noisy audience seats on the 200th floor of the "Sky Arena".

German, Xiaodi and their group occupied an entire row of seats in the audience and watched the game under the introduction of Yun Gu, the current head teacher of the Xinyuan School.

As for the host's emotional roar and the cheers of the surrounding audience, they were automatically blocked out by them.

The teacher that German is looking for for Killua and Gon is of course the warm-hearted and patient Ungu. There is indeed no more suitable candidate than him at the moment.

The one currently participating in the competition on the 200th floor arena is naturally Yun Gu’s disciple, Zhixi.

The boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who is about the same age as Killua and Gon, is struggling on the arena.

However, Killua and Gon had no intention of underestimating Tomoki. Instead, they keenly noticed that Tomoki's fighting power and resilience were extraordinary.

Perhaps, that is the "psychic ability" that Germain mentioned.

Killua and Gon both easily accepted that "Nen ability" is real.

Especially Killua, who has learned wonderful skills such as "limb bending", "snake movement", and "dark step", and is very receptive to possessing higher-level abilities.

Even so, they were secretly surprised when they saw the fierce attack and defense between Zhixi and his opponent.

Experts like German, Xiaodi, Yungu and Kurapika saw much more than what Killua and Gon saw.

Yun Gu adjusted his glasses and looked at the tense battle situation on the field with a distressed expression.

"Last year when you went to the Kakin Empire, I took the Kurapika clan's red eyes and brought Zhixi to the Sky Arena."

"After half a year of hard work and practice, Zhixi has made a major breakthrough in his "Nen ability" compared to when he was in the mansion."

"This allowed him to reach the 200th floor fairly smoothly, but after that, he got stuck here."

"After the 200th floor, Zhixi's opponents are all "Nen users". If he hadn't learned "Nen" in advance, he would probably be injured in the battle here."

"Even with all the preparations, Zhixi has only won one and lost two here. He still has a long way to go before he can become a "layer master."

When Killua heard Yun Gu's words, he couldn't help but glance over.

The "Floor Master" is a "Sky Arena Master" who occupies a single floor above the 230th floor and possesses unquestionable strength and reputation.

Originally, Kuroro and Hisoka would both become the "layer masters" here, and then they would engage in a life-and-death battle, but this is definitely impossible to happen now.

If you want to challenge and replace the "floor master" of a certain floor, you must first win 200 games above the 10th floor before you are eligible.

However, if you have lost 4 games, then you will lose the qualification to challenge and all your records will have to be calculated from the beginning.

Zhixi had a record of one win and two losses above the 200th floor, which was not a very good start.

However, Killua had no intention of mocking Tomoki.

Although he could not truly understand what "Psychic Power" was, he could see that Zhixi and his opponent on the field were stronger than him.

Zhixi can only win one and lose two here, so let’s not talk about myself and Xiaojie now.

Killua muttered secretly. He didn't expect that the 200th floor, where he didn't continue to fight a few years ago, would be such a terrifying and dangerous place. He underestimated the "Sky Arena".

Xiao Jie also frowned based on his wild intuition.

Kurapika was relatively relaxed.

He had experienced many life-and-death battles of higher intensity than the one he was facing now, so of course he was not afraid of this kind of competitive battle.

However, he was a cautious person and did not express any opinions. He just silently estimated whether he could become the "layer master" in his heart.

Compared to them, Xiaodi seemed much more excited.

Although there was no expression on her face, the fact that she was holding the betting ticket tightly in her hand said it all.

The situation on the scene was not favorable to Zhixi. Xiaodi began to believe in God at this time. She picked up the inverted cross hanging around her neck and prayed softly.

Then she turned her head, adjusted her heavy-looking black-framed glasses, and muttered into German's ear.

"It looks like Zhixi is about to lose. If I switch a few bets to his opponent now, will it be too late?"

Yun Gu sat on the other side of Germain and adjusted his glasses with his index finger, somewhat awkwardly.

Xiaodi, as Teacher Zhixi, I am still here. Is it really appropriate for you to talk like this?

Germann, who had not yet eliminated his "negative trait: poor gambling skills", answered without any hesitation.

"It's too late. The dealer will definitely not let you place a bet now." "Then I'm doomed to lose, right?"

"Not necessarily. Zhixi still has a chance. It doesn't matter even if he loses. You are not short of money now."

"Hmm... that's right... OK, whatever."

Yun Gu couldn't help but cough lightly a few times while listening to these conversations.

I'm still here, can't you see me?

There were indeed some twists and turns later on.

Zhixi defeated his opponent by accumulating points, which is called "TKO (technical knockout)".

After the game, Zhixi, with bruises all over his face, happily ran to the corridor on the 200th floor and found Teacher Yun Gu and Mr. German.

"I won, Mr. Yungu, Mr. Germain, Ms. Xiaodi, Kurapika, I won!"

Zhixi has been under a lot of pressure recently. Now his record is two wins and two losses. He is like a drowning person who floats to the surface briefly to take a breath.

For the next 90 days, he will be in a "protection period" and will not have to participate in any competitions, which means he can use these 90 days to heal his injuries and accumulate strength.

As long as he makes good use of these 90 days, Zhixi is confident of winning the next game.

To his surprise, the first person to respond to his joy and pride was Xiaodi.

Xiaodi patted Zhixi's head gently, nodded in approval, and then retracted her hand.

"Well done."

Zhixi looked at Xiaodi in some confusion. He remembered that he and Xiaodi were not very familiar with each other. How could she be the first one to praise him?
But no matter what, Zhixi bowed politely to express his gratitude.

After Yun Gu tucked the restless corner of his clothes back into his trousers, he encouraged Zhixi with a smile, telling him not to feel stressed in the future.

Then he made way and introduced Zhixi to the others.

"Toshiki, you know Kurapika, so I don't need to introduce him. These two are Killua and Gon, they are close to your age."

"Next, Kurapika, Killua, and Gon will stay with us in the Sky Arena. Killua and Gon will receive Nen training with you."

"Although they are young, they have already obtained their 'hunter's licenses' this year and are now 'professional hunters'."

Tomoki, Killua and Gon stared at each other for a while. He was very surprised to hear this, and after he realized what was happening, he bowed to them very hard.

"I'm Zhixi! I'm working hard to become the "Sky Arena Floor Master". At the same time, I'm also preparing to take part in the "Professional Hunter Examination" next year. Please give me your guidance!"

Killua and Gon looked at each other, and quickly followed suit, bowing, and then introduced themselves.

"I'm Killua (I'm Gon), please give me your guidance!"

Germann planned to leave Kurapika, Killua and Gon in the "Sky Arena" and let Yun Gu look after them, and gave them their respective tasks.

Yun Gu also agreed immediately.

As long as Kurapika can become the "Sky Arena Floor Master", he can return to "Greed Island" and participate in the "Dark Continent Affairs" with Melody.

Killua and Gon are relatively more relaxed. They must first learn the "basics of Nen ability" here and pass the "real final stage" of the "Professional Hunter Exam".

Afterwards, if they can become a "layer master", they can also go directly to the "Greed Island", but they go there to become one of the players and continue to level up.

In addition, even if they do not become "floor masters", as long as Killua and Gon can achieve three wins on the 200th floor, they can leave and look for clues to the "Greed Island" on their own.

Yun Gu adjusted his glare-filled glasses and shook his head silently as he watched Zhixi quickly become friends with Killua and Gon.

According to his judgment, Kurapika, Killua, and Gon were all geniuses among geniuses specially selected by German.

The fact that Kurapika's talent is now being realized is proof of this.

Yun Gu is happy to be their mentor and is also happy for Zhixi.

Although Killua and Gon are starting to learn "Nen" from now on, since they can be sent here by German personally, their aptitude must be no worse than Kurapika.

When Killua and Gon, who have been lagging behind for more than half a year, show signs of catching up, Tomoki, you must withstand this pressure, don't be afraid, and let your efforts and sweat bear fruit.
