The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

After a brief encounter with Kurapika and Leorio, there was no further conversation.

Meanwhile, as they continued forward, they soon reached the exit of the tunnel.

Outside the tunnel was a forest shrouded in dense fog.

Examiner Satotz stopped running after coming out of the tunnel. When the candidates who followed him saw this scene, they either rested on the spot or cautiously observed the forest in front of them.

Bailang and Pengsi also surveyed the situation of the forest after coming out of the tunnel.

"Langge, Pengsi, you're a bit slow!"

Killua, who was the first to come out of the tunnel, noticed Bailang and Pengsi and walked over without much thought.

After greeting them, Killua belatedly noticed Gon, who was beside him, and introduced him, saying, "By the way, let me introduce you. His name is Gon, my... friend I just met!"

As he continued the introduction, Killua paused for a moment, then quickly continued.

Gon couldn't help but turn his head to look at Killua.

"It seems like I was overthinking it. Killua has indeed become my friend!" Gon thought happily.

"It's not like there's a reward for being in the front. What's the big deal if we're a bit slow?"

Bailang first said this to Killua, then looked at Gon and nodded, saying, "Hello, I'm Bailang. Since you're Little White's friend, you can call me Langge from now on."

"I'm Pengsi. You can just call me by my name."

When Pengsi caught up with Bailang and looked at Gon, she also briefly introduced herself.

"Hello, Lang... Langge, and Pengsi!" Gon's attention shifted from his best friend, and upon hearing Bailang and Pengsi's introductions, he quickly bowed in a half salute.

Um... how should I put it, it feels like meeting the parents as a prospective son-in-law.

"Gon!!"

Someone approached from the side, it was Kurapika and Leorio.

The two of them first greeted Gon, then looked at Bailang and Pengsi together.

"Mr. Bailang, Miss Pengsi, we forgot to introduce ourselves earlier. I'm Kurapika!"

"I'm Leorio!"

Kurapika naturally heard Bailang's introduction earlier, so he also introduced himself.

Afterwards, still shirtless and panting, Leorio followed suit.

Bailang and Pengsi nodded slightly in response to the introductions.

Rumble...

Before the group could continue their conversation, the exit of the tunnel slowly closed with a loud noise, trapping a struggling candidate inside. He was about to come out, but the falling iron door kept him inside, causing him to let out a desperate cry.

This scene fully demonstrated the harshness of the Hunter exam.

Even if it was just a small difference, just a little bit, it would result in elimination without any mercy.

"Everyone, this place is called the Shimei Le Wetlands, also known as the Nest of Tricksters. It is the only way to the second test venue."

"Many of the strange creatures unique to the Shimei Le Wetlands are cunning and greedy beings that even deceive humans in order to find food. So please be careful and follow closely behind me. If you get deceived, it's your own fault if you die!"

With the closing of the tunnel, Satotz, who was in front of the candidates, spoke up.

His opening words immediately caught the attention of the candidates, and upon hearing Satotz's description, many of them became nervous, their gazes quickly scanning the nearby forest with vigilance and apprehension.

"The creatures in this wetland use various methods to deceive their prey and take advantage of the opportunity to eat them."

"Deceiving their prey and then eating them, this is how the ecosystem of these creatures came to be known as the Nest of Deceivers. Be careful not to be fooled and follow closely behind me!"

Seeing the candidates' reactions, Satotz casually glanced at the wall next to the tunnel exit, then calmly issued another reminder.

"Tsk~! This is too ridiculous. If you know you'll be deceived, how could you possibly fall for it?" Because of Satotz's words, among those who were also attracted by them, Bailang and others, Leorio confidently spoke up.

Upon hearing this, others may not have paid much attention, but Bailang glanced at him sideways.

This guy really dares to say that, even though he's the type most easily deceived.

Looking at the bare-chested Leorio, Bailang felt as if he was seeing a seasoned general with flags behind him on a theater stage.

"Don't be fooled!"

Sure enough, just as Leorio had confidently expressed himself, a loud shout immediately rang out.

The candidates were startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw a heavily injured man walking out from the wall next to the tunnel, his face full of anger as he pointed at Satotz in the distance and shouted, "Don't let him fool you, he's not the examiner for the Hunter test, he's a fake. I am the real examiner."

"A fake?"

"What's going on?"

"........"

The sudden turn of events surprised the candidates.

Of course, if that was all, few would believe it.

But the injured man seemed to want to prove the truth of his words, and immediately pulled out a corpse from the wall.

The corpse was that of a slender-bodied ape, but it had a human face, and its appearance was very similar to Satotz's.

"Look at this, this is the Man-faced Ape that inhabits the Shimei Le Wetland."

"The Man-faced Apes love to eat fresh human flesh, but they have long limbs and are relatively weak, so they disguise themselves as humans and deceive them with their words—"

After showing the Man-faced Ape, the injured man became very excited and waved his hand to explain.

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking through the air, before the injured man could finish speaking, an invisible Nen bullet suddenly flew through the crowd, accurately hitting the injured man's forehead.

Plop!

The Nen bullet easily pierced through his head, and the impact caused blood and brain matter to spray from the bullet hole at the back of his head.

His body fell backward, his eyes wide open, looking like he couldn't accept his death.

"Alright, we've wasted enough time, so let's end this farce here!" Bailang calmly spoke, lowering his right hand that had shot the Nen bullet.

Chirp chirp!

Under the death of the injured man, the Man-faced Ape, who had just seemed dead, let out a scream and quickly jumped up from the ground, fleeing into the distance.

Swoosh!

A playing card shot out rapidly, instantly embedding itself in the back of the Man-faced Ape's head, causing it to fall to the ground, dead on the spot.
