The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

Bailang and Pengsi chatted casually, while in the nearby bushes, two pairs of eyes were closely observing them.

After a long time, the owners of these two pairs of eyes began to quietly leave...

"What should we do? It's already the fifth day, but we still haven't found an opportunity to make a move."

"Don't worry, we have already gathered enough points. Even if we don't have a chance to make a move, we don't need to worry about being eliminated from the test. So should we continue waiting?"

After retreating a kilometer away, Kurapika and Gon finally began to communicate with each other in peace.

Indeed, the two pairs of eyes that were hidden in the dark and observing Bailang and Pengsi were none other than Killua and Gon.

Gon's face was filled with distress and worry.

His target was Bailang's number 111.

Although they discovered Bailang almost on the same day because Bailang didn't hide his whereabouts at all, the problem was that simply discovering him was not enough. The key was to find an opportunity to snatch the badge.

Just like in the original work, Gon was well aware of the gap between himself and Hisoka. It was impossible for him to snatch the badge through a direct confrontation with Hisoka's 267. So he chose to wait for the right opportunity, hoping to seize it when Bailang wasn't paying attention.

But until now, on the fifth day, neither he nor Killua had been able to find a suitable opportunity.

Indeed, Bailang seemed to have no defenses against the outside world, and he diligently trained every day.

But his training never seemed to tire him, as if he was always full of energy.

This meant that if they were to snatch the badge at this moment, they would undoubtedly face Bailang's counterattack.

And when they rested at night, Pengsi would release the bees from her hat to act as guards around them.

At this time, if anyone approached, not only would the bees attack, but it would also alert Bailang.

For five whole days, although they had left at times to gather points just in case, they had never found a suitable opportunity. So Gon's worry was quite normal.

In comparison, Killua was naturally more relaxed.

"Continuing to wait probably won't have any effect. Instead of ending up with nothing, I suggest we just reveal ourselves!" Killua proposed after thinking for a moment.

"Reveal ourselves?" Gon looked surprised.

"Are you saying that you've been lurking nearby and observing me for the past few days?"

By the stream, Bailang, with his arms crossed, looked thoughtfully at Killua and Gon across from him.

"Is it true...?" Pengsi looked at the two suspiciously.

"Yes!"

"Of course!" Gon and Killua nodded in unison.

Seeing that the two didn't seem to be lying and instead appeared completely natural, Pengsi couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.

These two kids were so skilled. They had been lurking for several days, and she hadn't noticed at all.

Not only Pengsi, but Bailang also hadn't noticed.

It could only be said that when it came to lurking, Killua and Gon were indeed outstanding.

Killua, needless to say, as someone who was highly regarded by the Zoldyck family, he must have undergone rigorous training in various aspects since childhood. Lurking was just a basic skill for him.

As for Gon, he has developed his skills through training in nature on top of his exceptional talent.

In the original work, he had been secretly following Hisoka for a long time until Hisoka discovered him when he made a move to take the badge.

His ability to conceal his aura is almost comparable to "nen".

"So, why did you reveal yourselves now? Did you give up?" Bailang asked curiously.

Just now, Gon stated that his goal was to take Bailang's badge.

"Well, you could say yes or no. After observing for these few days, I have concluded that even if we wait until the end of the test, we probably won't find a suitable opportunity to snatch it. So, I propose to have a match with you, Langge," Killua explained as the proposer.

"What kind of match?"

"Cough cough, before I explain that, I want to first understand if you and Pengsi have already gathered enough points," Killua asked.

"Yes, we have gathered enough points."

That's good. Let's continue. Actually, Gon has already gathered 6 points. His other 3 points come from three badges of other examinees. So, we want to use Gon's 3 points and your badge as the stakes. Later, Gon and I will join forces to snatch your badge. If we succeed, we will exchange Gon's other 3 badges with you. If we fail, we will leave."

"....Is that it?" Listening to Killua's explanation, Bailang, who was prepared to hear more, suddenly found that Killua seemed to have finished speaking, leaving him speechless.

What is all this about?

So, after all that, I don't get any benefits?

Indeed, if you successfully snatch my badge, I can use the three badges I exchange to gather 6 points again. But what if you fail? Is it just over?

Pengsi also commented after listening, "It's amazing that you two came up with this. It's clearly just playing a game."

Gon scratched his head awkwardly.

He had felt that something was off when Killua explained it to him earlier. If it weren't for Killua's confident assurance that there would be no problem, he would have preferred to continue lurking.

Killua remained calm and said, "You can't put it that way. It may sound like a game, but it's actually a challenge. In a situation where there is a big difference in strength between the two sides, this is the only way we can make a challenge."

"Bailang, when did you become so eloquent?" Bailang playfully looked at Killua.

"Well... I guess it's okay!" Killua couldn't help but feel a little guilty under the gaze.

"Alright, since you've been lurking for several days, I'll play with you."

Just when Killua and Gon thought that Bailang would refuse, Bailang suddenly agreed.

"Huh?!" x2

Killua and Gon looked at Bailang in surprise.

Not only the two of them, but Pengsi also looked at Bailang in astonishment.

"Let's make it clear, accidents happen in fights. Don't blame me if you get hurt!" Bailang added with a hint of meaning.

"Naturally!" Gon nodded repeatedly.

With Bailang accepting the proposal, he became excited.

Although Killua was a bit puzzled as to why Bailang agreed so readily, he didn't think too much about it.
