Volume 4 Hunter Exam Chapter 014 Begins
Ring ring ring ring ring…
At this moment, a loud ring suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation.
When Emiya looked up, he saw the examiner, Saji, holding a strange alarm clock in his hand, standing on a high place and looking down at all the candidates.
After the ringing attracted everyone's attention, the examiner, Saci, turned off the alarm and said softly, "The ringing just now means the reporting time is over. Now I announce that the Hunter Exam has begun."
He jumped down from the pipe and pointed to the deep end of the tunnel where no exit could be seen. "Please come this way."
Then he walked forward, with all the candidates following behind him.
Of course, this also includes Emiya and his group.
As he walked, Saci said, "First of all, the Hunter Exam is extremely strict. Those who are unlucky or lack strength may be killed or injured. And like before, fights between candidates have occurred from time to time, resulting in the inability to make a comeback..."
What he said was that not long ago, a unlucky guy collided with Hisoka, but the unlucky guy didn't say sorry.
After all, most of the people who come here are very capable and inevitably a little unruly. They usually don't say sorry after bumping into others, because it will make them look too weak and be looked down upon by others.
But the reason why Emiya said he was unlucky was because he ran into the pervert Hisoka.
Among all the candidates, Hisoka is definitely the most dangerous one.
So Hisoka cut off both of this guy's arms, making it impossible for him to make a comeback.
When Emiya saw this scene, he did not stop it. Although Hisoka was cruel, the guy whose arm was cut off was not a good person either.
Although he is a bit kind, he is not a saint. That guy is not his relative, so Emiya certainly won't interfere.
Saci originally wanted to scare off a few people by saying this, but most of those who can go this far are people who have confidence in themselves.
Of course I won't be scared off by just a few words.
"If you have no questions, please follow me." After making sure that no one was scared away, the examiner stopped talking and led the way.
Everyone followed closely behind him.
However, as time passed, Sasi's speed became faster and faster, and he soon left the other candidates behind.
When the candidates saw this, they certainly couldn't let the examiner leave them behind, so they all sped up.
Emiya created an electric bike and rode on it. As soon as he sat down, Robin came over unceremoniously, sat behind Emiya and smiled.
"Mind giving a beautiful lady a ride?"
"Of course I don't mind. Please sit tight, beautiful lady." Emiya smiled and rode his bike to catch up with the examiner.
Examiner Saji looked at Emiya in surprise, but did not say that Emiya committed a foul. In his opinion, no matter what method was used, as long as he could keep up with him, it would not be considered a foul.
Saci retracted his gaze and said as he ran, "I haven't introduced myself to you all yet. I am Saci, the examiner of the first test. I will lead you to the venue of the second test."
A bald man couldn't help but ask: "Second venue, what about the first test?"
Saci turned around and said with a smile: "Those who can follow me to the second venue will be considered to have passed the first test. I will not reveal the test location and arrival time, all you have to do is follow me."
Emiya already knew this clearly when he was watching the plot.
So he wasn't surprised.
In his opinion, the first test was undoubtedly the easiest one among all the hunter tests. He would not encounter any danger nor lose his life. If he fell behind, he could just go back and try again next year.
The exams after the second one will be more dangerous and you may lose your life if you are not careful.
Niki Chio followed Emiya and looked at him riding an electric bike. He said with envy, "What a convenient ability."
Emiya asked back, "Do you want me to give you one?"
"No need. If the Hunter Exam is just about running, it won't be difficult for me." Nigui Zhixu said easily.
He has abundant physical strength and special skills to recover his strength. He would not feel exhausted even after running for seven or eight hours, let alone one hour.
Soon, an hour passed, two hours passed...still no one was eliminated.
The candidates who can pass the selection are all outstanding, and it is actually normal for them to have such physical strength.
But this is just the beginning.
Soon, another two hours passed, and still no one fell behind. Everyone was trying desperately to keep up with the team, not wanting to be completely eliminated.
Emiya and his group continued to maintain a certain pace, following behind the examiner.
Robin, who was sitting behind Emiya, glanced at the time and said, "It's been four hours, and we haven't reached the end yet. How long is this tunnel?"
Emiya said: "This tunnel is very long, so long that it will make a group of candidates despair, and there will be things ahead that will make the candidates even more desperate."
Robin couldn't help but look at Emiya deeply, "I always feel that you seem to be very clear about this exam."
"I guess so." Emiya said with a smile.
Two hours later, after the candidates had run about 80 kilometers, the long tunnel finally changed after a turn and was no longer an unknown road ahead.
It's a staircase with no visible top.
When seeing this staircase, many candidates whose heartbeats were already irregular showed expressions of disbelief.
The main reason is that the staircase is too high, so high that it makes people want to give up at the first sight.
Of course, Emiya's electric car couldn't move forward, so he simply abandoned the electric car, used his telekinesis to lift himself and Robin, and flew directly.
Because there were no forks in the stairs from the bottom to the top, Emiya and Robin passed the examiner in an instant.
"We'll go ahead."
After saying that, he and Robin disappeared from the examiner's sight in the blink of an eye.
The examiner, Saji, looked at Emiya's back, his pupils shrank several times, "Flying? What kind of Nen ability is this?"
He had never seen a human being who could fly.
Although humans can now conquer the sky with various means of transportation, flying without any props is still the dream of countless people.
To be honest, he had seen quite a few people with the ability to use Nen, but he had never seen one who could fly.
It seems that this year's exam is more interesting than ever before.
It wasn't long before Emiya and Robin reached the exit.
What appeared before them was a wetland filled with fog.
"Where is this place?" Robin asked curiously.
"This is the only way to the second test venue. Damien Wetland is also known as the Trickster's Lair. There are many rare and exotic animals that can't be seen outside living here."
"Then why is this place called the Lair of the Trickster?"
"Because many of the rare and exotic animals living here are cunning creatures that can deceive humans and treat them as food. Many humans will lose their lives after being deceived by them."
"So that's what's going on." Robin suddenly realized.
"But there are a lot of good things in there. Let's go and take a look first." Emiya was a skilled and bold man. Without waiting for the examiner to arrive, he took Robin into the fraudster's lair.
Robin asked, "What's the good stuff here?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
After the two people went deep into the wetland, the surrounding fog quickly confused their vision. However, both of them had Observation Haki, and the thick fog could not block their perception.
Soon, Emiya found his target.
"Let's go." He led Robin forward and soon they saw a huge turtle.
The turtle's shell is covered with human-shaped strawberries.
"What's this?"
"One of the specialties of the wetland is the killer turtle, which only moves in thick fog, using the pedestrian strawberries on its back to attract passers-by and then eats them."
As Emiya spoke, his telekinetic hand flew over, grabbed a few huge strawberries, and flew back.
These strawberries are about the size of a human head and look extremely delicious.
Emiya gave one to Robin, "Try it, it should taste good."
Robin took the strawberry and pointed at the killer turtle crawling over and said, "You should finish this before you eat it."
"No problem." Emiya's telekinesis flew out and directly knocked the killer turtle to the ground, with its limbs facing upwards. In this way, the killer turtle had no way to attack Emiya and Robin.
Emiya used his telekinesis to cut the strawberry in his hand into a dozen pieces of varying sizes, picked up one of them, and threw it into his mouth.
sweet!
This was Emiya’s first feeling, but there was also a hint of sourness in the sweetness. The two flavors blended together skillfully, making it more delicious than any strawberry Emiya had eaten before.
Just as Emiya imagined, the killer turtle is also a rare and exotic animal, and the strawberries growing on its back are naturally a rare species.
If placed in the captive world of gourmet food, the killer turtle should also be an ingredient of hunting level two or above.
"Try it." Emiya gave Robin a piece.
Robin took a bite, nodded and said, "It's really delicious."
After the two shared the strawberries, Emiya found a few killer turtles, picked all the strawberries on their backs, went back to the world of Jigoku, and gave them to Erina Nakiri.
Then, Emiya returned to the wetlands to continue looking for other delicacies.
In the original plot, in addition to the killer turtle, the dangerous animals that appear in the wetlands include the human-faced ape, the waiting giant frog, the hypnotic disc, the mine mushroom, the deceptive crow, etc.
But such a huge wetland cannot possibly contain only these few dangerous creatures.
While wandering around the wetlands, Emiya saw many dangerous animals that did not appear in the plot.
The one that impressed Emiya the most was a poisonous snake. This snake could change its body color like a chameleon, and even its life breath could be hidden.
When Emiya saw this guy, he thought it was just an ordinary branch and walked past it carelessly. Then this guy suddenly attacked Emiya from behind.
