Chapter 300 How to fight?
This is the first time among all previous tests that a total of twenty candidates passed the general level and reached the final test.
The person who contributed to this record is the youngest one-star bounty hunter in the history of the Hunter Association.
President Nitro has no objection to this result.
He knew that Kurapika had understood the action plan of the review committee and followed the trend to perform his duties as an examiner.
Originally, the method of "eliminating one person by one person" was what he planned to implement in the final test.
Unexpectedly, Kurapika got there first.
On this point, the two people have the same idea.
So judging from the test process and results, Nitro is still very satisfied.
In his view, this test not only successfully selected a group of candidates with good abilities, but also allowed him to clearly see the unlimited potential and bright future contained in Kurapika.
Then,
At this moment when the dust has settled.
What Nitro should think about is whether to continue to implement the original idea of "only eliminating one person" in the final test.
In this way, this year's test will include an unprecedented nineteen fresh blood.
"Well, it's really a bit difficult to handle."
Nitro wore a hook-shaped beard, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he was lost in thought.
Although the course of action for reform has been determined, this kind of thing should be done step by step.
It doesn't seem that important if the step is too big all at once.
Nitro quickly stopped worrying about the potential unrest among the review committee and turned to thinking about how to formulate the content of the final test.
After the end of the fourth level test, it was just about time for dinner.
Under the organization of Doumianren, the candidates went to the restaurant.
It didn’t take long before rich dishes were delivered to the candidates.
While they ate, they discussed the final test.
"The last level should be actual combat."
"Definitely."
There is basically no suspense about the final test.
While eating, the candidates looked at Moreau and Hisoka from time to time.
If the final test is really a real battle, the opponents they least want to encounter are Moro and Hisoka.
One is a mysterious master who cleared the trap tower in only six minutes, and the other is a pervert with the word danger written all over his body.
At the same time.
In the tea room.
Nitro held the numbered list of candidates in his hand. After deciding that the theme was actual combat, he thought about how to arrange the battle lineup.
"Let's "ask" the candidates for their opinions first.
Rather than make a decision hastily, Nitro decided to take into account the opinions of the candidates.
So half an hour later.
The announcement from the bean-faced man rang out from the flying public address system:
"Attention, all candidates, the president will now conduct an interview. Candidates who heard their number, please move to the first interview room on the second floor."
The sound spread to every corner of the airship.
「Interview!?」
Most of the candidates who heard the announcement were slightly surprised.
The next second, the bean-faced man's voice sounded again: "Please ask the candidate number 502 to the interview room. Repeat, please call the candidate number 502."
Hounding the candidate number, the candidates who were resting freely in the spacious hall couldn't help but look at Morrow.
Obviously, the order of interviews is determined based on the performance ranking of the previous test.
Facing many looks, Moreau slowly stood up and walked towards the door.
"Is there still an interview? It seems like—the final test will be the same as the original, right?"
Morrow guessed in his mind.
A moment later.
He came to the reception room.
The room is in a typical Japanese style, with futons and low tables placed on the raised tatami.
Nitro sat on the futon inside, put his hands into his sleeves, looked at Moreau who opened the door and said, "Sit down."
Moro nodded slightly, took off his shoes and stepped on the tatami, and sat cross-legged in front of Nitro.
Nitro looked at Moreau's face and said slowly: "Don't you want to ask something? For example, is this interview a final test?"
"Since it is an interview, I can only be the one who "answers"."
Moreau looked calm.
Nitro smiled and said: "Having said that - well, let's not waste time and get straight to the point. Next, I will ask a few questions as a reference for the final test. First of all, which candidate do you most approve of?"
Nitroting raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "What's the reason?"
Morrow said frankly: "Actually, my answer has nothing to do with test performance. No. 474 and I have known each other for a long time. If you have to give me a reason, it is that I admire No. 474's tenacity that far exceeds his age. If it were me, I would probably still be playing in the mud when I was seven or eight years old."
"That's it."
Nitro chin slightly, took out his right hand from his sleeve, raised two fingers, and asked: "Second question, if the final test requires collaborative operations, who do you want to cooperate with the most and who do you want to cooperate with the least?"
"I most want to cooperate with No. 474 (Kurt), and least want to cooperate with No. 444 (Hisoka)."
Morrow still answered quickly.
Nitro asked: "What's the reason?"
"I have just said that I am familiar with No. 474. As for No. 444-"
Morrow just imagined the situation of cooperating with Hisoka, and couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "He is a pervert. Forget about other situations, as long as he is a normal person, he does not want to be with a person in the final test. Are you a pervert?"
"I understand."
Nitro picked up the notepad from the table and said seriously: "No problem, you can go out."
"Okay."
Morro stood up and left.
Although the interview questions were different from the original ones, he still chose to answer them truthfully.
As for whether Nitro would deliberately reverse the "reference opinions", Moreau was not worried at all.
If the final test is really the so-called coordinated operation, then out of considerations of strength, no matter what, it is impossible for him to team up with Hisoka.
As soon as Moreau walked out of the reception room, the sound of the airship's broadcast once again spread to every corner.
"Please invite candidate No. 473 (Xiaojie) to the interview room—"
After a moment.
Xiaojie came to the reception room.
Nitro asked Xiaojie to sit down, held a notepad, and asked: "Among the candidates, who do you think is the most powerful?"
Xiaojie: "No. 502 (Morrow)."
Nitro: "What is the reason?"
Xiaojie: "Because he is very powerful."
"Well...——·
Nitro raised his finger and raised his forehead, and asked: "Next question, if the final test requires collaborative operations, who do you want to cooperate with the most and who do you least want to cooperate with?"
Xiaojie thought about it for a while. , replied: "I most want to cooperate with No. 475 (Qi), and least want to cooperate with No. 444 (Hisoka)."
"What is the reason?"
Nitro asked.
Xiaojie said: "It would be interesting to cooperate with Qi. The reason why I don't want to cooperate with Hisoka is that I think he is very, very perverted."
"I understand, I understand, it's no problem, you can go out."
Nitro asked Xiaojie to leave.
The interview continues.
The next one is Leorio.
"The most powerful candidate is probably No. 502 (Morrow). Thanks to him, I was able to advance so smoothly. I want to cooperate with No. 502 (Moro) the most. I always feel that if I team up with him, I will pass the test. I least want to cooperate with No. 444 (Hisoka). There is something wrong with him."
Leorio's sincere answer.
"The most powerful person - No. 502 (Morrow), I don't know how to put it, I just think he can make people feel at ease. The person who wants to cooperate the most is of course 502, and the person who least wants to cooperate is definitely Hisoka!!!"
"No. 444 (Hisoka), I can't beat him. The person I want to cooperate with the most is No. 474 (Kurt). There is no special reason. As a brother, you should take good care of your sister. The person who least wants to cooperate is No. 444. He is very dangerous."
"Of course No. 502 (Morrow) is the most powerful, and the people who want to cooperate most are No. 502 (Morrow) and No. 475 (Qi),
Others don't matter."
The tone of Kurt's answer left no room for doubt.
"Originally, I thought No. 444 (Hisoka) was the most difficult one. His murderous intention has always been very strong. Even looking at him directly made me feel very stressed. I couldn't see any chance of defeating him. Alas, it's quite desperate when I think about it, but...""
When it was Hanzo's turn ，他滔滔不绝道：
「后面又觉得是502号（莫罗）更厉害点，他的身上有一种说不清楚的神秘气息，让我觉得他特别的不简单，唔我也不知道该怎么形容那种感觉，就是，矣，我还没说完呢！」
Hanzo was kicked out of the reception room.
"No. 502 (Morrow) is probably the most powerful. I feel he is very smart. The person I want to cooperate with the most is No. 502 (Morrow).
Because he is a telepathic person. Although No. 444 (Hisoka) is also a telepathic person, he is very abnormal and I don’t want to cooperate with him. 》
Barbara’s heartfelt answer.
After Barbara left the interview room, Nitro did not directly invite the next candidate, but kept writing on his notepad.
"Almost every candidate thinks No. 502 is the best, so they all want to cooperate with him. On the other hand, the person who least wants to cooperate is No. 444, and the reasons are surprisingly consistent."
Nitro put down his pen, with a look of thought in his eyes.
If the interview is based on performance ranking, then the next person will be Hisoka, who is ranked twelfth.
Thinking about the reasons given by the eleven candidates, Nitro temporarily decided to postpone Hisoka's interview to the last one. So Hisoka, who was supposed to be ready for the interview in the lounge, heard another candidate number from the radio announcement.
Although he found it strange, Hisoka didn't think much about it and continued playing with the cards.
No. 197, No. 198, No. 199, No. 53.
Candidates went to the reception room for interviews one after another.
The answers they gave were generally the same.
At least on the issue of the person they least wanted to cooperate with, the reasons they gave for Hisoka were almost all perverted and dangerous.
Until Nitro watched Bodero leave the interview room, only Hisoka was left without an interview.
And the notepad was already filled with writings by Nitro.
Hence "Candidate No. 444, please come to the interview room—"
Him The voice of the bean-faced man came from the radio.
In the airship hall.
The candidates who have finished the interview are basically here.
Listening to the announcement on the radio, they all looked at Hisoka who was sitting in the corner stacking cards.
"Oh, is it finally my turn?"
Hisoka stood up and said to himself. Under the watch of everyone, he strolled out of the hall and went to the reception room on the second floor. Soon, he arrived at the reception room and sat directly on the futon without Nitro's greeting.
Nitro looked at contestant No. 444, who was unanimously rejected by all the candidates, and asked: "Among all the candidates,
Who do you think is the most powerful?"
Nitro asked calmly: "What's the reason?"
"You can think that I am a narcissistic person."
As the person with the telekinesis ability who is best at lying, Hisoka chose to confess at this moment.
Narcissism is indeed the main reason.
But more importantly, in a world where mental abilities are fought, those who work alone must always believe that they are the strongest.
This kind of paranoid self-confidence may be a talisman that accelerates death for mediocre people, but for monsters or geniuses, it is an important gear on the road to becoming strong.
"Young people should be confident."
Nitro nodded and continued to ask: "Second question, if the final test requires collaborative operations, who do you most and least want to cooperate with?"
"I am not interested in cooperation."< Hisoka's eyes were like hooks at this moment, piercing Nitro's body, and said: "But the person who least wants to cooperate is No. 502 (Morrow).""
"What is the reason?"
Nitro looked at Hisoka with interest.
Hisoka gradually exuded a substantive fighting spirit, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Because I want to fight with him more."
"Oh, I understand."
Nitro's mouth curled up slightly, and this was the first time he smiled during the entire interview.
Because the moment he listened to Hisoka's answer, he completely confirmed the battle grouping for the final test.
"There are no other questions, you can go out."
Nitro invited Hisoka out, then picked up a pen and quickly wrote out the grouping situation.
Two days later.
The airship slowly landed on a mountaintop shrouded in clouds and mist.
The top of this mountain peak is incredibly flat, as if the peak was cut off by a shocking sword, forming a vast natural platform.
On this miraculous flat roof, there are more than a dozen martial arts buildings scattered in an orderly manner.
This is a holy land of martial arts built by masters of Shingenryu.
It is now being used as a venue for final testing by Nitro.
In the center of the building complex is a large open-air training ground surrounded by walls, with an area equivalent to one and a half football fields.
The center of the training ground.
Nitro faced the candidates.
Behind him is a bulletin board covered with white cloth.
「嘘嘘。」
Nitro said calmly: "The final test will be conducted in the form of a team duel."
As soon as these words came out, the candidates present were not surprised.
After all, the interview a few days ago was equivalent to revealing the final test questions in advance.
Now, they only care about the team formation.
"For team arrangement, please see the bulletin board."
Nitro said, lifting the white cloth on the bulletin board.
Without the cover of the white cloth, everyone present immediately saw the team formation situation on the bulletin board, as well as the arrangements for the duel.
But before they could take a closer look, they immediately noticed the information about the team at the top.
It is a two-person team composed of Moro and Hisoka!

If Morrow and Hisoka are put into the same team, how can they still fight? !
