The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

Chapter 40 The Test Begins

"No--"

Ring ring ling...

Killua couldn't help but want to ask for clarification, but before he could say anything, a sudden burst of urgent alarm bells rang out from the tunnel.

"Don't worry, the test is about to begin. I'll explain everything to you later," Bailang glanced in the direction of the ringing alarm, then patted Killua's shoulder with a mysterious look on his face.

"Uh..." Killua looked at the other person speechlessly.

What kind of riddle person is this, always unable to directly explain things.

...

After the bell rang for a while, it quickly stopped, and at the same time, the wall at the other end of the tunnel slowly rose with a rumbling sound, revealing a dim passage that seemed to have no end in sight, and a well-dressed, gentlemanly man with a curled mustache.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting."

"At this moment, the registration period for this Hunter exam officially ends."

"So, let's proceed with the Hunter exam!"

The man with the curled mustache put away the alarm clock in his hand and calmly looked at all the examinees, explaining the current situation unhurriedly.

"This person is the examiner for the first test..."

"It looks like it's finally starting. I've been impatiently waiting for this!"

"Here it comes. I wonder what the test will be about. I hope it's something I'm good at!"

"..."

The rising wall immediately drew the attention of the examinees to the mustached man who appeared on the scene. From the mustached man's explanation, the examinees immediately deduced that he must be the examiner for the Hunter exam.

"For final confirmation, if you have bad luck or insufficient strength, it may result in serious injury or even loss of life..."

"Even so, for those who still insist on participating, please follow me!"

"If you want to give up, please leave the testing venue through the elevator at the back as soon as possible!"

The mustached man, or Satotz, continued to speak calmly.

Silence.

Even though some people's faces changed slightly and their bodies tensed up when Satotz mentioned the possibility of losing their lives, after waiting for a while, none of the examinees went towards the elevator.

"Alright, all 398 examinees will participate in the first test!"

Seeing that no one was dropping out, Satotz nodded slightly and, with a slightly raised voice, turned and stepped towards the depths of the tunnel.

"398 people... I remember in the original work it should be 404 people, no, it should be 405 people, one of whom was the examinee that Hisoka disabled."

"But now there are only 398 people, even if we count Tonpa, who I took care of, there should still be 404 people... "

"Wait a minute, the people who come to participate in the Hunter exam are all aiming to become professional Hunters. If we exclude those with noble pursuits, most of them are probably here to earn bounties..."

"In that case, with my 500 million Jenny bounty, it's possible that among the people who attacked me before, there were examinees who came to participate in the Hunter exam."

"So the most likely reason for the decrease in the number of examinees now is because of the changes I brought?"

As Satotz moved, the examinees followed suit, and Bailang, Pengsi, and Killua also did the same.

While keeping up with the group, Bailang couldn't help but speculate on the number of examinees that Satotz had just mentioned, 398, and a series of thoughts arose in his mind.

The speculated result, huh?

Bailang stroked his chin.

There were quite a few people who attacked him. If he were to think about it, he couldn't figure out if any of them were actually participants in the Hunter Exam from the original work.

Hmm... Even if there were, it could only be said that these people brought it upon themselves.

If it weren't for their greed for the bounty on his body, how could they have lost their lives for no reason?

......

At first, they were walking at a normal pace, but after a while, the speed of the group gradually increased, transitioning from walking to running.

"Why is the speed increasing?"

When Pengsi also transitioned into running, she looked ahead with some surprise, seemingly wanting to pass the crowd in front and see what the leading examiner was like.

"No need to look. The first test has already begun, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be a boring long-distance run next." Bailang casually said.

At this moment, Satotz's voice also rang out from the front of the group.

"I almost forgot to mention, I am the examiner for the first test. My name is Satotz, and now I will lead everyone to the venue for the second test!"

"The second test? What about the first test?" A bald person in the crowd immediately asked.

"The first test has already begun... Follow me to the venue for the second test, which is the first test." Satotz turned around and glanced at the examinees.

As soon as these words were spoken, Pengsi immediately understood the meaning.

"So that's how it is. So the first test is a test of physical strength?" Pengsi turned her head to confirm with Bailang.

Bailang nodded. "That's right, but it's not just that. Besides physical strength, this test is also a mental challenge."

"You see, the examiner didn't mention the specific location of the destination, nor did he say how far we have to go. Moving forward without a clear destination, once it continues for a long time, it will become a dual test of physical and mental endurance."

"I see. So this is the Hunter Exam. The first test is so strict." Pengsi sighed in understanding.

After finishing the conversation with Pengsi, Bailang turned his head and looked at Killua on the other side.

The wheels were sliding.

Killua on the other side slyly used his skateboard after the speed increased.

He moved forward on the skateboard, looking quite relaxed and comfortable.

"Xiaobai, your skateboard is pretty good. Let me borrow it for a bit!"

Killua immediately became wary. "Just borrow it? You won't keep it, will you?"

Bailang glanced at him sideways. "Come on, do you think I'm that kind of person? You're insulting my character."

"Tch~ You riddle person. Let's settle the previous matter first before we talk about my character!" Killua pursed his lips.

He really hated riddle people.

Although he had good self-control, his curiosity was also quite strong.
