The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

"There's only one minute left, and Killua and the others haven't shown up yet. Could they have been eliminated?" As she stood up, Pengsi glanced at the other examinees at the bottom of the tower and couldn't help muttering.

Bailang, with his arms crossed, casually said, "Who knows, maybe they just like to make a grand entrance at the end!"

"Like to make a grand entrance? What does that mean?" Pengsi was puzzled and looked at Bailang.

"In movies, isn't it always portrayed like that? The protagonist always appears last," Bailang said with a smile.

Pengsi thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. "You're right, saying it like that does make sense. The last one to appear undoubtedly attracts the most attention. It's truly a treatment reserved for the main character."

"Yeah, the main character often has to go through great hardships to accomplish something, unlike us insignificant characters who achieve things easily," Bailang said with emotion.

"DB..."

At first, Pengsi didn't understand, but when she realized it, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "According to your logic, being the main character is really tough!"

Boom!

While Bailang and Pengsi were chatting, the last minute was quickly coming to an end. But at this moment, a stone door suddenly rose.

"The twenty-first, number 396, Kurapika!"

"The twenty-second, number 99, Killua!"

"The twenty-third, number 398, Gon!"

"The twenty-fourth, number 397, Leorio!"

"The twenty-fifth, number 80, Shibatsu!"

"The five of them took 71 hours and 59 minutes."

From the raised stone door, five disheveled figures quickly walked out one after another.

"What's going on? How did so many people suddenly appear?"

"It's these guys. I didn't expect them to barely pass."

"Lucky bastards. They actually caught up in time!"

[....]

As the test was about to end, the sudden addition of five people made many examinees secretly mutter.

The more people there were, the fiercer the competition.

Although they didn't know what kind of test would be arranged later, it was undoubtedly that the fewer the number of people, the smaller the competition.

"Huh? You were right. These guys really showed up at the last moment," Pengsi said in astonishment as she looked at Killua and the others who had arrived, unable to help but say to Bailang.

"I told you so. Look at their appearance, each one clearly went through great hardships. That's why I said being the main character isn't that easy," Bailang laughed.

He gazed at Killua and the others, feeling a sense of emotion.

The inertia of the plot was truly powerful. According to reason, Killua's appearance had already brought many changes to the Hunter test, but in the current situation, it was obvious that they had entered the path of the five-person group.

Hmm... there has been some change after all. At least Tonpa, who was supposed to have been eliminated long ago, has been replaced by another person in the team.

And that person is none other than the previously mentioned Shibatsu.

"Shibatsu... does look quite good..."

Even without the comments, instinctively, Bailang's gaze shifted towards Shibatsu, who replaced Tonpa and passed the test with Killua.

She is a beautiful girl with long golden hair.

Her face is delicate but also exudes a heroic aura. Her long hair is tied up with a green hairband, and she is dressed in a black outfit that resembles a combat uniform, making her look even more heroic.

Bailang silently scanned her well-fitted attire three times, then nodded secretly.

Confirmed, not only does she look beautiful, but her figure is also quite impressive.

So, should I try to flirt with her when I get the chance?

"Beep~! Time's up. The third test is over. The number of candidates who passed is 25. Now, please proceed from the opened exit to the outside of the Tower of Traps!"

After Killua and the others arrived, time quickly ran out, and no new candidates appeared. As soon as the time was up, a broadcast sounded, and a door leading to the outside of the tower rose on one side of the wall.

The bright sunlight shone through the exit, making the candidates' eyes light up. Without hesitation, they all headed towards the exit and soon arrived outside the Tower of Traps one by one.

A refreshing sea breeze greeted them as they walked out of the Tower of Traps. On a platform atop a steep cliff, they could see an endless expanse of the sea in the distance.

"Ah... the fresh air outside is so comfortable."

Stepping out of the Tower of Traps and feeling the sea breeze, Pengsi smoothed her disheveled hair, took a deep breath, and expressed a contented sigh.

"Yeah, the environment inside was indeed a bit stuffy." Bailang, who stretched lazily, agreed.

"Brother Lang!" A greeting came from the side. It was Killua, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio walking towards them.

Bailang turned to look at Killua, who was greeting him, and couldn't help but tease, "Little White, you're not doing so well. Not only were you the last one to arrive, but you also look so disheveled."

Killua showed an expression of helplessness and complained, "I didn't want to be like this either, but the passage we took was really disgusting. It kept forcing us to make choices, and we even encountered a group of criminals behind us. Every time we lost a match, time was deducted, so we ended up being delayed until the end."

"You guys are just not good enough. Bailang and I also encountered similar situations, but we easily passed through," Pengsi said, looking at Killua and the others (Qian Nuo), with an expression of "Is that all?"

"Huh? Brother Lang, Pengsi, you two also took the same passage?" Gon exclaimed in surprise.

Kurapika and Leorio also looked at Bailang and Pengsi in astonishment.

They had originally thought that Bailang and Pengsi had taken separate paths in the test, but unexpectedly, it seemed that like them, the two of them had taken the same passage.

Bailang nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right!"

"It seems that we all had pretty good luck. Although we encountered some obstacles on our side, fortunately, we all managed to pass the third test smoothly," Kurapika sighed with some emotion.

Bailang glanced at him.

You guys might rely on luck, but I relied solely on my strength.

(Taking into account the issue of appearance, the appearance of Shibatsu in this book is based on the old version. Hmm... that's how it is!)
