The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

"Snake Alive!!"

If Killua still had any hesitation in his mind, like the killing intent Hisoka showed when attacking, he would have already escaped or surrendered.

But now, after breaking free from Illumi's control, he has shown himself as a genius with a fighting stance.

Not only was he not intimidated by Hisoka's killing intent, but he also counterattacked bravely and decisively.

His arms turned into blurry afterimages, swiftly swinging and approaching Hisoka with a terrifying tearing force.

Killua appeared behind Hisoka.

"The aura is so wonderful..."

Hisoka was not surprised but delighted that his attack was dodged by Killua, especially when he discovered the attack from behind.

He bent his knees and leaped.

Hisoka jumped up like a dancing blade, avoiding the attack from behind by Killua.

At the same time, in mid-air, he continuously shot several playing cards, aiming for Killua's head and shoulders.

Suddenly, he looked up and swiftly grabbed with his hands in the form of "Sharp Claws."

Killua's reaction was also quick, shattering all the playing cards shot by Hisoka.

Initially, although Bailang didn't personally teach him after opening his Aura Nodes, he did pass on the Four Major Principles and Advanced Applications to him.

After so many days, Killua couldn't say he had mastered them all, but he had grasped quite a lot.

For example, "Tenacity."

At the beginning of the battle, Killua displayed "Tenacity," which allowed him to tear apart the playing cards entangled with Hisoka's aura.

"Although still a bit immature, to be able to master Nen to this extent in such a short time, it's worthy of being a member of the Zoldyck family..."

Hisoka lightly laughed in his heart when his playing cards were torn apart, and his eyes became even more intense.

His figure landed on the ground while spinning.

Hisoka's mouth split open, and he immediately burst out by bending his knees.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared close to Killua.

"So fast!"

When Hisoka approached, Killua caught him, and while shocked by his speed, he quickly swung his hand towards him.

Bending down to avoid the sweeping arm, Hisoka punched Killua's cheek.

Bang!!!

His body flew backward, but in mid-air, he suddenly rotated and released the force, causing Killua to stumble and slide several meters before stopping.

But before Killua could adjust his state, suddenly, he uncontrollably flew towards Hisoka.

No, it should be said that Hisoka pulled Killua towards him.

When Hisoka hit Killua's cheek, he also used "Flexible Love," the contraction of gum-like aura, completely catching Killua off guard.

Bang!!

As Killua was pulled towards him, Hisoka followed up with a knee strike, fiercely hitting Killua's abdomen.

The violent impact caused Killua to spit out blood, and then Hisoka grabbed the back of his head and smashed it into the ground, leaving a dent in the ground.

"Phew~ You passed. I am very satisfied with your performance. However, battles between Nen users are not as simple as you imagine. The previous match was a lesson for you. I hope you can show even better performance next time we meet, otherwise I will really kill you." Hisoka leaned down and whispered into Killua's ear with a light laugh.

"What an excellent fruit it is, almost made me unable to resist. But now is not the time to taste it... Besides," Hisoka restrained his excitement and caught a glimpse of a gaze coming from Bailang.

The owner of the gaze was looking at Hisoka with a gentle expression.

"...It will also affect the main course later!" Hisoka released his hand that was grabbing Killua's head and stood up, walking towards the side of the arena. He waved his hand casually, just like in the previous match, and said, "I surrender!"

The referee was stunned for a moment, then quickly announced the result of the match.

"Cough cough..." Released from Hisoka's suppression, Killua stood up from the sunken ground and coughed out some residual blood.

"Damn it, the difference in strength is so big, and that pulling force just now, was it the opponent's Nen... Looking at Hisoka walking towards the side of the arena, Killua wiped the bloodstains from his mouth with his hand. Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he had nothing to say about losing.

...Seeking applause...

He won the match, but lost in terms of strength.

To Killua, the match itself was not important, but the severe gap in strength was what truly concerned him.

Of course, Killua did not underestimate himself. He knew that he had just started learning "Nen," so it was normal for him to lose to Hisoka, not to mention that he was much younger than the other party.

After adjusting his emotions, Killua silently retreated to the side of the arena.

"It seems that Hisoka has also set his sights on Xiaobai. That's right, after all, Illumi is already out of the picture. With Hisoka's personality, he won't have any fear towards the Zoldyck family..." The end of the match also made Bailang withdraw his gaze from Hisoka.

What kind of personality does Hisoka have? Extremely confident, at least when it comes to his own strength.

Although Bailang used his killing intent to intimidate Hisoka just now, he did not think that it would be enough to make Hisoka stop.

So the reason the other party stopped was probably more because of the expectations for Killua.

This was not a random guess by Bailang, but something expressed by Hisoka himself in a conversation with Netero in the original work. He said that the person he cared about the most was Killua, not Gon.

In short, if it weren't for Illumi's influence, the probability of Hisoka targeting Killua would be much higher than Gon.

And now, with Illumi no longer a constraint, Hisoka naturally wouldn't hold back his desires.

Bailang rubbed his chin.

Why does it feel like Xiaobai is going to surpass Gon?

From his observation, Xiaobai is quite proud and arrogant. Now that he has been beaten up by Hisoka, he will definitely rise up and catch up. So will there be another battle between him and Hisoka in the future?

No, before Xiaobai catches up to Hisoka, Hisoka may not even live to see that day.

After all, he and the other party still have a promised battle.

The match continued, and the next round was the fifth round in Group A, with Hanzo and Ponzu, who had lost again, facing each other.

"I surrender!"

Even before the two participants entered the arena, suddenly, Hanzo raised his hand and chose to surrender.
