When Sei Itō walked out of the forest, he saw a few other candidates walking out of the forest as well. Including Sei Itō, there were a total of ten candidates. Nine of them were candidates who were supposed to be here.
"Heh, those three didn't affect me either? Looks like they're all really talented. Looks like my influence is still very limited. I have to keep working hard, "Sei Itō sighed in his heart as he stood alone.
The ten candidates boarded the airship that was going to transport the candidates to the final exam venue. They had a good meal and were given a good rest.
"Next, the chairman would like to talk to all of you. If your number is called, please go to the first meeting room on the second floor. Examinee number 44, please come up. "
When everyone was almost done resting, the airship's broadcast system suddenly sounded. It was the voice of Bean Bun who gave out the numbers before the first round of the exam.
Not long after Caesar left, the sound of summoning came from the broadcast again. First, it was the shortest candidate among the ten. Sei Itō didn't pay attention to his name. Then, it was Kiya, the old man from the Martial Arts School, Jigurata, Xiao Gang, Hanzo, Kulapika, Leo, and finally, Sei Itō.
In the first meeting room on the second floor, Sei Itō and Chairman Nitro sat opposite each other.
"Okay, let's talk. First, why did you want to become a hunter?" Chairman Nitro asked as he looked at Sei Itō's information.
"No reason. It's just that it's easier and cheaper to get a hunter's license," Sei Itō said honestly.
"I see." Chairman Nitro chuckled and continued, "Then, which one of the other nine candidates do you care about the most?"
"The one I care about the most? Number 44, Caeso. That's probably him. " Sei Itō recalled his behavior during the exam. It seemed like he was always on guard against Caeso. That's why he paid the most attention to him.
"Although the other examinees are also very admirable, Caesar always emits killing intent from time to time. It's impossible not to notice him."
"Hmm, one last question. Out of the other nine, who do you want to fight the least?" Nitro picked up the information of the others and started reading.
"Also number 44, Xi Suo," Sei Itō said directly.
"I see. Thank you for your hard work. You can go back now." Nitro nodded.
"Then I'll take my leave." Sei Itō stood up, bowed slightly, and turned to leave. Although Sei Itō looked like an ordinary person with many flaws, for some reason, Sei Itō always felt very depressed. Being with Nitro was too stressful.
Three days after the end of the conversation, which was also three days after the end of the fourth exam, everyone was led by the officials of the association to a huge ancient castle that looked like a Muslim cult. They stopped in a hall that was close to 150 square meters in size. President Nitro, the examiners of the previous exams, and some staff members of the association came to the hall together.
Nitro walked over to a panel that Bean Bun had just pushed up. He lifted the curtain, and a table of match-ups appeared on the white drawing board under the curtain.
It wasn't the usual two-on-one battle schedule, but a very strange one.
"The final exam will be a one-on-one elimination tournament. The condition to pass this final exam is very simple. You just need to win one match!" President Nitro said. "The winner will stand out from the rest, and the loser will reach the top of the schedule. The person at the top of the schedule will fail."
As President Nitro explained, everyone began to carefully examine the competition schedule.
The first match was between No. 294 and No. 405. The loser of the two would face No. 53. The loser of No. 53 would fight No. 99. After that, the loser of No. 99 would fight No. 301.
Then there was the other half of the schedule. No. 191 would face the loser of No. 404 and No. 44. Sei Itō would face No. 403 (Leo). The loser of the two would face the loser of No. 191, No. 404, and No. 44.
"Does everyone understand?" Nitro asked after everyone had a rough understanding of their opponents.
"Only one person will fail, right?" Hanzo couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, and everyone will have more than two chances to win. Any other questions? "President Nitro asked after answering Hanzo's question.
"I feel that the competition schedule is unfair. May I know the reason?" asked the oldest martial artist among all the candidates.
"Mmm, I knew you would ask," President Nitro replied. President Nitro glanced at the examinee who asked the question and replied to him. Then, he said to the other examinees, "I arranged the competition schedule according to your previous exam results. To put it simply, those with good results will be given more chances."
"I don't understand. Can you tell us more about the grading method?" Kiya asked.
"No way!" Nitro refused immediately.
"Why not?"
"Because the grading method is confidential. I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you a little about it." Nitro held up three fingers and continued, "First of all, there are three criteria: Physical Ability, Mental Ability, and Impression Value.
The Physical Ability Value was a test of agility, flexibility, endurance, and five senses. The Spiritual Ability Score was a comprehensive assessment of durability, flexibility, judgment, creativity, and so on. However, these two criteria are only for reference. Besides, you are all strong people who have made it to the final exam. These criteria can't determine the winner. The most important thing is Impression Value! It's the score that can't be determined in the first two criteria. It can also be considered a Hunter's qualification. "
"Qualification?" Sei Itō was stunned. A Hunter's specialty was in their mind. Even if they had all kinds of strange techniques and rich knowledge, if they didn't know how to read, they wouldn't be qualified to be a Hunter. So this qualification referred to this? Was it the probability of opening one's mind? Could this be seen?
"Of course, this depends on how much effort you put into it." Nitro then began to explain, "The rules of the competition are very simple. Weapons are allowed. There are no rules. As long as the opponent says [I surrender], you win."
"However, if you kill the opponent, you will immediately lose the qualification. The remaining people will be considered qualified." Nitro retreated to the side and let the staff of the association come forward.
"Now, the competition begins!" The staff announced. "The first round, Hanzo against Xiaogang."
The process was the same as the original work. Hanzo was an adult, and his combat experience was much stronger than Xiaogang's. Moreover, his Ninja training wasn't for nothing. He could easily knock Xiaogang down. But although Xiaogang was knocked down, he always stood up with his strong willpower. Even in the face of Hanzo's torment, he refused to admit defeat. His serious appearance unconsciously began to affect the mood of the people around him … Even Sei Itō was affected by it. He had an impulse to kill Hanzo.
In the end, Hanzo was also affected by Xiaogang's seriousness. He knew that unless he killed him, it was impossible to make Xiaogang say [I surrender], but that would be equivalent to giving up the competition. Moreover, Hanzo didn't know when he started to think that it was cruel to treat a child like this. He had to voluntarily give up the competition and prepare to compete with the next opponent.
In this way, the first qualified person appeared — — Xiaogang.
