20 Chapter 10 : Bluff and number

The boat arrived on Zevil Island after two hours of travel, docked on the south side of the island, then they put a plank on the ground connecting the boat to the island of Zevil.

Khara thanks them for their patience, she tells them to exit the boat in the order of the exited Trick Tower, they each must wait two minutes every time someone exits the boat. 

Khara explains that they will be on Zevil Island for a week and they must amass 6 points before returning to the landing site. She calls for the first person, Illumi, and two minutes later, James, who then gradually disappeared into the forest.

James took a deep breath before smiling and then rushed forward at full speed jumping from tree to tree.

"What a beautiful landscape!"

The air was moist and pure, the green leaves of the trees stood out and swirled in the air, the brightness of the sunlight and the sound of the animals gave a feeling of vitality and peace.

While contemplating the landscape, he stopped on the branch of a large tree before climbing quickly to the top and looked towards the boat.

With three points of Sense statistics his sight could be considered superhuman, almost equal to high-precision military binoculars.

He could distinguish the silhouettes of the candidates dispersing in the forest from his position, but he still could not locate Killua.

"It's a trained member of the Zoldick family, walking through this forest without a trace would be child's play, with my hearing I could hear the sound of faint footprints within 100 yards, heartbeats within 10 feet, my sight and hearing is useless in such cases, but with the help of this sea wind..."

James then raised his head slightly and took another deep breath before jumping out of the tree.

"I could locate anyone who doesn't use Nen or special scent masking products within a mile."

James then rushed through the forest as a thin layer of aura enveloped him.

"killua zoldick, the third child of the famous Zoldick family, before awakening the Nen he could already exert a force of 16 tons, extremely fast speed, inhuman reflex, genius intellect, master of strategy, immense poison resistance, and the second MC of HxH."

"His physical strength alone if he were in the Survival World could be considered a 10 in my opinion normally i won't have a chance to win against him."

"But thanks to the manga I know how to defeat it without a fight, at an unknown point in his life, his family determined he lacked the mindset of a real assassin and had Illumi implant a special needle in his head to subliminally remodel his character through fear."

"Who can it be, what a powerful aura, he's coming towards me, should I run away?"

"In the face of an enemy he cannot defeat, he will immediately favour flight. Although I have not yet mastered the Nen, I still know how to use its most basic ability."

The Nen de james suddenly became dark with a reddish hue, his eyes released a powerful feeling of violence, frightening all the animals present as he ran even faster.

. . . . . . . . .

At the same time Killua, who was silently walking through the forest with a lazy expression, immediately went into assasin mode, his gaze changed instantly making him emit a powerful murderous intention as his fingernails grew longer and sharper.

He entered a state of heightened concentration in which he focuses fully to North.

"What power, who is this Hisoka?"

He then unconsciously steps backwards.

A voice started repeating in his head: Run away... run away... run away... run away....

"I must flee!"

But as he was about to leave, James hurrying out of the forest stopped a few yards away from him, feeling his violent nen, he began to shiver and jump back.

At which point James pointed to his badge and whispered.

"Give me your number."

"It's James! By my observations he's weaker than me how can he be so strong?! He wants my number. I can't run away. He'll probably catch me."

Killua in a state of fear took his badge and threw it away before fleeing in the opposite direction James immediately rushed in the direction of the badge giving Killua time to escape.

James jumped on the branch of a tree and retrieved Killua's number, his aura disappeared as he run to the east of the island, a few drops of sweat covered his forehead and his heartbeat quickened.

"Using the Ren is really tiring."

"I'm going to use the time I have left on this island to practice my Zetsu and my Ren."

At the same time Kyu, hiding behind a tree, see James coming further towards his location, smile, it was applicant 105, a man with short red hair, small eyes, and a distinctive mashed-in red nose.

He put Killua's number in one of his pockets before disappearing into the forest.

"Hehe I'm so lucky, I've stumbled upon my prey at the beginning of the test."

Hiding and controlling his breathing, he waited a moment and when James entred in his attack perimeter, he jumped towards him but even before launching his attack, he felt a strong pain in his cheek before fainting.

James took Kyu badge and looked at it before he threw it on the floor.

"This is useless to me."

He put Killua's number in one of his pockets before disappearing into the forest.

After James left, Pokkle, one of the exam candidates, equipped with a bow and arrows approached and picked up Kyu's number with a smile.

"This is my lucky day."He said before left.
