The 1999 Hunter Exam

In a dilapidated small building.

"It's time to go."

The tall man in a suit and small round sunglasses took a last look at the empty, narrow room.

He pushed his glasses, put all the books and basic medicines in his briefcase, picked it up, and turned around without any reluctance.

"Wait, Pietro, I will become a doctor and realize my dream!"

"And getting a hunter's license for medical university's exemption for tuition is the third step to realize our dream!!"

He raised his head and chest; there was nothing else in his eyes, only the determination to risk his life and everything and to move forward.

In an unknown forest on the other side.

Once, this place was famous for the massacre of the Kurta Clan.

But now, it has become desolate and dilapidated.

At the entrance of the forest, a handsome and blond boy, whose gender is difficult to distinguish, knelt at the entrance, and whispered softly: "The sun upon my face, the grass beneath my feet. My skin cleansed by the water of a lake."

"My spirit soars among the clouds, my path illuminated by the moon and stars. I honor my ancestors for bringing me to this place and defend my brethren with my dying breath. I will step forward to humbly share in their joy and carry the burden of their sorrows..."

The earring on the left ear swayed gently in the wind, and the orange-blue clothes on the body swayed with it.

"By my word and deed, their name will live on… For my Scarlet Eyes and my blood are one with theirs… I will take up the mantle and accept any wrongdoing I commit to preserve the Kurta people until we are redeemed forever.."

After reciting the last prayer, the boy's eyes suddenly opened.

A pair of scarlet eyes, breathtakingly beautiful and incomparable.

It is also the only pair of eyes in the world that are full of emotions.

"I'm leaving, elders, father, mother, and Pairo."

The blond boy slowly stood up and bowed deeply again at the entrance of the forest.

Then, he turned around and resolutely embarked on the journey of revenge.

The lonely back and the heavy hatred he carried made his body look particularly small at this time.

On the other side, in the big city that formed a sharp contrast with the lonely and desolate forest.

The lights were bright, and the neon lights flashed particularly dazzlingly.

Young men and women in fashionable clothes were laughing and enjoying their nightlife.

But they didn't notice the short figure that quietly passed by them.

"Hunter Exam?"

The boy stopped at the window of the home appliance store and looked at the hunter's license advertised on the TV screen.

"It seems that there is no place to go for the time being..."

Originally, he ran away from home and didn't know what to do next. He seemed to have found three goals at this moment.

"Let's go there and have some fun."

The head of silver hair was particularly dazzling under the flickering lights.

While he was planning his next course of action.

A fighter's room in the Heavens Arena

"It seems that I have one more reason to participate in this Hunter Exam."

Listening to the crazy and neurotic voice of his mother coming from the phone, Illumi tilted his head slightly.

"It just so happens that my next commission also requires a hunter's license."

"Let's complete the two things together."

After saying that, he looked at the motionless figure holding a notice letter sitting on the bed next to him.

"What do you say? Will you go this year?"

"Yes, of course, I will go."

Putting down Kastro's letter of challenge, Hisoka slowly raised his head.

The corners of his mouth had already drawn a huge arc unconsciously.

"It's really unexpected that the fruits planted in the past have matured in almost the same period of time!!"

"It seems that this year is really the harvest season, hehe…"

Hisoka was crazy there, and Illumi was already used to this kind of routine.

But he didn't care about this thing: "This year, will the man named Lan come?"

"Yes, he will definitely come..."

When this name was mentioned, Hisoka's body trembled again.

It was the kind of excitement to the critical point, and his body couldn't help trembling: "He promised me that he would come this year."

"Is that so?"

Illumi also put his index finger on his chin: "Then it seems that I have to take some precautions."

"This man has his own secrets, and he beat up the examiner last year. If he gets angry again this year, maybe I will get hurt too..." 

"That includes you, Hisoka." 

Illumi looked at Hisoka and kindly reminded him: "Do you need my help? The price is very fair..."

Whoosh!! 

Before he finished speaking, two playing cards flew by his side. "He is my prey..." 

In the gap where Illumi's cut hair fell, Hisoka's extremely perverted and aggressive eyes were revealed: "No one is allowed to take him away!!" 

In another dense forest in the wilderness, there was someone who had a similar understanding as Hisoka. 

"This year's Hunter Exam, you wait for me!!" In the silent night, a roar came from the jungle. 

Clang!! 

The sound of the machete falling to the ground was particularly harsh. "Lan, this time, I must avenge my previous shame and tear you into pieces with my own hands!"

Under the moonlight, the scars and marks on the man's face were revealed.

"Just rely on the sword skills I have practiced in the past six months!!!"

The familiar hunter dress that has never changed reveals that he has not forgotten the shame of the past!

"Wait for me, Lan!"

"I will get rid of you in this Hunter Exam!"

The low roar full of hatred resounded in the forest. 

The hatred of the beating back then is irreconcilable and unforgettable!!

And on that distant Whale Island.

The fishing float that had been silent in the middle of the lake finally moved, attracting the attention of the hedgehog-headed boy who had been watching the fishing for a long time on the treetop.

Then…

Splash!

The fishing float and the fishing line suddenly sank into the lake, carrying a huge force as if to overturn everything.

However, the boy sitting on the tree showed an extremely happy and innocent smile.

"Got it!!"

Accompanied by that cheerful shout, he exerted force on his hands, and his two thin arms suddenly exerted force.

Instantly, a hideous fish with several strange lower limbs was pulled out of the lake by the hedgehog-headed boy.

"Success! I caught the Master of the Swamp!"

"I can go to the Hunter Exam!!!"

A heartfelt laugh resounded through the sky, and the joy in his heart was shared with most of the animals in the forest.

Under the leadership of the Foxbear, they all howl in congratulations.

Under those howls, the 1999 Hunter Exam officially kicked off.

The headquarters building of the Hunter Association.

"It's going to start again this year."

In the Chairman's office, Mr. Netero looked at the registration information form that he had specially asked to hand over.

Looking at the familiar name and information on it, he stroked his beard and smiled particularly happily.

"Let me see how much you have improved after not seeing you for a year."
