The Devil

When the elevator door opened.

Those applicants who had arrived at the venue earlier. After seeing someone coming.

All of them cast vigilant and alert eyes.

But after seeing the face of a certain person standing among the four people, they all fell silent.

"? ? ?"

That devil, why is he here again?!

The faces of some applicants could not help but change.

In fact, before the elevator door came down, they had already discussed this matter.

"Do you think that devil will come here this year!?"

"That's hard to say; Hisoka, the murderous demon, has come, and he will probably come too..." 

"He beat the examiner like that, and he can still take the exam?!"

"The Hunter Association disqualifies him, so let's not worry about it..." A group of applicants were whispering there.

A short and fat figure with a square nose sitting on a thick water pipe looked around carefully and then couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that there is a high probability that he will not come this year."

He touched the number plate on his chest.

In theory, as long as they are old applicant who have taken the Hunter Exam, their number plates will not be too far back.

Just like Hisoka, who also took the test last year and came to take the test again this year, he was number 33 last year and number 44 this year.

He's number 16, an old applicant who has participated in more than 30 hunter exams and is even better.

So, if that devil comes here to take the Hunter Exam again, he should be within the 100 or 200 numbers... 

"Fortunately, he didn't come!"

Tonpa let out a heavy breath.

Before he took this Hunter Exam, he had hesitated for a long time.

In the end, because of his perception of danger, he realized that this Hunter Exam should not be life-threatening.

So, in order to maintain his consistent participation record and crush the newcomer's dreams.

Tonpa gritted his teeth and participated in the hunter exam again.

Although he found that Hisoka had come again, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

However, when he still hadn't seen the guy who had left a huge psychological shadow on him and a deep impression on him, he gradually felt relieved.

And it also allowed him to have some leisure time and begin to observe the newcomers of this year.

"It seems that there are many incredible newcomers in this year's Hunter Exam..."

Tonpa's eyes kept moving around the applicants.

"Candidate No. 99 drank so many of my laxative drinks. Logically, even if he didn't have diarrhea, he would die of dehydration, but…"

He looked at the silver-haired boy with a skateboard under his arm with a complicated expression.

"He came to me for a drink as soon as he was thirsty, and he also said that the poison had no effect on him… He knew there was something wrong with the drink but still drank it; what kind of background did No. 99 have?!"

Then, he looked at applicant No. 301 who he couldn't see through and didn't dare to approach.

The man had a blue mohawk, ugly face, nails all over his face, purple skin, and long purple nails on his fingers.

Most importantly, his whole body trembled when he walked, as if it was about to fall apart.

His head made a clicking sound, and his face kept a weird and creepy smile…

Judging from his appearance alone, he was more terrifying than Hisoka, which intimidated Tonpa and made him shudder again. 

Of course, not all newcomers are intimidating. 

For example, applicant No. 294, not only the identity and occupation of the other party have been exposed, but also the purpose of the other party to participate in the Hunter Exam; he has already figured it out clearly. 

It's not that his intelligence ability is so outstanding, but…

"Do you know? In fact, I am a ninja, a senior ninja from the secret group in Jappon..." 

Under Tonpa's dead fish eyes, applicant No. 294 approached him and whispered his identity: "I came here to take the hunter license exam in order to find the Hermit's Scroll."

Well, from Tonpa's observation and judgment, this so-called ninja should not be spreading false news to confuse him.

But this guy simply can't control his mouth and talks a lot of nonsense that leaks secrets…

"But once this ninja gets serious, it's still quite scary…"

Tonpa still remembers that when he handed over the drink, this chatterbox ninja showed an extremely scary expression. 

Tonpa still remembers the bloodlust that he constantly released while saying that ninjas would not eat anything given by anyone. 

"Although he treats everyone kindly, once he encounters something that puts him in crisis, he will not hesitate to exude bloodlust and turn his face immediately…"

Tonpa has a new understanding of the ninja profession: "Is this a ninja." 

The above three are the new applicants who made him feel a little difficult to deal with this time. 

However, the one who made him feel the most unhappy was applicant No. 187, a guy with a face full of powder.

He couldn't help but glance at the fat guy who was sitting on the stone slab with his legs crossed, typing on the laptop and stroking his hair from time to time.

Applicant No. 187, Nicholas, was wearing a white shirt and suspenders, with a red bow tied around his collar.

He was a fat guy with a slicked-back face, a classy appearance, and a polite appearance, but he actually looked down on others. He seemed to have a strong sense of self-esteem and was very confident in himself.

The laptop he carried with him contained information about other applicants that he had collected and analyzed from various channels.

And from the analysis of the data, he inferred the location of the 287th Hunter Exam.

"But such a newcomer is more worth destroying!!"

Tonpa showed a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Squeak.

At this moment, the elevator door on the other side slowly opened.

"Are there any other applicants coming?"

Tonpa subconsciously looked over. The first three guys who came out were all faces he saw for the first time.

"Very good, it seems that they are all newcomers…

Just when he jumped off the water pipe and, he was about to take out the drink to do his old job again.

"Huh?!!!"

The last figure who came out made Tonpa's smile freeze on his face.

Not only the smile but also his body was frozen in track.

And then…

Bang!!

He fell straight from mid-air.

And because he was too frightened, he didn't adjust his body at all.

As a result, his fat face came into close contact with the ground.

He fell flat on his face.

But even so, Tonpa still didn't care. Instead, he was very frightened and looked at the man who walked out of the elevator.

"Lan…"

"Lan!!"

Not only Tonpa but also other applicants who noticed the movement here and kept an eye on the situation all looked up.

Then, after seeing the familiar faces, their expression changed.

"Why is he here again?!!"

"I knew that guy was here again!!"

"That devil…"
