The Beginning

Zaban City.

Once they had gotten money from a group of mafia, they quickly went to Zaban City, the location where the Hunter Exam was being held.

Unlike the modern Yorknew City, Zaban city was quite old and it was like they were in a different world.

"This is similar to a village," Charlotte said with a frown since she thought that this world was a modern world, but it seemed that wasn't the case.

"The rich country, of course, is modern, but the poor country, you should know it yourself, right?" Haru said.

"...That's true." Charlotte nodded with a sigh since she knew no matter where, as long as the country was poor then there wouldn't be any progress.

"However, it isn't bad since it feels more relaxing than Yorknew city," Shinobu said.

"Well, that's true." Haru looked around and said, "I can see the people in this place are happier than the people in Yorknew City."

Unlike Yorknew city which was a concrete jungle, Zaban city might be poor, but it was full of warmth.

After they came to this place, they needed to go directly to the location of the Hunter Exam, but then they wanted to be careful so there wouldn't be any incidents when they joined the Hunter Exam.

"So what are we going to do now?" Shinobu asked.

"Well, there are a lot of ways," Haru said.

"What is the first option?" Charlotte asked.

"The first is to visit the largest mafia organization in the city and we can pay them to guide us to the location of the Hunter Exam," Haru said.

"Why not join the pre-exam similar to the original story?" Shinobu asked.

"It's too troublesome. I am too lazy to join the pre-exam," Haru said.

Shinobu and Charlotte were stunned, but then they nodded.

Unlike the other participants, the three of them were very powerful.

"So what is the next option?" Charlotte asked.

"If we're lucky, then we might meet a familiar character and by then I can use my power to get the information of the Hunter Exam location from that character," Haru said.

"Let's use this method. We might be deceived by the mafia after all," Shinobu said.

"If they deceive us, then you can use your poison on them, Shinobu," Charlotte said.

Haru looked around from the beginning until the end.

"What have you been looking around for? Did you see a beautiful girl?" Shinobu asked.

Charlotte didn't say anything, but she also looked at Haru with a suspicious gaze.

"....."

"Did you doubt me that much?" Haru was speechless and said, "I am trying to find our target."

"Target?" 2x

Charlotte and Shinobu were confused.

But then, Haru smiled and said, "Oh, we have found our target."

Charlotte and Shinobu followed the gaze of Haru and they saw a short and stout man who seemed amiable and wore blue clothes. They quickly understood what Haru was trying to do and nodded at the same time.

"Good, what are we waiting for?"

---

After Haru, Charlotte, and Shinobu got the information that they wanted, they put the man in the alley before walking toward the Hunter Exam location.

"That guy's name is Tonpa, right?" Charlotte asked.

"Yeah. The hunter crusher, Tonpa," Haru said. He had to admit that Tonpa's character was quite fun and at the same time, it was unforgettable in the story of Hunter x Hunter. It was also the reason why he instantly found him on the street.

"So we're going to the exam directly?" Shinobu asked.

"Yeah. Let's visit that restaurant," Haru said.

They nodded and walked with him toward the restaurant where they would be guided to the Hunter Exam venue.

While walking they talked about the plot of Hunter x Hunter and talked about their quests.

First, they needed to join a Hunter Exam; second, they needed to become a hunter; third, they needed to become a hunter; fourth, they needed to join Heavens Arena; and lastly, they needed to become floor masters.

"I'm not sure if I can become a floor master," Charlotte said.

"No need to worry, the quest doesn't tell us how many of us need to become Floor Masters," Haru said.

Charlotte thought for a while and nodded, "I guess one person is possible, huh?"

"Hey, that's the restaurant," Shinobu said.

Haru nodded and said, "Let me prepare." He took a deep breath and his aura started to change.

When Haru's aura changed, the expression of the people in their surroundings started to change and their eyes felt shaken.

Haru used "Haoshoku Haki" since he felt that everyone who was following was too troublesome. He didn't make them faint, but he made them in haze and stunned since his aura made them think that they were in the presence of the king.

It might seem weird and conceptual, but in reality, it often happensed.

For example, when someone talked with someone who was poorer than themselves then they would be full of confidence, but when someone talked with someone who was very rich or had a lot of authority within a country then they would be nervous, but in Haru's case, it was several times stronger.

It happened to everyone who was looking at him at that moment.

Haru's existence was a harem protagonist and it was normal for him to be handsome, but then it was also troublesome, especially in the world of Hunter x Hunter.

If it was in his original world then no one dared to do anything, but in this world, life was cheap and as long as there was a chance to make money, everyone would do anything.

The weak were eaten and the strong ate everything.

It was the law of the jungle and how this world worked.

Shinobu and Charlotte didn't say too much and understood why Haru did this.

The three of them entered the restaurant directly and they were welcomed by the chef.

"Welco--"

The chef who maintained this restaurant stunned for a bit when he saw Haru since his aura was very special in his eyes.

"The steak combo that opens your eyes to the light. For three," Haru said.

"F - For three...." The chef quickly nodded and knew instantly they were coming for a Hunter Exam. He didn't expect that someone so special would come to this place. "Please wait in the back room."

"...."

Haru didn't expect that the chef would let them enter the venue of the Hunter Exam directly.

"Well, let's go."

Haru, Shinobu, and Charlotte didn't say too much and walked toward the back room before it started to descend and brought them to the venue of Hunter Exam.

"Hmm... I can't wait to learn Nen," Charlotte said with a smile.

Shinobu and Haru smiled and they also anticipated this Hunter Exam.
