Chapter 4: Trials

On the side of the street stood a slender young man, with supple blond hair over his ears, brown pupils, a ruby earring in his left ear, and a unique loose national costume, full of heroism in his androgynous appearance.

The young man was studying a map with his small suitcase at his feet, and he didn't notice two peepers in the restaurant not far behind him.

"Is that him, the new hunter?"

Heather asked with interest as she tossed the fork of the tomato pasta back on her plate.

Izenaby nodded, looking at Kurapika with a hint of scrutiny: "That's right, Kurapika, one of the seven people who passed the 287th Hunter Test. ”

Sure enough, it's Kurapika? It turns out that the legendary master in the comics who taught a master of the twelfth earthly branch level reading ability in half a year is you, Izenaby.

Heather stopped the waiter and called out a glass of chilled orange juice, and then asked his cheap master, "Anyway, every time the Hunter Guild will appoint senior hunters to conduct the final assessment of new hunters?" ”

"Yes, but not all new hunters can learn the ability to become a mind, it also depends on their own qualifications."

Izenabimo rubbed her stubble-covered chin with a wistful look.

"What if the qualifications are not good?"

"Then this person will probably not be able to learn the ability to read in his life. The ability to read is not just an effort to memorize ancient poems or articles, even if everyone has [qi] in their bodies, but the vast majority of people are unable to use it. ”

Hearing Izenaby's explanation, Heather looked slightly more meaningful: "So I'm one step closer to the finish line than the others?" I'm really talented. ”

"Don't be complacent, boy, even if you are born with the ability to read, but if you don't have a qualified teacher to guide you to open all the fine holes in your body, you still won't be able to learn the real ability to read."

Izenaby immediately spoke out against the pride of the cheap apprentice, and showed no mercy.

Heather waved her hand helplessly: "What a teacher who likes to show his presence...... Speaking of Mr. Kurapika, how are you going to evaluate him? ”

"Hmm...... Pretending to be an alcoholic to make a fuss in the town to attract its attention, and by the way, using the ability to think to play the town's thugs, how about this script? ”

Apparently this script is the work that Izenaby has spent a long time coming up with: "If this Kurapika has the qualifications to learn the ability to read, then he can surely see that the ability to read is unusual." Then I tested him for a few more days to see if he had enough patience and perseverance, and finally decided whether to teach him to learn to read. ”

Heather clapped expressionlessly.

Talent? Of course, this Kurapika is a talented, after all, he is the well-deserved second protagonist in the comic "Hunter X Hunter", and the popularity of the first protagonist is a super genius.

After only half a year of learning the ability to read, he was invited to join the [Twelve Earth Branches], which is only under the leader of the hunters, and he comprehensively beat the Phantom Brigade's strongest offensive and defensive ability to strengthen the telekinesis ability Wo Jin, and almost killed the Phantom Brigade Leader, in some ways, Izenabi is really a powerful teacher.

"Your script is really low, teacher."

Heather smiled: "Or...... Let me go and meet my preparatory junior for a while? ”

"You? You kid doesn't have a serious start, I don't want to see a new disciple get caught squatting because he beat a new hunter to death. ”

Izenaby looked disgusted: "If you have any ideas, just say it." ”

"Trust me, that's interesting, hehe...... Waiter, please give me a pen thank you. ”

…………

Kurapika folded the map and retracted it into her arms, looking into the distance with a confused gaze.

Three days ago, he had finally found the secret employment agency, hoping to get a suitable job, a job that would help him find the whereabouts of his clansman's [Fiery Red Eye].

But the strange woman sent herself away with a reason that was not tenable at allβ€”

[You can't see anything around me at all, can you? It seems that you are not a true hunter yet, when do you understand and come back! 】

Damn, isn't the hunter exam still over? What key things are you missing?

A preoccupied Kurapika walks down the street and inadvertently passes by the oncoming Heather.

Suddenly, Kurapika raised his head alertly and looked around slightly, and he felt a strong murderous intent against himself.

You can't fight on this crowded street, or you will definitely cause innocent casualties! Kurapika made up his mind in an instant, grabbed the suitcase and used his strength to quickly shuttle through the crowd, running towards the mountains and forests in the distance.

As expected, that killing intent locked on to him, and he followed.

The wind was mixed with the smell of earth, and the evening sunset was obscured by the gathering dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain soon. The pedestrians on the road hurried to their homes, but the beautiful young man with blond hair ran against the crowd towards the mountains and forests.

About 20 minutes later, a slightly sweaty Kurapika was standing in the middle of the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, the dim light making it difficult for him to see what lurked in the darkness around him.

"Follow me for a long time, get out!"

He pulled out two short knives from behind his broad national costume and held them tightly in his hands, his beautiful brown eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the darkness in the woods behind him.

Suddenly, a silver serpent of lightning streaked across the sky, and a few seconds later there was a sound of rolling thunder and fine raindrops.

With the instantaneous light of the lightning, Kurapika saw a figure crouching on a towering tree branch not far away.

The slightly curly half-length black hair tightly covered his forehead and eyebrows, and the large black mirror framed on the bridge of his nose made it difficult to see his face, and the strong murderous aura that bit him was undoubtedly from this person, and the slightly shabby handyman uniform did not reduce his sense of presence but made this person even more dangerous.

Without the light of lightning, darkness once again covered the woods.

"Ahh

A gloomy voice slipped out of the darkness, full of malice:

"If you're that weak, that's a big help."

Prove? Kurapika subconsciously touched the pocket on the inside of her clothes, and the hunter proved that she was gone! When?

"Whoever you are, please return the Hunter Certificate immediately! Otherwise, I'll have to resort to force to solve the problem! ”

Kurapika lowered his body slightly, and the two knives opened up one after the other. Even though the rain was getting heavier and heavier to interfere with her vision, Kurapika didn't dare to let her guard down, and still stared at the darkness in the woods.

He always maintains a keen sense but is still stolen without knowing it, and the hunter proves that this guy is not simple!

In the heavy rain, the strange man in the handyman uniform casually threw the hunter card in his hand up and down, and slowly walked out of the darkness:

"Now that the heads and licenses of professional hunters on the black market are worth a lot of money, it seems that the brigade has another extra money to earn."

Kurapika's eyes suddenly froze, and then her brown eyes instantly turned a fiery red like fire!

I saw this strange man with his arms sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his right forearm wrapped in bandages, and spider-shaped tattoos were revealed between some scattered bandages! Although the light and heavy rain obscured the view, it was absolutely true, the number in the center of the spider tattoo was [6]!

"I'll only ask you once......"

With a bang, the red-eyed Kurapika raised his knives, and his voice was cold and ruthless: "You are a member of the Phantom Brigade?" ”

Heather looked down and smiled indifferently, "Oh, it's a tattoo?" I thought it was wrapped tightly with a bandage. Anyway, you have a ...... with our Phantom Brigade."

Before he finished speaking, Heather's head tilted, and he could avoid the two sword lights that crossed over!

A precise kick on the blade of the blade that slashed down again, the sharp blade seemed to slash at the oily, tough thick leather! With the help of the recoil, the two jumped a few meters back and confronted each other in the heavy rain.

"Is this a breakdown of negotiations?"

Heather took off her black-rimmed glasses and carefully placed them in her jacket pocket, wiping her soaked slightly curly black hair back, revealing his true face.

It seems to be a peerless beautiful boy who walked out of a girl's dream, and there is no feminine delicacy on the incomparably handsome face, some are just male males as blazing as the sun, and the facial features can clearly be seen to be yellow, but the deep and three-dimensional facial features make people unable to take their eyes off. The two eyebrows are like straight long swords, and the eyes are as bright as a galaxy, which is really the perfect interpretation of [Sword Eyebrows and Stars].

Even Kurapika, who was in a hostile state, lost his mind for a moment. Don't get me wrong, Kurapika definitely doesn't have a problem with his sexual orientation, but even as a man and has been nurtured by his beauty in the mirror all year round, he has to sigh secretly - you still don't let other men live?

"Look at the, blonde sissy! If you want to fight, you want to stand there and stare me to death? ”

Tsk, one mouth is broken! is blind in this prosperous world, but unfortunately he is not a dumb person.

Kurapika reined in his heart and said in a cold tone: "When I catch you, I will make you honestly reveal all the information of the Phantom Brigade!" ”

Violent splashes of water and mud burst under his feet, and the blue figure rushed towards Heather with two sword lights, and the two short knives aimed at Heather's elbow joint. Heather's fist seemed to be covered with invisible armor, and he smirked and blasted at the incoming Kurapika.

…………

Dressed in a white martial arts uniform, Izenaby walked in the direction of the woods at the appointed time.

The rain was heavy, and for a time the entire mountain forest seemed to be covered by a curtain of water.

After walking a short distance, I was greeted by a mess of battlefields.

The surrounding trees were broken and broken, and the lodging was lodging, and the trunks and ground were littered with knife scratches and small pits. Kurapika fell to her knees and looked dazed, while Heather sat on a tree trunk that had fallen to the ground with her legs crossed, humming a song that no one could understand.

"How come, how can the gap be so big......"

Kurapika looked incredulous, there were no obvious wounds on his body, but the two short knives were all broken and scattered all over the ground, and it seemed that the trauma was more serious than the physical wounds.

Eznaby raised her eyebrows, good job, Heather, kid. He turned his head to look at Heather, and was about to say a few words, but he was stunned.

, handsome guy, who are you?

"Yo! Head! ”

Seeing that Master Cheap was coming, Heather smiled and waved his hand at Izenaby, and then said to Kurapika in a strange manner: "This little brother, your good fortune is here, the commander of our Phantom Brigade will personally come to kill you, hurry up and pout!" ”

That's right, this...... Definitely Heather! Izenaby was relieved at this time, it turned out that it wasn't the cheap apprentice who was dropped.

Head? Kurapika turned to look at Izenaby, her clenched fists pale in the rain. I can't even beat the regimental members, how can I defeat the regimental commander...... Damn, I'm still too weak.

Looking at the gloomy Kurapika, Izenaby scratched his head, Heather, this kid has gone a little too far, I asked you to suppress it a little and didn't let you crush him directly.

Izenaby hooked his hand at Heather, who reluctantly tossed him the Hunter Pass.

"Don't worry, it's just Heather's prank."

Izenaby walked up to Kurapika who was kneeling on the ground, crouched down and looked at the blonde boy in front of him: "But you still don't seem to realize what you're missing. ”

Kurapika's eyes gradually condensed: "You, you are not the Phantom Brigade?" ”

He was afraid that the members of the brigade were deliberately teasing and humiliating him, but when he turned his head, he found that the bandage on Heather's arm was blackened with ink, and the original spider tattoo had disappeared under the rain.

"You are...... Hunter? ”

At this time, Kurapika finally found that he was being teased, but he didn't have the energy or time to be annoyed, but seized the opportunity to quickly ask: "When I fought this person just now, his body seemed to be entangled with something unknown, which is definitely what is necessary to become a real hunter!" Please let me know! ”

Izenaby glanced at Heather, who shrugged his shoulders: "Don't look at me, I didn't say anything, he found it all out on his own." ”

"You are aware of the existence of Nian, which means that you have the qualifications, the qualifications to learn Nian."

Izenaby stood up and held out his hand to Kurapika, who was still on his knees.

"Read?"

Kurapika took Izenaby's hand, stood up with strength, and looked at Izenaby with burning eyes:

"Please teach me this move called [Nian]! No matter what the conditions and requirements, I will definitely complete it! ”

"It's good to have this unwavering determination. Truth be told, your encounter with me was not accidental. ”

Izenabi didn't talk nonsense, picked up his bags and took the lead towards the depths of the mountain forest: "I can teach you how to develop and use [Nian], but the process will be very difficult, you have to be mentally prepared. I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Izenaby, and I'm a Hunter like you. ”

"My name is Kurapika, please advise!"

Kurapika didn't bother to pick up the fragments of the twin knives scattered on the ground, picked up the suitcase that had fallen to the side and followed behind Izenaby with Heather: "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Heather, it's OK to call me senior brother."

Heather's smile was bright: "Please advise, little cool!" ”
