I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

About half an hour later.

Beans came to Moses's room and brought two newly-made zero number plate of the same model.

"These are the results of the selection phase."

At Moses's signal, Beans placed two number plates on the coffee table, then handed over the final list of teams to Moses.

Taking the list from Beans, Moses lowered his head and glanced at it.

The first names that caught his eye are the first team's members, namely Hisoka, Kurapika, Hanzo, and Raizo.

Moses knew the first three well, but Raizo was a character who didn't appear in the original work.

However, he still had a deep impression of this examinee. He was a samurai who used a katana as his weapon. He's the one who killed the unlucky examinee whose arms were removed by Hisoka in the underground passage before the start of the Hunter Exam. His strength was quite outstanding.

It was within Moses's expectations that the top-ranked examinees forming a team.

What he hadn't anticipated, however…

'That guy Hisoka actually chose Kurapika?'

'I thought he would choose Gon.'

Moses was genuinely surprised.

But considering that Hisoka himself is a guy with twisted sense of humor, it suddenly made more sense.

After all, Hisoka has already revealed his identity as a member of the Phantom Troupe in front of Kurapika, and he also knows that Kurapika is a survivor of the Kurta Clan.

With these facts, it was easy to see why Hisoka would choose Kurapika as a teammate, which is likely just to amuse himself.

'Looks like Little Apple is having his fun.'

Moses shook his head slightly and looked at the second team, whose members are Killua, Gon, Geretta, and Leorio.

Geretta, who targeted Gon in the number plate snatching test in the original work, actually teamed up with Gon this time.

'I guess he was impressed by Killua's strength.'

The third team consisted of Goz, Bodoro, Shishito, and Agon.

In the original work, Goz was Illumi's target. This man seemed to want to fight with Hisoka, so he dragged his seriously injured body to find Hisoka, but was ignored by Hisoka and eventually died with endless regret.

Agon was equally unlucky, meeting his ends at Hisoka's hands. While Shishito lost to the three brothers.

'These people are ranked relatively high, so it is natural that they form a team.'

The fourth team is also very interesting. The players are Pokkle, Ponzu, Bourbon, and Urtaido.

Although Pokkle uses bows and arrows as weapons, he laced his arrows with poison.

Ponzu and Bourbon each controlled venomous insects: one with bees, the other with snakes.

As for Urtaido, he is a man with heavy dark circles under his eyes. He's the one who used a Polaroid camera to embarrassed Hanzo in public. Like the samurai, Raizo, Urtaido did not appear in the original work.

If Moses remembered correctly, Urtaido had also used smoke poison bombs during the.

'In other words, the fourth team is completely a poison-using team.'

As for the fifth team, it consisted of the three brothers and the monkey trainer, Sommy.

The remaining examinees made up the sixth team.

After taking a general look at the team situation, Moses couldn't help but smile.

The results of this division were more interesting than he had expected.

He originally thought that since there is 'no limit on the number of teams' rule, the 24 examinees would not necessarily be divided into six teams, and there might be a seventh and eighth team.

However, they'd ended up with a neat six teams.

"Now we just wait for the airship to arrive. I wonder what kind of island the captain has in store for us."

Moses set down the list and looked over at Beans who was standing silently beside him.

"Beans, are the signal transmitter and locator ready?"

"Um."

Beans responded.

In order to make it easier for examinees to locate the location of his number plates at any time, Moses had thoughtfully prepared locators that could pick up the number plate's signals.

In Beans opinion, Moses really provides many conveniences to the examinees.

Correspondingly, it also increased the difficulty for Moses to perform his duties as an examiner.

However, Beans had full confidence in Moses and wasn't too concerned.

"All set."

Moses showed a slight smile, and suddenly thought of Netero, whose shadow he had not seen for a long time, so he asked casually: "By the way, where's Chairman Netero?"

"Uh…"

Beans was at a loss.

At this time-

Netero set his sights on two boys who were exploring the airship.

"So six teams competing for the three number plates on Moses? Ho ho, sounds like fun."

Netero, who already knew the test content for the third phase, muttered to himself.

However, his main interest at the moment was amusement, and he slowly set his gaze on Killua and Gon in the distance.

Time passes-

By noon the next day, the airship landed on an island called Bororu.

Before the airship landed, Moses took a moment to look at the topography of the island. Looking from above, the island's outline was roughly like this:

O—O

It resembled two islands, A and B, connected by a rocky pathway.

Moses then decided to send two shadow clones onto one of the islands.

Since Island A and Island B are separated by a long distance, if the separated shadow clone is too far away from the original body, they will be greatly weakened.

In other words-

Before the test begins, if anyone can get a locator that matches the shadow clone's number plate, they'd essentially have hit the jackpot.

"Luck is also part of strength."

Moses was the first to get off the airship, and then he walked straight towards the dense forest in the distance.

Behind him, the six teams were preparing for a lottery draw.

Upon learning about the locator, the examinees couldn't help but glance at Moses as he walked away.

'Isn't this examiner... too generous?'

The examinees were thinking in amazement.

Not only was the test format relatively friendly, but they also received locators to track their targets...

It's hard to believe this was the Hunter Exam.

Beans stood by the lottery box and said, "Please note, there are three types of locators: one with a red casing, one with yellow, and one with green. There are two of each types."

"Is there any difference between these three locators?"

Pokkle asked out loud.

"There is a difference."

Beans raised three fingers and explained, "The colors represent difficulty levels: red is the hardest, followed by yellow, and then green."

"Does that mean the number plates are separated?"

As soon as Beans finished speaking, another examinee asked.

Beans nodded and continued to explain:

"Yes, red is linked to the examiner himself, while yellow and green linked to decoys with identical appearances as the examiner, but clear difference in strength. In addition, the team with the highest overall ranking has the privilege of directly selecting the locator."

"Great!"

After hearing the explanation from Beans, Hanzo couldn't help but exclaimed with a look of joy on his face.

For highly ranked candidates like them, this third test was practically a guaranteed pass!

Other examinees, like Pokkle, frowned at Hanzo's undisguised glee.

'This damn scoring and ranking mechanism gives too much advantage to those at the top.'

Beans looked at Hisoka, made an invitation gesture, and said, "Candidate No. 144, it is up to you to decide which locator you would like to get."

"Hisoka, pick the green one."

Hanzo interrupted to remind Hisoka.

With the combined strength of their team, as long as they choose the green difficulty, they will definitely pass the third phase.

Hisoka glanced at the very excited Hanzo and lazily replied, "My lucky color is red, so let's go with red ♡."

"?"

The smile on Hanzo's face suddenly froze.

Beans then handed one of the red locators to Hisoka.

Kurapika remained expressionless, indifferent to Hisoka's choice, while Raizo, the last person in their team, looked unfazed, as if he'd expected it.

In Raizo's opinion, Hisoka is undoubtedly strong, and strong people should face challenges head-on.

Of course.

Hanzo's strength is not weak either, but as a ninja, his style of doing things tends to avoid more difficult head-on combat.

To be honest, Raizo looked down a bit on the ninja style.

On the contrary, Hisoka's style is very much in line with his wishes.

If Raizo knew that Hisoka planned to find a random place to nap after arriving on the island...

That admiration would vanish instantly.
