Chapter 45: Sports Meet!
Up to chapter 82 is available at my Patreon. com/0DayDream0
===========
"As you can see, this is the equipment I prepared specifically for this sports meet!"
The principal on the loudspeaker spoke passionately:
"Dear students, no, dear candidates, what you have in front of you are some of the common events in sports meets."
"For example, basketball, badminton, table tennis, track and field, hurdles, high jump, long jump, shot put, hammer throw, javelin, relay and other events."
"And the assessment and the way to pass it are very simple, that is..."
The loudspeaker suddenly became louder: "Get excellent rankings in these competitions!!"
"Students with excellent grades will be able to pass this first round of examing very easily."
"You can even pass the exam early and then be a cheerleader on the sidelines, cheering for the candidates who haven't passed yet!"
"As for how to get an excellent ranking, of course, you must first choose the event you want to compete in!!"
The voice of the principal on the loudspeaker suddenly became serious:
"Because there are many sports to be carried out, our time is very precious."
"Five minutes!!"
"You have five minutes to choose the event you want to participate in."
"When the time is up, whichever sports event you are standing next to, that's the sport you will be participating in!"
"Okay, without further ado, let's start choosing!"
Didi. Didi. Didi.
The clear sound of the ticking second hand was transmitted to the ears of every candidate through the loudspeaker.
In an instant, the whole place became noisy.
"You can choose a sport that suits you according to your own situation, right?"
Lan did not set off immediately. For him, it didn't matter which event he participated in.
He first observed the choices made by other candidates.
For example, the heavyweight athlete Toda, who was a little fatter, stood directly next to the shot put.
Greta, who was good at blowguns and was extremely good at shooting, naturally chose archery.
Mercenary Goz, holding a spear, stood next to the javelin with the belief that he would win.
The martial artist Bodoro chose hurdling… Does he think he is physically fit?
As for Tonpa, he hid aside and watched Lan silently while also paying attention to Hisoka, who was leisurely arranging and playing cards there.
Waiting to see what choice they both make.
"I absolutely do not want to be in the same sport with these two!!"
There are many candidates who have not yet taken any action, just like Tonpa and Lan.
They did not make a choice immediately but quietly observed the movements of other candidates.
It was not until the end of the five minutes that they made the most appropriate choice based on the circumstances of each sport.
For example, in the Relay Race chosen by the three Amori brothers, very few people participate.
After all, everyone knows that with the tacit understanding among the three brothers, they are basically invincible in this kind of relay race.
And when the time is almost over.
Hisoka and Lan finally made their choice.
Hisoka walks towards the table tennis table.
"Ping-pong?"
Lan took one look and then looked away.
He did not doubt Hisoka's ability. With his strength, he would basically win no matter what event he chose.
As for table tennis, it is quite suitable for his Nen ability, Elastic Love.
He can turn his nen into chewing gum and stick it to the enemy, thereby restricting their movements.
It can not only stick to the enemy, but also to objects in his hand, such as a ping-pong ball.
So, on this small desktop, it can be said that everything is almost under his control.
It can also be said that he will play around with his opponents.
This is also in line with his mentality of playing tricks on his opponents…
"That's it."
Lan walked to a venue with a few people and picked up the racket provided on the table nearby.
"Not bad."
After waving the tennis racket in his hand slightly, Lan nodded with satisfaction.
"Ping-pong and tennis?"
Seeing this, Tonpa, who had been standing nearby, was relieved.
In this way, he can stand next to the sports event with peace of mind.
"Looking at their body shapes, it's clear that neither of them is a power-type player."
He comforted himself in this way and felt fortunate for his choice.
"Okay, time's up!!"
As soon as the five minutes were up, the broadcast from the loudspeaker stopped instantly.
"Candidates No. 367, 372, and 378, since you are in a position where you cannot determine the sport you have chosen, you will be considered to have given up and will be eliminated directly!"
The originally passionate voice now sounded so cruel and ruthless in everyone's ears.
"Eh?!"
Three candidates who found the venue near the end of the exam and were too hesitant to make a choice now looked pale.
They opened their mouths quickly, wanting to say something.
But.
"Get out!!"
On the loudspeaker, the principal's majestic voice, mixed with a certain power and unquestionable tone, sounded domineering.
The three candidates said nothing in the end. They all hung their heads and walked out of the venue's gate dejectedly.
"This is actually a good thing for them."
Some candidates watched coldly, while others shook their heads.
In the following Hunter Exam, there are dangers lurking everywhere, and they may face danger at any time.
Rather than losing your life there, it is better to quit now.
