The strongest magician who started as a hunter

Chapter 12 The test of willpower

Sachi, with disheveled hair, was using "Tangle", and the pace of his feet was much faster than that of Sam on the other end.

Most people can't keep up with his pace at all, and are even increasing slowly.

On the other hand, Sam on the other side would adjust his speed according to the candidates following him.

Although I don’t know if the two examiners did this intentionally, I understand...

Regarding "reading", it is not one of the assessment contents of the hunter exam.

"So how you choose should have nothing to do with whether the examiner is a person with the ability to read."

After thinking about it, You decided to follow Examiner Sachi who had the ability to read.

Instead, he switched his thoughts and spells and activated the "curse entanglement" state, and quickly followed the opponent's footsteps.

…

At the same time, Hisoka was still standing in the center of the venue, shrouded in darkness.

He glanced far away in the direction where You left with great interest.

With his keen perception of "Nian", Hisoka observed that the Qi around the boy's body had increased a lot compared to before, and the level of "Tang" was also more mature than on the ship.

In his excitement, he couldn't help but slide the tip of his tongue across his lips and muttered to himself:

"I haven't seen you for a few days...I have actually grown so much."

"It really is…"

"It surprised me~"

Hisoka did not choose the same path as You, but walked slowly towards the examiner Sam on the other side.

"I'm really looking forward to the day when I can taste the fruit..."

"……worry."

………

At the same moment,

You suddenly felt a cold breath pouring into his head, shuddered unconsciously, stopped and looked behind him.

At this moment, You was at the end of the team, with darkness behind him.

With his six-eye perception, he didn't detect a single figure within hundreds of meters behind him.

"Is it an illusion..."

You adjusted your state and started chasing the team again.

And when he returned to the team...

With the light lit by the examiner passing by not far ahead, a bloated middle-aged man at the end of the line noticed something strange about this young man.

"What's wrong? Newcomer."

As the middle-aged man ran, he moved closer to You and asked:

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Youwen looked over and saw that it was candidate No. 16, Dongba.

The character in the original work calls himself the "Newcomer Killer". Although he claims to be helpful to others on the surface, he is actually extremely obsessed with witnessing the moment when every newcomer's dream is shattered. To this end, he often uses some despicable means to deceive and eliminate newcomers.

He's a very annoying guy.

Thinking of this, Youye secretly complained: "Why do you feel that there are so many psychopaths in the Hunter World..."

At this moment, Dongba didn't realize that the boy was on guard against him, so he introduced himself:

"My name is Dongba. This is my 31st time taking the hunter exam this year. I am a veritable 'examination expert'."

"If you have any questions or difficulties, please feel free to ask me for help."

"After all, the reason why I haven't passed the hunter exam for so many years is because I like helping others too much.

Whenever I see someone new who needs support, I will lend a helping hand without hesitation... I am such a hopelessly kind guy. Dongba said with a smile.

Hearing this, I don't know how to complain.

"..."

If you don’t want to be a hunter, why don’t you become a hunter?

What a ridiculous statement.

Dongba asked: "Young man, what is your name?"

"worry."

The young man's indifferent response did not affect Dongba's continued efforts to pretend to be a good person.

Dongba took out a bottle of canned orange juice from his bag and handed it to You, pretending to be concerned and said:

"If you don't mind, would you like to drink a can of orange juice? In the first round of the exam every year, many candidates fall down halfway due to lack of physical strength... So sugar is a must during the exam."

"No."

"It's better for you to drink this kind of juice mixed with poison or laxatives yourself."

You didn't want to pay attention to this guy anymore, so he increased his speed slightly and chased towards the front of the team.

Seeing You's figure gradually disappearing, Dongba finally took off his disguise, his face full of disgust.

"Damn it, it's just a newcomer."

The other party's vigilance exceeded Dongba's expectations, but it also aroused his enthusiasm to trap the newcomers.

…

Five hours flew by in the blink of an eye.

You still maintained his position at the forefront of the team, but the number of candidates around him had been reduced from one to two hundred at the beginning to only a few dozen at the end.

As for Examiner Saatchi in front of him, he was running wildly and saying low-spirited words from time to time.

"Ah, so tired."

"It's obviously time to get off work..."

"Why haven't we reached the end yet?"

"Would you like to speed up a little more..."

"But if even a single candidate can't keep up with me, the president will definitely say that I'm too strict... and then I'll have to do it all over again..."

"That guy Sam...how could he choose this kind of assessment?"

Examiner Sachi's voice was surprisingly soft, in sharp contrast to Sam's loud voice before.

If you weren't following him very closely, and if you weren't in a "tangled" state, your five senses would have improved, otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear the other party's voice clearly.

However, I don't know why...

After listening to Examiner Sachi's frustrated words, Mr. You felt that... the other party might be easier to get close to than imagined.

…

In the blink of an eye, a few more hours passed.

Even You began to feel a little tired, his legs and body were like machines, numbly repeating running movements.

"This is not a test of endurance at all, but a test of willpower..."

At this moment of worry, looking at the still deep darkness before the light, I rarely feel a little desperate.

He even began to wonder if he had chosen the wrong path, and that the "correct" answer was Examiner Sam's direction.

Many candidates had this idea before and turned back.

But……

You also understand that walking alone in such deep darkness without the short-term light generated by the passing of the examiner is the greatest torture to the spirit and even the will...

Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help it and asked Examiner Sachi in front:

"Mr. Saatchi, is there really an exit from this road?"

"Eh...are you asking me?"

Sage slowed down slightly and turned back in the direction of the sound.

He looked at the white-haired boy who was only one meter away behind him. He didn't pay attention to the strange dress of the other person. After thinking about it, he gave an ambiguous answer.

"maybe."

"besides……"

"Don't speak so loudly to me in the future, or I'll judge you as unqualified."

After Sachi finished speaking, he turned back.

You looked helpless...

Fortunately, with his persistence, a few more hours passed.

You felt that the exit was not far away.

However, there was still darkness ahead, and the location where the exit was originally was completely covered by some heavy object.

…

Soon, Examiner Saatchi gradually stopped.

Looking at the dark hole in front of him, he took out a cigarette from somewhere, lit it with a lighter, and took a puff.

"Phew...it's blocked."
