The strongest magician who started as a hunter

a long time,

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The two white-haired teenagers were facing each other in silence with complicated expressions.

"Why did you come to this judgment?" You asked with a speechless face.

Hearing this, Killua did not speak, but raised his head slightly and focused his gaze on his snow-white hair.

"..."

Seeing this, You probably understood Killua's brain circuit.

He opened his mouth and tried to explain something, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know how to explain it, so he swallowed the words in his stomach.

Thinking back to all his previous actions, coupled with the white hair that is not much different from the other party...

You feel that except for paternity testing, all other verification methods will be pale and feeble.

And doing so...may not meet Killua's expectations. The truth would be too cruel to him.

…

Looking at You's hesitant reaction, Killua's eyes became more determined, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It can't be wrong..."

Killua is already convinced that the other person must be his father's illegitimate son.

If not, how can you explain that the other person behaved so familiarly with you when they first met and knew all your information?

At the same time, why does he take such good care of himself despite being so powerful?

All kinds of questions that had been accumulated for a long time seemed to be solved easily when faced with the answers in front of them.

…

A few minutes later,

Looking at Killua's increasingly expectant eyes, after careful consideration, he decided to accept this cheap younger brother.

"I really lost to you..."

Worry let out a sigh of relief.

"It's almost as you guessed..."

As he spoke, You covered his wig and hat on his head and told Killua:

"However, remember not to expose our relationship to outsiders in the future... Do you understand?"

"Yeah, of course I understand."

Killua nodded sensibly and agreed without asking more about the reason.

Now that he has been acknowledged by the other party, Killua easily accepts this situation that has been rehearsed in his mind.

Have you got an extra brother?…

Killua looked at You's face and judged secretly:

"Looking at his age, he seems to be about the same age as Mi Ji. They are both thirteen or fourteen years old. He is about six years younger than his eldest brother Illumi."

"If you look at it this way, I am not actually the third in the family, I should actually be the fourth, right?"

"Furthermore, if we think backwards, dad should have been at that time..."

You watched Killua suddenly lower his head, showing the look of a great detective speculating on the case, and couldn't help but ask:

"What are you trying to figure out?"

"It's nothing, Third Brother." Killua said casually.

"..."

Worry suddenly filled his face with black lines.

He suddenly regretted that he had recognized this cheap brother with a strange mind so easily.

However, although there are factors of coincidence in the development so far, since Killua already treats him as his brother.

You don't mind that as an elder brother, you have to worry about this troubled brother.

"That mysterious person... could it be Illumi..."

You Momo recalled the guy with a gloomy aura that he had detected earlier, and now that he thought about it, he was somewhat similar to Killua when he was serious.

In other words, that is the special temperament unique to assassins.

There is a high probability that it is not Illumi...that is, a killer sent by the enemy to beat up the enemy.

Basically there are only two possibilities.

When mentioning Illumi, the cold image of a black-haired beauty could not help but appear in your mind.

Just by imagining it, You could guess how Illumi would react if he learned that Killua recognized a brother outside.

I believe that with Illumi's temperament, regardless of whether the information is true or false, his first reaction will probably be to kill him.

After all, in Illumi's heart, Killua has always been his most cherished... chess piece?

无论是为了揍敌客家主切实的权利，还是因为自己扭曲的性格，和对奇犽扭曲的爱，乃至后续为了能牢牢掌控‘拿尼嘉’。

With the blessing of many reasons...

With Illumi's extremely control-freak character, he will never allow a second person besides himself to influence Killua's thoughts and actions.

So assassination is inevitable.

Of course, as for whether Illumi can really kill him... From You's point of view, this is not something that needs to be worried too much.

After all, Illumi's attack methods, whether it is mind needles or his superb assassination techniques, are perfectly restrained by the "unlimited technique".

Unless Illumi has the ability to use 'Nanija', it is basically impossible for him to pose any threat to himself.

Thinking of this, You also looked at Killua thoughtfully, feeling that it was indeed necessary to ensure his physical and mental health.

Once the fate of future generations changed, Naniga was not taken away smoothly by Killua. Instead, he and Killua fell into the hands of his eldest brother Illumi...

Then the consequences will be disastrous.

Although You really want to teach Killua his mental abilities to help him break through the shackles in his heart, this will greatly affect the direction of the subsequent plot and produce an unpredictable butterfly effect.

However, from worry's perspective...

As long as Killua can meet Gon, even if the experience may change midway, the final result should not change much.

So, he showed Killua his hunter's license.

…

In the room, Killua played with the card with the Hunter Association logo on it. He didn't seem to be very interested in it and said casually:

"Looks very ordinary, hunter's license..."

"Although I feel the same way, whether you can pass the test...it's hard to say yet."

You responded: "The hunter exam may be more difficult than you think."

Hearing this, Killua was a little dissatisfied and clicked his tongue without saying much.

Later, You also explained his plan to Killua:

"If nothing else happens, I should be leaving here in a few days."

"Where to go?"

"Not sure, it could be anywhere."

You said, thinking of the dark continent that contained endless terror, and said sincerely:

"The only thing I can be sure of now is that with you now...if you can't break through the shackles in your heart, the gap between you and me will only get wider and wider, and it will definitely be impossible to keep up with me."

"..."

Killua was silent, his head hanging unconsciously.

He knew what he feared in his heart, but he still couldn't overcome it, or rather...

There is simply no way to overcome it.

That kind of fear goes straight to the bone marrow and penetrates deeply into cognition and thinking.

According to the teachings of his eldest brother Illumi, that is his nature... he will be cowardly in the face of strong enemies, and he will abandon his friends and run away alone because of danger.

Killua even began to accept his cowardice, and always followed his elder brother's philosophy, never making friends, and his temperament gradually became withdrawn.

You also understand this.

In his opinion, only when Killua finds an existence that he can truly cherish, and is even willing to give his life for it... can Killua hope to overcome the fear in his heart and pull out the mind needle left by Illumi in his mind.

And such a being would obviously not be him.

Only Xiaojie.

So, after waiting for a long time, You came to Killua, raised his hand and rubbed his fluffy white hair, and said:

"Four years later, when you turn twelve, I will probably take the initiative to apply for an exam position... If you are not convinced, come and sign up for the exam then and let me see how far you have grown."

"If you can pass the assessment by then, I can unconditionally agree to your request."

After finishing his words, Killua instantly regained some composure, raised his head and said:

"Don't regret it!"

Seeing Killua's fighting spirit being ignited, You really didn't expect his promise to be so effective, and then smiled lightly:

"Well, it's a deal."

At this moment, You suddenly understood...why Illumi had a soft spot for Killua, a child.
