The next morning.
Although the Hunter Association's exam had concluded, the examiners hadn't left early. Instead, they gathered in a room, reminiscing about the battle between the two candidates yesterday.
"Speaking of which, that candidate Number 44... his name is Hisoka, right?"
Fox lay lazily on the sofa and said casually: "That guy's strength is completely above mine. If he wanted to, he could easily get his license next year..."
"Fortunately, my task for this year is done. Even if that guy comes to take the exam next year, I won't run into him."
"That guy's fun isn't in the assessment at all..."
Satchi and Sam spoke at the same time, saying in unison, though it was mostly Sam's voice:
"That Hisoka... based on my experience as a Blacklist Hunter, his main purpose is to come for 'hunting' or to kill time. As for getting a Hunter License... to him, it's probably just something incidental."
Sam turned to Netero beside him and asked:
"Chairman, are guys like Hisoka common in the past?"
"It's okay..."
Netero took a sip of hot tea and said casually:
"Candidates of this level this year, actually, we meet a few every one or two years. Most of them are people who have learned 'Nen abilities' through various connections, skipping the identity of a Hunter, and come to get a license for convenience."
"However, an existence like that boy... is rare."
What Netero referred to was naturally the Nen ability displayed by the boy at that time... which obviously had an effect similar to 'Nen Exorcism', proving that he had the potential to become a 'Nen Exorcist'.
Such a Nen ability.
Although it might not be very helpful in combat, and even if it could 'exorcise Nen', it often came with huge risks.
But when dealing with many complex and tricky situations, it was the most indispensable existence. After all, even in the Hunter Association, Nen users capable of 'Nen Exorcism' were extremely rare.
"By the way, where did Bisky go?"
In the room, Fox suddenly asked casually, and soon got a reply from Sam beside him:
"If I guessed correctly... she should have gone to find that boy."
...
At this moment, in the infirmary.
Yuu slowly sat up straight on the hospital bed, looked down and saw that his injuries had been treated and he was wrapped in bandages.
And beside him sat a familiar blonde girl.
Bisky.
"Why is she here..." Yuu muttered in his heart, looking puzzled.
Although he had a deep impression of Bisky in the appearance of a young girl in front of him, he still pretended to meet her for the first time, clutching his head and asking:
"You are...?"
Hearing this, Bisky also smiled and said:
"Let me introduce myself briefly. I am Biscuit Krueger, a 2-Star Stone Hunter of the Hunter Association, and I served as the examiner for the second phase of the exam before."
"Although I introduced myself at that time, we didn't have much contact, so it's normal that you don't remember."
"Hello, I am Yuu Gojo." Yuu nodded politely and introduced himself briefly.
After speaking, he tried to get out of bed sideways, but with a slight movement, severe pain swept through his body like a tide.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet. If you want to move around, you need to rest for at least half a month," Bisky reminded.
Saying this, she also handed over an exquisite box. After opening it, inside was a card printed with the Hunter Association logo.
"This is your Hunter License, please keep it safe."
Yuu took the box handed by Bisky, took out the card inside, and silently felt the texture of the card.
At this moment, Yuu wasn't as excited as he imagined... even the emotional fluctuation was fleeting.
It wasn't until Yuu put away the card that Bisky spoke, revealing her true intention.
Bisky asked:
"Young man, where did you learn 'Nen'? Did you have a teacher's guidance... or did you learn it by yourself?"
Hearing this, Yuu looked at Bisky somewhat alertly, was silent for a moment, and replied in a deep voice:
"If you have something to say, it's best to say it straight."
"Don't be so alert... Can't a beautiful girl like me make you treat me frankly?" Bisky teased.
"You don't feel like a young girl to me, but more like..." Yuu told the truth, naturally swallowing the second half of the sentence.
Even if he didn't have that information in his brain, the aura emanating from Bisky was far stronger than others.
Anyone with slightly stronger perception could judge her true strength from clues, and that was obviously not the level a teenage girl should have.
And Yuu's words indeed hit the secret hidden deep in Bisky... which was her real age.
"How rude..."
Bisky's expression was no longer natural, she quietly clenched her fists, and there was a hint of anger in her voice:
"Don't you know that a girl's age cannot be mentioned casually?"
If the other party wasn't injured, and most likely her future precious disciple, Bisky quickly suppressed the anger in her heart and restored a peaceful face.
"Well... forget it."
"Anyway, regardless of whether you have a master guiding you behind your back, my decision has already been made."
Bisky sighed, then spoke to Yuu somewhat seriously:
"Although you may not understand this, this lady is also a super strong existence among Hunters. Whether it is the time of practicing 'Nen', or combat experience and knowledge, I am not on the same level as a rookie like you."
"From now on, I will be your mentor and personally guide your practice of 'Nen'. Hurry up and thank God.
"Ordinary people don't get this treatment."
Bisky said confidently.
"If it's just a sparring partner, that's fine, but a mentor is unnecessary," Yuu refused casually.
He didn't really want to be bound by a master-disciple relationship.
"Sparring partner? You mean this lady?!" Bisky stood up angrily.
And after the boy finished speaking, if she continued, it would seem like she was pestering him.
Bisky silently calmed down in her heart: "Calm down, Bisky."
"The other party is just a hairy brat of twelve or thirteen. It is normal not to know the immensity of heaven and earth, and... isn't this your purpose for coming here today?
"To carve this 'stubborn stone' into a dazzling 'gem'."
Thinking of this, Bisky didn't care whether Yuu agreed or not, she casually wrote a note, threw it to the boy on the hospital bed, and instructed:
"This is my contact information. Contact me through the number above after your injury heals."
Yuu looked down at the content on the note and found that besides Bisky's own number, there was another string of numbers, with the word "Wing" marked next to it.
"In addition, during the recovery period, it is best not to try to practice 'Nen'.
"Of course, if you don't listen to advice and forcefully practice, causing any stubborn illness in your body, you can only blame yourself."
After speaking, Bisky left the room.
...
In the next few days.
Yuu also listened to Bisky's words, just eating and sleeping normally, occasionally going for a walk in the park in the city, completely putting things related to practice behind him.
Most of the time, he found a quiet and deserted place, emptying his thoughts like 'meditation', sitting for nearly a whole day.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
The fatigue in Yuu's body and mind was swept away. After bidding farewell to the considerate medical staff in the assessment site, he returned to the original Dole Island.
Planning to go to the mountains near the Kiriko family's home for preliminary practice.
