Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 112 Examination Venue, Dongba

The captain pointed out a location directly to Jin.

Just like how he pointed out a "mahogany tree" to Gon in the anime.

Of course, going to that location will also involve other preliminary tests.

Having a clear objective and not needing to gather intelligence made things much easier for Jin.

The preliminary exam was not difficult for Jin; she passed it easily and arrived at the official location with ease.

It was in a house in a small town.

It is also the mayor's home.

Of course, the places Jin Suo goes to are not places that all test takers will go to.

The preliminary exams are primarily conducted by obtaining the location of the official exam.

If you learn the location of the official start from other sources, you can go directly there without taking the preliminary exam.

The town mayor is the leader of this region.

There are quite a few people like him.

After all, the candidates come from all over the world, and it is impossible for them all to gather together for the preliminary exam.

The corresponding preliminary examination will be conducted at the appropriate location.

Generally speaking, if you participate multiple times and have a good relationship with the guide, it will be beneficial.

If you fail an exam once, you can simply find the guide and have him take you to the official exam location next time.

Killua in the anime is an example of this, and he even came into contact with the Fox Clan.

This town is located within the Republic of Padokia, and there are appropriate means of transportation to the Sky Arena.

It was late at night.

"It seems you're the only one who's arrived here. Let's set off after dinner. The official exam location is in Kerry City."

The town mayor was an elderly man in his fifties, but he was still in good health.

Having just left Whale Island, Jin naturally didn't know where Kerry City was.

But he also has many problems.

They directly asked the town mayor about his responsibilities and whether there were many leaders like him.

Unlike Gon, Gin, who has just left Whale Island, is intelligent and thoughtful, despite his somewhat "naive" nature.

This was his first time participating in the Hunter Exam, but he found the exam incredibly interesting along the way.

The town mayor also answered some of Jin's questions.

After dinner, we drove directly to Crete.

The car driven by the town mayor.

The outside world was so novel and fascinating, attracting Jin.

"What kind of city is Kerry?" Jin asked Zhen again in the car, mainly to learn about Kerry.

In Jin's eyes, the town where the mayor lived was already far more prosperous than Whale Island.

"Kerry City, ah, this is a world-renowned fighting city, a holy land for martial artists from all over the world..."

The mayor became very talkative when he started talking about Kerry.

The city of Kerry, which prospered because of the Sky Arena, is also constantly radiating its influence to the surrounding cities, towns, and villages.

There are some things that Jin doesn't yet understand enough about.

But judging from the mayor's tone alone, it must be something extraordinary.

After driving for nearly four hours, we arrived in Crewe at 23:25 p.m.

Jin was still shocked when they entered the city from the suburbs.

The look of astonishment on the faces of people from the countryside as they were taken aback by modern city architecture; everything seemed so strange and wonderful.

Even late at night, the neon lights of Cree were still shining, and some of the large screens on the buildings displayed either "GG" or videos of fighting games.

As you walk along some streets, you can smell the aroma of barbecued food in the air.

It's a city that never sleeps.

Jin looked out from inside the car and couldn't help but shout.

He is still just a 12-year-old boy.

They soon arrived at their destination.

The lobby area of ​​a twelve-story building.

The town mayor led Jin into the hall.

Inside the hall, many people were waiting.

Some of them were still holding knives.

Because it was nighttime, some people rested against the corner of the wall.

At a cursory glance, there were more than three hundred people.

"Alright, we've arrived. You can wait here from now on. I don't know the exact time of the exam." After dropping Jin off here, he was truly ready to say goodbye.

"Thank you!" Kim expressed her gratitude.

"Don't push yourself. If you can't do it, you can try again next time. Come find me again next time, and I'll take you to the exam location."

Before leaving, the mayor said a few words to Jin, telling him not to force himself.

The Hunter Exam is still very dangerous, especially since Ging is only 12 years old.

"I understand," Jin simply replied.

I didn't agree to anything.

After the mayor left.

Gold began to surround the entire hall.

They were observing their surroundings, and also observing the other test-takers.

The candidates here are completely different from those we've encountered before; their aura alone is enough to make the difference.

This building also appears to be a martial arts dojo?

There are several areas in the lobby, as well as counter staff.

Jin noticed that some test takers would go to the counter to talk to the staff for a few minutes, and then go upstairs.

Jin wondered if the exam had already started.

While Kim was thinking.

A chubby man with a mature appearance approached.

"You must be a newcomer. To get this far at your age is quite impressive!"

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Dongba."

Dongba is very outgoing and gets along well with Jin.

"My name is King Freecss," King introduced himself.

"Was it obvious?" she then asked, inquiring about how she had been identified as a newcomer.

"It's quite obvious to me, after all, I've participated in the Hunter Exam more than ten times." Tonpa proudly stated his achievements.

"Ten or so times!" Jin exclaimed in surprise.

"Mr. Dongba, you're amazing! You've participated so many times."

Jin's expression made Dongba slightly puzzled.

Most test takers would laugh at him if they heard about his record.

"Is it impressive? If I were impressive, I wouldn't have participated so many times and still not become a hunter," Tonpa said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"That's amazing! Grandpa Mayor just said that the Hunter Exam is very dangerous. Mr. Tonpa, you've participated so many times, and although you haven't become a Hunter, you've survived each time unharmed. Isn't that impressive?"

It has to be said that Kim has a different perspective on people.

"Ah! Really!" Dongba felt a little embarrassed by Jin's praising tone.

"Since you're a newcomer, let me, as your senior, give you some advice."

The Dongba priests began to impart their experience.

"There should still be some time before the official exam starts, so you can actually do whatever you want during this time."

"Why? So those people..." Jin didn't quite understand.

Dongba chuckled: "Before the official exam begins, members of the Hunter Association will prepare number tags for the candidates."

At this point, Dongba was also a little confused.

Why were we given number tags when we arrived at the official test location in the past?
