But for some examinees, it felt agonizingly slow.
Kaizen had been observing one such person—Siper.
Her target was Gittarackur—Illumi, to be exact.
But Illumi had vanished.
Buried himself underground without a trace.
No movement. No aura. No way for Siper to track him down.
She was growing increasingly frustrated.
"Where the hell did he disappear to?" she muttered, pacing restlessly.

"You're the strongest one here. You've seen Hisoka fight before, right? Do you think we stand a chance against him?"
After his last talk with Kaizen, Killua had pegged him as someone from a professional assassin background—definitely affiliated with the Zoldyck family. And more importantly, he trusted him.
"How do you compare to Hisoka?" Killua asked. "If we all attacked him together... would that even work?"
Everyone turned to Kaizen, includ...

"N-No... I'm not," Ponzu stammered, her voice shaky.
Kaizen glanced at Ponzu. "From where I'm sitting, that seems to be the case."
He turned back to Ponzu. "But even if I am your target, why are you so nervous? Every examinee has one. It's nothing unusual."

The Zoldycks had a long-standing connection with Netero, and presumably, they weren't interested in stepping in.
As for the others...

Ginta was a rare innocent among the Zodiacs. His nature made him quick to trust others, though not without reason—naïve, perhaps, but far from stupid.
Even Hisoka had judged his overall strength to be superior to Kanzai's, placing him among the stronger members of the Zodiacs. However, he was still far behind Ging Freecss.

And more than that, there was something deeply unsettling about him.
They had crossed paths. The power Hisoka displayed left Kurapika feeling utterly powerless.
Not to mention, Hisoka's demeanor was anything but normal.
Could he really be trusted as an ally?

"Kaizen, besides me, do you know anyone else in our Zoldyck family?"
"I do."
Kaizen had met nearly all the main members of the Zoldyck family—except for Alluka.
Maha Zoldyck had trained him from a young age.
Zeno and Silva had guided his growth.
He had worked with Milluki.
Kikyo and Kalluto—he had met them both and even shared meals with them.
He had seen Killua during his time at Heavens Arena.
As for Illumi, they had met for the first time...

Killua shook his head.
When Kaizen attacked earlier, it really hurt. But he'd be fine after a while.
Growing up, Killua had lived with pain. He had lost count of how many times he had been struck with a ridiculous whip.
But right now, there was something else on his mind.
Why was Kaizen so comfortable in complete darkness?

Yet, no matter how impressive he was, the two of them quickly realized something unsettling: if Killua ever decided to target them, they wouldn't stand a chance. He could eliminate them effortlessly.
However, as the battle went on, their attention shifted.
