In the Chairman's office atop the Hunter Association, Netero stroked his beard while watching the game unfold.
At the same time, he patted a stack of white paper materials beside him.
"All the previous information is blank, and his identity certificate appears in Gumandun, which suggests that he's likely from the streets of Meteor City. An eccentric Nen user, currently studying under Bisky... What an interesting boy~"
Back in the room, Ronnel found only Zushi striding back a...

Wing also saw the scene of the host falling to the ground in the ring, the commentator's aggrieved look resembling a rooster whose throat had been ripped off, and the figure of Ronnel stepping off the stage slowly.
Listening to the gasps and uncomfortable murmurs from the audience on TV, he was left speechless.
This eye-catching battle had ended in less than two minutes.
If Ronnel had won this victory through a hard-fought battle, it would've made for a very interesting matc...

Bisky shook her head as she watched Ronnel step out of the ring, nodding in satisfaction.
"It seems this kid's progress and strength are far beyond what I imagined. There's nothing to worry about. Next, he should be able to knock down the rest of the fighters one by one~?"
Just as Bisky thought, this match marked the beginning of a new legend in Heavens Arena.
For the next eight days, Ronnel continued to deliver impressive performances, winning each of his seven remaining gr...

In other words, during this delicate time period, when all the masters are yet to take the stage, the major schools are sending their own capable disciples to fight against low-level opponents.
On the one hand, they can gain experience, and on the other hand, they can promote their school's prestige and increase their reputation.
So Ronnel was not surprised by the disciples of Subai. He just asked curiously, "Are you from the Southern School or the Northern School?"
Ronnel's...

During this period of time, Ronnel had been following Bisky closely, receiving her strict training and guidance. Finally, two days ago, he managed to fully digest the powerful energy within his body and integrate it as part of his own strength.
The current Ronnel appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, but his sharpness was now hidden. He no longer exhibited the aggressive energy typical of a young man.
If the previous Ronnel was like a rushing river, now he resembl...

Feeling the surging power in his body, Ronnel couldn't wait to return to Heavens Arena, and let Bisky formulate the most suitable training plan based on his current situation, allowing him to familiarize himself with, utilize, and fully master this newfound power.
Ronnel believed that once he fully grasped this power, the only gap between him and Chrollo would be the experience and near-death battle instincts. And even that gap could be bridged at Heavens Arena.

"Because if we want to deal with this situation, Mr. Beans will definitely come over. We can just ask him directly if there's anything."
"Oh? So, do you think that me, as your master, is dispensable?"
Ronnel: "...???"
No, my most respected master, how could you even think that?
Before Ronnel could respond, Bisky hung up the phone.
"Well, it seems I'll need to buy two gems and go back to smooth things over with her."
Sure enough, no matter how strong or how ...

A few hours later, when we arrived at our destination, Mizaistom bid farewell to Beans and left in a hurry.
He also has a lot of his own property and things to take care of.
"Come on, Mr. Ronnel, I'll take you."
The bean-faced man said to Ronnel and walked ahead to guide him.
"It's time to work."
Ronnel looked at the Hunter Association headquarters building next door, which was clearly marked, and said softly.
After that, the two got into a special car of t...

Just as Mizaistom was about to announce the start of the test, an untimely voice interrupted his words.
"Mr. Examiner, I don't want to take the final round of tests," Ronnel said calmly, causing Mizaistom to frown slightly.
"Don't want to participate? Why? Do you want some compensation to join the next Hunter Exam?" His tone became heavier, reflecting his displeasure at the unexpected refusal.
"No, no, I'm not the type to take advantage of such situations. Mr. Mizaistom, may...

That being said, could this guy come back for the Hunter Exam next year?
They glanced over instinctively and saw that Hisoka's expression hadn't changed, but the unsettling smile on his face deepened.
"Next year, I will come again."
With that, Hisoka twisted his waist and strolled off under the watchful eyes of the uneasy candidates and Mizaistom's wary gaze.

The examiner's voice trailed off as he glanced around and noticed Hisoka giving him an unsettling smile—one filled with irony and disdain.
He paused, squinting at Hisoka with a confused expression. "That candidate, what is with that expression?!"
Under Ronnel's puzzled gaze, the examiner yelled at Hisoka, seemingly oblivious to the danger that the clown-like man posed.
Ronnel furrowed his brow in disbelief. Is this g...

As soon as Amori said two words, another scream echoed in his ears, making him shudder involuntarily.
Ronnel also heard the commotion and looked around, only to see Hisoka holding a poker in one hand, standing over a pool of blood with a sickly smile on his face.
He didn't bother to restrain himself and, under the terrified gaze of his teammate, raised his hand again.
The teammate of the man who had fallen in the blood pool stood frozen, his pupils dilated. Blood oozed from ...

So, if Ronnel didn't act now, he might not get another chance as good as this.

"It's very simple.
There are so many spinning tops, and Nen is attached to them.
With your level, it's impossible to maintain the same amount of Nen on all the spinning tops while attacking, right? The Nen must be focused on the one that launches the attack.
As the spinning tops tilt, the one that gains more Nen will give away which one you'll use to attack."
