Level up in HxH - Chapter 10
Chapter 10: 4th Exam finished!
Six days passed in a blink of an eye.
Rocky, who was training in one corner of the Zevil Island, he was not disturbed.
In these 6 days, Rocky was completely focused in doing exercise, and effect is just marvelous.
His target is to earn 500 EXP per day just from the training.
Other than sleeping for 6 hours, rest of the time was completely spent on Earning EXP.
In 6 days, he earned 2850 EXP.
Rocky used these EXP points without suspense, and his current strength has reached equivalent to Gon Freecss, who he was in Chimera Ant arc.
Definitely not his Suicide Mode, but equivalent to when he was fighting against Knuckle Bine.
When Gon entered into Suicide Mode, his level directly shoot through the room. And maybe reached atleast 150 levels.
That level is higher than even the Chimera Ant Royal Guards, who might be around 120 to 130 levels.
Difference in just few level is pretty high, because growth is based on exponential level, not linear growth.
Suddenly a loud sound spread across the entire island.
“In a while, the fourth round of the trials will end.”
“All the participants are invited to come back to starting point of the test.
The participants must make themselves known in the time of one hour.
After this delay, the ones who haven’t shown themselves will be disqualified. Please pay close attention to this information.”
“Tags stolen from now on will not be counted. Verifications will be made, and people who break this rule will be disqualified.”
After this, Rocky stopped exercising, and ready to go the starting point.
Just when he reached near the location, he found Gon Freecss actually holding Illumi’s hand, and angrily shouting.
Rocky face instantly covered with sweats when he saw this.
He immediately rushed forward, but farces ended when Hisoka also intervened.
Later when he asked from Kurapika, he finally understand what is going on.
Killua Zoldyck has gone missing, and according to Gon, this guy is the culprit.
Rocky understand that his butterfly wings flapped, and Killua Zoldyck is still disqualified from Hunter Exam.
Only the time change from Final Examination to 4th Examination.
Rocky also understand that Gon is plan to go to Zoldyck Family House to meet Killua first, after this exam.
Rocky went to the examiner, and gave the 3 tags he collected, and he have total 7 points.
Rocky found that Pokkle actually able to pass the Hunter Exam, even without his own tag.
Soon a airship came, and picked all the candidates.
…
Isaac Netero is pretty excited today.
After all, 9 out of 6 candidates are actually Rookie.
Buhara while eating, he asked: “Does that often happens?”
Netero shook his head, and said: “No, Not Really. Often, there’s a gap before this.”
“Ten years passed without any new guy succeeding. And then suddenly, we have a lot of new guys with a great future ahead of them!”
“It’s the fourth time it’s happened since I’ve been president.”
Hearing Netero’s word, everyone was curious about Netero’s age.
Some people even think that he is atleast 100 years old.
But if you hear from Zeno Zoldyck view, then Netero might be atleast 300 years old.
Satotz changed the topic, and asked: “By the way, what are we gonna do for the last round?”
Even Buhara and Menchi became interested. Because they are also unaware of last exam.
Netero smiled, and said: “I’d like to make them hold unusual fights. And to set up this round… I shall begin by meeting them one after another.”
…
On the other side, Rocky came beside Gon, who was standing near the window pretty seriously.
“You became stronger after the Zevil Island.”
Yes, Gon Freecss really became stronger after Zevil Fruit.
[Gon Freecss (Lv7)]
That is increment of 4 levels in just 7 days.
Gon didn’t even turned his head, and said: “But this is not enough.”
Rocky can feel that Gon unconsciously releasing his aura.
Rocky stand beside him, and said: “Killua is a tough guy. I think he can handle himself until we passed the exam, and go to meet him.”
“You go with me.” Gon asked with expectation.
“You must be joking. When a friend needed help, how can I back off. I am not that ungrateful.”
Rocky smiled brightly, and said.
Gon also smiled like a happy bright sun.
After that Rocky still saw bit depression on Gon face.
“What happened? Why don’t I saw any happiness.” Rocky asked.
Instantly Gon eyes are filled with tears, and he sobbed.
“All this happened because I am weak.”
After that Gon started to tell about his encounter with Illumi, and Killua trying to save him.
Difference in strength is so big that Gon started to have doubts in his strength.
“Gon! Hunters are being selected not based on strength but based on potential. And Your willpower is higher than anyone else in the entire exam.”
Rocky patted on Gon, and said.
Rocky really feel the same.
Right now Rocky is several times stronger than Gon Freecss, but that happened all because of his golden finger.
If it was not for his golden finger, his talent will be equivalent to Zushi or Pokkle.
Gon looked at him, and said: “I can feel that you became much stronger from before. Can you tell me how to do it?”
Rocky looked at his serious face, and said: “If you want to become stronger, and defeat character like Hisoka, you need to learn Nen.”
“Nen?” Gon is completely confused.
“Yes! Nen is the manipulation of life-force. Let me show you.”
After saying that, Rocky used his ‘Ren’ at full power, and his clothes started float up without any air around it.
“Can you feel it?” Rocky asked.
Gon immediately nodded.
“This is Nen.”
“If this can make me stronger, then teach me. I want to repay my debt to Hisoka, and I don’t want to feel weak like before in front of my friend being in danger.” Gon eyes are eager, or you can say more desperate.
“Teach me as well.” Kurapika and Leorio also came out of the corner, who was hearing what happened to Gon.
They are all worried about Gon situation.
“Definitely. Come with me” Rocky smile brightly, and motioned them to follow him.
“Boy, don’t you know that teaching others about Nen is illegal. I can make you disqualify on this.” Suddenly a old voice came from the side.
