Level up in HxH - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Earning Points!

“You said I killed the examiner?”

Rocky’s calm voice sounded.

Step by step toward each other.

The invisible momentum surged out of Rocky’s body, like a dark tide, coming quietly, and when you found it, you were already in the vortex.

puff~~

Examinee who spoke out and questioned Rocky fell to the ground and looked at Rocky in horror.

There was a big cold sweat on his face.

Satotz’s eyes narrowed, looking at Rocky, “This momentum… it’s amazing!”

Glancing at this unbearable fellow, Rocky stopped and raised his finger to the silent examiner Satotz in the distance!

“Isn’t the examiner standing there well?”

“Uhh……”

“But he may be fake. The previous running posture is not like what ordinary people can have.”

I don’t know where there is another questioning voice.

“This guy Rocky hasn’t figured out who the real examiner is, so he shot, really…”

Leorio complained.

Kurapika shook his head and glanced at him, “If you didn’t know who the real examiner was before! It should be clearer now.”

“Why?” Leorio asked back.

At the same time, the attention of the people around was also attracted by Kurapika.

“Cough cough!”

Clearing his throat, Kurapika came out and spoke.

“Examiners in the Hunter Trial are all official Hunters who have obtained the Hunter license. With the strength of the professional Hunter, how could they be killed by the candidates so easily?”

“So the real examiner is Mr. Satotz!”

Turning his head to look at Rocky with a calm face.

Kurapika frowned, “Rocky, that’s why you attacked that man-faced ape!”

After being instructed by Kurapika, all the candidates seemed to have come to their senses, showing their original expressions.

Looking at Rocky again, his deep eyes became jealous. He was able to make such a judgment in such a short time, and he showed his strength when he started.

Rocky is regarded as a rival by many.

“Um!”

Faced with Kurapika’s question, Rocky nodded casually, without giving the real reason.

[Satotz (Lv56)]

The moment he saw the human-faced ape, he didn’t mention that he knew the plot beforehand, just based on the level, you know what is going on.

This ability to others level is really powerful ability. It will allow Rocky to avoid 90% of the danger.

A farce ended so quickly.

Satotz’s gaze also stayed on Rocky’s body for a long time before slowly withdrawing.

He continued to remind this group of ‘cute’ candidates.

“So everyone now understands why this place is called the lair of fraudsters, and I remind everyone once again that if you are deceived, you will die~ oh!!”

“Then we move on to the venue for the second exam.”

Satotz turned around and continued to run.

All the candidates followed almost immediately.

Rocky, who was with Gon and Killua, was now focusing on his panel.

Just when he burst out large amount of aura, and attack the fake examiner, he got ‘Ren’ skill as well.

[Ren: focuses on outputting a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively. This amplifies the user’s physical strength and durability and provides a large pool of aura for any advanced techniques or individual skills they decide to use, albeit at the cost of expending said aura.]

Rocky used 10 points to level up ‘Ren’ skill as well.

After that Rocky also learned Zetsu by closing his aura nodes. And then consume 10 point to level it up again.

[Zetsu: stops the flow of aura from their body altogether. By closing all of their aura nodes, the user is able to halt all outflow of their aura like water from a valve, making their presence much harder or even impossible to sense.]

Now Rocky panel looks like this.

————–

Aura: Lv12 (0/91) [+]

Nen Type: None

Nen Skill: Ten (Lv2), Zetsu (Lv2), Ren (Lv2)

Nen Ability: None

[Point: 29]

————–

All the Nen Type effectiveness and aura control vanished. Because they already reached the maximum 100% proficiency or effectiveness.

With this, Rocky power has been increasing constantly.

Maybe because of Rocky’s performance, Hisoka has been releasing his killing intent.

Hisoka, who was placed at the end of the team.

“Rocky, your reaction was so quick just now, and your analytical skills are amazing.”

Gon was still talking beside Rocky.

“Humph! It’s nothing special! Instead, it interrupted a good show!”

Seeing Gon compliment Rocky so much, Killua was a little unhappy, and seemed to feel that Rocky had stolen the limelight.

Rocky didn’t say much about this, and looked at the two of them calmly.

It’s a bit dangerous for Rocky to continue with Gon now, and the anime’s magician is about to start getting high.

Although I don’t know when Hisoka will get excited, Rocky still doesn’t want to be involved.

And the most importantly, he also need to hunt some animals in the forest to increase points.

When Rocky was thinking of all this, soon mist started to cover the whole area.

Even people who are just 2 meters away, they vanished in the fog.

Rocky also activated his Zetsu, and vanished inside the fog.

While using ‘Zetsu’, Rocky found that he can felt other’s aura even more perfectly.

This is almost like Observation Haki.

Not only that, when he feel the aura, he also feel the exact level of the person as well.

Like even if his eyes are closed, and Hisoka Marrow is hiding among the crowd of 100 people, he can easily point him out.

Because at that time, Hisoka aura would be like moon in the middle of dark night filled with stars.

Rocky take out a big knife, and covered the surface of the knife with aura.

After that he searched for the aura of the beast.

Suddenly he saw a Lv8 Frog-in-Waiting hiding under the ground.

Rocky smiled brightly, and walked to the trap knowingly.

Suddenly a huge mouth opened which is covering more than 10 meters of area, and take Rocky inside along with the ground.

Its just Rocky who entered into frog’s mouth, he didn’t panic, and started to slash everything with the knife.

Normally these frog inside is ever harder than rock, and normal blade can’t cut it open.

But when aura is covered with knife, it can cut like knife cutting butter.

Blood started to splash, and Giant Frog started to struggle.

But he can’t do anything, and Rocky directly pocked a hole inside him, and come out.

Rocky is covered with blood all over his body, but when he saw notification, a smile appeared on his face.

[+8 Point]

Rocky instantly sense other beast aura, and rushed towards it.

In forest, there are various kinds of beast.

Some are fast, but weak in strength.

Some are strong, but weak in speed.

Some are just poisonous, but can’t move.

Based on this information, Rocky hunting is pretty fast.

Rocky mostly target the beast who are high in level, and faster to kill.

Giant Frog and Strawberry-Tortoise are the main target.

One Strawberry-Tortoise is actually Level 15 beast.

But he move so slow that even Level 1 or Level 2 people can actually bully him.

Because of this, Strawberry-Tortoise took the benefit of fog, plus his big size, along with hard skin to hunt.

Its just in front of Aura covered knife, his defence doesn’t work.

Rocky hunt down more than 20 beast, and he directly used them to level himself up.

After that, when Rocky found a lake, he first use aura to see everything safe, then he take out the water, and use it to first clean the blood all over him, then he started to chase towards the main team.

Although this is a good place to level up, but becoming Hunter is still the main goal of Rocky.

Now Rocky doesn’t need Hunter Organisation to learn Nen. But when you are a Hunter, lots of thing became easier for you.

You can access lots of information, and places where you normally can’t visit.

In Hunter x Hunter World, Hunter License itself is a proof of your strength.
