Level up in HxH - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Hunter being hunted!

Rocky jumped back and slightly opened his position. And he activated ‘Gyo’ on his eyes, he could clearly see all the bees in the dark night.

Rocky suddenly created a sword out of aura.

This technique is just like Gon Freecss create aura sword from finger.

After Rocky Transmutation Nen Type reached level 2, he felt he can let Aura turned into various shapes.

Because he is 100% proficient is all Nen Type, plus his aura control is also 100%. He will definitely make this ability even more powerful.

Facing the dense bees in front of him, Rocky waved his aura sword and backed away. All the bees hit by the aura sword cut into two and fell to the ground.

Aura sword became lighter and lighter, and finally vanished with the swing.

However, Rocky did not hesitate, and picked wooden stick from the ground, and covered it with aura.

Creating things out of aura is heavy consumption, compared to just covering it with aura is less consumption.

Ponzu, the queen of the swarm, kept writing the number plate in her backpack, falling into pain and struggle in her heart.

Watching the bees are cutting down, Ponzu still hoped for a chance at the beginning. But when Rocky picked the stick, and used it like a sharp sword, Ponzu knew it was time to give up.

Rocky, who kept waving the wooden stick, found an object in the swarm flying towards the sky: “This is the number plate you want.”

“Wise choice.” Rocky threw the two wooden sticks into the swarm and chased the number plate.

If Ponzu continued to fight with Rocky, then Rocky can only use his Nen at full power to solve her.

Although she is just a level 2 character, but her attack damage is not less than Level 12.

Behind a hidden tree, Pokkle set up his bow and arrow, aiming at the number plate thrown by Ponzu, waiting for the moment when Rocky caught him: “Today I will teach you what it means to Hunter being hunted.”

Rocky, who was flying in the forest, ran for about three hundred meters chasing the number plate: “This little girl is much stronger than I thought.”

Finally waiting for the number plate to fall, Rocky jumped up from a deep squat and grabbed the number plate with his left hand.

“Now.” The moment Rocky’s hand appeared in the range where Bukuro aimed at the number plate, he shot a poisonous arrow at Rocky.

Pokkle, who shot the poisonous arrow, put down his bow and prepared to appreciate the moment when he hit Rocky.

However, what Pokkle saw was Rocky suddenly moving at fast speed, and then he actually caught the flying arrow in the mid air.

The frozen Pokkle was filled with only confusion and panic. Finally, that same arrow grazed his cheek and cutting the hair around his ears.

In front of Pokkle, Rocky walked over.

“How did you do that?” Pokkle looked at Rocky, and felt his mouth go dry.

“Tuition fee.” Rocky stretched out his left hand.

Pokkle didn’t hesitate, took out his number plate from his bag and threw it over. Pokkle knew that even if he struggled and resisted, the final result would not change.

“The problem is not with me.” Rocky took the number plate.

“The first is your position. You think your hiding position is hidden enough because you only stand at the position you can go to observe, but I can see a wider range every time I jump, not to mention that I finally One time, he almost jumped to a height where he could look down on his surroundings in order to get the number plate.” Rocky said seriously, but this was all made up.

Rocky can’t tell Pokkle about Nen.

“Yeah, I’ve never considered a higher position.” Pokkle nodded in approval.

“However, the most important point is that you prepared your bow and arrow before I took action. It seems that you can seize the opportunity of me receiving the number plate to the greatest extent, but it also reduces your visual range to the minimum during this period of time. So that you can’t see the movements of my whole body.” Rocky said the most fatal flaw of Pokkle.

Whenever people aim, they will focus their attention on the target object and easily ignore things other than the target object.

It was precisely because of grasping this that Rocky defeated Pokkle so easily, but to do this, he must first find Pokkle’s location. Therefore, if it were anyone else, the success rate of this approach would still be high. The reason why he lost so cleanly was because he encountered Rocky.

“I’ve been taught a lesson.” Pokkle bowed slightly to Rocky, turned and left.

“There are five days left… let’s train a bit, and try to level up as much as possible.” Rocky put the number plate into his pocket. Now Rocky has seven points in his hand, thinking that maybe the number plate that exploded Pokkle belongs to one of Gon and the others prey.

…

Behind a mountain that was actively hidden somewhere, Illumi dug a hole while resisting the strong discomfort coming from his head: “Let’s rest for three days… and then go find Gon after three days.”

After saying that, Illumi jumped into the pit and buried herself.

…

At night, two people were sitting in front of the firewood pile.

“There are still five days. With Illumi’s assassination skills, there is no chance at all on this small island.” Killua’s face was covered in cold sweat, thinking about how to have a chance of survival.

“Killua, are you okay?” Gon asked with concern.

“It’s okay.” Killua turned to look at Gon and made up his mind: I won’t let you die.

“Gon, my target number is my brother, and I have no chance of winning against him. So in order to advance to the next round, I need to find three targets. Time is tight, so I want to go first.” Killua stood up and looked at the bonfire in front of him.

“Okay, but you have to promise me that you will come back.” Gon looked at Killua with unwavering eyes.

“Yeah.” Killua turned and walked towards the dark forest.

Killua turned his back to Gon, with tears streaming down his face: “I lied to my most important friend…”

…

Three days later, in the deep pit where Illumi was hiding, the soil was slightly loose, and Illumi stuck his head out, “Huh?” A shadow covered Illumi.

“Brother.” Killua sat in front of Illumi.

Illumi jumped up from the mud pit, and large amounts of mud splashed in all directions. Illumi patted the dust on his clothes: “What’s wrong? Killua.”

“I’ve figured it out. I’ve already broken up with Gon… so that my brother doesn’t need to kill Gon.” Killua suppressed the pain in his heart.

“Ah – great, hahaha. Actually, I was lying when I said I wanted to kill Gon. I was just testing you.” Illumi smiled and patted Killua on the shoulder.

“But this also shows that you don’t want friends, right.” Illumi touched Killua’s head and said against Killua’s ear.

Killua was silent with cold sweat on his face.

“You will return home after this exam. Mom misses you very much.”

“As for the hunter’s license, I will tell you when you need it.” Illumi tore up the number plate Killua wore on his chest.
