Hunter x Hunter: Desire Manifest [EN]

As usual, the Examiner gave congratulations and information about the next stage of the exam.

The test will be held on Split Mountain, and participants are required to climb the mountain. Of course, this is done without safety, or let's call it free solo.

The participants who heard this were undoubtedly shocked and hesitant. For them, climbing without safety, especially on a steep, high mountain, was a serious risk. This might even be more dangerous than fighting monsters because once you lose your footing, you are done.

After digesting the information, the participants dispersed and went to do their own things. Since they had free time, some decided to go to the cafeteria, see the view from the Airship, or chat in the lobby.

Ives and Biscuit went to the cafeteria for a quick meal and then went for a walk. Since this Airship belonged to the Association president, it was luxurious. There were many areas where passengers could enjoy high-class service or beautiful views from the windows.

"How about looking at the scenery before going to bed?" Biscuit suggested.

"Sure."

"Let's go there; it's the only area we haven't visited yet." Biscuit pointed towards a particular hallway.

Strolling while chatting, the two entered and were treated to an extraordinary view from the ship's top. There was a large clear glass and bench to sit on; they automatically went there. But as they walked, for some reason, they felt something, but it was very faint...

"Did you feel it?" Ives asked.

"Yeah, but I don't know what it is." Biscuit looked around in surprise.

"Perhaps only our imagination?" Ives looked around as well, but seeing nothing, he just shrugged. Taking Biscuit's hand, he led her towards a bench.

At the end of the hall, a muscular old man chuckled as he stroked his gray beard. "Hohoho, able to feel it, eh? Interesting." After saying that, the old man left.

That person was none other than Netero. Previously, he had intentionally walked past them but hidden his entire presence. Normally, they should be able to see him; after all, he was walking past them, right? But because he had covered his entire aura nodes, his body seemed transparent. Except for people with powerful senses, it was impossible for them to see or feel his presence.

Since the second stage, Netero has been watching these particular participants. Seeing them defeat sharks, boars, wolves, bears, and other monsters that were no less dangerous made him feel very excited. In addition to having qualified physical strength, they also did not lack intelligence. He was so impressed with them that he planned to take them as his students... However, with the premise that they passed the Hunter Exam.
