Chapter 45: Dangerous Guys

Leorio felt that Kurapika was mocking him, so he instantly walked forward and puffed his chest out.

“Who said I’m scared? If that guy dares to attack me, I will beat him to a pulp.” After trying to sound cool, Leorio took a dagger out of his pocket.

Seeing this, Kurapika almost hit Leorio: “Give up on that Leorio, even adding Hanzo and me, we three can’t even be his opponents.

Not just Allan, in this Exam, at least for candidates are way above our level. If these few want to attack the other candidates, we will be killed by them without any way to defend against them.

This is what the Hunter Exam is like. Only the strong can pass.

What we have to do is try to avoid them as much as possible.”

Leorio fell silent, but Hanzo spoke.

“Excuse me, Kurapika, don’t compare me to the two of you.”

“What?” Kurapika was taken aback by Hanzo’s words: “Do you mean that you’re better than the two of us?”

“Of course.” Hanzo nodded: “I’m a Ninja, don’t underestimate me. I’m not at the same level as you two.”

Hearing Hanzo’s words, Kurapika and Leorio weren’t happy.

“Keep bragging, you baldy.” Leorio mocked.

“I’m not bald. It’s a skinhead.” Hanzo corrected as he was concerned about this.

Kurapika sized Hanzo up and down then said: “Don’t think that you’re the only one who received professional training. I’m trained as well, and from what I can see, you’re not that scary. Therefore, you’re not much stronger than me.

Maybe you’re slightly stronger, but you’re certainly can’t compare to the others.

In my opinion, there are at least five people stronger than you in this Exam.”

“Oh? Tell me then, who are they?” Hanzo looked at Kurapika with interest because he already knew them himself.

Leorio looked at Kurapika curiously and wanted to know who can make Kurapika this afraid.

After thinking for a bit, Kurapika said: “First of all, there is Allan and Uvogin. You already saw their power when they fought.

The guy named Allan is beyond common sense since he can use Ice to attack and freeze others.

As for the big guy, Uvogin, he feels like a beast instead of a human, and his body seems stronger than iron. His most terrifying aspect is his explosive power, which most likely surpassed the limits of humans.”

Hanzo put a hand on his chin and said: “Um… You’re right. Ordinary humans can’t go beyond common sense. I think they can use Nen.”

“Nen?” Kurapika looked at Hanzo, puzzled as he didn’t recognize the word.

Hanzo was more informed than both Kurapika and Leorio, so he explained: “I don’t know the specifics of that power, but people can freely manipulate life energy in their bodies, and this energy is called Nen.”

“Anyone can use it? I can learn it as well then.” Kurapika thought for a while and made up his mind to learn Nen after the Exam.

Of course, Leorio was thinking of learning Nen after hearing this.

Hanzo coughed and said: “It seems that I have told you two something you didn’t know about; shouldn’t you thank me?”

Kurapika looked at him and said: “I’m not sure about this Nen thing, but thanks anyway. But let’s go back to the previous topic. It doesn’t matter whether Allan and Uvogin are Nen users. They are better than you.”

Hanzo shrugged and said: “Well, that’s obvious seeing the way they fought. What about the remaining three?”

“The guy with the playing cards called Hisoka, the guy that has needles all over his face, and the guy that has a cross tattoo on his forehead. These three are very strong and dangerous.”

Hanzo nodded and glanced at Kurapika in admiration and said: “Your instincts are spot on. Those three are indeed quite strong; I can’t feel their presence, which shows how strong they are.”

Leorio stopped their talk and said: “Okay, okay, stop with the mystery. They are powerful, so what do we do now?”

“Indeed, our only chance is for us to fight together when someone like that decides to attack.” Kurapika frowned.

Looking at both of them, Hanzo touched his head with a confident smile all over his face and said: “Don’t worry, no matter what danger we face, we will move forward, right?”

Hearing this, Kurapika and Leorio both brightened up, and the tense atmosphere dispersed.

“That’s right. We are here to take part in the Hunter exam. No matter what enemy or obstacle we face, we will deal with it.”

“Okay then, let’s go! Hurry up. We need to get out of this mist and reach the next part of the Exam.”

The three temporarily formed a party.

Behind them, Uvogin already caught up to Chrollo and Pakunoda.

“Chief, let’s go faster.” Uvogin urged.

“Don’t worry, let the ones ahead open a path for us. We only need to follow behind.” Chrollo calmly said.

Pakunoda glanced at Uvogin and asked: “You just want to catch up to that guy named Allan, right?”

Uvogin angrily said: “Of course, he dared to run away in the middle of our fight.”

“About that, did he use that trick he used before to walk on air?” Chrollo asked.

“Well, that’s what he did.” Uvogin angrily nodded.

“Chief, what is that ability? Is it Nen?”

“I don’t know.” Chrollo shook his head and changed the topic: “But I’m very interested in it.”

“Then, Chief, you can find a chance and use your skill the Bandit’s secret to steal his ability.” Uvogin eagerly suggested.

“As long as he can’t run away using that, I can kill him.”

“It’s called Skill Hunter.”

Uvogin laughed: “Haha, sorry. What is your decision, Chief?”

“The ability to steal other’s skill isn’t simple; there are many conditions to complete.” Chrollo said in a deep tone: “He is very vigilant of us, and I think he may already know our true identity from the time we were on the Ship.”

Uvogin and Pakunoda were surprised by this.
