In this Phase, no one is to know who is hunting them. The Examiner only allowed them to look at their prey.
Because of this, even Allan, who watched this as a show, didnât know each candidateâs target.
For example, in the show, Gonâs target was number 44, which is Hisoka, but right now, Allan couldnât confirm if it was still the case.
This made Allan slightly uncomfortable.
The drawing was done by first come, first served. The first to reach the tower is the first to draw a card, and the last to get there is the last to draw a card, even though everyone wanted to pick their card early.
Although many complained about this, in the end, they could only follow this rule.
They know that if they donât follow the rules, the Examiner will eliminate them.
And in only one minute, all 28 candidates drew a card from the box.
The numbers in the box are exactly the numbers on the badges of the remaining candidates.
So, everyone here is a hunter, but also a prey.
At the moment, Allan was thinking about the numbers he knew about. Hisoka is #44, Illumi is #301, Kurapika is #404, Hanzo is #294, Leorio is #403, Ponzu is #246, Killua is #99, and Pokkle is #53.
As for Chrollo, Pakunoda, And Uvogin, they had #33, #18, and #100, respectively.
Like Hisoka, those three wore their number badges without hiding them at all.
For them, it doesnât matter who tried because no one can take them away.
This is the Ryodanâs confidence.
Allan did the same. He didnât hide his badge, so all candidates here knew his number.
The rules of this Phase are simple; you need to get 6 points to pass. Getting your preyâs badge earns you three points, and keeping your badge gets you another three points.
Each badge that isnât your target gets you 1 point.
If someone couldnât get his targetâs badge, he needs three badges from other people to pass.
Anyone who didnât have 6 points by the end of the time limit has failed to pass.
After getting their number, Allan and the other 27 candidates boarded the Airship prepared by the association toward the next destination.
They reached an isolated Island after 3 hours. This Phase is conducted on this island.
Looking at the island from a high point, it funnily looked like a bra.
The candidates had to finish this Phase within a week on this island.
The island had more than two thousand small cameras arranged in advance by the Hunterâs Association to monitor the Huntersâ every move.
Strictly speaking, there is only one rule that restricts the candidates, which never kill each other.
If someone snatched someoneâs badge by killing them, the Examiner would eliminate them from the Exam.
Uvogin was the most uncomfortable by this rule.
He initially thought that he could fight on this island, but Uvogin felt restricted once he heard this rule.
This was convenient for Hisoka, who enjoys toying with opponents rather than killing them.
âAllan, who is your target?â Before entering the Island, Gon approached Allan and asked curiously.
âI will keep it a secret for now.â Allan gave him a mysterious smile.
He didnât want to reveal his target to anyone, including Gon.
Hearing this, Gon couldnât help being curious about this, but since Allan said he wanted to keep it a secret, he didnât ask again. However, he muttered: âI wonât reveal it either then.â
âMaybe we are each otherâs target.â Allan smiled.
Gon froze before he scratched the back of his head and said: âI donât know if Iâm your target, but I can assure you that youâre not mine.â
Allan raised his brows: âReally?â
âYeah, of course.â Gon nodded and pointed at Allanâs badge: âAllan, youâre #123. This isnât the number I drew from the box.â
âWell, then I will tell you that youâre not my target as either.â
âGreat, when I saw you smiling at me, I thought that Iâm your target.â
âSo, Gon, if you were my target, what would you do? Would you hand your badge directly? Or would fight till the end?â
Looking at Allanâs expression, Gon thought for a while: âWell, I would fight till the end, even if itâs you, Allan, I wonât give up easily.â
âI knew youâd say that.â Allan smiled. He knew Gonâs character well and knew how stubborn he could be.
Allanâs tone changed as he said gravely: âGon, I want to ask you something.â
âWhat is it?â Gon wondered.
âIs your target #44?â Allan asked seriously.
Gon was about to answer, but Killua walked up with his hands in his pockets and said: âWhat, Gon, is your target #44? What bad luck, #44 is Hisoka.â
Seeing Killuaâs expression, Gon shook his head and said: âNo, my target isnât #44.â
âReally?â Allan was a little suspicious.
Killua whistled: âIf itâs not #44, then it wonât be a problem. If it were, it would be troublesome.â
Gon confirmed: âItâs really not Hisoka, so donât worry.â
Hearing this, Allan nodded and didnât say anything else.
He knew that initially, Gonâs target was Hisoka. However, even with that, he managed to grab Hisokaâs badge.
But this time, his target isnât Hisoka, but it will be unknown whether he can get his targetâs badge or not.
âBy the way, who is your target, Killua?â Gon asked.
âI will temporarily keep that a secret.â Killua smiled.
Allan was speechless. Those two learn too fast.
He suddenly regretted not sharing his target with them because now, he was curious about it.
But he didnât ask nonetheless.
âBy the way, Allan, do you want to go together in this exam?â Gon asked.
Allan shook his head: âNo, letâs go separately. After all, it would be meaningless if we teamed up in this Exam.â
âWell, I think so as well.â Killua nodded as he agreed with Allan.
Gon was a little disappointed that both Killua and Allan didnât want to go together in this Exam.
This time, he had to rely on his power to complete the fourth Phase.
Soon after, the Airship landed on the island, and the candidates were released in the same orders as before. The first to finish the last test is the first to go into the island.
The interval between each candidate going into the island is ten minutes.
And since this test had a time limit, the last candidate, who is Gon, or Killua, lost about 270 minutes from that time.
When it was their turn, it was already dark outside.
Allan didnât rush toward his target but instead found made a camp and started a fire.
Since it was the first day, there was no need to hurry.
Allan knew that Hisoka, Illumi, Chrollo, Uvogin, Pakunoda, Killua, and Kurapika had the same idea.
On the first day, they would find a place to camp before making plans.
After all, this Phase time limit is a whole week, which was more than enough to get to their targets.
