As the blade fell on Allanâs head, the latter suddenly disappeared.
Hanzoâs pupil contracted as his sword passed through empty air.
âSo fast!â Hanzo commented in his heart before retreating a few meters.
âYour speed is alright.â Allan said calmly, before smiling and taunted: âI donât know if you can go even faster.â
Hanzo coldly replied: âIt looks like youâre confident in your speed. Be prepared. My next attack will be faster.â
Hanzo launched himself with great speed at Allan but once again failed to make contact with Allan.
âWhat?!â
Hanzo couldnât maintain his composure as Allan avoided his attack again.
The first time can be a fluke, but not the second time.
âCan you hurry up?â Allan taunted him with his index finger.
Regardless of being a Ninja or not, Hanzo is arrogant and couldnât bear Allanâs provocation.
He once again flashed and swung the hidden weapon at Allan fiercely.
Allan didnât fight back. Instead, he relied on his Observation Haki and dodged.
He wanted to make Hanzo realize the difference between their power and make his surrender.
The first step was destroying Hanzo in terms of speed.
As a ninja, he must be confident in his speed.
Allan wanted to keep Hanzo attacking and make him lose confidence in his speed.
Attack after attack headed toward Allan, who swayed slightly avoided each time without any effort.
Gon and Kurapika were nervous as they looked at Allan.
Hanzo was fast, and it seemed like an attack could connect at any moment.
But Allan avoided each time when the blade seemed the closest to him.
On the other hand, Killua looked indifferently.
As an expert, he could see what Allan is doing better than the other two.
In terms of skills, Killua wasnât inferior to Hanzo. Therefore, he could gauge Hanzoâs power without a problem. Hanzo had great speed, but he was far behind Allan.
Only when your speed is greater than your opponent can you dodge at the last moment like Allan is doing.
Allanâs face wasnât red, he wasnât breathing hard, and from time to time, he would taunt Hanzo.
Itâs clear that Allan was way beyond Hanzo in terms of skills.
With Observation, Killua found out that Allan relied on a movement technique or some kind of footwork.
And it was quite advanced as well.
This was similar to the footwork of his family, but Allanâs was much more advanced.
Gon and Kurapika couldnât see this clearly, making them frightened and worried about Allanâs safety.
Killua couldnât help explain: âDonât worry, Allan is just playing with Hanzo.â
Kurapika was surprised: âYou mean that Allan wasnât serious all this time?â
Killua shrugged: âI canât say he wasnât serious. After all, Hanzo is quite good, but if Allan were truly serious, Hanzo would be dead.â
âIâm very surprised as well because Allan is really strong, but he is only dodging Hanzoâs attack without counterattacking. When Killua explained, I understood what Allan is trying to do. He should be trying to prove the difference between them and force Hanzo to admit defeat.â Gon said.
Kurapika nodded: âThat should be it. After all, the rule is clear. You need to make your opponent surrender, not defeat it. If Allan started to fight with defeating Hanzo in his mind, it would be easy. But as Hanzo is stubborn, he wonât admit defeat.â
Kurapika and Gon were relieved as they discovered Allanâs strategy.
At this time, Vice President Pariston glanced at Netero and said: âChairman, the candidates this year are quite strong. They are showing us such a wonderful fight from the start.â
Cheadle glanced at Pariston and Netero before saying: âThe Chairman didnât invite you, and you still have the cheek to come here, uninvited.â
Pariston squinted with a smile: âIâm still the Vice-Chairman. I have that much authority.â
âHmph!â Cheadle snorted, too lazy to retort.
This time, Netero specially invited them and didnât invite Pariston, but the latter came here uninvited.
This made her very upset as a member of Neteroâs faction. Because what Pariston did means that he thought less and less of Netero as the president.
At this time, Netero, who was watching the duel, suddenly said: âThis old man wants to join them in fun.â
Pariston squinted: âIf the presidentâs hands are itchy, you can just ask everyone from the Twelve Zodiacs for a spar. This is your original intention of making them anyway.â
The present Twelve Zodiacâs members glared at Pariston and said: âPariston, Shut up! Why do you have to be so troublesome?!â
âYes, if you want to spar with the Chairman, you can be the first to go, as the vice president.â The Ox said.
Pariston said readily: âOkay! If the president wants a spar with me, I will be delighted.â
Netero waved his hand and said: âI donât want to play with any of you at the moment. Iâm only interested in those newcomers.â
Pariston said: âSince chairman is interested in them, I will arrange for a spar with them, is that okay?â
Cheadle said: âPariston, I will take care of the Chairmanâs affairs. You arenât allowed to act toward those newcomers.â
Pariston raised his hand in surrender: âWell, I wonât interfere.â
Cheadle ignored him, but she was still vigilant. She knew that Pariston wasnât someone who kept his words.
As long as it is someone he is interested in, he will intervene.
At this time, the battle between Allan and Hanzo changed.
Hanzo couldnât land any hit on Allan and finally decided to use his secret skill.
Shadow Clone!
Hanzo made some hand seals, and in an instant, three clones appeared around him.
Right now, there are four Hanzoâs in the scene.
Each one moved in a different direction.
Allan narrowed his eyes slightly as he seemed interested in Hanzoâs Ninjutsu.
One of them said: âYou canât avoid our attack now.â
After saying this, the four Hanzoâs Attack Allan from four different directions.
Allanâs expression didnât change, as he used Observation Haki and avoided each attack without any difficulty.
Hanzo didnât expect Allan to be so strong that he can avoid all those attacks.
He knew that he had no hope to win against Allan, but he didnât give up instantly as he wanted to land a hit at least.
But it wasnât easy to do because, since the start, he didnât even manage to touch Allan.
Taking a deep breath, Hanzo decided to perform his last secret technique.
Hanzo started circling Allan quickly before he was no longer visible to the naked eyes.
âSo fast!â
Killua, Kurapika, and Pokkle all exclaimed.
At the moment, they knew that if they were the ones inside that encirclement, they had no way of escape.
Only a few black afterimages kept flashing around Allan as Hanzo was preparing to launch a surprise attack.
Even Hisoka and Chrollo looked at this technique in interest.
Hanzoâs speed wasnât that amazing, it was average or below average in their eyes, but the technique itself was good. They were also curious about whether Allan could avoid this attack like before or not.
At this time, Allan finally showed a serious expression.
His eyes flickered left and right, catching Hanzo moving around.
In the next second, he sneered and disappeared.
Leaf Strong Whirlwind!!
Suddenly, Allan was in front of Hanzo and kicked him away.
The three clones disappeared instantly as soon as Allan landed the kick.
Hanzo was lying on the ground with a shoe print on his chest due to Allanâs kick.
He broke two ribs!
âWas that a coincidence?â Hanzo got up with a pained expression.
Allan shook his head as he already noticed Hanzoâs techniqueâs weakness.
The so-called shadow clones are just an illusion.
âAs long as you hit the original, the others will naturally disappear.â
Hanzo was taken aback as he didnât expect Allan to see through his technique.
Indeed, it was just an illusion technique and didnât inflict any damage if a clan landed a hit.
The purpose of this technique is to put pressure on the opponent to distract them. He was the only attacker.
âSo, should we continue?â
âNo.â Hanzo shook his head with a wry smile: âThere is no need to continue. I lost.â
Through this battle, Hanzo realized that he wasnât strong enough to fight Allan.
He was convinced of his loss.
No matter how much he fights, he is not Allanâs opponent.
At this time, Allan obtained his reward.
[Ding! You successfully convinced Hanzo to admit defeat through your power. Reward: Ninja Art: Afterimage Clones.]
After getting the information about the Afterimage Clone technique, he understood something.
The so-called Afterimage clones technique is a high-speed movement skill used to confuse the opponent, but unlike normal techniques, each clone had some weight behind it. Itâs like how the Byakugan can see shadow clone.
Ordinary Afterimage clone: Create a physical clone that can attack and defend.
Double Afterimage Clone: Make two Afterimage clones that can attack and defend.
Triple Afterimage Clone: Similar to double Afterimage clone, but each clone is stronger. It can confuse anyone who witnessed the Double Afterimage Clone.
Multiple Afterimage Clone: A more power clone technique. It can create dozens of Clones. The only disadvantage of this technique is they canât attack at the same time.
This technique may not be useful for Allan now, but itâs better to have more skills.
Allan didnât dislike having more skills from the system because he believed that each skill could be useful in certain circumstances.
At this time, Netero announced: âWinner of the first match, Allan. Please come up here.â
Hearing Netero calling him, Allan didnât hesitate as he walked onto the stage directly.
Netero said to Cheadle: âCheadle, bring it out.â
âYes, Chairman.â Cheadle took out a license with Allanâs photo in it and handed it out to Netero.
Allanâs eyes were attracted to the ID photo in the Hunterâs license.
Netero laughed and said: âAllan, congratulation on becoming the first Hunter to pass in the 287th hunter exam. From now on, youâre a professional hunter.â
âThank you, Chairman.â Allan took his license with a satisfied smile.
Although it wasnât necessary to him, it showed his hard work.
From this moment, he had an identity in the Hunter X Hunter world.
Suddenly, Allan heard the System notification in his head.
[Ding! Hidden achievement unlocked: Become a hunter. Reward: Lucky Draw.]
