Kurapika: "I really like the pancakes here, they're delicious."
Ronnel: "Oh? That's the pork ribs in a clay pot. The pancakes are definitely the highlight, and the broth bursts with flavor when you bite into them!"
Ronnel introduced various dishes to Gon while the other candidates silently watched, exchanging glances.
The outcome of this was…
"Oh?"
When Hisoka an...

Buhara grinned awkwardly, but this smile caused saliva to pool in his mouth, dripping down in a way that made Menchi, who stood below, visibly cringe. Yet despite her disgust, Menchi couldn't deny the burning curiosity she felt towards Gon and the others' cooking.
The aroma was something entirely new, a scent she had never encountered before.

Now, with the examiner from the previous session turned into a laughingstock after being beaten by the applicant, a new sense of caution had fallen over the other examiners. They were nervous, fearing the appea...

"The world is full of wonders. If I get my Hunter License, can I create a ninja Hunter?"
A certain talkative, bald-headed candidate rested his chin in his hand, lost in thought.

Three soft beeps brought the examinees back to their senses, and everyone quieted down.

It seems just like in the original story—Gon and Kurapika had become the promising, growing fruits that Hisoka had set his sights on.
After meeting up with Leorio and Killua, Gon also found Ronnel. After some brief introductions, they quickly became acquainted.
Finally, as the clock ove...
2024-10-06 11:05:47 +0000 UTC View PostKurapika and Leorio both stared at Ronnel with deadpan eyes, prompting him to laugh awkwardly and whistle towards the sky.
The candidates taking the Hunter Exam may come from all walks of life, but they weren't stupid. After piecing things together, they watched the man in green like it was some kind of circus act.

2024-10-06 11:05:21 +0000 UTC View PostRonnel observed as Satotz's movements seemed to glide across the ground, faster than most people could sprint, but with the grace of a gentleman. His strides and the swing of his arms were so subtle that only Ronnel, paying close attention, could detect the shifts in his pace. He marveled at the technique and soon found himself subconsciously trying to mimic Satotz's steps.
Because of Ron...
2024-10-06 11:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostRonnel watched as Hisoka stuck out his tongue and licked the playing cards, then turned away with an eerie laugh.
Ronnel understood Hisoka's meaning, or at least the word "Hunter" that Hisoka had just spelled out with the cards.
"Don't be in such a rush. Why not enjoy the test while it lasts?" Hisoka grinned.
Ronnel dissipated the aura enveloping his arms, smirking. "I'm afrai...

"AHHH!!! MY HAND! MY HAND!!!"
"It's unbelievable! How did your hand disappear into thin air? There's no trick, no mechanism."
A familiar voice, and an even more familiar style of speaking.
Standing before the man who had just lost his arm, Hisoka, with his signature half...

"What else could they do?" Ronnel shrugged. "They fought. The winning brother moved on to the next stage."
As Ronnel finished, Kurapika fell silent, but Leorio suddenly shouted, "I get it!"
"If you can't avoid the fight, then you just have to go all out!"

Ronnel and Gon were each led by one of the Kiriko, while Kurapika and Leorio were dragged along by the Kiriko couple, soaring through the night sky towards Exam site under the bright moonlight.
They traveled through the night, reaching Exam site just as the sun was rising.

"Sorry, Ronnel, three more candidates are approaching. We'll be testing them next."
Ronnel nodded with a calm smile.

His gaze shifted toward a distant part of the fo...

In a soft voice, Shizuku's delicate.
Feeling the warmth of her touch, Ronnel paused for a moment, then smiled.
He tossed the magazine he was reading into his space backpack and, with his other hand, affectionately stroked S...

She casually threw her backpack beside her. "Help me put all the magazines in there."
Seeing Bisky's request, Ronnel knew she was determined to leave this time, so he couldn't help but sigh softly. Passing the entrance examination n...

Suddenly, the venue came alive again with cheers for Ronnel, along with angry shouts from the Sparka gamblers. The noise grew louder and louder until it filled the entire arena.
Ignoring the commotion, Ronnel walked over to Sparka, whose eyes were fixed on him.
