Moses looked at the man in the black suit with some surprise, and suddenly remembered that the number tags issued during the Hunter Exam seemed to have a tracking function.
'Is that how they found this place?'
'When I was at the ruin before, there was no cell phone signal, so the positioning function of the number plate should have been ineffective.'
'After being teleported out, the positioning function was instantly restored, and the personnel of the Hunter Association immediately launched a rescue operation based on the positioning information.'
Seeing that Moses remained silent, the man in the black suit didn't care and continued, "Please allow me to confirm your identity. Are you candidate No. 1789?"
"Yes."
Moses nodded.
Hearing this, the man in the black suit asked solemnly, "Do you still wish to continue participating in the exam?"
"If the Hunter Association doesn't intend to cancel this year's exam, then I certainly have no reason to refuse."
Moses's expression remained calm.
This bizarre and sudden situation must have caused the Hunter Association to be in a state of panic for a while.
And the sudden recovery of the positioning function must have left those in charge utterly bewildered.
After all, the candidates were supposed to take the exam in Aragas Mountain, but they ended up in various places half a day later.
There are even people like him who appear directly on the top of the World Tree.
As ridiculous as it sounds, that's what happened.
Even the man in the black suit who came to pick up Moses was not as calm as he appeared to be.
He wondered how could a candidate, who was supposed to be at Aragas Mountain, travel across continents and oceans to the top of the World Tree in less than a day!
"Then, please follow me down first. There will be specialized personnel to inform you about the relevant matters."
The man in the black suit controlled the height of the simple flying device, lowering the basket to in front of Moses.
This flying device was a tool of the rescue department of the World Tree Tourism Department. It is usually used to rescue those who fail in the challenge of climbing the World Tree, and now, it was perfectly suited to pick up Moses.
Seeing the basket in front of him, Moses didn't get in but instead asked, "Is the specialized personnel you mentioned already waiting for me at the bottom of the tree?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Moses question, the man in the black suit was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Yes, you..."
"I'll go down by myself then."
Moses interrupted the man's words.
The man in the black suit was a little surprised to hear this, but he still respected Moses's choice and said seriously: "Okay, since you... huh?!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Moses leap from the edge of the nest directly.
"No. 1789, you...!"
Seeing this shocking scene, the man in the black suit was horrified. The simple flying device he was controlling shook violently several times and almost crashed.
"Are you crazy?!"
After recovering, the man in the black suit quickly controlled the flying device to descend.
However, his actions were futile.
The rescue flying device is fast when ascending, but relatively slowly when descending.
Even if it descended quickly, given the structure of the Even if it descended quickly, it would be impossible to rescue Moses in this situation.
At this moment, Moses was falling through the strong wind, and his adrenaline surged.
When he was still a thousand meters away from the ground, Moses gathered his Aura and had his materialized shadow reach the ground first.
Shadow Shift!
Then, Moses and the shadow switched places and he appeared on the ground in an instant.
Beans, who was responsible for receiving Moses, was startled when he saw Moses suddenly appear out of nowhere.
"M-M…"
Seeing Moses, Beans's eyes widened and he stuttered.
Moses, however, ignored Beans, and slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the shadow to land on the ground.
He could have dismissed the ability before the shadow hit the ground, but he chose to let the shadow crash into the ground.
About ten seconds later.
A shadow fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.
Thud…
With a slight dull sound, the shadow shattered upon impact, turning into countless ink drops that disappeared into the air.
At the same time…
The pain caused by falling to the ground was transmitted to Moses.
Moses raised his brows slightly and silently endured the pain.
High-altitude fall achievement, unlocked and completed!
When the pain subsided, Moses opened his eyes and looked toward Beans standing not far away.
Beans, still confused about what had just happened, received a call from the man in the black suit at this moment.
"T-that Candidate No. 1789… he, he jumped from the top of the tree!"
The voice on the phone was filled with panic.
Clearly, Moses's earlier action had left a strong visual impact on the man in the black suit.
Hearing the words of the man in the black suit, Beans was stunned, and his eyes looked a little dull when he looked at Moses.
'He actually jumped directly from the top of the World Tree?'
'But what happened just now?'
Beans was filled with shock and confusion. He took a deep breath to calm himself and then spoke into the phone, "Candidate No. 1789 is fine. Calm down and ensure a safe landing."
"Fine?"
The man in the black suit's voice was full of disbelief: "How is it possible? He jumped from the top of the tree. At that height..."
"Candidate No. 1789 is standing right in front of me now."
Beans interrupted the man in the black suit, trying to maintain a calm tone, "I'll take him to the airship first. Catch up as soon as you can."
After saying that, Beans hung up the phone and turned to Moses, then took another deep breath.
"Mr. Moses, please follow me."
After calming down a little, Beans managed to speak without stuttering, though his bald head was covered in sweat.
Moses noticed the sweat on Beans's head and couldn't help but smile slightly.
'He's like a little monk. I wonder what it feels like to touch that bald head.'
Beans seemed to sense Moses's thoughts and became a bit wary. His eyes seemed to be questioning Moses, 'You wouldn't really try to touch my head, would you?'
Moses avoided Beans's gaze and pretended nothing had happened.
Beans raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
'It feels like…'
'The first time I met Ging.'
Soon, Beans led Moses to the airship parked on the flat ground outside the town.
After boarding the airship, Moses originally thought they would fly directly to the next test location.
However…
A man appeared before him.
"Yo."
Netero's smiling face suggested he had been waiting here for a long time.
"…"
Moses was a little stunned.
'The Chairman of the Hunter Association came in person to pick him as a candidate?'
'Who would believe such words?'
'However…'
'This is a good opportunity to discuss the matter of the Nen Space with Netero.'
