Whale Island is just a small island.
But because of its unique geographical location, it has become a must-pass route on the sea.
Therefore, it became a registration and boarding point for the Hunter Exam.
Some candidates who have registered for the Hunter Exam can board the passenger ship to the Hunter Exam venue from the dock of this island.
Lan planned to board the ship from here and start the journey in advance.
As for Gon, Lan didn't intend to disturb him.
Ging has already made clear arrangements for Gon's future growth path.
Hunter Exam, Heavens Arena, Yorknew City City Auction, Greed Island, Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region…
It can be said that Ging spent a lot of effort on every step and created a sufficient growth environment for Gon.
Lan had no interest in disturbing the unique way of getting along and communicating between this father and son.
Not to mention, he was unwilling to disturb Gon's growth trajectory and delay the development of the plot.
He is also thinking about waiting for Gon to officially start the main storyline of Hunter X Hunter World next year so that he can open the blind boxes along with him!
The Hunter Exam begins every year on January 7th of the year.
Lan participated in the 286th issue in early 1998.
This is the episode before the 287th Hunter Exam, where the plot officially begins.
"It was also the period when Hisoka beat up the examiner and made it impossible for the twenty candidates to make a comeback..."
At the dock of Whale Island, Lan quietly recalled what happened in this issue.
In this round of the exam, [Toilet God of War] Hisoka was disqualified because he disliked an examiner so much that he severely injured him.
Twenty candidates were also beaten to death or injured.
Because the situation was so serious, no one passed the exam this time.
To use Netero's words, this was a very interesting exam.
"But because of this, Hisoka beating up the examiner is also a famous scene, and it can almost be used to open a good blind box."
While Lan was thinking, a ship came across the sea, cutting through the waves.
The goddess logo at the bow is particularly eye-catching.
The moment when the official ship of the Hunter Association docked at the pier.
Lan stepped onto the deck without hesitation.
His first official Hunter Exam journey since coming to this world has begun!
…
Before leaving the Nostrade family, Lan confirmed the process with Shachmono Tocino, a professional hunter who had obtained a hunter's license.
For every exam every year, candidates must rely on the little information they are given to find the venue.
This is also an exam and screening for candidates.
In order to reduce the number of applicants, the Hunter Association sets up various traps along the way.
The venue is different every year and is set up in a place that is difficult to find.
Without the help of a guide, it would be difficult for candidates to reach the venue.
Candidates must first find a guide and have them confirm their talents before they can be led to the venue.
"And this ship is one of the preliminary exams before entering the venue."
After the ship set sail, Lan leaned casually in the corner of the deck, then he observed the surrounding environment and people.
At this time, the deck was packed like sardines with candidates who were going to take the exam.
These people were covered in tattoos, covering every exposed part of their bodies.
Their face was hideous, and they were holding a weapon in their hand…
"If they go to a comic con to play, they might attract a lot of people to take pictures with them."
Lan judged them thus.
Looking around this group of guys, there is basically no powerful character among them.
They are almost all a bunch of trash who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They are not even as good as the worst sailors on this ship.
That's not the case.
To be able to become a sailor on the ship officially approved by the Hunter Association, one must have some skills.
Comparing this group of people to sailors is indeed a bit of a bully.
But these candidates at the boat... No, they are not even candidates; at best, they can only be considered applicants.
They have absolutely no self-awareness.
Some people have restless genes in their bones, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't cause trouble.
Especially with so many people crowded together, it is easy for some friction to occur.
So, after the passenger ship set sail from Whale Island and sailed for a while, the group of people on the ship could no longer hold back and became restless.
[What are you looking at?]
[What are you looking at?!]
After experiencing provocative greetings like the above, the deck evolved from a group of sardines to pufferfish.
They started fighting and beating each other until they were bruised and battered.
Lan retreated behind the crowd and watched coldly, not participating in the stupid behavior of these stupid idiots at all.
He also discovered that some sailors secretly promoted this kind of fighting.
It was as if they were deliberately trying to cause trouble.
Sailors would not privately engage in such dangerous behavior that would disrupt the peaceful environment on board.
Unless they are instructed to do so, the action is tacitly permitted.
"That is to say, the exam has already started from the moment we boarded the ship, and..."
He moved his feet slightly, allowing the candidate who was thrown towards him to brush past his and fly out of the boat.
Plop.
It fell into the sea, creating a wave.
"It's going on all the time."
