===========
The microphone was hung up again, and everyone looked up subconsciously.
There were so many events in the sports meet that time passed very quickly.
The sky had already darkened at this time, and a ray of afterglow from the sky was about to fall on the earth.
Seeing this, no one dared to delay.
They had to suppress their dissatisfaction and hostility and started running quickly towards the mountain behind the school.
Those candidates who are eliminated will be dealt with by the staff of the Hunter Association.
Under the setting sun, a group of candidates were running on the road as if they were their lost youth…
In short, this large group of more than one hundred people was running under the setting sun.
The group successfully reached the entrance to the forest behind the school before dark.
And there, someone was already waiting for them.
"More than 120? That's a pretty good number."
A figure sitting upright on a large rock slowly opened his eyes.
"I am the examiner for your second round of exams."
This is a man wearing a white training suit with a serious expression. The untidy beard at the corners of his mouth does not make him look sloppy but makes him look more mature.
And…
"Still looks so familiar."
Lan narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at the bearded uncle, and then.
"It's him."
A figure flashed through his mind, and Lan remembered it. At this time, the bearded uncle also began to introduce himself:
"My name is Izunavi."
He crossed his arms, his expression still serious: "The second round of Exams will be held in the jungle behind me."
Ezreal... No, it's Izunavi; he's Kurapika's teacher.
After passing the Hunter Exam, Izunavi taught Kurapika about his Nen.
Facing Kurapika, his extremely stubborn disciple, Izunavi not only possesses unparalleled patience, but also has foresight beyond that of ordinary people.
He also proposed restrictions and oaths, helping Kurapika to develop extremely powerful abilities based on the Scarlet Eyes.
Although the Scarlet Eyes' Emperor Time gains power by consuming lifespan, it is somewhat misguided.
But that was Kurapika's own choice.
Later, at Kurapika's invitation, he accepted the employment of the seventh prince of the Kakin Empire and became an undercover agent planted by the other party.
Although he doesn't appear in many scenes, he is a familiar face in the later comics.
At least.
Lan glanced at the white blind box next to the other party.
This blind box cannot be faked.
"The content of the Exam is very simple. In the Ralfa Forest behind me, there is an abundance of a rare mushroom called the Ralfa Red Mushroom."
"All you need to do is pick it and bring it to me intact."
Izunavi introduced the rules in a deep voice: "The time is before the sun rises because the Ralfa Red Mushrooms only appear at night. Once they sense a slight strong light, they will immediately shrink back."
"And because it emits a very fragrant spore when it emerges at night, it will attract many wild beasts and monsters, so it will grow next to another kind of poisonous fungus to confuse and protect itself."
"The poisonous fungus contains a highly toxic substance. If you are not careful, you will be infected through the skin."
"The toxins contained in it are enough to kill five elephants."
"As far as I know, a famous Gourmet Hunter went in to pick mushrooms some time ago. In her words, there were less than a hundred Ralfa Red Mushrooms left."
"So, good luck to you, candidates."
Izunavi didn't waste any time and announced directly in a concise manner:
"The second round of Exams officially begins!!"
After saying this, he didn't care whether the candidates could react or not and sat back on the big rock again, assuming the posture of practicing.
It was as if he came here just to be a tool and read out the rules.
"Is the quiet and dark forest full of unknown dangers?"
Lan glanced through the entrance at the dark environment inside the forest.
"Although there are clues, the Ralfa Red Mushroom will release a strange fragrance."
"But the fragrance attracted many wild and ferocious beasts, who wanted to snatch the mushrooms from our hands."
"And we have to differentiate between poisonous fungus and Red Mushrooms to avoid confusion and poisoning ourselves."
"At the same time, since there are so few of us, we also have to be on guard against other candidates who are waiting behind us."
"In one night, in this dark, unrestricted forest stage, anything could happen."
As Lan looked through it, he collected the white blind box next to Izunavi.
[Get an Ordinary (White) blind box; do you want to open it?]
[Open successfully: Gain, picking, and climbing tools. (Source world: Ikkyū-san)]
Lan: "...?"
Ikkyū? A monk?
Well, come to think of it, the white training suit that Izunavi is wearing is quite similar to the monk uniforms that Ikkyū and the others are wearing.
The tools used for picking can also be used to shovel mushrooms.
Lan shook his head and followed the other candidates who entered the forest one after another.
The entire Ralfa Forest is neither big nor small.
Based on Lan's preliminary observations, it is estimated that the forest ecological environment is similar to that of Whale Island where Gon is located.
Among the beasts and monsters in the forest of Whale Island, the most ferocious in the water is the giant fish, and the most ferocious one on land is…
"Roar!!"
"Ah!!!"
Along with the roars of wild beasts coming from the depths of the forest, there were also the screams of the candidates.
Apparently, they had encountered a very dangerous creature in this forest - the Foxbear.
"If it's a Foxbear, it's really the best exam for a candidate."
In Lan's sight, there was a two-meter-tall Foxbear in front, staring at him.
