Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

The next morning, Rocky opened his eyes.

He clenched his fists gently, still feeling energetic, as if the whole night of practice had not left him the slightest bit of fatigue.

"The effect of maintaining the state is too abnormal!"

If he continued in this state, Rocky felt that one day might be better than the previous ten days of practice.

And although his physical condition was very good, it still took some time to slowly recover from the consumption of his Nen energy.

It was just right to send Kurapika off during this time!

Kurapika, who was waiting in front of the clan leader's house, was already in the living room early in the morning.

Rocky got up and happened to meet the clan leader, who was giving instructions.

"About the test."

"I know your academic performance in the outside world's language and history, so you don't need to continue testing these two items."

For a Kuruta to leave the tribe, they needed to pass three tests!

The first was to learn the language and writing of the outside world.

The language of the Kuruta tribe was different from that of the outside world, so they needed to master the common language and writing, and practice using it as proficiently as their own mother tongue.

The second was to master the history and humanities of the outside world.

If they didn't understand these, they would attract attention when they went out, which might expose the secrets of the Kuruta tribe, so they had to learn.

As for the third one...

"There is only one test for you today. You need to go to the town closest to the Kuruta tribe and find a doctor who can cure Piro!"

Piro came out of the room.

Although he was injured, he was able to move after a night of recuperation.

It had to be said that the physique of people in this world was strong.

Or maybe it was the unique ability of the Kuruta tribe!

"Piro will go with you. After you find a doctor, treat Piro, and then return to the village!"

"And you must not open your Scarlet Eyes during this process!"

"If you complete the test, I will give you a permanent pass, and you can go out and do what you want!"

Kurapika was stunned when he heard this.

The tribe leader had clearly taken into account what Kurapika had said before about wanting to become a Hunter!

The test was a disguised agreement to treat Piro's condition!

Last night, the tribe leader had appeared as though the rules couldn't be changed. In fact, he couldn't bear to see Piro suffering from the disease like this!

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass the test!"

Piro looked at Kurapika. "Thank you, Kurapika. Don't worry, I will try my best to help you complete the test!"

Kurapika didn't say anything but wanted to help Piro. Piro waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to.

"Drop these two eye drops into your eyes!"

The chief took out two bottles of eye drops.

"What is this?" Kurapika asked.

"This is a special eye drop. Drop it on your eyes. Once you open your Scarlet Eyes, they will remain open for 24 hours!"

"When you come back, I will judge whether you have passed the test based on whether your Scarlet Eyes are open!"

The two nodded, and at that moment, Rocky suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Special eye drops that could keep the Scarlet Eyes open for 24 hours!

This!

This was the secret medicine of the Kuruta tribe in disguise!

Rocky's Scarlet Eyes could be opened for ten minutes normally, but this potion could keep them open for 24 hours!

While thinking, Rocky heard Kurapika and Piro say their goodbyes.

Rocky came back to his senses and greeted the two before sending them off.

After they left, Rocky looked at the chief and said, "Grandpa Chief, can you give me a bottle of those eye drops you just showed?"

The chief was stunned for a moment. "What do you want that for? Didn't you say you didn't want to leave? Why are you..."

"No, no, no! I don't want to leave the Kuruta tribe, I just want the eye drops!"

The chief frowned. He was just asking for the eye drops?

Suddenly, the chief's eyes narrowed slightly. "Little Rocky, it's rare that you can see through it!"

"But these eye drops only make your Scarlet Eyes appear open, and they don't have the power to truly open your Scarlet Eyes!"

Hearing this, Rocky was stunned and a little disappointed.

"Although there are no eye drops that can last for 24 hours, I have eye drops that can last for one hour!"

The chief took out a bottle of red eye drops from his arms.

"Although this can force you to maintain your Scarlet Eyes for an hour, it will cause a huge burden on your body!"

"After using it for the first time, with your physical condition, you will probably collapse to the ground without any strength!"

When Rocky heard about the side effects, he was still a little worried, but when he heard the next words, Rocky's eyes shifted slightly.

"Is there nothing else besides feeling tired and weak?"

The chief said unhappily, "Isn't that serious? Draining all your strength could cause permanent damage to your body. Do you still think it's not serious?"

Uh!

It seemed quite serious for ordinary tribesmen, but...

Did this side effect really exist for Rocky?

As long as it didn't damage his eyes and just made him tired, there was no side effect at all.

As long as he modified his state, he could guarantee a 24-hour excellent state. As long as it didn't cause permanent damage to his body or bloodline, and only affected his physical state, then there was no problem.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Chief!"

Rocky put away the eye drops and said, "I won't use them recklessly. I just thought that if I encounter danger, it would give me some hope."

The chief no longer thought Rocky's idea was too strange.

Although Rocky was younger, he sometimes seemed more mature than Kurapika, who was twelve years old.

"As long as you don't use them recklessly!"

After saying that, Rocky turned around and ran to the dining table to grab two fruits and some bread.

He ran out in a flash.

"I'm going to continue my practice today!"

Looking at Rocky, who disappeared in the blink of an eye, the chief smiled and said, "Only at this time can he seem more like a child."

Rocky came to his usual practice spot.

First, he took a look at the eye drops. He didn't know what it felt like to drop them in. Should he try it?

Forget it, let's not do it just yet!

Let's start with the practice first!

Rocky's physical condition was at its peak now. In this case, he didn't know how much his Nen energy could explode.

At the same time, it was a good time to think about his evacuation plan.

Rocky had thought about it all night. Kurapika was about to leave the Kuruta tribe, and the extermination of the tribe was about to begin. Rocky had chosen to stay—not to wait for death, but to save the Kuruta tribe.

After thinking about it all night, Rocky had initially come up with a solution.

Although this solution was not easy to implement, it was the only way.

And the premise of this solution was that Rocky needed to improve his Nen energy as soon as possible!
