Chapter 34: Hunter Exam II
.........
From the tunnels two other examiners could be seen running in near at the same time as Satotz, soon more applicants came from every tunnel until the doors closed marking the end of the first phase.
From the open garage, all one can see is sand thanks to the ongoing sandstorm.
"The next phase is quite simple, if you directly walked in a straight line, you'll find an oasis, all you have to do is to get 10 of certain fruit."Suddenly one of the examiners started talking while pointing to a box full of bags.
He then pointed to a picture on the wall that has the description of the fruit and its picture, it's a round-shaped green fruit with a little of red all over it.
"This is the one, there should enough for about seventy of you, you can get it by any means necessary."
As soon as he finished speaking, many of the applicants started complaining, after all, about nine hundred applicants reached here. what he said means only about seventy of them will pass to the next phase.
"SHUT UP!!!" Until a deafening shout came from him restoring the silence in the place.
"You have six days before the deadline, anyone not present by that time with the requirement will be disqualified," He stated as he entered a small door leading somewhere with Satotz and the other examiner.
Yasuo picked up a bag from the box then left heading in the direction the examiner pointed to leaving though someone followed him until he caught up with him.
"Hi, I noticed you keeping up with the examiner, I participated in the hunter's exam more than twenty times so I have a lot of experience, do you want to work together?" Offered Tonpa all smiles while trying to hand Yasuo a juice can.
Suddenly Yasuo turned around looking at him while his domain shrank as an amplification domain appeared surrounding Tonpa though it's undetectable since Yasuo is in the state of 'In'.
The amplification domain shrunk even more as he continued to try detecting anything interesting, 'Hmm, nothing I guess I'm being overly suspicious.'
Yasuo then turned around continuing on his way leaving a stunned Tonpa, he moved with an accelerating speed leaving everyone behind.
Once Yasuo no longer felt any gaze on him, he disappeared into the sky flying in the same direction, the sand storm had no effect on him as a barrier with a diameter of two meters seems to stop the sand from touching him.
He flew for what could be estimated to be 15 miles, he enhanced his vision along the way noticing several desert worms on the ground.
Desert worms are relatively big with a length of 5-8 meters fully grown, they usually eat anything that moves and are considered dangerous for normal people since they move below the ground and are deadly.
'Hmm, the other applicants will have a hard time even reaching the destination.' Remarked Yasuo in his mind.
'For the last years, I only bought things I found interesting and researched them and made some interesting things, once I get my hunter license I will explore the world, especially ancient ruins.
Ging likely learned about the mysterious inscription from them. they should help a lot in the creation of what I want to make.' A smirk surfaced on Yasuo's face as he thought about his future plans.
Yasuo researched a lot of things across the past years though he gave a lot of focus on a special project, the problem he found is that the success rate is extremely low and that is something he needs to fix.
While flying he noticed a shadow far away, that should be the oasis, with a speed of about 500 mph it didn't take long for him to reach it though. In the state of a perfect two meters domain, his speed becomes much faster.
Yasuo then hovered a few miles above the oasis looking down on it, The sandstorm did little to affect his vision, he noticed the oasis going for several miles with a few large lakes scattered within.
"Beautiful...I should visit places like this more often," Remarked Yasuo with a small smile as he looked at the vast green land with the lakes creating a beautiful picture.
The tall numerous trees seem to hide what kind of creatures could be around them though that didn't stop him from sensing the numerous life signals all around, from normal beasts to magical beasts.
Yasuo started flying down to a specific lake where he sensed an apparent presence, too obvious to miss.
He stood on a tree close to the lake as his domain enveloped a small part of the lake only for him to know what it is.
'A horned snake huh, it's been a while since I tasted it though I'm not that interested right now,'
The horned snake is a type of snake that reaches several meters in length, what sets them apart is the two large horns on their head. they're considered a delicacy that's sought for, making them extremely expensive.
No creature around noticed him since he entered Zetsu before going down, this is a benefit of his domain, he can use it even in Zetsu. He then sat comfortably on the tree branch.
Abruptly, from all around him, several fruits that look exactly the same as the one the examiner showed in the picture flew to him.
All of them flew next to him as the bag opened by itself allowing four fruits inside while one flew to his hand, gently landing on it.
'My domain extends sixty meters around me yet I found only five fruits. this kind of fruit only grows close to the water so there should be more.
The hunter association most likely took the rest leaving just enough for about seventy applicants' Though Yasuo as he took a bite from the juicy fruit.
"Mmm delicious, I should eat more which will lower the passing applicants, If I take enough It should be possible to lower the number of phases making the next one the last."
The reason why he won't take everything ending the exam with is the butterfly effect, while he doesn't care if most of the things changed, there is something that will be incredibly helpful and vital to his plans if it happens the same way it did in the story though he won't go out of his way to make it happen.
He started floating a little bit above the ground circling the lake to get more fruits, fruits flew from several directions, a few insects, small snakes that got closer to him just died, whether by their hearts getting crushed or their necks getting twisted.
The control domain can not be stopped by any barrier and since anything sensed can be controlled then Yasuo can just target weaknesses inside the body as long as his brain can handle the input.
He also found that trying to control a Nen-user's heart or anything inside their body is incredibly difficult as Nen act as a barrier that increases the resistance to very high levels requiring an input his brain can't handle...yet.
That's why he was able to only slow the floor master by creating a push all around him though even that was only for a fraction of a second.
Yasuo took a bite of the fruit as he slowly flew around exploring around while ruminating.
'I should explore the known ruins then once I'm done I'll probably go to greed island to do some experiments and probably go to the Kakin empire, the seed urn is quite interesting after all.'
A smirk appeared on his face, 'Though the most important thing is the wish I have to make to Nanika, this one is instrumental to my plans.'
'Seeing how far I've planned and how many backup plans I planned is just too satisfying, I wonder how satisfied I will feel when my plans come to fruition,' And with that, a smile of anticipation painted his pale face.
