Chapter 77 The First Exam
They had already found out that the entrance to this year's Hunter Exam was at a flower shop.
"Hello, each of us wants a blue flower and a red flower, tied with a purple ribbon." Kuroro said to the clerk.
The clerk was surprised to see the people, then smiled and pointed to the back, "There are a lot of you. I need to select carefully. The guests can wait and rest in the back."
Chrollo: "Thank you."
The boy with heterochromia walked past her, and the clerk didn't even look at him.
"The effect is quite good." The knight looked at Agalini's newly grown long legs. His walking posture and speed were no different from those of ordinary people, enough to fool 99% of people. Who would have thought that it was fake?
Agalini covered the tail of the snake with an illusion, so that to others, he just looked like he had a pair of legs.
"Of course." Agalini looked as if to say, "Are you questioning my ability?"
The knight surrendered and walked to Sarasa like a crab.
The back of the flower shop looked like an ordinary lounge. They stood inside and the door at the back slowly closed. The green light next to the door turned red, followed by a strong feeling of weightlessness.
They sat or stood calmly, and the knight even had the time to check if the TV on the wall was real.
Not long after, the door of the lounge opened again and they walked out one by one.
They arrived quite early, and there were only about a hundred people at the scene, so they would probably have to wait a while longer.
The man in a suit handed out number tags to them and said, "This is the first time so many people have come at once."
Kuroro took the number plate and said, "Thank you."
From Chrollo to Agalinie, it is one hundred and two to one hundred and seventeen.
After the bean flour man gave them number plates, two more people came out from behind.
Tsushima Shuji looked at the two men, scanned the crowd, and commented: "What a great gathering of heroes."
It's worthy of being the Hunter Exam, as it gathers all kinds of talents with unique quirks. People with cockscombs and belly-exposing clothes are considered normal, and there are also people carrying strange weapons.
There are those who play with snakes, hold long swords, hug balls, and wear long veiled hats. The information Kuroro has collected only lists a few famous players. Other unknown ones cannot be ignored and need to be treated with caution.
The atmosphere at the scene was very tense. Everyone looked at each other with vigilance. Most people closed their eyes or did their own things.
This made them seem a little different, because they knew that they would have to wait for a long time and it would be boring. Wo Jin also brought playing cards and was playing cards with Yuji Itadori.
Kuroro felt that someone was watching them, so he followed the line of sight and looked back. It was a man with a round face and a big nose. When he noticed that Kuroro was looking at him, he smiled very friendly.
The man walked to the other side, and I could vaguely hear him introduce himself to a tall man, "Hello, I'm Dongba."
Kuroro understood. This Dongba was also in his profile. He was not that strong, but he was known as a troublemaker. However, he was quite tactful and did not provoke them.
"Raccoon?"
Kuroro was comparing the exam items of previous years in his mind, guessing what types of exams there would be this year.
He was stunned for a moment when he was called, and then he subconsciously smiled and looked over. It was a pair of twins.
The red-haired girl looked at him with bright eyes, while the blue-haired girl next to her who looked the same was a little indifferent. It was obvious that it was the red-haired girl who called him.
"Hello."
"Hello, Lili. My name is Milna, and this is my sister. Her name is Milya."
The two girls walked closer and saw that all five idols were there.
"I didn't expect to run into you here. Why are you here to take the Hunter Exam?" After saying this, Milna realized something was wrong and waved her hands. "Ah, I don't mean anything else. It's just that this place is very dangerous. Hachiyū actually agreed to let you come."
"Fujun is not as dictatorial as people say on the Internet." Kurorohan, "It's just an exam, and he still trusts us."
"How shameless." The yellow-haired young man said disdainfully, "You'd better go back as soon as possible if you treat the Hunter Examination as a game. This is not a place for you to sing and perform. If you sing well, I will let you pass."
Just as Myrna was about to explain something to her idol, she heard someone barking from nowhere nearby. Her face darkened for a moment, she looked at Kuroro, and swallowed the string of curse words in her throat, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb. Do you think it's fun to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
"I'm not eavesdropping. This is a public area. No one will hear you if you go home and talk." The yellow-haired young man was not at all timid. He glanced at the group of people here and said, "You can't win here just by having more people."
Myrna was furious, but Kuroro held her back and said softly, "It's okay, let's talk aside."
"Ah?" Milna's anger was suddenly extinguished when she was dragged away by her idol, and Milya followed her sister silently.
The yellow-haired young man was still waiting to debate with the group of scholars, but a few of them just walked away, saying something with their backs to him, leaving him in a dilemma.
Someone next to him recognized him, "You're talking nonsense again? I remember you were kicked out of the Hunter Exam last time because of your nonsense, right?"
The yellow-haired young man obviously didn't think so: "What do you mean by being mean? It's just my bad luck. I just happened to meet a strong opponent."
"Am I saying they are wrong? They have to bring so many bodyguards with them to take part in the Hunter Exam. Celebrities just like to put on a show."
"Those guys don't look like bodyguards." The man shook his head speechlessly. He must have seen him being kicked out again for his bad mouth.
Milena stood among a group of handsome men and beautiful women. The most important thing was that she was one of them. Her mind turned into a paste with happiness. She didn't know what to say in a daze. She just stood there and smiled shyly.
Milya silently moved to the side of Kuroko Tetsuya and didn't utter a word for a long time. Kuroko Tetsuya looked up in confusion and saw a familiar desire in her eyes.
Kuroko Tetsuya asked considerately, "Do you need an autograph?"
Milya nodded in a chicken-like way.
Kuroro asked them curiously, "Isn't this your first time here?"
Milna: "Well, Milya and I are here for the second time. The first time was three years ago. Of course, our strength is more than three times stronger than before."
She patted her chest generously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you, Tsuna, Tetsu, Hisahito, and Osamu-chan."
Chrollo found it a little funny to hear her counting out the words and trying to carry the water, "Then I'll leave it to you."
More people came in one after another until the time was up. There were a total of 391 candidates on the scene.
The examiner did not show up for a long time. Just when the candidates were confused, the wall-mounted speakers in every corner made a crackling sound, followed by two bang sounds, which sounded like someone had tapped the microphone twice.
"Hello everyone! Welcome to the Hunter Exam! I am the examiner of your first exam, you can call me Mans. Since I am a socially anxious person, I will not meet you in person."
"Now, let me announce the rules for the first exam."
"The name of the first test is the Mirror Maze. All you have to do is find the real exit of the maze within an hour. Friendly reminder, this is a maze with a hexagonal hall in the middle. The rules are very simple. Now, please enter the examination room."
As Examiner Mans uttered the last word, six doors appeared on each wall of the hall, for a total of thirty-six.
Looking out from the door, all you see is a maze of corridors made of large glass, and they look no different.
Everyone chose the door that he liked.
Even though there are thirty-six doors, there are nearly four hundred people on the scene, which means that there are about eleven people entering each door. If you are familiar with each other, it's okay. But if there is a grudge between you, they may try to trip you up.
Of course, Kuroro and the others walked together as a group. Seeing that there was so many of them, the others chose to avoid them.
Milna and Milya were also invited. Milna, after getting over the excitement she had when talking to her idol at the beginning, saw that they were calm and had the demeanor of big men. With their unconditional trust in their idol, she felt that they would not fight an unprepared battle. Later, she realized that she was suspected of being too arrogant.
Kuroro easily saw the embarrassment of the little girls, and with a few words he dispelled their embarrassment and invited the two of them to join him.
It was difficult for Milna to refuse her idol's kindness, and she was determined to contribute to the team in the future. With a blazing fire behind her and high spirits, she took the lead without hesitation.
The walls, ceiling and floor of the mirror maze are all made of mirrors, which makes people scared if they are accidentally stepped on and broken. However, when Wo Jin did an experiment and punched the wall, he found that there was not even a crack on the mirror, which proved the solidity of the mirror.
"I was thinking if I could break down the wall and go straight through it." Sawada Tsunayoshi felt very sorry for losing a shortcut.
Kuroro: "The Hunter Association will definitely not leave such a loophole. This is also expected."
The mirror went all the way to the ceiling, so the idea of climbing up the mirrored wall and flipping over was aborted.
Milna rubbed her eyes and said, "This mirror is really uncomfortable to look at."
The mirror weakens the brain's ability to distinguish between reality and reflection, and increases the burden on the brain to process information. Looking at it for a long time will not only cause visual fatigue, but also cause dizziness. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of finding a way out.
They walked along, marking the corners as they went.
In fact, no matter what kind of maze it is, if you keep walking with your hands on the wall, you will always find the way, but the premise is that the maze will not move.
Looking at the number nine in the lower right corner of the mirror in front of him, Kuroro said, "This wall has moved, but I don't know when or why it moved."
Milena was stunned: "The difficulty of my previous exams was not this high." Is it directed at her?
Kuroro was very calm, "Just find the pattern. It's the first test, and the examiner won't make it too difficult. There should be some clues."
No one present was anxious, and they naturally began to discuss the feasibility of various plans as they walked.
Myrna and Myrya calmed down and racked their brains to find a way out.
They continued to move forward. After an unknown amount of time, the wall in front of them began to move, rotating 90 degrees clockwise, and the wall connected to it also began to move.
They could only stay still and change their positions according to the movement of the wall to avoid colliding with it.
The wall changed very quickly, and soon it was seamlessly connected as if nothing had happened.
Tsushima Shuji: "So it moves every ten minutes, and the wall in a certain area moves ninety degrees clockwise."
"It's still early, let's go on." Kuroro said. The existing clues cannot deduce a pattern.
