Chapter 78 The Second Round
They occasionally met other candidates during their travels, but coincidentally, they chose different paths.
When the wall moved for the fourth time, they still hadn't found a way out. Myrna and Myrya were prepared to fail at the first level.
It doesn’t matter, it’s already super lucky to meet your destiny.
Myrna and Myrya comforted themselves.
Everyone except him turned their attention to Tsushima Shuji and Kuroro.
There is no doubt that these two are the smartest among them. Looking at their calm expressions, you can tell that they will definitely pass the test.
Did not disappoint their expectations.
"The central hall is hexagonal, and the roads on each side merge into a main passage. There are six main passages in total, and each main passage connects to three circular sub-areas..." Kuroro led them forward, his steps never stopping, and each change of direction was decisive.
"It's just a math problem." Tsushima Shuji explained lazily, "The exit is always located at the initial due north. The actual position after each rotation is (initial position + cumulative rotation angle) mod 360 degrees..."
The others were confused as they heard all the words, and nothing was left in their ears. Except for the two of them, everyone had dizzy eyes. But it didn't matter, they just cleared their heads and followed.
With a goal in mind and their quick pace, they saw the exit after walking for a few minutes.
The sunlight that came into view moved Myrna and she looked at Tsushima Shuji and Kuroro with admiration. She covered her heart, which was beating very fast. Myrna grabbed Myrya's hand and stamped her feet silently and excitedly.
She always recommends the best in the world ahhhhhhh!!
"Milya, I'm going to go back and write a 20,000-word essay to express my feelings!"
Miriya was a little stunned: "As expected of my idol, so amazing..."
Yuji Itadori stood at the exit and rubbed his temples, "It's better to let me fight."
This maze not only requires brainpower, but also physical strength and eyesight to try to walk through it.
In the end, there were nearly 400 people, and now only 99 people are left. Some rely on strength, and some rely on super luck.
The examiner of the second round saw this and held his forehead with his hand, "This guy Mans is really..."
He should be thankful that Mans did not eliminate all the candidates.
Mans was very pleased to express his feelings in the examiner group, "It's good to have fewer people. It's easier to manage with fewer people."
"Fortunately I got out in time."
"This doesn't make sense. Why is the first level designed like this?"
"If the first level is this difficult, then the rest won't be very difficult."
"Is it possible that no one will fail the Hunter Exam this time? There are only so few left."
The examiner of the second test knocked on the table in front of him. "Okay, okay, quiet down! Anyway, the test is designed this way for a reason."
"Let me introduce myself briefly. I'm the gourmet hunter Jesma. This exam is about gourmet food. You need to go to the swamp in the east and each of you need to pick a rainbow drunken mushroom." Examiner Jesma pointed in a direction. "As for the time, let's do it before dark."
"Now, you can go."
The examiners of both exams were of decisive character and had no intention of chatting with them. The candidates were also surprisingly "honest people" and only spoke among themselves in private. No one stood up to express their dissatisfaction.
Milna looked around and sure enough, she didn't see the yellow-haired guy who was so mean at the beginning, otherwise it would have been a lot more lively now.
They ran quickly to the east with the others. No one knew whether the goal of this exam would be enough for everyone present. It was on a first-come, first-served basis.
Myrna and Mirya were in good physical condition and followed closely behind the team. Myrna looked at the heterochromatic boy in the team and said inwardly, "They run so fast."
The swamp was not far away, and they arrived there after running for about twenty minutes.
The dark green swamp was like a pot of carrion soup, with rotten tree trunks half-sunk in the mud and a strange sour smell floating in the air.
The candidates were three or four meters away from the swamp, looking grim.
They could also see spiders crawling out of the swamp. Their entire bodies were dark green and almost blended in with the surrounding environment. Their fangs could even reflect light, indicating the toxicity of this spider.
This is what we can see, there is so much more that we cannot see.
I didn’t see the rainbow drunken mushrooms that the examiner mentioned, but there were some black mushrooms growing on the trees opposite the swamp. The mushrooms seemed to be coated with black shiny oil and did not look like they were edible.
There were trees growing closely together on both sides of the swamp, which looked very unconventional, so the candidates did not dare to cross the two sides rashly.
Milna finally found her own use. "I've eaten rainbow drunken mushrooms. They're the black mushrooms across the street. They have a protective coating on the outside. If you use a special method to wash it off, it becomes a beautiful transparent color. It tastes great, but it makes you drunk easily."
Mirja whispered, "I can make the swamp surface hard and walk straight across it."
"Yes, yes, I can take you over one by one. Don't be afraid of those spiders. A few bites will only make you dizzy. They are not very poisonous." Milna added.
Kuroro was not surprised that they were all Nen users, and asked Miria first: "Can the entire swamp surface be hardened?"
Mirja shook her head and said with some shame: "No, this swamp is too big."
"We can't get through that." Agalini crossed his arms. "There's something under the swamp."
"ah?"
Aghalini raised his chin and motioned them to look at the other candidates.
A candidate had already started thinking of ways to cross the swamp. He took out a tiger claw hook from his bag, probably intending to hook it onto a tree trunk and swing across. When he was flying over the swamp, two or three frog-like animals jumped out of the swamp, and bit the candidate with their mouths full of sharp teeth. Without any warning, the candidate fainted.
Fortunately, the rope in his hand was wrapped several times, and the tiger claw hook contracted and dragged him over, but the man still had his head hanging, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
When the other candidates saw this tragic situation, they gave up the same method as him and tried their best to find other ways to cross the swamp.
"ah!"
Another person fell in, but fortunately he was pulled up by his companions on the shore.
Myrna: "...No way, do you have to be so strict?"
"It's not that troublesome." Sawada Tsunayoshi put his hands on his eyes and looked into the distance, "Just freeze it."
Chrollo: "I've never seen you freeze such a large area before."
"I didn't have the chance before, so this is a good time to give it a try." He flexed his wrist, eager to try, "Make way for me."
Myrna and Myrya followed them and retreated two meters.
Sawada Tsunayoshi squatted down and lightly touched the ground with his five fingers. The sound of ice exploding like shattering glass quickly spread from under his hands.
Milna watched as a thick layer of white ice quickly covered the entire swamp, reminding Milna of the iron ants she had encountered in the desert before. They also swarmed up in groups, carrying a cold killing intent that even humans could feel. The candidates around them quickly moved away, fearing that they would be contaminated by the ice that seemed to devour everything.
There are curved lines on the ice, which almost look like a natural landscape formed in this area.
Myrna rubbed her arms and when she turned her head, she saw her own dazed look in her sister's eyes.
Miria murmured: "A combat idol? Too strong."
Even the two of them who had made some mental preparations in advance were still like this. The other candidates looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi in amazement.
"How do you do that? An ice machine?"
There are also knowledgeable candidates: "There are people with the ability to read minds. This is too much cheating."
Most people were frightened and decided to stay away from him.
The creator of this scene did not show any sign of fatigue. He looked as calm as if he had just poured a glass of water into a swamp. Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said with a smile: "Let's go pick some rainbow drunken mushrooms."
Tsushima Shuji trotted over and stepped on the ice. "It's really solid. Let's try to see how large an area we can freeze next time."
"This way I can skate anytime." Yuji Itadori had a flash of inspiration.
Tsushima Shuji gave a thumbs up: "That makes sense."
Kuroko Tetsuya envied: "In the summer, you can make ice drinks at will, so practical."
Knight: "Hey! Can you make ice sculptures?"
"I can make you into an ice sculpture." Feitan passed by and patted his shoulder.
Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned: "What are you all thinking about?"
A dozen people walked over easily, and Milna told them that they could pick the mushrooms directly.
"Can we go over there?" a candidate asked.
"They don't look like they're going to stop it."
While some people were hesitating, some brave candidates had already stepped onto the ice. Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others were picking mushrooms and ignored him.
Seeing this, others also went onto the ice.
The exam was completed beyond the examiner's expectations.
"Okay, now that we've picked some, let's eat some mushrooms together." The examiner pulled out a big pot and asked people to throw all the mushrooms in and wash them.
The washed mushrooms are indeed transparent and colorful, like delicate glass products, so beautiful that it makes people feel a little uneasy.
Yuji Itadori held his mushroom, which was about the size of two palms. He hesitated and said, "This shouldn't be the second smallest question in this exam, right?"
Milna had already taken a bite and said vaguely, "It's not poisonous at all. It's super delicious. Don't worry."
Just like its name, this mushroom has a slight smell of alcohol. People with poor alcohol tolerance will feel tipsy after eating it, but for most people, eating it is almost like eating a chocolate with alcohol filling and will not have any effect.
The taste is very smooth with a hint of sweetness, and the taste lingers on the tongue like some kind of exotic dessert.
"By the way, can snakes drink alcohol?" Sarasa looked at Agalini with concern.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was reminded: "This is not realgar wine, it should be fine."
"In fact, snakes are not afraid of realgar wine, they just hate it." said Kuroro.
"Snakes should be afraid of being hit in the most vulnerable part." Kuroko Tetsuya thought seriously.
Agalini's forehead was covered with black lines, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I'm a snake demon? Are you discussing this so seriously because you want to capture the snake demon?"
"No, no, just gain some knowledge."
"This mushroom just smells a bit like alcohol, but it's not real alcohol."
Milya looked at her sister in confusion, suspecting that she was drunk, or they were drunk, otherwise why were they discussing whether there were snakes or not? There was no snake at all.
Myrna burped.
Examiner Jesma also held her own mushroom, eating it while introducing the various methods of making rainbow drunken mushrooms. She also talked about what dishes she had created based on this food, and was completely immersed in her own dish creation.
The second exam.
Finish.
