Tonpa looked at Ryusei with some sweat on his forehead.
Normally, the laxative he added to the drink should be colorless and odorless.
Now it had been detected!
Of course, the more important thing was that even though Ryusei had detected it, he still drank it.
This also made Tonpa realize that his laxative might not be effective on Ryusei.
"I have other things to do. Let's talk later." Tonpa prepared to retreat.
Judging by the threat posed by Ryusei, he might not be able to defeat him.
"Okay! Let's talk sometime." Ryusei smiled and nodded.
He wasn't planning to do anything to Tonpa.
After Tonpa left, Ryusei took out a piece of beef jerky and started eating it.
At the same time, he silently observed the next person who came in.
Soon, Ryusei met Gittarackur No. 301.
After waiting for a while.
Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio walked in from the elevator.
After taking a look at Gon and the others.
Ryusei continued eating his beef jerky.
He didn't plan to get too close to Gon and the others.
On one hand, it was to avoid attracting Hisoka's attention.
You have to know that Hisoka paid close attention to Gon and the others.
On the other hand, it was also because he didn't really like Gon and Kurapika's personalities.
As a reinforcement-type, Gon was a bit stubborn and stuck to his own opinions.
Although this kind of person is very straightforward, he's also very troublesome.
As for Kurapika, he was too weak in front of Ryusei.
He bore the blood feud of having his entire clan wiped out and his eyes gouged out.
It could be said that he had an irreconcilable hatred for the Phantom Troupe.
His goal of becoming a hunter was also aimed at the Phantom Troupe.
As a result, after capturing Uvogin, he didn't kill him directly.
Resulting in the death of his own captain.
Afterward, he killed Uvogin, but he felt tormented in his heart.
This kind of personality really made Ryusei very uncomfortable.
As for Killua and Leorio.
Killua actually cared more about his friends.
But the only one who could truly be Killua's friend was probably Gon.
Kurapika and Leorio could only be considered friends to Killua.
He'd better not get any closer.
To avoid being targeted by Illumi, who was obsessed with his brother.
As for Leorio, he had an okay personality, valued friendship, and had a clear mind.
The only bad thing was that he seemed a bit rushed.
But he was already prepared to stay away from Gon and Kurapika.
Naturally, he didn't plan to have any interaction with Leorio.
Ryusei didn't plan to have any interaction with Gon and the others.
But Tonpa was different.
Seeing that the three newcomers, Gon and the others, were all unfamiliar faces.
The 'Rookie Killer' Tonpa suddenly became excited.
Soon, he approached Gon and the others and started chatting.
As they were chatting, a scream was suddenly heard.
When everyone looked over, they saw a candidate kneeling on the ground, and his hands slowly turned into petals and floated away.
Seeing this strange scene, the people around hurriedly dodged.
Soon, the only ones left in that area were the screaming candidate and the perverted fruit farmer, Hisoka.
Ryusei carefully observed the scattered petals.
He knew very well that these weren't real petals.
Instead, Hisoka had created them using his Nen ability, 'Texture Surprise.'
In fact, the candidate who was screaming should have had his arm cut off by Hisoka earlier.
But then Hisoka used Texture Surprise to fake the candidate's arm.
Then, he controlled the illusion to transform it into petals.
Hence, this strange scene.
Little did Hisoka know that someone had seen through his act.
At this moment, he was speaking with a somewhat weird smile.
"Oh my, this is incredible."
"The hand turned into flower petals and disappeared!"
"I didn't do anything." Hisoka's words made everyone realize that the scene before them was definitely related to Hisoka.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Hisoka warily.
Hisoka actually enjoyed this.
So Hisoka kindly looked at the candidate kneeling on the ground and gave him a reminder.
"Be careful, and apologize if you bump into someone!" Hisoka's words made everyone more certain that it was Hisoka who had done this to the candidate.
…
Gon and the others watched Hisoka's performance in shock, feeling the pressure in their hearts double.
Seeing this, Tonpa also told Gon and the others about the information regarding Hisoka and the Hunter Exam.
He used this to bring the two sides closer together.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Tonpa felt that Gon and the others were obviously easier to fool.
So he didn't wait any longer and took out his special drinks, sharing them with Gon and the others.
At the same time, he opened a can and started drinking.
Gon and Leorio weren't on guard at all and simply opened their drinks and prepared to drink.
And after Kurapika saw Tonpa drink the beverage.
He felt a lot more relieved immediately, so he opened the drink.
But just when Tonpa thought his conspiracy had succeeded.
Gon suddenly spat out the drink in his mouth.
"Mr. Tonpa, this drink is expired! It tastes weird." Gon said with a frown.
When Leorio, who was standing next to him, heard this, he quickly spat out the drink in his mouth.
Kurapika, who was about to drink, glanced at Tonpa thoughtfully.
"Really?! This is too dangerous!" Leorio was very thankful that he had almost drunk the expired beverage.
"Huh? That's really weird…" Tonpa scratched his head in embarrassment.
He was very puzzled that someone else had discovered there was something wrong with his drink!
Looking at Gon and the others.
Tonpa knelt on the ground very simply.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't notice it was expired."
Fortunately, Gon just thought the drink was expired.
Otherwise...
"It's okay, no need to apologize like that."
"Is Mr. Tonpa's stomach okay?" Gon looked at Tonpa with concern and asked.
After all, unlike them, Tonpa had drunk it.
In response to Gon's concern, Tonpa quickly responded.
"Ah? It's okay, it's okay!" He didn't even notice the problem. He's really naive.
Unfortunately, his method was useless, so he had to think of other ways.
"I always eat all kinds of grass and sprouts in the mountains."
"I can basically identify anything that tastes weird." Gon looked at Tonpa and explained.
Well, it was mainly because he was worried that Tonpa wouldn't believe that his drink was expired.
"Yes, that's right! That's amazing!" Tonpa always felt like he had heard this explanation before.
But Tonpa didn't care too much.
He glanced at Kurapika, who was already alert.
Tonpa hurriedly said goodbye.
"I'm sorry. Goodbye." There was no chance for now, so he naturally didn't want to continue wasting time on Gon and the others.
As he walked, he recalled the few times he had encountered setbacks before.
Tonpa became more and more excited.
This year's newcomers are truly amazing!
But the more this is the case, the more worth destroying!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ryusei took out a few pieces of chocolate and started eating them. He had to replenish his energy for what was coming next.
Several candidates nearby looked at Ryusei's pocket with confusion.
They saw Ryusei take out a large amount of food from his pocket!
But that pocket didn't look like it could hold so many things!
Before long, various candidates continued to struggle.
A strange ringing sound suddenly rang out.
Then the wall directly in front of them rose up.
