Early in the morning.
The voice of Beans came over the airship's PA system.
"Attention all candidates. Candidates whose number plates are called, please proceed to the reception room on the second floor for an interview with the Chairman."
"We will start with candidate Number 44, Mr. Hisoka."
"Candidates who are called, please make sure to arrive at the designated location within half an hour."
"That is all."
The broadcast echoed clearly in every corner of the airship, including the room where Yuu was.
"Interview...?"
Yuu rubbed his eyes, getting up from the bed groggily. It took him a while to figure out what was going on.
After waking up a bit, Yuu simply washed up and brushed his teeth, then took out fresh bandages to cover his eyes. He pushed open the door and walked towards the reception room on the second floor mentioned in the broadcast.
After all, he and Hisoka were the only candidates left on the airship. Once Hisoka's interview was over, he would naturally be next.
"I wonder what Chairman Netero wants to learn from the interview... maybe it's related to the final test."
Yuu pondered as he walked, and soon found the reception room on the second floor. Looking up, he saw the familiar Beans standing at the door.
Beans greeted Yuu as he approached:
"Good morning, candidate Number 672."
"Hello."
Yuu responded with a smile. Although he felt the way the other party addressed him was a bit strange, he didn't say much.
Beans said politely: "You must have heard the broadcast and came over early to wait for the interview, right?"
"That's right." Yuu nodded and asked casually:
"By the way, that guy Hisoka... how long has he been in there?"
"Hisoka?"
Beans thought for a moment and realized:
"You mean... candidate Number 44. He's been in there for over ten minutes, he should be out soon."
As he spoke, Hisoka pushed open the door and walked out. Upon noticing the two at the door, he paused briefly, squinting at Yuu with a gaze full of anticipation and fighting spirit.
Yuu didn't shy away either, keeping his eyes on Hisoka until the latter turned and left.
"..."
Yuu silently watched Hisoka's back, vaguely sensing that the other party was in a better mood today, not as cold and silent as the previous few days.
It seemed to be the effect of the meeting.
At this moment, Beans spoke to Yuu, who was still dazing: "You can go in now."
"Although you probably haven't met Chairman Netero yet, he is a very gentle person, so don't feel too much pressure.
"Just answer the questions truthfully. This interview will not determine the exam results."
"Okay." Yuu nodded.
He pushed open the door and walked into the reception room. Looking up, he saw a kind-looking old man sitting by a tea table, with a calligraphy scroll with the character "Heart" hanging behind him.
Netero glanced at the visitor simply, sized him up slightly, and said in a calm tone:
"Please sit."
Hearing this, Yuu sat down properly on the cushion in front of Netero.
Looking at the figure in front of him, the image quickly overlapped with the Chairman in Yuu's memory.
It was his first time seeing the living Netero with his own eyes.
He couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Candidate Number 672, Yuu Gojo..."
Netero scratched his non-existent hair, glanced briefly at the information, moved his gaze back to Yuu's face, and said:
"Next, I need to ask you a few questions as a reference for the final test... If possible, please answer truthfully."
"First question, who impressed you the most among the candidates in this Hunter Exam?"
Hearing this, Yuu answered almost without thinking:
"Number 44, Hisoka."
"Oh? The reason...?" Netero was a little curious.
"Because that guy is dangerous, but very strong, and his temperament is also unique... Basically anyone who sees him will pay attention to him," Yuu explained.
"I see." Netero nodded thoughtfully: "Next question."
"Regarding the remaining candidate Number 44, what do you think is his advantage?"
Yuu knew Hisoka quite well, so after a brief thought, he quickly gave an answer:
"I think... Hisoka's biggest advantage should be his application and understanding of his 'own ability'.
"Also, his physical fitness and combat skills are much stronger than mine. If it's purely a physical fight, I probably can't beat him."
Hearing this, Netero understood that the 'ability' Yuu mentioned referred to 'Nen ability'.
After simply recording it, he asked:
"Last question, what do you think is your own advantage?"
This question made Yuu pause. After all, it involved many of his trump cards. For a moment, he had to think carefully about what to say and what not to say.
Yuu prevaricated: "My advantage... should be that I have seen Hisoka's 'ability', but he hasn't seen mine yet. Maybe I'll have a chance to catch him off guard later."
Yuu didn't tell the truth. While saying this... his mind thought of the black cat Nen beast that only alternated between 'eating' and 'sleeping'. His inner thoughts completely contradicted his verbal description.
"Information gap..." Netero said lightly, recalling the scene he saw in the third phase of the exam, and couldn't help but wonder what Yuu's Nen ability was.
And how he avoided his detection, making him completely unable to discern the category of the Nen ability.
After Netero looked down and confirmed that the recorded content was correct, he said kindly:
"Thank you for your hard work. The interview is over, you can leave now."
...
The conversation was easier than imagined.
Yuu pushed open the door and looked up to see Beans who had been waiting there.
Seeing Yuu walk out of the room, Beans said:
"After the interview, you can go back to your room to rest first."
"In the next two days, the Chairman allows candidates to move freely within the airship. One hour before arriving at the exam site, I will also make an announcement on the broadcast. Please pay close attention then and don't miss the time for the final exam."
"Then, I'll take my leave."
Just as Beans was about to leave, Yuu asked from behind:
"Is there a room like a training room on this airship? If possible, I want to borrow a spacious place to improve my condition..."
"There is a training room dedicated to the Chairman, but if you want to use it, you have to get the consent of the Chairman himself. I'm just a secretary and can't make decisions on my own..."
Before Beans could finish speaking, the sound of the door opening and Netero's voice came from the side:
"Want to borrow my training room... As long as you don't make a mess inside, use it if you want."
It happened that when Netero pushed the door out of the reception room, he heard Yuu's request and agreed casually.
"The training room is in the middle of the first floor. The material and size of the door are different from ordinary rooms. You should be able to find it easily..."
"I have things to do. If you really can't find it, ask Beans to take you there. I believe he will be happy to show you the way."
After Netero finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
Having received the Chairman's permission, Beans also offered: "Then let me take you there."
"Trouble you." Yuu simply thanked him.
...
After gathering the thoughts of Hisoka and Yuu, Netero sat alone in the room, and soon decided on the rules for the final assessment.
"Deciding the winner by scoring... feels quite interesting."
Netero wrote down the rules he formulated on paper, then summoned the examiners and announced his idea.
Surprisingly... this rule received unanimous approval from the examiners, which was rare.
