Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 1 Crossing the Hunter Exam

"Drip, drip—"

A torrential downpour was falling from the sky. Ailiji lay on the muddy ground, rainwater sliding down his sculpted face.

"I'm too tired, let's just destroy it!" Eligi muttered.

Just then, a boy with dark circles under his eyes and a gourd on his back walked over and gently kicked Ailiji, saying, "Stop pretending to be dead, get up quickly."

"Oh!" Eligi immediately stood up from the ground, looked around, and saw that all the people chasing him were lying on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Eligi couldn't help but exclaim, "Gaara, you're really reliable!"

Eligi is not from this Hunter world; he came from another world and subsequently became the target of a chase.

During this process, Eligi developed a Nen ability called "Nen Beast Collection" using a strange bead, which allows him to extract Nen beasts from anything he deems valuable.

As a modern person, Eliji believed that the most valuable thing was money, so during the pursuit, he used tens of millions of Jenny to materialize Gaara.

This is also what allowed Ailiji to survive being hunted down for three months.

"If you don't leave, I'll leave you here." Gaara turned and strode forward, his expression icy.

Upon seeing this, Ailiji couldn't help but sigh, "He's just not very cute!"

And so, Eriji and Gaara continued to evade their pursuers. Over the course of three months, they gathered some information: the people chasing them were members of the Meteor City Elders' Association.

It seems that Eligi stole some extraordinary Nen item before his death, which is why he has been relentlessly hunted down by people sent by the Elder Council.

Eliji was getting desperate from being chased, so he decided to take the Hunter Exam to escape the pursuit and take a break during the exam.

That's right, Eligi plans to take a break while taking the Hunter Exam. He figures the people sent by the Elder Council won't dare cause trouble on the Hunter Association's territory.

A few days later ————

Eriji and Gaara boarded a ship. There weren't many people on board; Eriji's group was probably the first to board.

This boat is about 30 to 40 meters long, which is considered a medium-sized boat, and it can accommodate about a hundred people.

The ships were sent by the Hunter Association to conduct the initial screening of candidates. After all, millions of people participate in the Hunter Exam every year, so the main venue cannot accommodate so many people together.

The country where the exam is held probably wouldn't allow so many people to gather in one place at the same time.

Therefore, it's quite normal for the Hunter Exam to have a pre-screening process.

As soon as they boarded the ship, everyone began to observe each other, and many eyes turned to Gaara and Eriji.

Because they were the youngest of the two, Gaara was probably only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, while Eriji wasn't very old either, probably just turned eighteen.

Therefore, most of the people on the ship were looking at Gaara, since Gaara's appearance was quite unusual.

Not only is the character for "love" etched on his forehead, but he also has thick dark circles under his eyes and carries a large gourd on his back. Even if Ai Liji saw such a person outside, he couldn't help but take a second look.

"Gaara, I'm going to train for a bit!" Eligi yawned, went into the cabin, found a warm spot, and lay down, while Gaara sat to the side, with the half-person-tall gourd placed aside.

After an unknown amount of time, the ship started moving again, and Eligi, being so tired, drifted off to sleep.

Although he was half asleep, Ailiji was not completely asleep, but remained in a semi-conscious state, a habit he had developed after being hunted for three months.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Ailiji opened his eyes and looked around. Because more people were boarding the ship, a blond-haired boy entered the cabin and caught his attention.

This person should be Kurapika, one of the main characters and the last member of the Kurta clan. He has a pair of fiery red eyes and is one of the seven beauties in the Hunter world. It is said that these pupils only appear when Kurta is angry.

So this group of people died a terrible death, and it seems that they were related to, or even directly related to, the people in the garbage dump.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my ally. Kurapika might become an ally, so Eliji couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Kurapika also felt the gaze and looked back, but in the end his gaze was fixed on Gaara, because Gaara's appearance was just too attractive.

"Da da da da da da da—"

Just as the two sides were staring at each other, many people on the deck entered the cabin, and those who entered the cabin would more or less glance at Gaara.

Who can blame Gaara for being so unique!

"There are seven people with murderous intent; they must be assassins," Gaara said.

Upon hearing this, Ailiji's expression became serious, and his hands unconsciously clenched. He was not a weakling; he possessed considerable fighting ability.

If he were just an ordinary person, Eligi wouldn't have come to participate in some hunter test for a break.

"Don't misuse my sand," Gaara said coldly.

Eligi looked somewhat embarrassed after hearing this. Gaara, as a Nen beast, was able to use the corresponding skills.

However, after Eligi used it, Gaara was unable to use the corresponding ninjutsu.

However, this shouldn't have much impact on Gaara. Eligi is just using a sand shield ninjutsu that combines defense and offense.

The main problem is that it requires sand produced by Gaara to use, which is a bit troublesome.

Now that we're on the ship, there's no land for Gaara to polish his sand, which is why Gaara reminded Eligi not to use the sand recklessly.

But it didn't matter. Even without sand, Eligi still had offensive weapons: pistols. He'd seized them from the assassins, and he carried two with four magazines.

After more than three months on the run, Ailiji's pistol skills have improved considerably; he can kill someone with an empty magazine without much trouble.

However, it is definitely not as powerful as Sand Shield Barrage Sand Rain. This ninjutsu can shoot out a large amount of round sand, just like using a machine gun, and its power can turn rocks into sieves.

It can be said that its power is even better than that of a real machine gun.

Kurapika, who was in the distance, seemed to sense a murderous aura as well, but his main purpose was to participate in the Hunter Exam, so he did not want to get involved in other people's battles. Therefore, he moved back a little and watched everything with a cold gaze.

"Go!" The assassins who boarded the ship didn't hold back much. After confirming their target, they charged forward.

Gaara slung the gourd back over his shoulder, his gaze cold as he looked at the charging attackers, showing no mercy whatsoever. He stretched out his hand and said, "Sand Binding Coffin!"
