Chapter 171: Fourth Phase
"I will go," Blaize spoke and came forward before the others could decide.
"Blaize..." Gon looked at him.
"Are you sure?" Kurapika asked.
"Nothing to worry about, they are just a bunch of criminals!" Blaize walked to the stage at the center while his opponent did the same.
"Now, let us determine the method of combat. I propose a death match!" Bendot proposed.
"No problem. Can we start?" Blaize nonchalantly agreed, but Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio were dismayed.
"Will Blaize be okay?" Leorio asked.
"You guys don't know him well. None of the criminals aren't his opponents." Killua uttered as he know Blaize's strength to some extent.
Bendot didn't rush to attack, he studied Blaize. His opponent's untroubled and composed look rang warnings in his mind.
He could tell Blaize didn't take him seriously as the latter didn't put any guard against him as if he knew he would win. This kind of confidence made him uneasy.
Gritting his teeth, Bendot decided to attack as he has no other choice and can't give up. The next moment, he leaped high in the air and came at Blaize.
He aimed for his throat. Facing his attack, Blaize stood without any care in the world.
"Swoosh!"
Blaize simply waved his hand when Bendot was centimeters away from gripping his throat and the latter's head flew in the air while his headless body dropped to the ground.
There was pin-drop silence as no one except Killua understood how Bendot was killed. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Blaize calmly walked back to his team's side.
Killua looked at Blaize in terror as only he saw clearly what happened at that moment. Blaize waved his hand at an extreme speed, generating some sort of wind blade that severed Bendot's head.
The criminals on the side came out of their daze, they looked at Blaize with fearful expressions and at the same time felt relieved that they don't have to face him.
Inside the monitoring room, Lippo similarly witnessed what happened. Just like others, he too didn't see how Blaize killed Bendot. 'He's strong!'
The next prisoner is Sedokan, who has been sentenced to 149 years for serial bombings. Gon volunteered to face him. "I will go"
Like in the series, Sedokan proposes a match to see whose candle burns the longest. Gon chooses the longer candle, unaware no matter what candle he chooses it's going to burn faster.
Thanks to his quick thinking and reaction, Gon kept his candle on the floor and sprinted toward Sedokan to blow his candle out. Just like that, he won.
Unlike in the series, they won both matches without much effort. They just need to win another one to advance to the next round.
But instead of Majtani who was supposed to face Kurapika, Johness the serial killer came forward. His appearance alerted Leorio who seemed to know about him.
"We should give up this match?" Leorio suggested.
But now, it was destroyed with a single blow. 'He's dangerous!'
Using the short path, they directly reached the finish line. In the final space, they saw Hisoka, Gittarackur, and Hanzo.
"We finally reached." Leorio exhaled.
They all have passed the Third Phase of the Hunter Exam, they just need to wait for the remaining time before moving to the fourth phase.

After seventy hours, they exited the Trick tower along with other hunter applicants who passed the third phase. Finally, there were twenty-five candidates.
As soon as they came out, Lippo greeted and congratulated them. "Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations on passing the third phase of the hunter exam
Only the fourth phase and final one remain. The fourth phase will take place on Zevil Island." He pointed at the island behind them.
The next moment, an examiner comes with a wheeled table with a box on it. Lippo then told them they need to draw lots.
"To determine who will hunt and who will be hunted." Lippo then called them to draw the lots in the order they exited the tower. Hisoka is first, followed by Illumi and Hanzo.
The fourth one is Blaize. He went forward to draw the lot which was sealed, concealing the information within it.
Once everyone drew the card, Lippo spoke. "Everyone took the card? Now, remove the seal from your card!"
As everyone looked into the card, Lippo revealed the application of the card. "The card indicates the target!"
As soon as he said it, everyone hurriedly hid their own ID tag.
"The box has recorded which card was drawn by who. The objective is to steal your target's badge.
Naturally, you are allowed to use any method you choose to steal ID tags, including killing your target and taking the tag off from the corpse."
Lippo continued. "Listen carefully. Your target's ID is worth 3 points. Your own ID is also worth 3 points. All other ID tags are worth 1 point.
You will need 6 points in total to advance to the final phase. So, in zevil Island you have to collect six points to advance to the next phase."
After that, all of them entered a small steamboat that took them to Zevil Island.
On the boat, Blaize looked at the number tag in his hand: 301. He knew it was Illumi's ID tag number, 'My luck is good. I thought it would be boring.'
After two hours, the boat reached Zevil Island. The Fourth Phase of the hunter exam began.
