I'm in HxH, Survive for Five Years!

"Poor kid!" Ethan thought as he watched Killua walk back to the sidelines with his head lowered.

The outcome of the battle was predetermined from the start.

Although Killua's strength was close to Hanzo's, the mind needle implanted by Illumi in Killua's head meant that unless Killua had a clear advantage, he would panic and give up once a stalemate occurred.

During the fourth exam, Ethan had already discovered the mind needle hidden in Killua's head, so he knew exactly what state Killua was in now.

"But thank you for the insights you provided!"

Killua's situation flashed briefly through Ethan's mind before he focused on the gains from observing the match.

With extraordinary insight and his own knowledge, Ethan learned several techniques from both Killua and Hanzo.

For example, their movement skills and Killua's frequently used 'claw' technique, among others.

Having gained considerable knowledge, Ethan was in a very good mood.

The sixth match began, featuring Hisoka and Leorio.

It mirrored the previous battle between Hisoka and Kurapika.

After a brief fight with Leorio, Hisoka chose to admit defeat again.

Clearly, Hisoka also recognized Leorio as a potential candidate worthy of growth after testing him.

The seventh match featured Killua and Illumi, the last player in the left group.

This match unfolded exactly as it did in the original story.

Just as Killua was about to act, Illumi dropped his disguise.

"Give up, Killua. Being a Hunter isn't your future; being an assassin is the career you should choose. Return home now, and I can still forgive you..."

Following Illumi's shocking revelation, a strong, malicious aura enveloped Killua, and the mind needle in his head activated, leaving Killua utterly confused.

"I...I give up!"

Killua couldn't resist Illumi's intimidation. After struggling briefly, he silently raised his hands and admitted defeat. He didn't even continue the match, instead turning around and leaving the examination venue.

"It's over."

Seeing Killua leave, Ethan knew this marked the end of the Hunter exam.

Indeed, Killua's departure directly determined his elimination, and Netero soon announced the conclusion of the exam.

"The issuance of the Hunter license and related matters will be held in the conference room tomorrow. Candidates can proceed to their assigned rooms to rest and wait for tomorrow."

After some final instructions, Ethan called Lisa to leave and returned to their assigned room.

"It's finally over. Once I get the Hunter license, gathering intelligence should become much easier!" Back in their room, Lisa stretched, showcasing her figure even through her combat uniform.

Ethan sat on the sofa and waved to Lisa. She rolled her eyes but walked over, eventually sitting on his lap.

With his arms naturally encircling her waist, Ethan smiled and said, "When we get back, I'm planning to take over the title of the Sky Arena champion first!"

Lisa looked at Ethan in surprise. "Champion?! I thought you weren't interested in that?"

"I wasn't interested before, but things are different now," Ethan replied with a slight smile.

Things had indeed changed. The main achievements released by the system included becoming the champion or even the poster of a fighting tournament.

Ethan was already a contender on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena, with a winning streak of seven games. Just three more wins would qualify him to challenge the champion, and he was ready to achieve that goal.

Lisa pondered Ethan's change of heart when he suddenly picked her up.

"Okay, whatever needs doing can wait until after we get the Hunter license. Let's rest for now!" Ethan carried Lisa towards the bed, filling the room with laughter soon after.

...

The next day.

After a good night's rest, Ethan and Lisa were led by Hunter Association staff to a tiered conference room.

All the other candidates, except Gon, who hadn't woken up yet, were present.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully passing this Hunter exam. Next, I'll explain some information about our association, as well as the methods and key points of using the Hunter license..."

Netero and a bean-faced man entered the conference room shortly after, with the bean-faced man providing a series of explanations to Ethan and the others.

Meanwhile, other staff members distributed Hunter licenses to everyone.

"Is this a Hunter license..."

Lisa, sitting next to Ethan, took out the Hunter license from the bookcase on the table in front of her and examined it with interest.

Ethan did the same, but as he picked up the Hunter license, the system's notification chimed in his mind.

"Ding dong~! Congratulations to the host for completing the [Professional Hunter] achievement and receiving rewards: [Emperor Engine], [Mingshen Pill × 5], and [Gravity Ring]!"

The bean-faced man's words faded from Ethan's attention, completely absorbed by the system's notification.

"Finally here?" Ethan felt invigorated.

After the last exam, he had awaited the rewards, but the system remained silent. It seemed obtaining the Hunter license was necessary to complete the achievement.

Without hesitation, Ethan carefully examined the rewards he received.

[Emperor Engine]: Converts the heartbeat into powerful energy. Initially increases physical condition by 10%, with a maximum increase of 100%. Also possesses danger-sensing early warning abilities.

[Mingshen Pill]: A treasure pill for spiritual enlightenment. Taking it enhances spiritual energy.
