If You're A Man, Come Out And Fight Me Fair And Square

"I feel like my body has become very different from before..."

Gon looked at his hands, and the powerful aura that emerged from them expanded almost a circle.

The upgraded version of Calypso Serum not only greatly enhanced Gon's physical fitness but also further improved his life energy.

Naturally, the aura in his body also increased a lot.

However, in addition to these obvious increases in energy and physical strength, Gon's own potential has also been further enhanced.

"It seems that there is no problem."

Biscuit looked Gon up and down and found that his current state was surprisingly good, and there were no other side effects.

She couldn't help but temporarily put her mind at ease and nodded slightly.

"Just right, let me see if you can withstand my further training now!!"

Biscuit put her fist and palm together and said in a very calm tone.

"Further... training?!"

Gon, who was checking his physical condition, and Killua, who was also checking with him, both raised their heads at the same time.

As they watched flames metaphorically ignite behind Bisky, both of them instinctively shrank back, their eyes turning into tiny dots.

"Ah, that's right..."

Biscuit bumped her fists together again: "You guys are really brave!"

"You actually went to provoke those monsters that even Chairman Netero and Lan had to deal with in person!!"

"Sometimes I even wonder if you look harmless on the surface but actually have little wild beasts in your heart."

Behind her, Cookie, Biscuit's Nen ability, was smiling, further intensifying the overwhelming aura Biscuit was exuding.

"No, we are just training with Kite, so we didn't do those stupid things beyond our capabilities!"

Gon protested while Killua nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Yes, that's right! In fact, we are also victims!!"

"Victims?! Victims without any injuries? I think you have great skills!"

Biscuit sneered: "Let me train you again!!"

"Wait, wait! No, don't... Ahhh!!"

The two of them immediately ran away in panic.

Palm, who was hiding outside the door and peeking in this direction, couldn't help but nod secretly after watching the whole process.

"Well, with Biscuit's guidance, they will definitely grow."

"In this way, they will have the greatest chance of defeating Knuckle and Shoot, and I can also enter the NGL and go to teacher Knov!! "

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Palm took a last glance at Gon and Killua, who were officially trained by Biscuit and quietly retreated.

Since their training had officially begun, it was time for her to ensure everything else was properly arranged.

It must be said that Palm's cooking skills are absolutely first-class.

Her culinary skills were on par with professional Gourmet Hunters, capable of preparing dishes that were visually stunning and bursting with flavor.

As she went off to prepare food, Gon and Killua's training was getting into full swing.

As for the other two groups who were competing with them for the talisman…

"Why haven't they made any moves until now?!"

Inside the town, in an inconspicuous cafe, a man with a crew cut, a fierce and murderous look, said viciously.

"Could it be that they don't know that we have already issued a declaration of war to them?"

Across from the man with the crew cut, a man dressed in purple clothes, who looked like a ronin, whispered.

"After all, we did erase our message from the blackboard..."

"That's because we didn't know that we had to fight for the wooden tile!"

The man with the crew cut emphasized: "Now that we know, there's no reason to sit back. We're both hunters and each other's prey; there's no way we can just coexist peacefully!"

"It's time for a real battle. Let's see who's the stronger hunter!"

After saying that, he crossed his arms and leaned back confidently.

The ronin-looking man hesitated, his face showing doubt... and even a hint of fear. "So, what do you want to do, Knuckle?"

Shoot asked his fellow apprentice and partner weakly.

"The other party should not know that we have challenged them..."

Knuckle rubbed his chin in thought. "According to normal thinking, logic, and reason, and the correct approach, we should hide in the dark, wait for the enemy to show their feet, and then take the opportunity to take them down!!"

When he said this, the veins on his vicious face kept bulging: "But!! As a hunter and, more importantly, as a man—"

"A true man doesn't resort to underhanded tricks!!"

"How can a man use treacherous tricks in such a matter?!!"

"This isn't just about a fight; it's about proving who's fit to join the Chimera Ant Extermination Team to face the Chimera Ants!"

"So, we must defeat them fair and square! If we win, it has to be undeniable! If we lose, we accept it with honor!"

Knuckle's passionate speech echoed throughout the cafe.

Shoot sighed. "I see... But, uh... how exactly do you plan to do that?"

Knuckle grinned.

With decisive action, he grabbed two small flags and planted them on his shoulders.

Then, he pulled out a megaphone, strode out onto the streets, and loudly proclaimed: "Hey, you guys holding the other two wooden tiles, listen up!!"

"If you're a man, come out and fight me fair and square!!"

"I am Knuckle!!!"
