Chapter 28: Surrender x Battle with Hanzo

On the field,

Lorlin looked at the little kid in front of him and sighed inwardly.

It wasn’t that Gon was particularly strong, but getting him to surrender was incredibly difficult.

In the original storyline, Gon had endured three hours of torment in his match against Hanzo without ever saying the word “surrender.”

When it came to tormenting others, Lorlin didn’t believe he could compare to Hanzo.

Of course, if he resorted to some low-level threats, he could force Gon to give in.

But threatening a twelve-year-old with those tactics was beneath him. He couldn’t afford to lose face.

Lorlin sighed heavily.

In the previous exam, it was Gon’s sudden attack that had allowed him to escape from Hisoka so easily.

Otherwise, it was hard to predict what Hisoka would have done to someone in such a vulnerable state.

At this moment, Gon looked serious and excited as he stared at Lorlin.

After the second test on the airship and the encounter with Hisoka in the fourth test, Gon had seen everything.

He could be considered one of the few who truly understood Lorlin’s strength.

However, this was precisely why Gon felt a thrill about their upcoming match.

But…

Lorlin raised his hand and said.

Gon was stunned for a moment and then grew anxious.

Lorlin tilted his head, looking at Gon.

Gon wanted to insist they give it a try, but he knew deep down that he wasn’t Lorlin’s match.

Lorlin asked again.

Gon replied emphatically.

Lorlin shrugged.

Gon insisted, looking worried.

He still wanted to have a proper fight with Lorlin!

Lorlin’s words left Gon with no retort.

Gon found himself at a loss for words. He realized that his idea of victory might actually lead to that scenario.

However…

This wasn’t the kind of victory Gon wanted, and he felt he wouldn’t be happy at all!

Seeing Gon in turmoil, Lorlin ignored him and directly addressed the referee.

Gon hurriedly called out.

Gon’s words were cut off as the referee loudly announced the result.

After announcing the result, the referee shot a glance at Gon.

After the referee’s announcement, Lorlin walked off the stage, while Gon stood there, still wanting to argue with the referee.

Unfortunately…

The referee coldly ignored Gon, loudly declaring the next match to begin.

As for Gon…

He was forcibly pulled back by Leorio.

The second match was Hisoka versus Kurapika.

The outcome of this battle held no surprises.

After a bout that could hardly be called a fight, Hisoka was very satisfied with Kurapika’s potential.

Whispering some intel about the Phantom Troupe in Kurapika’s ear, he chose to surrender.

Compared to Gon, Kurapika wasn’t so sentimental.

Faced with Hisoka’s surrender and the information about the Troupe, Kurapika accepted this victory without a hint of resistance.

Then came the third match.

Lorlin looked at Hanzo with satisfaction; the man’s powerful hairstyle was what he expected from a worthy opponent.

Unlike his fight with Gon, which felt like bullying a child.

The referee said seriously to both of them.

Hanzo walked onto the stage and greeted the referee with a smile.

The referee remained silent.

Hanzo laughed.

The referee replied.

Hanzo said nonchalantly.

Below the stage,

Gon and Leorio felt awkward.

Yep.

They were the only two who hadn’t realized they were being followed.

Lorlin interrupted directly.

If he didn’t cut in, Hanzo could easily chat for ten more minutes.

Having been interrupted by Lorlin, the referee quickly regained composure and cleared his throat awkwardly.

the referee announced.

With the start signal,

Hanzo, who had been joking around with the referee, suddenly turned serious, moving a few steps to the side.

He transitioned from stillness to rapid motion, charging toward Lorlin from his blind spot.

However…

Lorlin slightly shifted his stance, facing the charging Hanzo, and then struck out with a palm, unleashing terrifying power.

The originally aggressive Hanzo was sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall of the hall.
