Becoming a God at Level 100, Starting from Hunter x Hunter - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Netero’s Evasion x People are Numb

Hunter Association!

Headquarters!

President’s Office!

Netero was sitting there with a serious expression… playing on his computer.

What? Work?

Of course, work is for the secretary! The president’s job is just to sign the reports the secretary brings in!

Ring, ring~

The phone on the desk suddenly rang. Without even glancing at the caller, Netero picked up the phone.

Before Netero could even speak, Biscuit’s voice came from the other end.

“Hey, old man, where did you find that little monster?!”

“Oh-ho! It’s you, Biscuit! So, you’ve met the little guy? What do you think? I wasn’t lying, right? He’s a genius who can give this old man a run for his money.”

Netero chuckled, but his hands didn’t slow down in their computer gaming.

“Cut the nonsense. I’m asking you, is there no problem with that little monster’s identity?” Biscuit’s voice suddenly became serious.

“Identity? What about his identity?” Netero asked, feigning confusion.

“You old fart, don’t tell me you didn’t notice. That kid’s body is something no ordinary human could have,” Biscuit cursed directly.

“That’s exactly why I said he’s a genius!” Netero chuckled.

“You old fart, you…” Biscuit fell silent for a moment, then said begrudgingly, “Fine then, I’m going to start teaching him nen, alright!”

“Whether to teach a novice hunter nen has always been your right as a secret examiner. Why are you asking me, old man?” Netero continued staring at his computer, still chuckling lightly.

“Hmph, just you wait, you old fart!” Biscuit snorted and said sharply, “Next year, at the latest by the second half of next year, I’ll send that little monster to give you a beating!”

Hearing this, Netero finally reacted.

Level Clear!

The words popped up on his game screen, making Netero grin even more. He then leisurely replied, “Well, I’ll be waiting.”

With that, Netero hung up the phone.

At the same time, in an office far from Netero’s, a certain youth with a radiant smile also hung up the phone.

The phone vanished the moment it was disconnected, obviously a creation of nen.

On the other side.

“Damn old fart.”

Biscuit cursed in frustration at the now disconnected call.

She didn’t believe for a second that the old fart wouldn’t have noticed something she herself had.

She also suspected that the reason the old fart had sent her was because he expected her to discover the anomaly.

Otherwise, even sending any random hunter to teach Lorin nen would have been enough for him to grow quickly—it would have just been a matter of sooner or later.

“Old fart, if you think I’m going to take the blame for this, you’re dreaming! When the time comes, I’ll have my disciple beat you to death!!” Biscuit muttered angrily to herself as she carried her luggage back.

When she returned to the camp, she spotted Lorin exercising in the distance.

She paused for a moment, gritted her teeth, and muttered under her breath.

“A perfect human? You’d better really be human!!!”

“Biscuit, you’re back already! When do we start training?” Lorin asked eagerly as he noticed Biscuit’s return.

Biscuit didn’t respond immediately, instead walking up to Lorin with a stern expression.

Seeing her serious face, Lorin frowned and asked, “What’s wrong, Biscuit? Did something happen?”

“Kid, I don’t care who or what you are, but next year, or at the latest the year after, you’re going to the Hunter Association headquarters to give that old fart Netero a beating. Can you do that?” Biscuit said seriously.

Lorin: “…”

Don’t care who I am?

Next year, or the year after, go to the Hunter Association and beat up Netero?

His identity, and Netero too… wasn’t Biscuit clearly telling him that she had already noticed something off about him?

So, had he been exposed again?

Lorin felt numb.

However, from Biscuit’s current demeanor, it was clear that Netero hadn’t been the one to tell her, so… had she figured it out on her own?

Lorin instinctively recalled the way Biscuit had examined his body earlier.

Damn it, I trusted you! I let you inspect and play around with my body, and now you’re using it against me!

But…

Unlike Netero, with no other evidence besides his body, Biscuit probably hadn’t guessed his true identity, only noticing some abnormality and deeming him a hassle.

After all, she was a veteran who had roamed the world for years, and she knew many of its secrets.

Dark Continent, the Five Great Calamities… she had likely heard of them.

So…

Did she think Netero had dumped a problem on her?

Lorin quickly analyzed Biscuit’s state and thoughts.

“Well? Can you do it or not? Give me a straight answer!” Biscuit snapped, not bothering with Lorin’s inner contemplation.

Her expression clearly said: If you don’t agree, I’ll make you pay.

“I’ll do it! I’ve wanted to beat up that old man for a while now!” Lorin agreed without hesitation.

Forget everything else for now.

Seeing how determined Biscuit was, it was obvious she had already decided to teach him nen. He’d agree first, learn nen, and then worry about the rest.

As for beating Netero… if he was still in this world by next year or the year after, what harm would there be in giving the old man a beating?

“Good! With that kind of spirit, we’ll start your nen training today!” Biscuit decided immediately.

Lorin’s heart soared with joy.

Could the surprise come any sooner?

“Great! But Biscuit, can I ask… what exactly is wrong with my body?” Lorin suddenly asked.

He wasn’t curious about how Biscuit had figured him out.

He just wanted to be more careful in the future, to avoid being exposed again.

Hearing his question, Biscuit gave Lorin a deep look. She didn’t hide anything and directly explained the abnormalities she had noticed in his physical condition and life energy.
