Chapter 170: Trick Tower
After having his fill, Blaize left the dining hall and toured the ship. It didn't take long for him to find the room where Gon and Killua are playing the ball game with Netero.
By the time, he reached the place, Killua came out with a pissed-off look. The latter was surprised to see him standing outside the door.
Seeing his expression, Blaize chuckled. "You quit too soon. I guess you don't have the skill to take the ball from the old man."
"I am in a bad now. Don't get in my way!" Killua spoke and tried to walk past but Blaize stopped him.
"Oh. What will you do if I block your way, Kill me?" Blaize asked with a playful expression.
Killua snapped. He didn't hesitate for a second to attack. He aimed directly for Blaize's heart while the nails in his hand turned razor-sharp like that of a beast claw.
But, Blaize effortlessly caught Killua's hand and tightened his grip making the other party moan in pain. "You should refrain from attacking me. If you do that again, I may accidentally kill you."
Saying this, Blaize emitted his Ren infusing it with ruthless killing intent. It was just a for a moment but it's enough to scare Killua so much.
With tremendous force, Killua broke free from his hold by twisting his hands and leaped back creating some distance between them.
Sweat formed on his forehead as he looked at Blaize in terror and fear. 'Run...You are not his opponent.' Illumi's thoughts engulfed his mind.
"Hey, I was just joking. Don't be afraid. You have to control your killing impulse. What will Gon think if he finds that you kill for the slightest grievance?" Blaize spread his hand and spoke.
Killua didn't buy it but Blaize's last sentence brought him back to his senses. He calmed his mind.
"Go and take some rest," Blaize said and entered the room where Gon and Netero are playing.

Inside the room,
Gon was using everything he got to take the ball from Netero. The soru technique he taught didn't give him an advantage against a character like Netero.
Still, the 'Soru' technique clearly surprised Netero as he didn't expect a kid like Gon to know such profound technique. With a glance, he could tell it would help Gon in the future.
"Click!" Blaize came inside. His sudden arrival made the two pause the game and look at him.
Seeing him, Gon shouted. "Blaize, you came at the right time. Netero-san said that he will give us the Hunter license if we get the ball." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝒄𝙤𝒎
"Really? It doesn't seem that hard." Blaize spoke with a slight smile.
"No. My offer is only for the two kids, not for others." Netero declined as he could tell Blaize isn't an ordinary person.
"I don't need your offer. Old man, I came to fight you, I hope you are as powerful as others say." Blaize spoke, revealing part of his aura astonishing Netero.
"Oh." Sensing his aura, Netero squinted his eyes. 'He's stronger than I thought. Maybe, I can warm up my old bones. But, who is he? why haven't I heard of him before?'
"First take the ball from me, then we will talk about the fight. What do you say?" Netero chuckled.
"Deal!" Blaize agreed as he was waiting for this. He was worried that the old man will decline his proposal.
Taking his white robe off, he walked towards the center of the room and stood opposite Netero. Cracking his neck, Blaize asked. "Can we start?"
"Sure."
Netero and Blaize stood face to face ready to attack any moment. The two moved at the same time,
Both of them looked at each other while lightning sparkled between them. Blaize made his move, dashing forward at extreme speed.
'Fast!' Netero punched his leg and backed away while Blaize pursued.
Blaize didn't use his full strength as doing would definitely destroy the airship. At the same time, he could tell Netero is also doing the same.
Meaning, they aren't using their full strength. They are competing with just speed and reflex.
On the side, Gon looked at the play with an astounded expression as he was having a hard time following the moving figures of both Blaize and Netero.
After a minute, Blaize showed a surprised expression. He had to agree, when it comes to pure speed and reflex Netero bests him.
'He's really strong.' Blaize mused. After all, he's a human who surpassed the limit of his body by training to the extreme. 'Looks like I won't be able to beat him without using Future sight.'
Thinking through, he didn't hold back his Observation Haki anymore.
The battle changed the next moment, Blaize's hands reached the ball easily. Though Netero reacted and saved it from falling into his hand, it happened again.
Netero couldn't believe his eyes. 'How can he predict my movements so accurately? Did he use Nen that's related to future?'
He didn't have the luxury to think as Blaize's speed and reflex began to match his. 'If this continues, I would lose.'
Netero suddenly increased his physical power and moved away from him. Blaize didn't continue to chase, he stopped in his tracks and looked at Netero. "You lost."
Netero didn't deny his words as he knew he's the one who lost his cool. If they continued to compete increasing their physical power, it would destroy the airship and put countless applicants' life in danger.
"We will meet after the hunter exam is over," Netero spoke.
"Good! Let's go Gon, you should take some rest!" Blaize left the room with Gon.
After he took his leave, Netero stroked his beard and was in serious thought. Pondering for a minute, he called someone and told them to check on Blaize's background.
'He's interesting!'

Next day,
The airship reached the next destination where the third phase of the hunter exam is going to be held: Trick Tower, a prison wherein long-term criminals are kept.
Once everyone landed, Beans stated the aim of the third phase of the hunter exam; which is to safely arrive at the bottom of Trick Tower within 72 hours.
The third phase started!
After a while, Kurapika realized that the number of people has decreased by half. At that time, Gon found the secret stone titles and the way in is to flip them.
After a discussion, they all picked a tile and entered the tower. Blaize also did the same. His appearance replaced Tonpa.
Like in the original series, they all ended up in the same room. They saw five watches in the room with two buttons on each of them: an X and O.
A door appeared once they wore the watch. The next moment, the voice of the third pace examiner, Lippo, came from the mic. He told them the rules.
They have to vote whether to open the door or not. Everybody voted to open and walked through the door that lead them to another room. freew ebnovel.com
After another puzzle, they advanced to a large room with a platform in the middle. On the other side, there are five prisoners. They must beat at least three of them in a challenge to advance in the tower.
Lippo once explained the rules. "You will be fighting against the five of them. The fights will be one on one and you can only fight once. There can be no draws.
The prisoners' sentence will be reduced by one year for every hour they delay the applicants. In other words, their goal is to buy time."
The first prisoner is Bendot. He came forward and spoke. "I'm up first. Choose your combatant."
