He sees Leorio and saves him from Hisoka. Meanwhile, Gon notices that the other two are nowhere near and promptly searches for them. Leorio later turns back to face Hisoka, who promptly hits him in the face, knocking him unconscious. Then Hisoka turns his attention to Kurapika and Leorio, who are nearby, and the two escape.

Hisoka plays examiner and promptly finishes them off. Some applicants want Hisoka to stop taking the exam, deeming him unworthy. Many of the applicants are ambushed by several of the creatures along the wetlands. Leorio and Kurapika get separated from the other two, who are ahead of them. He then tells the applicants to follow him into the swamp. Satotz proves himself to be the real examiner by resisting Hisoka's attack and warns him not to attack again. Hisoka attacks the two 'examiners', killing the fake. A man shows up, claims to be the examiner, and accuses Satotz of being a masquerading man-faced ape. After passing through the tunnel, they arrive at the Milsy Wetlands, also known as Swindlers' Swamp which is teeming with cunning creatures. He also reveals his friend in the past, who died due to a disease. Leorio reveals that he aims to be a Hunter to finance his studies to become a doctor and help the poor. When Leorio joins Kurapika, Kurapika shares with Leorio his will to hunt the Phantom Troupe who massacred his clan for their Scarlet Eyes. Leorio nearly gives up and stops, but as he sees Gon waiting for him, he gains the motivation to catch up with the rest of the candidates. Satotz, the first examiner introduces himself and tells the participants to follow him through the tunnel as part of the first exam phase.Īs applicants drop from fatigue, Gon befriends Killua. Other applicants are introduced the most notable are Hisoka, who nearly killed an examiner from last year's examination, and Killua, who shows to be tolerant of Tonpa's drink. They did not fall for his trick, though, for they are able to detect the laxatives in the drinks. They befriend Tonpa, an applicant known to be the 'Rookie Crusher', who offers them drinks containing laxatives. The navigator leads them to a small restaurant's back room, which is actually an elevator that goes a hundred floors underground to the tunnel where applicants wait. Gon, Kurapika and Leorio arrive at Zaban City, the venue of the exam.

Impressed, the creatures reveal themselves to be the navigators and fly them to the exam venue.

They proceed to help a couple and chase the beast, discovering that both couple and beast are actually a family. Upon reaching the cedar tree, they find the navigators being attacked by a shape-shifting creature, the Kiriko. It dawns to Kurapika that it is a trick question and manages to stop Leorio from spoiling the correct response, which led to them being sent to the correct path. She poses a similar riddle which angers Leorio who proceeds to attack the old woman. Upon reaching a small town, an old lady posts a riddle, and a scheming participant who followed the three goes ahead to answer, who later got the permission to pass. Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio reach Dolle Harbor and are given a tip by the Captain to head for the cedar tree on the hilltop behind the city. The captain is impressed and brings them to the port closest to the exam site. Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio help to save Katzo. They then step out on the deck to fight, but are interrupted when Katzo, a crew member, is about to fall out of the ship. Kurapika and Leorio have a dispute among themselves because Kurapika rudely addresses Leorio and Leorio insults Kurapika's clan. He shortlists Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio and asks for their reasons for wanting to become Hunters. The Captain is actually hired by the Hunter Association to shortlist applicants for the exam. Aboard the ship going to the location of the examination, Gon impresses the Captain when he predicts a violent storm approaching. Twelve-year-old Gon Freecss catches Whale Island's monster fish, the ' Master of the Swamp' and gains permission from his reluctant aunt Mito to take the Hunter Exam.
