Keep on living just the way you are
It's the Milsy Wetlands.
Also known as the "Swindler's Swamp."
We must go through here in order to reach site of Phase Two.
The strange creatures here will resort to every trick...
to deceive people and turn them into fodder.
That's why it is called the "Swindler's Swamp."
You must follow me very carefully.
If you get tricked, you die.
That's a funny thing to say.
We won't fall for their tricks if we know they're out to trick us.
It's a lie! He's a fraud!
He isn't the proctor! I am the real proctor!
A fraud? What does that mean?!
Then who the hell is standing there?
A fraud?!
Which is the real proctor?
This is bad. Everyone is agitated...
Did that harsh underground marathon make them all restless?
Hey, mister!
Do you have proof?
Proof that the guy over there is a fraud!
Take a look at this!
Wh-What is that?!
Is that a Magical Beast...?
Hey... the face...
It looks just like the proctor.
Yes. That's the Man-Faced Ape that lives in the Milsy Wetlands.
It disguises itself as a human and tricks people into traps...
He's a Man-Faced Ape too!
It'll kill all you applicants to devour!
What?!
Now that you mention it, he does look like it...
No wonder! His running ability in the underground wasn't human...
A mob mentality...
After going through the first hardship together
they've formed a bond.
If I lose myself in that bond, I won't be able to make a fair judgment!
Is this part of the Hunter Exam, after all?
Huh?
A test?
Great going, Gon. Your comment changed the mood.
Gon, can't you tell? Using that wild hunch of yours...
Nope. Not at all!
Not at all? You...
There's no smell.
If he is impersonating, he is doing extremely well.
Is that so...
There is a way to find out.
If he is a genuine proctor, he should have a Hunter License.
A license?
Only a Hunter is capable of judging the aptitude of a Hunter.
Then does it mean...
Is he a Hunter? Wow!
He stole my Hunter License!
He took me by surprise and stole everything!
I see.
Then having the license doesn't prove anything.
I see. I see...
What are you doing?
This way is quicker, isn't it?
I guess this confirms that you're the real one, huh, Mr. Proctor?
The Hunter we're all aspiring to become
must be capable of dodging a mild attack like that...
I will take that as a compliment.
But from next time,
any violence directed at the proctor under any circumstances
will be deemed as a rebellious act and you will be disqualified immediately.
Do I make myself clear?
I know. I know.
It stinks...
Huh?
A Hunter would never be deceived by the likes of a Man-Faced Ape.
I knew he was a fraud when he said his Hunter License was stolen...
I didn't notice!
Still, that man named Hisoka attacked even the proctor...
Hey, how long are you going to stare at it?
Yeah...
You do not need to feel sad about it.
Risky entrapments like this is an ordinary part of life for them.
The survival of the fittest...
That is the rule of this marsh.
Anyway, shall we leave for the site of Phase Two?
Here we go with the marathon again!
Damn! Watch it!
This swamp mud drains our energy.
It's getting foggy.
Gon, let's move further to the front.
Yup. We'll be in trouble if we lose the proctor.
That isn't my concern. We should get away from Hisoka.
What?
He's itching for a kill.
He'll take advantage of the fog to kill quite a few.
You seem to want to ask me, "Why do you know all that?"
It's the smell.
The smell?
Yeah. He and I are alike.
It doesn't seem that way though.
That's because I've been acting all along like that monkey
and I'm in the perfect disguise. You'll find out eventually.
Kurapika! Leorio! Killua said we'd better move to the front!
Stupid! I would've gone a long time ago if I could!
But you have to do it somehow.
Well, I can't!
No sense of suspense.
The fog has gotten so dense...
Damn! As it is, I could lose sight of the person right in front of me!
Certainly, it's dangerous to get lost...
But it's more dangerous to run alongside that man...
Should I run faster?
I guess I can't leave him behind...
H-How annoying!
Don't touch it! This moth is!
What the hell is that?!
H-Hey, look!
We're saved. Help has arrived!
Hey, wait!
What was that sound?!
Someone must have gotten tricked.
Hey, look. No one's coming behind us.
Is this real? There were at least a hundred behind us!
Help!
I guess those of us at the rear have become totally separated.
How can you say that as if it's none of our business!
My goodness!
Kurapika, Leorio...
Gon!
You are not in any position to worry about others...
Look at this fog. If we lose him, we're out.
Yeah...
Just pray that you don't hear your friends scream.
Aw, ouch!
Damn you! Why did you do that?!
I'm pretending to be the proctor.
I thought I should remain quiet until Phase Two,
but I got too bored...
I thought I'd help out the Exam Committee.
I will judge if you are eligible to be a Hunter or not.
Judge?! You stupid bastard. Look at this fog.
Once you are separated from the others,
it will be impossible to find the proctor who is running at the front!
In other words, you've also failed... just like us!
How rude of you. Don't put me with you.
I'll tell you one thing as a farewell gift for your journey to hell.
Nothing is impossible for a magician.
Don't make me laugh!
You have no right to become a Hunter!
I'll teach you a lesson, so you'll never be fit to take the Exam again!
Let me see.
I say one card... will take care all of you together.
Don't be so sure!
Ladies and gentlemen!
Hisoka the great magician of the century shall begin his miracle magic show.
Please enjoy it!
Run!
Damn! My weapons are in my bag!
Leorio?!
Gon!
Damn, what a stupid kid! He's gone back to save the others.
Yeah, he's a stupid kid...
They all fail.
Only the three of you remain.
Damn you!
Shall I start... with you?
When I give you a cue, disperse in different directions.
What?
He's strong.
Every killer has a moment of hesitation when he is about to kill a person.
But he has none of that!
Certainly, we have no chance of winning against him
even if we attack simuItaneously...
How would you know without trying?
I suppose you, too, have a strong motivation to become a Hunter.
I know you're not gonna like it, but this time you'd better run.
I see... It's a good decision.
As your reward, I will wait for ten seconds.
One, two, three...
four, five, six...
seven, eight, nine... ten.
Let me see... Who shall I play with?
Oh my...
I can't do it, after all.
Did you give up?
Nope. It's the opposite.
I am big enough of a man to keep on taking the beating
without doing anything about it!
Leorio?!
Idiot!
Damn!
What a nice face. That expression of anger and fighting spirit...
clouded over with a momentary fear of death.
It gives me a rush.
However... it's over for you now.
Good-bye.
You are quite good, kid.
A fishing rod. It's an interesting weapon...
Will you let me see it?
May I?
Now...
I'm your opponent!
Did you come back to rescue your friend?
You are a good kid.
Yup, you pass.
Oh dear, did you come back?
How wonderful. After all, it's nice to have friends, isn't it?
Yup... I see. I'll be right there.
Leorio!
Don't worry. I didn't kill him.
Because he also passed the test...
What does that mean?!
Hmm?
Give Leorio back!
If you want him back, catch up with me.
Gon! Are you all right?
This way!
Can you tell that clearly?
Yup. The cologne Leorio uses is very distinctive.
You're like a dog...
Besides...
Animals lie dead on the ground as if to guide us.
I suppose they were killed by Hisoka after they attacked.
But it doesn't necessarily mean Hisoka is heading towards a goal.
He is a devil.
He may have let us free in order to kill us later.
As if to enjoy the hunt.
Still, I can't leave Leorio!
Sorry!
Hisoka was saying that Leorio and I had passed the test.
Do you know what that means?
He said he was "pretending to be a proctor."
In other words, he was judging us.
Judging? But Hisoka only stared at me.
You gave him a blow before that, didn't you?
Yup. I did.
But Leorio was knocked out. Still, he said he passed the test!
Hisoka's movements are beyond human... He is a genius.
Especially in fighting, he far exceeds our skills.
Yeah.
The experienced fighter can ascertain the ability of another
the moment he has physical contact.
Experience, skill, and all other things...
Hisoka could have sensed such things
and perceived the same scent as his in you and Leorio.
The same scent...
Yes. One who has the same scent.
He may have thought "it's a pity to kill right now."
I'm sorry. I've said something insensitive.
No. Killua said the same thing.
He said he could distinguish people with similar scents.
Gon, you are not like Hisoka.
At least I don't think that man is fit to be a Hunter!
I wonder...
Gon?
When Hisoka came close to me,
I was so scared that I wanted to run away, but couldn't even turn my back on him.
And at that moment, I thought, "This is it for me."
I was at the point where I could be killed at any moment...
And yet, I know it's strange...
but I was a little bit excited.
Gon!
It's about time...
So, they didn't make it.
It's ironic. He went in for a mummy and became one himself.
He went out to rescue his friend and missed the chance to pass.
Gon!
It's over!
Well done, everyone.
Here, the Visca Forest Reserve, will be the site for Phase Two!
I guess somehow we made it in time.
Where are Leorio and Hisoka?
Leorio!
What happened?
Umm... except the wound in his arm, he seems all right.
Ouch! Hey, check my face!
You look the same as usual.
What looks the same?!
Damn. What is going on?!
Don't you remember?
Don't be rude to me!
I do remember stepping into the marsh, and...
I guess we'd better not tell him.
Yeah...
Anyway, let me officially congratulate you.
All of you who are present have passed Phase One.
I wish you all luck on Phase Two.
I'm so glad!
You did it.
Killua!
What kind of magic did you use? I thought you would never make it.
What? You followed Leorio's scent?
Yeah.
You really are very different.
Frankly speaking, you're a dog, aren't you?
You think?
148 persons have passed Phase One.
That is a greater catch than I expected.
Considering that, it makes me regret so much more...
that Phase Two is by Menchi and Buhara.
The number could be reduced to 50.
Depending on the subject, we could end up with less than ten.
Perhaps I'll stay awhile and see how it goes.
It's about time.
I'm getting nervous.
Yeah. We don't know what to expect.
There's no telling when we may be attacked...
Yes! Phase Two is all about cooking!
Actually, I have a special dish that I'm good at making.
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Menchi x Furious x Second Phase?
It'll be yummy!
