Keep on living just the way you are
This Trick Tower is going to be the test site for Phase Three!
The task is very simple:
reach the bottom of this tower alive.
The time limit is 72 hours!
Okay, start!
Three days...
Three days just for a tower.
I wonder if it means the obstacles are that hard...
I'm sure it's more difficult than Phase Two.
We must not let our guard down.
The Exam begins.
What are we going to do?
There are no windows on the sides.
Yeah, only the wall.
Climbing down here would be suicide.
Yes, if you're an ordinary man.
But if you're a skilled rock climber,
it's not difficult to climb down with this much footholds.
Wow! Great!
He's gone down that far already.
Just watching him makes my butt feel weird.
Look!
I guess I'll be the first one to pass Phase Three.
I guess we shouldn't clmb down the outer wall.
There should be a door that leads down to the lower level.
I guess everyone has the same idea.
If we don't want to fall behind the others,
we'd better spread out to find the door.
Yeah...
There are fewer people now.
What?!
5, 10, 15... 20.
Twenty-three people! When did they...
Close to half of us must have found the door and gone down...
It's hard to imagine that all of them took the same door...
It's reasonable to assume that many hidden doors exist here.
Leorio, Kurapika!
Did you find it?
Good job, Gon!
Chief, I see there are two kids...
Yeah.
You think they got lucky?
The Hunter Exam isn't that easy.
All right. I'll open it.
Here!
Wh What the?!
It seems like it has a self lock function.
Then, this door is already...
We have to find other doors.
Damn! One door per person,
and it's only good once.
Also, we should assume that each door leads to a different route.
This isn't the time to calmly analyze the situation!
We don't even know if there are enough doors for all of us!
There are.
There are? You mean doors?
Yup. I found six doors. More than enough for us.
Bingo. Everyone, get in posititon.
Right.
For every hour they stall applicants,
one year will be deducted from their prison terms.
They couldn't have asked for a better opportunity.
They should be grateful to me for this.
Here, here...
and three more over here.
Five doors located so close to each other...
There's something fishy about it...
Some of them might be traps.
So luck is part of your skill, huh?
Don't hold it against anyone even if you fall into a trap.
That's right.
Then, let's decide the order of picking a door.
Paper, rock, scissor...
Let's all jump in on the count of three.
We'll be apart from each other from here.
See you on the ground.
Yeah.
Okay. Let's go.
One, two, three!
That was a brief separation.
Indeed...
There's no exit in this room, either.
More hidden doors?
There's something.
"The Path of the Majority Rules."
"The five of you must find your way to the goal...
by using 'Majority Rules.'"
"Majority Rules?"
These are...
...timers.
It has buttons with a circle and an X.
Does that mean, unless we get another person...
...down here, we can't get out of this room?
That's correct.
There are many routes in this tower.
Each route has different requirements.
You guys got "The Path of the Majority Rules."
It's a tough course in which you must cooperate with each other.
I wish you all good luck.
The remaining time is 71 hours and 18 minutes...
We just have to wait.
It's been two hours.
Maybe everyone has taken a different route down already.
The ones still remaining on top must reallly be stupid.
It seems that stupid one has arrived.
Y-You!
Mr. Tonpa.
Looks like everyone is here.
I don't want to do this "Majority Rules" thing with you!
This will do.
All right! Let's go.
Don't "all right" us when you got here last.
Acting like you're in charge...
This is your first choice.
Press the button with the circle if you want to open that door,
or the button with the X if you don't want to.
"Majority Rules" already?
The choice is obvious.
Open this door?
Yes
No
Huh?
Who the hell chose the X?
Ah, sorry. I'm sorry. I pressed it by mistake.
Hey, don't kid around!
How can you mistake a circle from an X?
That's why I said sorry.
I'm asking how you could've made such a mistake!
Forget about it. Let's go. The door opened anyway.
No. It's not okay.
He pressed the X button on purpose!
We've wasted two hours already.
I don't want to waste any more time quarreling.
That's right.
Even if he keeps objecting all the way,
we'll be fine as long as the rest of us are cooperating, right?
And if he still gets in our way, then...
Well, all right. Let's get going.
But if you do it again, I'll punch you!
Again?
Which way?
Right
Left
If you want to go right, press the circle.
To the left, press the X.
Okay, okay.
To the right?
Usually in cases like this, people choose left, don't they?
Actually, I don't feel comfortable unless I choose left in a situation like this.
It's true that according to behavioral studies,
when people are lost or when selecting an unknown route,
more often than not, they tend to go left.
I've heard of that, too.
Hey, wait a minute! The numbers don't add up.
Which one did you guys press?
Right.
Right...
Look, guys.
People are likely to choose left, that's why we chose right.
A proctor should know that,
and would make a more difficult trap on the left path.
Exactly what he said.
We're simple minded all right. Right, Gon?
So I am at the same level as Leorio...
Wh-What the hell is this?!
Look.
Chief Lippo, the applicants are here.
Take these things off.
We've been hired to test you applicants!
You must fight the five of us here.
That man looks tough...
That's why I wanted to go to left.
The left path might have been more difficult.
The fight is one-on-one! You can fight only once!
You can pick your turns.
You can pass by winning the majority of matches,
meaning three or more wins.
You can fight anyway you want.
There will be no draws!
When one side admits defeat, the other side is deemed the winner!
Decide if you will take on this challenge or not by voting.
If yes, press the circle. If no, press the X.
Here goes the voting again!
What a waste of time!
In order for us to pass the test, we must fight.
Of course, everyone will press the circle.
Unless someone tries to mess it up.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
How about it? We all agree!
All right. The first one from our side will be me!
Who will be fighting from your side?
What should we do? Who goes first?
The set up is complete.
The remaining time is 69 hours...
They've already reduced three years from their prison terms...
Well, let's just watch.
I will go.
No, I should go.
What?!
He seems like the type to fight with brute strength.
If you fight him straight on, you'll be at a disadvantage, Gon.
Hey, wait a minute.
If Gon is at a disadvantage, than you can't do it either...
But I have my weapon.
Your weapon? If he takes it, you'll go down!
Then are you going, Leorio?
Geez, look at those muscles!
If you're scared, I'll go.
Killua!
Then it's decided.
Wait!
I'll go.
You've got to be joking!
A petty scoundrel like you is no match against him.
I don't think so.
What?!
There is no restriction on the means of fighting.
In other words, anything goes.
You just don't know what they'll do.
You can't assume that he'll stick to his physical strength
just because he looks tough.
In short, the most important element right now is not physical strength,
but experience and your hunch which enables you to respond to any situation.
I volunteer myself to be test subject to see how our enemy fights.
Let me have this chance to atone for all the things I've done.
Please!
How do you expect us to trust you after everything?!
That's exactly why I'm offering myself to be the first one to fight.
I know all of you don't fully trust me, right?
Not at all!
Well, listen!
Up ahead, we may face a situation in which the score is tied.
If you don't trust me, can you risk letting me fight the tiebreaker?
Why don't you let him do it?
I see his point.
Th-Then it's decided.
You offered yourself to be the first one to fight,
so you better not lose!
Just watch.
I'm going first.
Okay.
Well, let's decide the way of the match.
I suggest a death match.
That's the worst that can happen. What are we going to do, Kurapika?!
This is not good. We thought it out too much.
But Mr. Tonpa looked very confident. I bet he has a great plan.
You can find it out by watching.
We keep fighting until one admits defeat or one is killed...
How about it?
Look, he isn't responding.
That's more convenient for prisoners, isn't it?
Indeed. All of them have over 100 years of prison terms.
Yes. They are all felons.
Their prison terms won't get shorter unless they do something like this.
Bendot was convicted for robbery and murder
and is sentenced to 199 years in prison.
He must be very thrilled.
He can offically kill and reduce his prison term.
What's the matter?
Are we doing a death match or not?
If you take time here, you'll just waste your teammates' time, too.
But our prison terms will get shorter...
I'm grateful for that.
All right, I accept your challenge.
Tonpa...
Mr. Tonpa.
I commend you on your decision...
Now...
Let's fight!
Run, Mr. Tonpa!
I surrender!
Did he just say "I surrender?"
You have to be kidding...
Maybe he said "time out."
Wh-What... did you say?
I surrender.
I surrender. I'm defeated.
That's a totally unexpected way of attacking.
What a laugh!
We can just assume how the rest is going to be
if the first one is like that.
Oh well, I'm sorry.
Damn you! What was that?!
Now I'm convinced!
You're a helpless jerk who only gets in others' way.
If we win two more fights, you'll lose.
You can't go ahead or go back.
You'll have to spend the rest of your time here until the time limit.
In order for us to win, we must win three out of four fights.
You got us, old man.
Yeah, I'm a coward.
That's how I've always been. And that's how I'll always remain.
What did you say?
That's how I have survived!
Look, listen to me carefully.
Unlike you guys, I have no intention... of becoming a Hunter.
What I want from the Hunter Exam is not to pass...
but to get some excitement...
I stay close to the veterans and watch what they do
to hone my ability to sense danger. That way I can ensure my safety.
With my own life safe and secure,
I get to watch the ultimate show of death...
A scene of hell where the dreams of young people are devoured.
The expression on the face
the moment one's ambition or hope is dashed eternally.
Gradually, watching such moments became very amusing for me.
And I began playing active roles in dashing the dreams of newbies.
I found this far more exciting in life than becoming a Hunter.
As for this year's Exam, it's about time for me to withdraw.
From Phase Three, the number of applicants decreases
and the risk becomes greater.
I'm not gonna push myself anymore.
In other words, I'm at the point where I don't care if I fail.
However, this is "The Path of the Majority Rules."
If the four of you work hard, you can keep on going with 4 to 1 odds.
It's not so bad after all, is it?
That's awful.
Damn you! Don't forget this!
I'm going to take you down to the bottom of this tower.
And I will beat the hell out of you.
Man, you're just like a computer bug.
And I hate games that have bugs.
H-Hey look. If you do that, you'll be disqualified immediately...!
I don't care.
I've got it!
That's right. Mr. Tonpa is right.
We can keep on going if we maintain 4 against 1 odds.
We can, without having to fight among ourselves.
Right, Kurapika? Isn't that right?
Yes, but...
You're more simple minded than I am.
Thank Gon, old man.
It looks like they're ready.
Sedokan, you're next.
Chief, the lock.
They're sending their second person.
What do we do?
Me! I'll go!
Are you really sure?
I'm all right. Leave it to me.
We can win! Don't worry!
Now, the second match. Let's begin!
I'm up next.
He looks pretty weak so don't worry.
Next on Hunter x Hunter:
Candles x Policy x Dispute!
The wind blows in the candle match!
Did you hear it?
