Lighthouse x 8 Players x Game Master
For the past week, we've gone through many simulations.
Keep in mind that Gensuru has 97 designated pocket cards.
We cannot afford to lose.
We know.
Yeah.
We'll win.
Let's go.
Welcome... as expected, you came back.
Be sure to show me your true strength this time.
I won't let you off so easily this time, brat
Don't be too rough on me, okay?
We don't need to be briefed.
Once preparations are made, let's fight.
All right. First...
Boxing.
Who's up against me?
Me.
All right. Three minutes per round.
Fight continues until either of us gets KO'd.
Fine with that?
Here.
An in-fighter? He's fast!
At close range, emission users lose their edge.
He's forced to focus more on guarding,
so, the chances of him teleporting his fists are low.
The pattern of divine writings in the ring enhances Nen.
That guy probably took hours to draw it with Nen.
In other words, his teleportation ability is limited to the ring.
It's like he's showing us how weak he really is.
He's no match for us.
Down.
Back to the neutral corner.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
The winner is Barry.
That's one win.
All right, I'm next.
The battle will be in bowling.
I've been waiting for this.
Your bowling opponent will be me!
He did it!
That's two wins!
That's it.
All right, that's three wins now.
Those six have excellent fighting skills.
They have exploited the information they gathered well.
This is becoming interesting.
Hey guys, you can lose.
Leave the rest to me.
Roger.
Wait!
I'm not gonna take your orders anymore.
From now on, I'll do as I please!
Hey...
Brat! Let's take this outside!
The burns you made itch like hell.
Outside?
Aren't you mistaking it for a ring?
Playtime's over.
I'll make sure that cocky mouth of yours never speaks again!
That violates your contract with me.
You'll be sent back to the cell, Bobobo.
I don't give a damn!
I'm quitting this stupid game, too!
Who's with me?
If we attack him together, we can defeat him.
Then, all we'd need is a boat or something...
Then we could escape this god-forsaken island.
Severe punishment awaits those who breach the contract.
Didn't you tell him?
W-Well... I'm sure...
He thought that he wouldn't get killed, huh?
What an idiot.
What's with them... fighting amongst themselves?
They're dangerous, dangerous I tell you!
Yeah.
This is too dangerous!
I can't fight them!
No, please wait. We will be the ones fighting.
Didn't I explain earlier?
If the nine of us can't get the eight wins, you can just forfeit without fighting.
Really?
We definitely don't have to fight?
Yeah, don't worry.
Then it'll be...
I hope it's true.
I won't fight!
Yeah, me neither.
Trash... entering this game, clueless of what they were getting into.
They can't finish the game on their own, and come crying to us for help.
Well, it doesn't really matter.
He's the big problem.
He's emitting an exceptional aura.
What he did earlier only confirms it.
He is the Game Master.
All right, I'm up next.
Umm, just a quick question. That guy's dead, so who'll be the sumo winner?
Oh, you can have the win.
But... we haven't decided on our contender.
That's just like him.
Just a moment ago, he declared that he'll do sumo.
I don't mind who you make the winner.
Even if it's someone here just to fill the numbers.
Oh?
Okay then, you'll be it.
You'll be our sumo winner, okay?
Me?
So that makes four wins, right?
We're doing well.
Well, my sport will be... an 8-on-8 dodge ball battle.
These are our players.
Wait a minute... how do we determine the winner?
It's one match per player, right?
Yeah, it is.
That's why the winner gets 8 wins.
Simple, right?
So that's it
It won't matter how many wins we get from those weaklings.
In the end, the fight with Razor will decide the outcome.
Razor and the 14 devils.
The 14 devils are... Razors Nen ability.
No way, I'm not fighting a guy like him!
Me neither!
I don't care if I don't return to the real world.
Hold on.
When the match starts, you can purposely get hit by the ball and...
You're kidding!
If I got hit by a ball like that, I'd die!
Yeah...
Oh, let me make it clear.
We're using regular balls.
Well, if we use Nen on it, it's not that different from the earlier Nen bullet.
I'm leaving.
W-Wait, timeout.
Let's think it through
Let's do it by ourselves.
Since we're risking our lives, lets settle it with those who can handle it.
You don't mind if we only have 6 players, right?
No, I'm afraid that's not allowed.
You have to obediently play with 8, as required.
Aren't you playing alone?
Although telling a game character pretty much useless.
He was your teammate, right?
What did that Bobobo guy do to deserve that?
Theft and murder.
Rape and murder.
And 11 other counts we know of to date.
That man is one of this game's creators.
He's a Game Master.
He's a real, living person.
Bobobo and the rest are probably real convicts sentenced to death.
Given absolute obedience, pro hunters use them sometimes.
Bobobo not only rebelled, but attempted escape.
Severe punishment is to be expected.
If he wasn't punished, his employer would be.
This place is real.
Real?
That's right.
I didn't notice...
I never suspected.
This place is... real?
Then, Ging is...
I see... so he's Ging's son.
I know your father well.
What?
Then, it's true...
I can't do this!
I don't want to die!
I'm leaving!
I'm definitely not participating!
H-Hey!
It's fine, leave them.
But... the match will...
I'll play as 3 people.
You're doing it too, so you won't mind, right?
Nope, it's fine by me.
Now we have 8 against 8.
Let me explain the rules.
The game starts with 1 outfielder and 7 infielders.
The team that loses all its in infielders will lose.
However, one player in the outfield may come in once.
This can be done at any time.
Just say, "Back" to come in.
And now to the important stuff.
We will allow for ball cushioning in hitting judgment.
Ball cushioning?
Yeah. For example, if the ball I throw hits someone.
then hits another player, and touches the ground, then both are out.
Of course, if a teammate catches the ball, both are safe.
However, if the ball I throw bounces off your player
then hits mine and touches the ground...
My player is out.
In the same situation, if your player catches the ball
then our player is out, right?
Exactly.
Umm... uh...
That means, either catch or dodge the ball.
Any other questions?
Ah...
Is a player out when the outfielder hits them?
Of course.
But only one player can come back in by saying, "Back".
Well then, lets get started.
I'm Number 0 and I'll be your judge.
Pleased to meet you.
Once I make a throw in, the game will commence.
Ready... go!
I'll let you go first.
Damn him... acting all confident.
I'll let him eat my throw as a greeting.
Yeah!
Good, that's one.
All right, lets get another!
Okay, that's a second!
Hey... isn't this going too easily?
Good, preparations okay.
Huh? What did you just say?
My preparations to defeat you are complete.
Sounds interesting.
Let's see you try!
He stopped it with just one hand!
Now then, the counterattack begins.
From that distance?
Is he passing it?
It's fast! Dodge... no I can't!
Catch it... I can't do it!
Damn it!
White Gorain!
Nice rebound.
Gorain is in the outfield?
Nenju refers to creatures created from Nen.
I see... you can switch positions with your Nenju, huh?
The Nenju was disintegrated.
Judging by the look on Gorain's face when he took Razor's hit...
he instantly realized their real difference in strength.
This isn't something that he can easily ignore.
It's impossible for him to recover during this game.
He's useless now.
Question!
In this situation, the Nenju is out, right?
Yes. The switch was made using Nen, so no rules were broken.
But, for Gorain to return to the infield, he needs to use, "Back".
Well, if he uses his ability to switch again, that's different.
Damn it! I can't let it end this way.
Okay, lets continue.
A pass.
They're lightning quick.
They're too fast!
I can't catch the ball's movements!
Tsezugera!
Behind you!
Heavy... just like a bowling ball.
After hitting Tsezugera and rolling on to the floor, it still has this much force.
This isn't good.
You shouldn't force yourself.
You reacted to the "Behind you" warning and focused your aura to your back.
That prevented some fatal damage.
Yet your broken bones may damage your internal organs.
Hey, can someone treat him?
I'm fine, stay away. Don't touch me!
Damn it. I've become weak.
Being cautious, only fighting matches I was sure to win...
This is the result.
Comparatively, my inherent strength far exceeds theirs.
However, in agility, reflexes, and basic ability, they're much better.
Seems like I've long forgotten about that drive.
I'll have to retrain myself from scratch, huh?
Come to think of it, I haven't done any basic training for years.
The best way to get them out is to prevent them from getting the ball, but...
Hisoka...
Okay. Pass me the ball please.
Oh, yeah!
With Bungee Gum
he can get the ball back after hitting the opponent.
All we need to do is decide who to take out first.
Now, please entertain me.
I hope this doesn't end things.
Sure.
Question.
After the last infielder gets hit by the ball, can he use "Back"?
No, when the last player is hit by the ball...
In that instant, there will be no more infielders so you will lose.
However, at the time when the last infielder is hit
an outfielder can simultaneously use "Back" to return to the infield.
Okay, so the last infielder can't return using that.
Hisoka...
Yeah, I know.
He has to be the last one, right?
His throws are pretty good.
The rest won't be able to catch them.
Here I go!
If things go well, we can take both 6 and 7 out when it deflects.
Oh dear...
13...
T-They combined!
He's pretty strong.
Is that legal?!
It is.
It Is?
Now, we have to get the ball back again.
Yeah, in order to stop that ball..
Yeah.
Oh?
Very smooth... their technique is flawless!
They've trained hard.
But, if Razor throws at full strength...
Even if they blocked with Ken, they won't be safe.
Reclaim the ball despite getting damaged.
Defeat the enemy through great risk.
But will it work out as planned?
So you can use Ken, huh?
Then you probably won't die...
Unless it hits you at the wrong place.
Here I go, Gon.
Bring it on!
No, run! You'll die!
Kou!
