Chapter 25: Materialization vs. Transformation

The candidates who were thrown around screamed, but Hisoka turned a deaf ear to them.

"However, I have a rough idea of ​​the power of the weapon you materialized. A gun is a firearm, and a knife is a sharp weapon. They both have the same weakness, which is distance."

Hisoka threw the candidates, stones, and mud stuck by "Stretchable Love" back and forth and left and right towards German.

German's "energetic physique" and "endurance" are very different from more than a month ago. Not only has his body's agility and strength been transformed, but his ability to fight continuously has also been enhanced.

He kept jumping backwards, and Hisoka's "Meteor Hammers" missed the target one after another and fell to the ground.

"If distance is the weakness of my musket and meat saw..." Germain suddenly stopped and said, "It's the same for you."

One of the candidates that Hisoka was clinging to, the "elastic love" between them suddenly broke, and the candidate was thrown directly towards Germain.

German dodged sideways, estimated the distance again, and deduced: "About 10 meters. Beyond this distance, your 'Stretchable Love' will not be able to maintain its stickiness."

"Bingo." Hisoka snapped his fingers crisply, not at all embarrassed by being exposed. "But this is troublesome. We can't fight at this distance."

"I have to get a hunter's license," German announced. "Not next year, not the year after, but this year."

Hisoka smiled slyly, as if he had succeeded in a prank. "Then I will have to do everything I can to stop you. You have to pass the exam with me before you can enter the next one."

After a moment's silence, the two of them unexpectedly ran towards each other at the same time, actively shortening the distance between them.

"As expected, we are 'partners'!" Hisoka shot "Stretchable Love" at German, and his gesture was like Spider-Man.

German dodged sideways, and the meat saw deformed with a click, its length suddenly doubled, and the sharp teeth slashed towards Hisoka.

Hisoka was equally agile, raising his head to dodge, and the blade of the meat saw almost touched his nose: "When I saw the shape of this weapon, I thought of this possibility."

"Really?" Germain took advantage of this opportunity, covered the musket with his hunter's robe, aimed the gun at Hisoka, and fired.

The scattered bullets shattered his robe and shot towards Hisoka who was close at hand.

Hisoka narrowed his eyes, and moved several fingers that had been prepared. Several "stretchable love" that were stuck to the ground exerted force together and overturned a whole piece of soil.

"I saw it." Hisoka said with a smile behind the earth wall.

Puff, puff, puff, all the scattered bullets hit the ground.

Germann dodged to the side and met Hisoka who was also dodging to the side.

The two looked at each other, and instead of moving away from each other, they took a step closer to each other.

"I have a rough idea of ​​the firing distance and range of the musket," Hisoka said with a smile, "and I have also mastered the position that the meat saw can reach after it transforms."

When Germain heard this, he looked down and found that three "Stretchable Love" were stuck to his meat saw.

"It got stuck when I chopped it down just now." Hisoka explained kindly, moving towards the meat saw while calculating the range that the musket could reach.

However, Germain directly dematerialized and easily untangled the entanglement of "elastic love".

"It's really frustrating..." Seeing this scene, Hisoka did not give up getting close to him, but rushed towards Germann even faster, "That's why I don't like the materialization system." He took out a stack of playing cards with his fingertips and infused them with "thoughts". They immediately became as sharp as knives and shot towards Germann, who had no room to dodge.

Since the Enhancement Type is a close neighbor of the Transformation Type, Hisoka can occasionally use Enhancement Type abilities.

However, German quickly raised his right hand, and held the transformed meat saw in his palm again, blocking most of the playing cards with a clang.

However, two playing cards were still stuck in German's left arm, and there was no doubt that "Stretchable Love" was stuck on the playing cards.

Hisoka gave him a maniacal smile.

“Ahhh, you can’t raise your left hand freely for the time being, so the musket can’t shoot at me… I can’t wait to see your expression next… eh?”

The meat saw in Germann's right hand disappeared right under Hisoka's eyes and was replaced by a strange can of metal with a nozzle attached, which was aimed at Hisoka.

With a whoosh, the flamethrower shot out a large flame forward, engulfing Hisoka in the blink of an eye.

In the raging flames, Hisoka quickly distanced himself from the enemy and rolled on the ground without hesitation.

After he rolled around a few times in a panic, he finally put out the fire on his body in time.

However, when he stood up, all his clothes had been burned to ashes, and he could only stand there naked.

Not only that, there were many signs of burns on her body. A large patch of her fiery red hair was burnt, and a lot of the powder on her face was rubbed off.

Hisoka stared at the flamethrower in Germain's right hand for a while, then said calmly: "I see, the materialized weapons are not limited to being held by the left or right hand, and there are more than two weapons. I was accidentally tricked..."

German put away the flamethrower, reached out and pulled out two playing cards, threw them far away, and let his arm bleed and drip onto the grass.

"Rather than the materialization system, you should be more like Captain Kuroro's characteristic system." Hisoka speculated, "After all, it is a neighboring system. I should have thought that it could produce such an effect."

"If I guess correctly, guns, knives, and flamethrowers are not the truth of your materialization system. What you truly materialize is hidden in your body, and then you complete all operations through it."

Although Hisoka spoke seriously, it was difficult for him to make the scene serious as he was naked.

"Maybe." German blinked his dark eyes and gave an ambiguous answer.

Hisoka was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You're not willing to tell me if I guessed it right even after this? Well, you've passed. I won't bother you with the next exam."

"Hmm?" German tilted his head and said, "You can't possibly continue to pester me, right? First of all, you attacked the examiner and will most likely be expelled. Second, are you going to continue to fight me with nothing on?"

Hisoka was stunned for a moment. Given his personality, he couldn't think of any way to refute Germain's words for a moment.

Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the woods.

Germain and Hisoka looked over there warily at the same time, both of them were a little surprised that someone could be so close to them without them noticing.

An old man and the bean-faced man who had distributed number tags to them came out.
