Chapter 129: Travel x New Status - A New Journey

Alex leaves the room along with the other freshly certified hunters.

He says a relatively short "goodbye" to Palm and Melody, who he barely even spoke to or interacted with, and walks away from the room, deciding to talk with Shalnark, with whom he formed a rather strange but overall friendly relationship.

"So, what are your plans now, Alex?" The Phantom Troupe member asks, seemingly curious about Alex's plans.

"I'll travel to Heaven's Arena. I heard it's a great place to get some fighting experience. I also heard rumours that there's a secret about the special skills of candidates fighting above floor 200. I guess those guys are Nen users as well? I'm ready to challenge them! How about you?" Alex responds, seeing no reason to hide his intentions.

"Interesting. I'll return to my comrades. There are certain activities planned in the near future. To tell you the truth, I'm a rather unique thief by trade. Your abilities are really intriguing. I felt them through the walls during the 4th exam. You killed all the other examinees, right? You are far stronger and far more decisive than I initially gave you credit for." Shalnark says and goes on: "There is currently an open spot in our group. Although a certain individual, let's call him 'Jester', is interested in joining, I feel you would be a better fit. He's a frightening man, but I'm not sure he can be trusted. Regardless, the sad reality is that some of us die, and sooner or later, there will be a spot open. I have the right to recommend talented people like yourself to the boss."

He finally concludes his offer by saying: "Use the time to train yourself, and if you feel like you are ready to join us, contact me. If you really want to achieve something groundbreaking and change the world, this would be a great opportunity. You won't regret it, the boss will open your eyes to a brand-new world and give your life true meaning."

You received Shalnark's Card

[Shalnark's Card]
Quality: Deep Blue
Type: World Item / Quest Item
Effect: Allows the player to enter the World of Hunter x Hunter shortly before the beginning of the Yorknew City Arc and take on a certain heist together with the Phantom Troupe.

Note: This item cannot be traded or sold. It will disappear after the effect activates.
Note: This item is a continuation item, and you will return to this particular world with memories of your person intact! A random number of players will be selected to join you on this mission.

"I'll hope I hear from you once you are ready. Goodbye, my friend," Shalnark says, waving goodbye to Alex.

Hmmm, this is another quest item... similar to Bushidora's Card, but higher in quality. It's good to have options, I guess, Alex reasons.

Alex, now a freshly certified Hunter, returns to his room. Inside, he finds Menchi and Linne slowly packing up their things.

"Congratulations," they both say at the same time.

"Thank you so much. I am genuinely grateful for everything you have done for me. I see you are already packing. Is this goodbye?" he asks them.

Menchi bonks Alex's head with her fist and says, "You! You have barely learned anything about Nen. I'm planning on teaching you some more! At least a few months longer, I guess. You also owe me some information...."

Linne, however, responds in a different way. "I had initially planned to return home and dwell in memories. However, I've changed my mind. I'm in the mood to meet some friends and accomplish some unfulfilled goals. You have brightened my outlook, Alex. I'm grateful for that. I'm sure we'll see each other again sometime in the near future. Though you are Menchi's student, I'll see you as my own. If you ever need help, feel free to contact me."
