08 | BAFFLING TURN × OF × EVENTS
THE FOURTH PHASE HAS ENDED AND ALL NINE PASSING EXAMINEES will proceed to the Final Phase. The last exam will involve a one on one tournament with each of the participants. The chairman, Netero, revealed a bracket that contained the faces and numbers of the examinees with their respective opponents. He explained in details that some applicants have a much higher chance of passing the exam compared to the others based on their previous performance.
[Question: Who would you go up against?]
"Why didn't you use a balanced bracket?" asked a muscular elder man with gray long hair tied up in a ponytail.
"A question that must be on everybody's mind," Netero pointed out. "This bracket was assembled based on your performance throughout the exam. Those who performed better gets more chances."
Killua widened his eyes. "That doesn't sound right," piped the boy, slowly processing the questionable explanation given by the chairman. "Can you explain how you scored our performance?"
The room entered a brief silence without a single word leaving the elder's mouth. The chairman closed his eyes and curved his mouth into a smile. Then, without further warning, he shook his head frantically, belting out the word 'no' which startled the young boy.
