Chapter 32

And the Final Test...? is Chapter 32 of the Hunter x Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Summary
The fourth round has ended and the participants have one hour to get back to the starting point. Any tags exchanged at this point will result in disqualification. The Chairman Netero is surprised that out of the 9 remaining contestants, 6 are newbies. He says that he plans to speak to them one by one to see what happens in the last round.

Inside the airship, Kurapika approaches Gon to thank him for last round. He notices that Gon has been acting a little weird since they met and asks what happened.Gon says that his target was Hisoka and explains how he managed to steal his tag but lost it, only to have it returned by Hisoka. Gon is very upset and angry because he felt really helpless against Hisoka and couldn't return the punch. He felt really lonely so he decided to find Kurapika and Leorio to help them out.

Hisoka is called to the interview room. Netero asks him why he wants to become a hunter. Hisoka says that being a hunter alleviates most of the responsibility of killing someone. Then Netero asks which candidate he is most interested in. Hisoka says Killua; although Gon is not bad, but he can't reach the level of Killua for now. And who he wants to fight the most, it would be Gon. Hisoka adds that the one he really wants to fight the most, is Netero himself.

Netero asks the same questions to the remaining candidates. Pokkle says Kurapika interests him, and he doesn't want to fight Hisoka. Killua is most interested in Gon, and doesn't want to fight Pokkle because it would be boring. Bodoro is interested in Hisoka, and doesn't want to fight Gon or Killua because they are kids. Gittarackur is interested in Killua, and doesn't want to fight Hisoka. Gon says he is most interested in Hisoka, and doesn't want to fight any of Killua, Kurapika, or Leorio. Hanzo says he is interested in Hisoka and also doesn't want to fight him. Kurapika is positively interested in Gon and negatively interested in Hisoka. With a good enough reason, he's willing to fight anyone. Leorio is interested in Gon, and also doesn't want to fight him. Finally, Netero says that the preprations for the last round is completely. They arrive at their destination.
