Summary
Tonpa sincerely apologizes to Gon and his friends about the drink. Tonpa thinks this year's rookies are better than last year's. He remembers talking to Hanzo, who revealed himself to be a ninja. He offered Hanzo one of his laxative juices but he refuses. Next, he talks to Nicolas who also declines his offer. Tonpa notices number 301, Gittarackur. He thinks it is impossible to talk with this guy. Finally, the only who drank his juice is Killua, who asks for five more cans. Tonpa seems worried, Killua should be dehydrated by now. But Killua assured him that a simple poison won't kill him.

A man with no visible mouth came in the room, ringing a bell. He announced that the exam will begin and the candidates will just have to follow him. At first, his pace is normal but as the time goes by, it becomes faster. While they all started running, Killua uses his skateboard. Leorio accuses him of cheating, but Gon says otherwise. Killua asked for Gon's age, to which he replies. He finally decides to run and quickly makes friends with Gon.

After 4 or 5 hours, the marathon is still on. Many candidates have given up and Leorio starts to get tired. Gon cheers him up and Leorio starts to run really fast.
