Summary
Gittarackur turns out to be Killua's older brother, Illumi Zoldyck. By only seeing him, it made Killua tensed. Illumi eagerly talked about Killua's attack on his mother and brother. He also mentions that their mother is proud yet confused as to why Killua ran away. She feared that Killua would like to become a Hunter so she sent Illumi over. Killua tells his brother that he never wanted to become a Hunter, which makes Illumi assured.

Illumi then starts to psychologically manipulate his younger brother by making him think that he is only a killer. He continues to tell Killua that he has neither passion nor desire. Killua replies that he wants something -- which is to become friends with Gon. He doesn't want to kill anymore and to have fun like a normal kid. Illumi thinks it's impossible, only saying that Gon amazes Killua that is why he is interested in him. Leorio suddenly butts in their conversation, stating that Killua and Gon are already friends and what Killua should do is to defeat Illumi. He is bothered by the fact that they are already friends, so he decides to kill Gon. As Illumi tries to leave the room, Killua freezes on the spot, clearly intimidated by his brother. The other examinees stand by the door so Illumi will bot be able to kill Gon. Illumi then decides to defeat Killua first and then kill Gon.

Illumi approaches Killua and tries to hold his head. The latter tensed more and tries to escape but Illumi threathens him that if he moves and inch, their match will begin. But if Killua doesn't fight him, Gon will surely die. Killua admits defeat, to everyone's surprise. Illumi smiles at him and pats his shoulder. He claims that he never wanted to kill Gon. He instructs Killua that he should continue on following his orders. After that, Killua had never did anything. Leorio is matched up against Bodoro, but he is instantly killed by Killua.

Gon rushes to the meeting and tries to confront Illumi Zoldyck.
