A Volatile Situation (
Synopsis[]
After spotting Kurapika and Leorio in the forest below him, a chuckling Hisoka decides to make them his next targets and quickly leaps down toward them. Still hiding in the bushes nearby, Gon desperately wonders what he should do and decides to steal Hisoka's badge the moment he attacks. However, he quickly changes his mind and tells himself that helping his friends is more important than points. Both Kurapika and Leorio are shocked to see Hisoka, who tells them that he needs two more badges to pass and asks for theirs.
Kurapika and Leorio prepared to keep their badges from Hisoka
As Leorio angrily asks Hisoka if he thinks that they will simply hand over their badges, Kurapika interrupts him and focuses on Hisoka's mention of two more badges, deducing that neither of them is his specified target. Hisoka replies that it isn't the issue and again asks if they will hand over their badges. With Gon nervously watching from the bushes nearby, Kurapika reveals that they have four badges in total: his own, that of his target, one worth one point, and Leorio's. He adds that only his badge and the one-pointer could be Hisoka's specified target, explaining that Leorio (#403) was Tonpa's target and that Tonpa (#16) was his own. Although he understands Kurapika's explanation, Hisoka wonders what his point is. Kurapika clarifies that while they have no issue handing over the one-pointer, they will not surrender the other three, with Kurapika quickly drawing his bokken and Leorio opening his switchblade.
Hisoka remains silent at first and then puts his hand in front of his face as he begins to chuckle. He asks for Kurapika's badge number, and Kurapika tells him that it's #404. Hisoka confirms that he isn't his target and agrees to take the one-pointer, hoping that he gets lucky with the number. Kurapika pulls out the badge and puts it inside the opening of a nearby tree. Hisoka assures them that he won't move, and the two examinees slowly back away before disappearing into the bushes behind them. Although impressed by their progress over just a few days, Hisoka notes that the two still have a long way to go. He then comments on the strange appeal of "unripe fruit" before approaching the tree and removing the #118 badge, disappointed that it isn't his specified target.
Hisoka releasing his bloodlust
As Hisoka prepares to look for another target, Gon tries to calm himself as sweat pours down his face, deciding to make his move once Hisoka finds someone else. However, he suddenly realizes that Hisoka may find someone who hands over their badge without a fight, guessing that it's more likely than not. He then senses something and becomes frightened, with Hisoka's expression revealed to have changed drastically. The forest's creatures run away from Hisoka, and Gon is left terrified by the bloodlust, trembling and sweating once again. Hisoka licks his lips and tries to control his urges, waiting out the night by standing in the same spot.
Once the sun rises, with dark circles now around his eyes, Hisoka slowly makes his way through the forest. Gon follows after him and notes that he still looks terrifying even though the intense bloodlust has passed. He guesses that Hisoka will attack the next examinee he finds, whether they surrender or not, and decides to find them first so that he can lie in wait for a clear shot. Gon quickly climbs to the top of a tall tree and uses his extraordinary perception to spot Agon in the forest below, climbing down and guessing that Hisoka is only a minute behind him. He races down toward Agon and lies in wait behind a nearby bush. Once Hisoka spots Agon, he puts on a large grin and chuckles, suddenly dashing forward to attack the examinee.
