Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 183

However, the ball had indeed been buried in the fire just now.

Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be as Netero said, that this contest would be impossible to determine a winner.

However~~~

"Who said the ball was completely burned?"

Mog smiled and picked up a piece of black shavings with one hand.

The charred marks and remaining patterns on it vaguely revealed its original appearance—it was the ball from before. 637

"It's staying here obediently in my hand right now."

Having said that, he didn't wait for Chairman Netero's reaction.

Mog immediately picked up the [Restoration Lamp] and shone it on the charred debris.

Buzz~! !

Under the orange-red beam of light, one could see a charred fragment in Mog's hand.

With a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch, it instantly reformed, and in the blink of an eye, a ball materialized in Mog's hand.

"Now, the ball should be in my hands."

Mog looked at Chairman Netero and weighed the ball in his hand, which had been restored to its original state.

"So, according to the agreement, once I get my hands on the ball..."

Mog laughed and said, "Then I won this match!"

Netero: "~~~~~~"

He stared silently at the ball in Mog's hand, and finally, he stroked his beard once again.

"Ho ho ho, I've lost."

Chairman Netero laughed, "I never thought that this time, I would really be defeated by you."

"【Restore Light Lamp】, hmm, it's really a very useful 【invention】."

"If I lose because of this kind of 'invention'..."

Chairman Netero showed no signs of frustration, as if everything was as usual:

"Then, my defeat is not entirely unjust."

"Besides, I'm not the kind of person who would renege on a loss after it's been made..."

"I hereby grant you the position of vice president."

Chairman Netero flicked his sleeve lightly: "I can make the decision on this matter and grant you the position of vice chairman of the Hunter Association."

"But... beans."

Netero looked toward Mr. Bean Man, who had recovered and was now busy tidying up the logistics.

Yes, just as Chairman Netero and Mog were talking.

Mr. Beanman has once again communicated with all parties on the airship.

The repaired airship has now successfully returned to its original, correct orbit.

"What is it, President?!"

Mr. Bean Man, who was wiping the sweat from his brow after a long day of work, finally breathed a sigh of relief as he got things back on track.

When he heard Chairman Netero call him, he immediately jogged over.

"What qualifications are needed for an ordinary professional hunter to become the vice president of the Hunter Association?"

"Uh... the vice president?!"

Mr. Bean Man was momentarily stunned when he heard such a term come out of Chairman Netero's mouth.

It seems that since Netero took office as president, their Hunter Association hasn't had a vice president for many years.

"According to the Hunter Association's Code of Conduct for Professional Hunters..."

Mr. Bean Man only paused for a moment before clearing his throat.

Recite the contents of the association's internal guidelines:

"If a professional hunter wants to serve as the vice president of the Hunter Association, then first and foremost, they must support the work of the Hunter Association and possess excellent moral character and personal qualities..."

Mr. Bean Man is indeed worthy of being the president's secretary; his professional skills are outstanding, and he remembers the relevant rules and regulations perfectly, able to recite them fluently.

"Stop spouting that rambling nonsense~~"

Netero picked at his ear. "Just tell me your specific requirements."

"...Specifically, there must be three points."

Mr. Beanman held up his little finger: "The first point is the length of time I've served as a professional hunter."

"To become a candidate for vice president, a hunter must have been a professional hunter for at least 80% of the time that all hunters in the association have spent."

"And according to the current information on the official hunter members of the Hunter Association..."

Mr. Bean Man paused slightly, seemingly retrieving information about the professional hunters from his mind.

"Currently, there are a total of 680 professional hunters, which is no less than 80%, meaning they must occupy at least 20% of the top 136."

"If we consider the specific time a professional hunter joined the Hunter Association, to get into the top 136..."

Mr. Bean Man did the calculations and then gave the result: "It would take at least twelve years, seven months and thirteen days to become a professional hunter."

Is it possible to qualify as a professional hunter with nearly twelve years and eight months of experience?

"That's alright."

Netero simply waved his hand dismissively: "As long as there are special channels for exceptions, this age requirement can be waived."

Mr. Bean Man: "..."

He looked at Chairman Netero, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Special, unconventional channels?"

Mog was somewhat curious: "What special channel?"

"This one~~~"

Netero said casually, "As long as there is a handwritten letter from the president of the association with his seal, it shows that the candidate's ability is outstanding enough, and there is no need for any time limit."

"I'm still somewhat useful as the president of this association, hehehe."

While laughing, Netero swung his hand back and knocked away the attacking [Falling Expert Z].

Hmm, this killer robot is quite persistent~~~

With Chairman Netero providing reassurance, Mog nodded in agreement.

I continued looking at Mr. Bean Man, who was displaying the conditions there.

"The second requirement is that we need more than half of the hunters within the Hunter Association to support us."

Mr. Beanman continued, "At that time, we will issue a vote to all professional hunters."

"At least half of the professional hunters must agree for you to be eligible."

"After all, to become the vice president, you have to make sure that all the professional hunters know about this."

Yes, that makes sense and there's no problem.

Mog didn't think there was anything wrong with it; it was just that he had only recently become a professional hunter.

He doesn't know many other professional hunters, his social circle isn't very large, and I reckon not many people know him.

"On this point, my words carry some weight within the association."

Netero casually said, "When the time comes, I'll have Bean add a sentence to the bottom of this announcement, saying that you are someone I approve of."

"In that case, I think quite a few people will be willing to vote for you, hehehe."

Netero laughed again.

Mog couldn't help but thank Netero, saying, "Thank you for your help, Chairman Netero."

This is tantamount to the other party using their own reputation to vouch for themselves.

Even if many professional hunters later vote in favor.

However, most of them probably did it out of respect for Nitero; they were simply willing to believe him.

"It's nothing."

Netero waved his hand. "Isn't this what I should do?"

"If you're willing to bet, you have to accept the consequences. There's nothing wrong with admitting it."

"not to mention……"

Netero chuckled and said, "If you really become the vice president, what if you could use some of your inventions for the Hunter Association...?"

"Then my guarantee has not been wasted and has been quite valuable."

Clearly, Nite also highly values ​​Mogg's "invention".

This act of guarantee stems from both an obligation to fulfill a promise and a genuine personal belief in Mog.

Chapter 141: A Vice President who perfectly matches your imagination and expectations! Your choice was absolutely correct; your loss was definitely not unjust!

Mog could also sense Chairman Netero's good intentions and silently kept them in mind.

Then look at Mr. Bean Man, waiting for the final, third condition.

"If the first two are fine, then the third rule..."

Mr. Bean's tone became slightly more serious: "It is the most fixed and strict rule that even the president of the Hunter Association cannot interfere with or show favoritism in.

"That is the merits and contributions that a professional hunter must accumulate."

"And the most standard and clear rule for measuring this is, of course,..."

Mr. Beanman said seriously, "It's a star rating for a professional hunter."

"To serve as the president of the Hunter Association or a high-ranking official, one must meet the requirements of a three-star hunter."
