Conrad did not say anything anymore.
The man then smiled.
"My name is Agetis."
After telling his name, Agetis nodded like he was congratulating himself for doing something big.
"You know that entering this place is punishable by death."
"But you still entered."
"I guess you did not expect to find something like this and just thought that it would be some sort of a mineral existing in this place."
Conrad said nothing again. His silence is taken as a confirmation by Agetis.
"Now."
"If you were an ordinary individual, you would be killed."
"Not that you would be able to enter a place if you were ordinary."
"But considering that you are a hunter, which can be checked easily, and know about the continent and everything."
"As long as you did not kill anybody while entering, you should have no problem."
Conrad smiled.
"That is good to hear."
Agetis smiled.
"Can you tell me anything about this crystal humanoid being..." Conrad asked; he did not care if it was a secret or not. He found it interesting and wanted to ask, so he did.
Agetis smiled helplessly.
"No, I can not."
"As you can imagine, only people who have rights and permission should know about the details."
"The only reason I am not aggressive to you is because you seem not a total deviant and have enough power to create problems."
Conrad nodded.
"I shall go then."
Agetis nodded.
"You can go as you have arrived."
"Tell me your name and surname before you leave so that I can check your license."
Conrad thought for a moment.
"Nah, he does not seem like an individual who would use a name and surname from a target to activate a nen ability," he thought and also understood inherently that just asking somebody a name and surname would not result in a great and dangerous power.
At least not to himself at this stage.
"Conrad Everest." Conrad said his name and surname and then left without saying anything more.
Agetis nodded as he looked behind Conrad.
"Conrad Everest..."
"What an interesting individual," he murmured.
-
In two hours, Conrad was back in his room. Truthfully, he did want to learn more about that crystal man, but he knew that there were still things that he needed to think more about.
There is no real reason for him to risk problems with an unknown organization that has NEN users and is connected to the Hunter Association in some way.
Not to mention it is more than likely that the Heart Ice Area, which he preferred to use the name of Heart Ice Research Center, most likely has some ties with V5.
He does not think that there are organizations that are capable of conducting research on creatures, objects, and things related to the Dark Continent without the support of V5.
He believed they would be discovered and quickly taken care of by V5 using the Hunters as the weapon.
"In the end."
"I satisfied my curiosity about that place and know that it is just a research area for a particular dark-continent creature."
"A calamity..."
Conrad then closed his eyes and opened his windows, shut down some of his NEN, and entered a deep meditation.
Time passed quickly; one month later, Conrad left the Cradle City and exchanged phone numbers with Dali to meet at a later time.
He hopped onto an airship and started going towards the Heavens Arena.
After arriving at the Heavens Arena, he entered his room and nodded.
"Good..."
"There is no feeling like going back home after that cold."
Before Conrad wanted to complete the third and last stage, the poison environment, he first entered the website and laughed.
"Oh..."
"Gon and Killua are here too."
"They are about to advance into the 200s."
"I would say it is also about time for them to encounter Hisoka in the hallways and meet with Nen while Wing teaches them."
"They don't know, but Wing is an examiner from the Hunter Association to give them knowledge of nen, at least to Gon."
Conrad took a deep breath.
He wanted to get in contact with Leorio; he did not want to touch Kurapika, as he was one of the mains in terms of how the story goes, and he did not want to get in contact with Gon because he did not find him that interesting.
Killua, on the other hand, was interesting to him, but again, he is too much of a central point to the story.
Leorio, on the other hand, was a blank page; he did nothing that would be counted as something particular in the story, and having some connection to him would not change huge things.
Conrad then called Mizaistom.
"Hi."
"I want to ask about a new hunter named Leorio and would like to be given the secret examiner position for him."
Mizaistom, as a Zodiac, had huge amounts of privilege and power within the Hunter Association; such a small request was something easy for him to do.
He did not really need to ask anything from Conrad, as doing something good for him and earning favor is more than enough.
Mizaistom listened and said he would be sending the related information and secret examiner status.
Not much later, Conrad checked his mail and smiled.
"Okay."
"So, he is at Yorknew City, staying at a hotel to look for the best options for his medical knowledge."
After finding the location of Leorio, Conrad bought himself a ticket and left the heavens arena.
-
A young man in a dark suit with a suitcase sat down in the park and nodded as he smiled brightly.
"Great!"
"Great..."
"With this, I can finally study for the exam without caring about the fee of the medical school..."
Leorio said as he acted weirdly; some of the mothers with their children were taken aback and slowly started getting away from the weird man.
Leorio looked at the others, annoyed.
"I am not doing anything wrong..." he thought, and then he noticed something.
A man, at the very least five years older than himself, was looking at him from the bench.
Leorio's eyes changed to serious from ordinary.
"What is this guy about?"
"He is weird in the sense of something that I cannot find a name to put to it."
