Synopsis[]

Chap 133 - Three players tailing Gon and Killua

Three players tailing Gon and Killua

After winning the "Sword of Truth" from the tournament, Gon and Killua start to think about how to protect the card since they don't have any spell cards. They also realize that other players saw them win the card, with Killua saying that several are already tailing them. Gon knows they can't let their guard down since they're still defenseless against spells. Killua, however, says that he may be able to guess their spells and defend against them even without any of their own. He takes the advice that he learned from Nickes' group, and the two work together to devise a strategy. A certain player who has been following them seems hesitant to steal a card from kids, but thinks about his wife and needing to provide for her. He gets distracted remembering how many years he has spent inside the game, but eventually turns his focus back to the card and says that it would be worth at least Jenny Symbol 201110 million in game, allowing him to not have to worry about money in game ever again. He has a "Thief" card in his possession and knows that he has to seize the opportunity before someone else does.

The man suddenly comes out from hiding and orders the two to hand over the "Sword of Truth" card, but Killua just says no and continues walking away. As the man summons his book and the two summon theirs, he says that they are bluffing and only have the one specified slot card, quickly using his "Thief" card and telling it to attack Killua and take his "Sword of Truth." However, the "Thief" card simply vanishes, and the man learns that Killua had no cards in his specified slots, meaning that he had moved it to his free slots. Another player seizes his chance and uses a "Pickpocket" card to try to take a card from Killua's free slots. However, the "Pickpocket card" vanishes, and the man is in disbelief that Killua didn't have any cards in his free slots either.

Killua tells him that just because he won the card doesn't mean he put it in his own book, and Gon gives a big grin. The man quickly uses another "Pickpocket," but as he looks at the card he received, he can't believe it's just a "Rock" card, in dismay that two new players would take advantage of strategies like shuffle guard and full-slot guard. The player tells himself that he has one more "Pickpocket," but he knows that Gon's free slots are most likely filled with more junk, saying that it may not be worth taking the chance.

As he continues to waver, a third player confidently approaches and says that he used "Clairvoyance" to check Killua's book and "Peek" to confirm that the card is in Gon's free slots. He pulls out a "Mug" card, but before he can finish the utterance, Gon dashes toward him and swipes the card right out of his hand, leaving the man stunned. However, Gon returns the card and says that he will take it for good next time. Killua warns him that Gon is a professional Hunter, adding that he has become too reliant on spell cards. As the two leave, the man says that their tactics won't last forever and that they will inevitably run into stronger players.

As Gon and Killua agree that the third player was right and that they need to find defensive spell cards, a group of players suddenly ambushes them and says that they can't run away. They play rock-paper-scissors among themselves to decide the order to cast spells, and one of the players says that only idiots enter the contests. After the card is taken from them, Gon sulks at the loss, but Killua tells him to forget it and be glad that the players didn't use violence. The two agree that it's time to head to Masadora for spell cards.
