Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 378

Hunters devote their lives to doing dangerous activities, such as exploring undiscovered regions of the earth and seeking out rare objects and beasts. One must pass the Hunter Examination in order to become a Hunter, which is a risky selection process where the majority of candidates end up disabled or, worse, dead.

Ambitious candidates that take the infamous exam do it for a specific motive. Gon Freecss, 12, is motivated by the desire to discover Ging, his father, and another Hunter. Gon begins to follow the same route since he thinks that by becoming a Hunter, he will eventually run into his father.

Gon makes friends with Leorio Paladiknight, a medical student, the vengeful Kurapika, and Killua Zoldyck, a former assassin, while they are all taking the Hunter Examination. Despite having very different motivations, they work together to achieve a shared objective and start to venture into a perilous world.
