At this, Luke looked at the somewhat distracted Uvogin: "In that place, Uvogin, you can also beat people up without holding back."
"Hmm?!!"
Uvogin perked up immediately. "Is there such a good place?!!"
"Of course, and this place has something to do with us, too."
Luke smiled and flicked his ID card.
The citizen column read Republic of Padokea.
In the Republic of Padokea, there's a very famous place.
It's a must-see for any traveler to the world of Hunter x Hunter.
It's called… Heavens Arena.
It's a holy place and paradise for fighting fans everywhere.
It's also a great place to hone your skills and earn money.
The Heavens Arena has 251 floors, 991 meters high, making it the fourth-tallest building in the world.
The tower is filled with fighting arenas; up to the 200th floor, each ten floors is a level.
Only the winners can advance to higher floors.
Every year, more than a billion spectators from around the world watch, and over four thousand challengers register daily.
Even in a city like Bigchira, there are dedicated airships traveling to the Heavens Arena.
After casually asking about the flight schedules, Luke and the others bought four tickets for the nearest flight.
What? You ask… Where did they get the money for the flight tickets?
Since Risnorth, chairman of the Mom's Help foundation, has set his sights on the children in Meteor City,
He must have a dedicated organization in the area closest to Meteor City.
The Mom's Help Foundation sign was too conspicuous, and Risnorth's reputation as an outstanding philanthropist was too resounding.
Luke and the others easily found its location.
After all, even after his death, he was still being mourned on television ten years later.
This shows how influential he was and how resounding his reputation was.
This made it convenient for Luke and the others to find it.
Then, taking advantage of the dark and windy night, the group unleashed their true nature.
In fact, Luke didn't even need to intervene; Feitan and Phinks were enough.
"After all, we were thieves before!"
After his success, Feitan calmly tossed out a small cloth bag filled with Jenny's banknotes.
Before joining the brigade, he and Phinks were already a renowned motorcycle thief duo in Meteor City.
Now, they were simply reverting to their old ways.
"We scouted that guy's company in advance, collecting a little interest first."
Feitan and Phinks executed the plan perfectly, obtaining it almost silently.
Well, it must be said, they have quite the talent and instincts for being thieves.
So, after they had enough money, Luke took them to buy tickets for the Heavens Arena.
It was also their first time boarding an airship.
The Oblivion region, where Meteor City is located, is on the other side of the world, and the Heavens Arena is located at the northernmost point.
(T/N: Changing Oblivion Continent to Oblivion region.)
Using the airship alone, it would take about two days to travel from south to north.
But fortunately, this gave Uvogin and Phinks plenty of time to familiarize themselves with the current world.
At the very least, they need to know some basic common sense.
For example, the current world is composed of six continents.
The world's highest governing body is called V5, and the Hunter Association, where the most popular professional hunters work, is an organization under V5…
Basic common sense like this… Luke locked Uvogin and the others in the room to cram in their lessons.
There was also a television in the room, allowing them to better understand the outside world and the situation.
Despite Uvogin's muscular appearance, he was far from being simple-minded.
After being captured by Kurapika before, he had been able to estimate the current time based on his previous meals and hunger level.
At least, when the report about Risnorth, chairman of the Mom's Help foundation, appeared on TV.
"This guy is our first target, right?!"
Uvogin and the others immediately recognized him.
"He's our first-stage boss…"
Feitan muttered, memorizing the man's face.
He was the tall, seemingly benevolent figure of a middle-aged man, his face etched with the smile of an elite.
At first glance, he possessed the classic demeanor of a high-class person.
"One day, I'll crush his head."
Phinks's head bulged with veins, and a sinister grin appeared across his face.
This guy had already been designated their number one target.
With this encouragement, they studied even harder.
And so, after two days of intensive study with Luke, they had begun to grasp some basic common sense about the outside world.
Well, even Luke himself had gained a general understanding of the Hunter x Hunter world.
Previously, he had only known the tip of the iceberg through the information provided in the anime.
For example, knowing that the Heavens Arena was the fourth-tallest building in the world, and knowing nothing about the first, second, and third-tallest buildings.
Plants like the world tree weren't considered buildings.
Now, Luke had a general understanding of the world.
Under these circumstances, the group finally arrived at the martial arts sanctuary that fighters dreamed of, the Heavens Arena!
When Luke and the others disembarked from the airship, they were captivated by the massive fighting hall before them.
At this time, the Heavens Arena had not yet reached the level of a globally broadcast venue via the future internet.
In areas where the internet hadn't yet penetrated, the Heavens Arena wasn't as safe as one might imagine.
"There are so many interesting people…"
Uvogin swaggered ahead, glancing around excitedly.
Among the applicants from all over the world, there were quite a few dangerous ones, each resembling a ferocious, ruthless criminal.
Some criminals might be hiding here, using the Heavens Arena to avoid being captured, vent violent desires, or earn some extra money.
Uvogin, of course, was fearless, lifting his chin and walking through the crowd under their watchful eyes.
He didn't mind being noticed; that, on the contrary, would be exactly what he wanted!
