Alright, lads, you're an examiner for the next Hunter Exam. You're in charge of designing ONE (1) stage that will test would-be Hunters' ability to function in the Hunter world. The purpose of your stage is to separate the wheat from the chaff, however you see fit. Your stage should be possible to finish, although you are not required to make it possible for everyone who competes in it.
For example, say there are 500 applicants. Your stage should reduce this number, but not to zero. You can devise a stage where it is possible for everyone to advance, a la Satotz's endurance walk, or you can devise a stage where it is impossible for everyone to advance, a la the Zevil Island badge collecting stage. The choice is entirely up to you. Just make sure you weed out those not fitting to be Hunters.
So, what is your stage? And in what way does it test the applicants for what is needed in a Hunter?
Reminder that getting caught was only the first step of her master plan

Full body 3 pass straight razor shave, you cannot be a hunter without having blood in your veins.
Carter Gomez
They have to find and tame a giant wild horsemonster. Kite said that Hunters are liked by animals, so it should work. Then they have to go through an obstacle course with their pet horsemonster for an entire day. And the obstacle course has Nen traps. The final trap in the obstacle course requires them more or less to kill their horsemonster. This removes moralfags.
Oliver Parker
An underground labyrinth filled with puzzles that must be solved within a given time and under pressure in order to move forward. Puzzles involve simple math and logic concepts but remain quite complex, given the context, and can only be solved by using the environment. The purpose of the test is not only to check the applicant's cognitive abilities, his or her observational abilities, as well as his or her resistance to stress and ability to remain lucid in all circumstances.
Failure to solve an enigma triggers a potentially lethal trap that can be avoided (but it requires physical abilities and reflexes worthy of an Olympic medalist). It is thus possible to pass the test without solving a single enigma, but only individuals who are already technically and physically extremely strong can do so.
Camden Reyes
Rectal insertion. A Hunter must adapt to any and all scenarios, and what scenario more unexpected than putting something up your butt, whether it be for smuggling or seduction? How you get the assigned object (usually something about the length of banana and width of a can of stick deodorant) up there is entirely up to you, but you’ve gotta do it without any tearing and hold it for at least 30 minutes, with no Part of the object visible from the outside.

Ask them if Pitou is a girl. If their answer is positive they failed.
Jayden Lewis
They have to tell me their waifu and if it is anyone with a questionable gender, they are fucking banned for life.

I'll take them on a ship and force them to participate in a battle royale type of war of covert tactics as bodyguards for Princes.

Are traps gay?
There is no right or wrong answer, they just need to present a convincing argument why their chosen answer is correct

Arm wresting contest to eliminate half the applicants. Everyone only gets one try, but you get to pick your opponent, winners move on to the next stage.

What killed the hype?
Michael Martin
Too many jobbers in Ben's side
Christopher Martinez
I call Hisoka to measure their Battle Potential. If they get over 50, they pass immediately and join the HA. If they get between 30 and 49, they go to the next test. If they get below 29, they fail.
James Martinez
Wouldn't work, everyone would struggle to find a willing opponent.
Dominic Bailey
Nen baptism. If they die, too bad, if not, welcome!
Kevin Allen
If there is no fight in next chapter, I'm going to drop this.
Kayden Myers
Nah just riichi. Give them that yaku list and the ruleset for half a hour and go. Memorization, luck, psychology, math and observation skills test. Two days, 5 hanchans each. First day sitting is continuously mixed, minimum second encounters. Second day strongest mostly play with the strongest, people fight their direct opponents. The result is the sum of all the points from the 10 games. Hanzo's little brother knows what to do and he gets to be the very first dealer of his table but of course overdoes it. 5 renchans in and now everybody here knows what to do as well.

Everyone would divide into groups of five, randomly chosen through lottery, and be sequestered in an extremely cramped room. Incidentally, they would have to share a single toilet, placed firmly in the center of the room, without a shower or sink. They would be forced to co-habitate in this room for an entire week. They'd only be allowed food and water after night has fallen, in accordance with Ramadan. Both food and water would be bad tasting, but nutritious. Obviously the room would have no windows. There would be a recording playing vague mechanical sounds at all times, loud enough to be noticeable but not loud enough to prevent conversations. The room would be highly humid and about eight degrees at all times. If at any time, someone wants to leave the room, everyone of the five would be disqualified. If anyone dies while in the room, everyone would be disqualified.
They'd have to suffer an unpleasant and degrading week together. Tensions would run high, but all in all, I think the success rate for this would probably be around 60-70%. It would be gross and agonizingly boring, but it's something even I could accomplish. Hunters frequently have to live in disgusting or difficult conditions on the job, often on a mission with others, and this stage would test their capacity to do that.
Parker Morgan
the intent of a trap is gay, whoever is actively looking for a trap is gay, whoever is a ignorant victim of a trap is not. so yes, traps are gay, did I pass?
Wyatt Watson
Clear Contempt of court.
Isaac Howard
Why is Theta so perfect?

Zachary Turner
I send them in Meteor City and ask that each partecipant brings me back 100 meteor city native scalp. Dosent matter if they are women, children or elderly. I want my 100 Meteor City scum scalp.
Gavin Bailey
I'd do a chuunin exam sort of test but with random members. All the examinees will be divided into random groups of 3 or 4 members, the objective being to capture a scroll through whatever means possible. I'd host it in a very dangerous place with lots of wild animals and harsh terrain plus add lots of traps and puzzles inside the place. Killing your teammate through whatever means will result in disqualification, though if a teammate is killed by another group, the group is allowed to carry on. They won't bring anything with them, and they'd do this test for an entire week wherein the group has to have at least 2 scrolls with them until the time is up. If they don't have the scrolls with them, they are eliminated.

Justin Clark
a gigant maze, everyone is placed at random spots in the maze with two exits on opposite sides, each exit needs a comically large key that placed at the opposite side of the maze.
Once a exit is open it will only stay open for 5 minutes, after that time is over it will close and cannot be opened again.
All violence is allowed and lets add a minotaur in the maze hunting down the contestants.
Adrian Taylor
A stage that can only be completed by already knowing nen.
Mason Flores
Pretty much this. Best way to kick out the brainlets and the incompetent.
Brayden Cruz
Have them take this quiz: humanbenchmark.com/dashboard They're allowed one re-take only. Not for each portion, just one re-take for whichever one they please. You have to do better than the 90% percentile on at least two different portions. Do that, you pass. Don't, you fail.
Connor Rodriguez
Dick sucking contest all potential hunters must make me cum to pass
Carson Lopez
I'm just randomly plopping in the convo, but: Cammy's willing to kill children because they are in her way to become King: that's just the nature of the life she was born into: a fight for the fittest to reign supreme. That's different from being a serial killer who kills for fun. Cammy doesn't get enjoyment out of killing people: she gets enjoyment out of people listening to her and giving her what she wants. She's far from a psychopath. She's just extremely bitchy and vindictive if you don't listen to her and was born into a position of power over others and no one has ever stopped her from abusing it. Yes, that means she is a pretty emotional, shitty and selfish person, but let's not act like it's on the same level of evil as someone who's a serial killer who gets hard-ons from killing people and who's entire existence hinges upon killing. Compared to the type of people where killing gives their life meaning: Cammy looks like the lesser of two evils. You legitimately just need to not get in her way and give her what she wants and you're fine. Even if you're in her way she still gives you a choice to join her just in case (RIP Owlguy-kun). For a serial killer, doesn't matter how much you plead and beg: in fact they'd probably like it more.
Yeah, the torture and kill your family thing is pretty bad, but that's actually pretty common for totalitarian governments in order to ensure submission and given she's probably been raised getting everything she's ever wanted, I'm sure she's used that threat plenty of times in order to scare someone into obeying her. If that guy would have been like "holy shit my bad, I didn't know please don't kill my family I'll listen to you from here on out," she probably would be happy that he finally came around and realized he should just obey her. Though he did break her arm so there's probably no changing her mind on that. Yes, that's bad but it's not evil for the sake of evil. It's evil for the sake of obedience.

Zachary Gomez
>everyone would struggle to find a willing opponent Then they can't pass. They all need to find a willing opponent to pass, which is part of the test. Obviously you want to pick someone you think you can beat, so it tests the applicant's ability to judge someone's strength as well as their own physical strength.
Grayson Diaz
Make them run a marathon while reading the last HxH arc. They need to finish before 2h and have to give me a realistic scenario for how Theta will be turned to dog food.

killing the entire clans of rivals was common practice in the entire ancient world, the one example to prove the rule was the leniency of Cesar that turned into his downfall

Reminder that if Gon knew that Kite was already dead when he met Pitou at the palace. He would have killed a defensless Pitou along with the little wounded blind girl. Truly best shonen protagonist. I miss him so much.
Angel Morales
Isolate everyone, strip them of their clothing and belongings, and put them in the dark. Give them a button. Tell them, once they think it has been 24 hours, to push the button. They then have to keep track of time using only their brains and bodily state. How you choose the winners can vary depending on how many people you have to whittle down. You could do something like only accept the 100 closest guesses and automatically have a 20% passing rate from a group of 500.

Musse will never have a grave since there is no body. So all his loved ones won't have a place to gather and mourn him kek
Jayden Cook
how come royal guard had no memories from their former life? in theory the queen used all the nen user food to create them, so they should be able to remember a lot
Eli Hughes
Divide them in groups of 10. Have them play musical chairs, killing allowed. Depending on how many people you want to eliminate, you can vary the amount of available chairs.
Nathaniel Watson
Compared to the other ants, their biology was different. They were genetically thralls of the King and thus didn't have enough of a sense of self to remember their past lives.
Michael Evans
Except that his only loved one is Benjamin, who will carry forth his memory forever in his own mighty fist as the King of Kakin.
Austin Bell
still, i dont understand where all that nen comes from the queen herself was kinda a weakling from what we saw, strong for a wild beast but that's it they all seemed way too strong for the human material that was used to produce them, ant part aside
Angel Garcia
Their enormous amount of aura reveals that they were made from the life force of dozens, if not hundreds of beings, so there wouldn't really be a dominant personality.
Moreover, we know that Chimera Ant Squadron Leaders are able to reproduce and form new colonies, so some level of autonomy is probably necessary for them. The Royal Guard is presumably sterile. They don't need autonomy.
Grayson Davis
It just werks. If you want to, you can imagine that if a Squandron Leader required 10 humans eaten to be born, a Royal Guard required 1000 humans. All that latent Nen adds up, even with normals. Think of it like Cell and Gingertown.
Daniel Sanders
>Togashi confirming that Gon and Killua don't shower together to save time
Thomas Brooks
my bad, i forgot about pokkle, that's where the king got all his power from somehow it still doesnt add up, since most of them werent nen users, but if she ate thousands then yeah it might work after all
Jayden Turner
Golf. 18 holes of golf. Set a minimum score to pass, or use a curve. Golf tests a number of different things. Basic geometry, stamina, the ability to use one's surroundings, precision, the list goes on.
Oliver Cruz

Alexander Johnson
You have to remember that everyone has aura, even non-Nen users. Nen users just know how to use it. So every time the Queen ate a human while gestating the Royal Guard, they became stronger, even if the human was nothing strong. You'll remember that a Nen user, a "rare human" was worth a thousand or so normal humans. The Queen simply ate a staggering amount of normal people.
Hunter Morales

Succession Crises really change when there's a woman King, I suppose. Nasubi had 14 kids. If you're a woman, you probably won't have more than four. I wonder if we'll ever hear how Nasubi's Crisis went.
William Brooks
yeah, that sounds pretty logic after all. didnt consider eating 50 humans daily for some weeks adds up nicely in nen amount their nen talest remains kinda unexplained but i will leave it to "ant talent"
Oliver Lewis
Me too. I definitely can get behind a strong grudge and hate. It was definitely refreshing to it portrayed that realistically instead of the usual shonen shit. Togashi really is amazing.

Even if they dont shower, at least they bathe together (as shown on whale island)
Charles Roberts

Xavier Russell
All living things have an aura. And they are born with an amount of aura that is difficult to increase except by training (meditation). Nen users are able to use aura for a variety of effects, depending on their Nen-type affinity.
Due to the way in which Chimera Ants are born (amalgamating different animals eaten by the Queen), they have a naturally high amount of aura. Most ants weren't particularly skilled Nen users. They just had a lot more aura than humans, which allowed them to use massive power despite not having trained much.
Which is also why all the people saying Tserriednich is going to be Meruem-tier are dumb. Meruem and the Royal guard had aura equivalent to hundreds of humans. No matter how skilled Tserriednich is, he will lack raw power.
Jose Morales
I love Cammy!
Jonathan James
The stage would take place in the Australian continent of HxH’s world. The goal of the stage would be to find a small chest with a flare in it. The chests are all located in a specific area that is over 100 hundred km long and wide. The examinees are separated into groups of four and they’ll be handed a map of the area, they will have 96 hours to find the chest. The area is a desert, the air is incredibly dry and there is no shelter from the sun until you get close to the middle of the area. The group has to find a red flagpole that has another chest buried under it, this chest has the map that shows the location of the flare, and some provisions. When they find the flare they will have to light it and a smaller zeppelin will come to the location to pick people up. There are no rules against killing other examinees during the stage, so the group that lights the flare are extremely vulnerable. The hidden rule is that the zeppelin that comes is only allowed to only bring back four people max. The rule that must be followed is that anyone that have stepped inside the zeppelin can’t be targeted by other examinees, if anyone kills a person that has stepped inside will be disqualified.
This would probably be one of the later stages since there are a limited amount of flares and the examinees are separated into groups of four.
William Taylor
perfect late game dead prince
Isaiah Collins
If Meruem ate Pitou could he have Doctor Blythed away his radiation poisoning?
Carter Wilson
well, Tse is dangerous because to add to his rotten nen he will also have a very important position in the global politics, so you cant simply kill him off, and he could use his position to his advantage, mixing it with his nen it might be overall more dangerous than the king itself (as in danger for mankind, not in raw power of course) also you cant just nuke him
Brandon Ward
He is too fucked to heal it away If he created a clone/child, it would most likely suffer extreme genetic damage, making it into a breeding experiment. If he went all in, he could have find a way to stabilize the isotopes and radiation, but he would eventually die from the gene damage. So it would be possible to save his lifeforce, but not his life.

In Togashi's mind, the way ants had their genes selected was probably some kind of Lamarckismic mechanism. It's obviously not realistic, but this is fantasy. This basically means that all positive traits are inherited, including neurological. That's why they are geniuses.
