A/N: Honestly I had forgotten I hadn't posted this edited version until a few days ago and I was contemplating whether it had been too long or not but you know whatever I just decided to post it anyway :P This isn't a complete rewrite. I just fixed some grammatical errors (there might still be a little tho =.= haven't touched this in months... I'm sorry) I struggle with tense so the biggest change would be the change from past tense to all present tense. I have also changed a bit of the storyline in the later chapters but not anything big, it was just something I saw and realised was a little stupid so I changed it haha... I don't know why I felt the need to laugh... hiding my stupidity!

P.S. The word count is less because this will be the only author's note. Honestly the only reason I have decided to keep the original up was because I just wanted to keep my journey of sorts. I know it sounds weird but I just feel a range of emotions when I reread the original and see my author's notes. Gah! I don't even know, I'm just a weirdo, ignore me! On with the story!

(Also super excited the hunter x hunter hiatus is over!) *\(^o^)/*


This is set between the chimera ant arc and the election. Let's just say Gon wasn't injured and netero didn't die


x Prologue x

All the hunters from the last ten years have been invited to the 10-year exam. It is not compulsory to come but please keep in mind accidents do happen like losing your licence for instance or you name accidentally being placed on the black list, but those are just rare probabilities. Don't let it scare you. Hohoho!

"Oi… that old man is just outright threatening us isn't he?" Killua says.

"Sounds like fun!" Gon says excitedly, ignoring his friend's negativity.

"Plus you heard what might happen if we don't attend…" Leorio adds.

"I guess you're right. Do you think Kurapika will go?"

"I hope so! It's been ages since we've seen him."
