Finally! The day has come. The day I take the Hunter Exam.

I guess I should start by telling you my life story. It's simple, really. When I was 4 years old my mother and father were killed by a drunk man so I stayed with my Grandmother for 10 years. She taught me all about Nen, healing and herbs.
Yes, I can heal injuries, but it's not easy it takes a lot of concentration and practice. It took me 9 years to master.

One Monday evening, when me and my Grandmother were in the library like usual I came across a book that I had never read before.

It was oddly attractive so I read it. It was all about the Hunter Exam it explained the value of getting a hunter licence so I figured that getting a Hunter License would be very beneficial plus the experience wouldn't be bad either considering that I had never had a proper adventure before.

My Grandmother wasn't against the idea but she said that I needed a little bit more training in my physical power so I trained extremely hard. And after a couple of moths she said I was ready.

That's about it! Here I am, clinging onto my backpack in a room that turned out to be a lift!
It was really easy to get here but I know that the real challenges are ahead of me, I can barely wait!

The doors opened to reveal a huge tunnel, a little green man came up to me

''Congratulations, you are the first one to arrive Sir. Here is your identification number. You are free to spend your time however you wish until the other contestants arrive just don't remove your number from your clothes.'' he says giving me a little, white number ➀ badge and leaving.

'Why is he green anyway?' I wondered heading towards a wall and taking out my favorite chocolate bar. Oh! And if you're wondering why he called me Sir it's not because he can't tell genders apart, it's because I have my hood up and my hair is tied in a ponytail behind my back so you can't see my face and I have bandaged my chest, so I guess he thought I was a boy.
It's not like I have a huge need to hide my gender but it does make everything easier for me because girls especially the young ones tend to be underestimated!

I chomped on my chocolate bar and made myself comfortable in the corner of the tunnel, after I finished off my delicious chocolate bar I decided it's a good idea to have a little nap but who knows what those other people might do while I nap so I need to keep my senses sharp and try not to fall asleep I reminded myself before falling asleep anyway...

I was woken up by someone poking my head. I opened my eyes to be greeted by a fat old man with a potato instead of a nose. I'm not usually this rude it's just that he woke me up from my sleep...joke, I can feel a bad intention vibe radiating off him so my intuition tells be to stay away.

''Hello there, I'm Tonpa! You know It's not a good idea to be snoring like that during the Hunter Exam'' he introduces himself.

'' My bad, what do you want?'' I ask him.

''Well you see, I can tell that this is your first time taking the Hunter Exam so maybe I could offer you some advice. You see this is my 36th time taking this exam so I'm pretty experienced!'' he brags.

''No..I think I'll pass, if there is anyone that I'd ask for advice it'd probably be someone who has passed the exam not failed it 36 times (¬_¬)..'' I deadpanned him, I know that I'm acting like a sourpuss but I really don't like him.

''O-oh, well then how about a drink? You'll need as much energy as possible today.'' he says offering me a can of 'orange juice.

I immediately smell laxative thanks to my herb training. 'Tch, trying to poison me huh, fine.' without saying a word I down the drink and catch a glimpse of his evil smirk..
I knew it, my intuition proves right once again! Oh, and don't worry I won't actually get diarrhea I'm resistant to most of the poisons, laxatives and stuff plus the drink tasted nice.

After he gives me another drink and leaves I take out another chocolate bar from my backpack and just as I open my can full of newly acquired poison a boy about my age comes up to me.

''I wouldn't drink that if I were you, ya' know.'' he says. He has pretty sapphire eyes and unusual white hair but hey, I shouldn't complain I mean I've got unusual colored eyes myself (one of them green and the other one blue).
'Oh, so his trying to help me. I like him maybe we could be friends' I think.
Noticing that I'm not replying he continues

''It has laxative in it. That potato is trying to poison you and all the other rookies.'' I put the drink down and look up at him.

''So I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like a potato?'' I play innocent completely ignoring the fact that I was just told that someone tried to poison me which I knew anyway.

''Heh, yeah. You seem different. How old are you?'' He asks sitting down next to me.

''14, and you?'' I reply

''I'm 15,well since I saved you, how about some of that chocolate?'' he says pointing to my chocolate. Don't worry I'm not stingy, I break the chocolate bar in half and give half of it to him, an important thing in friendship is sharing. He happily takes it and we both start to munch on it looking at all the different people that have now arrived.

'Wow! I sure slept for a long time the tunnel is nearly full with people...

Who knows maybe one day one of those people will have an important place in my life...'
