Chapter One

She gathered her raven locks and tied it up into a ponytail before walking up to the tiny green man. The man noticed her approached and smiled kindly at her. When she arrived before him, he took out a tag with the number 100 on it. "Welcome to the Hunter Exam. Please keep your tag on your chest at all times and be careful not to lose it."

"Thank you," she said, accepting the tag. She pinned the tag onto her black, off the shoulder top before scanning the exam site. At first, she noticed a bunch of rowdy-looking guys and very few girls. They all look weak. But of course, that conclusion was only drawn from the initial scan. Her second scan allowed her to pinpoint some interesting applicants. Hence, an amused smile crept onto her face.

Just then, she felt a nudge from behind. "Someone's approaching," informed a voice.

She hummed softly. "I know."

Surely, seconds later, a fat man appeared before the lass and introduced himself. "Hello rookies, I'm Tonpa, what's your name?"

"It's Elina," she said, stealing a glance at Tonpa's tag. It had the number 16.

"I see, so it's Elina! What a wonderful name!" Tonpa then pointed at the silver-haired boy beside her, "And what's yours?"

Instead of introducing himself, the silver-haired boy narrowed his deep blue eyes. "How did you know we're rookies?" His voice was guarded.

Tonpa grinned brightly. "You don't have to be so cautious. I'm only an old exam veteran who wants to make friends." He extended out his hand for a handshake but was rejected by the younger male. Tonpa laughed sheepishly and retrieved his hand. "Anyway, to celebrate our meeting, let's have a toast!" He immediately reached for his bag and took out two cans of juice. He shoved the juice into Elina's and her companion's hands. "Drink up, it's very good!"

Elina cracked open the can and secretly gave it a sniff. "You don't have to be so cautious"... Yeah right, who in the right mind would put laxative in someone's juice? She glanced at her partner. He was actually drinking the juice and seems to be enjoying it. Really, Killua?

Tonpa watched with pleasure as the silver-haired boy gulped down the drink. Messy silver hair, deep blue eyes, and that skateboard… You think you look cool? Well, you'll soon die from dehydration. I can't wait to see that look of despair!

Finishing the juice, the younger boy wiped his mouth with his sleeves. "Gosh, this sure hit the spot! Thanks, Tonpa!"

Huh? Huhhhh!? What the heck?! How can he be perfectly fine after drinking that! Tonpa began to sweat like crazy. "N-no problem, I'm glad you like it." Crap, I stuttered-

His thoughts were interrupted by a clang. What came after was a cry. "Oh no! I'm so sorry, Tonpa-san! I dropped the juice!"

Tonpa wore an understanding smile. "No, it's fine. I'll give you another one." He handed Elina another can of juice.

...Can't you see that I don't want it? "...Thank you, that's so nice of you."

"Of course!" Tonpa took Elina's words to heart and puffed out his chest. After a few more minutes of chit-chat, Tonpa finally left to "welcome" some more rookies.

Once Tonpa was out of sight, Elina muttered something underneath her breath. Killua swore he heard, "What an annoying b*stard". Thanks to Tonpa, Elina's mood had taken a sour turn. Seeing his partner like that, he couldn't help but laugh. "You reap what you sow. Who told you to act so friendly?"

"I was only being polite," Elina snapped, throwing her can of juice at the boy. Killua easily caught the can and placed it into his pocket.

Walking up to a crate, Elina took a seat. "When will the exam start? I'm bored already..."

Killua was about to say something, but the sudden loud noise caught his attention instead. A man with light purple hair and wore a dark purple suit appeared in the very front of the crowd. "I apologize for the wait. I'm Satotz, the examiner for phase one. I shall lead you all to the exam's second phase. The exam for his phase is you must follow me to phase two. Begin!"

Killua whistled. "Straight to the point, huh? I like that." The people in the front began to walk and slowly started to pick up the pace. Elina reluctantly stood up. I just sat down... Shaking her head, she followed the crowd and broke into a run. When she glanced to her left, she was greeted by thin air. A small irk mark appeared on her forehead. He ditched me!
