Author Note: Hi everyone! This is Nicky, and this is my first story and I do hope you guys, the readers, will enjoy it! As this is my first work, criticism is encouraged as I would like to know how I can (and will) improve myself as an aspiring writer. Now, without further ado, I present to you 'Lightning to Flames'!

Disclaimer: Hunter X Hunter is owned by the incredible Togashi-sensei. I am only borrowing his characters and plot. I only own my OC's and their Nen power.

'Thoughts'

"Talking"

(3rd Person's Point of View)

The doors of the elevator opened with a 'Ding' as a small girl stepped out into a dark empty cavern. Taking in a deep breath, she did a quick scan of the entire cavern.

"Hello. Please take a number, and congratulations on being the first person here,"

The girl turned her sights to her front as she slowly registered a… Green person's presence? Slowly blinking, she reached out and took the offered badge.

"Be sure to wear this on your chest at all times and be careful not to lose it." The green person continued.

"Thank you, atto?"

"Ah, my name is Beans."

"My name is Akira. Ano, Beans-san, may I ask if it's ok for me to go back outside?"

"Hai. There isn't any problem if a candidate leaves the Examination Hall, however, once the entry period is over, entrance to the exam site is not allowed."

"I see. May I know when does the entry period end?"

"The entry period for the Hunter Exam is held over a course of 3 days. At exactly 12pm on the third day is when the entry period for Hunter applicants will end. Incidentally, this is the first day of the Hunter Exams entry period."

"Understood. Thank you very much Beans-san! Then if you'll excuse me, I'll be heading back outside." Akira turned around, before turning back to face Beans.

"Also, Beans-san? If possible, could you not tell any of the other candidates how I look like when they come in later? I'm sure a number of them would be curious to find out how the first person here looks like. If it's not too much of a trouble!" Akira turned to head back inside the elevator as she smiled at Beans over her shoulder.

(Akira's Point of View)

As I sat down on one of the chairs inside the elevator, I couldn't help but fiddle around with the badge I received. 'Ichiban ka? Looks like I came a little bit too early,' I tucked the badge into the pocket of my ice blue hoodie. 'Oh well, might as well do some sight-seeing, since I'm here in Zaban City, hopefully there's stuff I can do or find to pass the time until the last day. I hope there would be kids like me. It'll be fun meeting and making new friends here.'

*Timeskip*

"Please come again!"

The Greasy Spoon's waitress called out as I walked out of the diner.

"Yossha! Let's explore this city!" I declared, doing a fist pump and quickly taking off down a random direction away from the Hunter Exam Site.

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
