Task 1 : Start x Free x Meetings
Leaning against the ship rail , she enjoyed the fresh air . Finally , she was free . Free at last . Freer than anything she could feel before . Never mentioning the past , all she needs to do now is keep moving forth . And , about that place , she will never come back .
Running away … escape the fate of an assassin .
Looking for their purpose of life
Any purpose , but revenging
She found revenging just meaningless . Desiring power blindly only makes people struggle more . And finally , they end up being insane in chaos . Speaking of that … how many people will find her to revenge ?
Though , they never find her . The assassin who killed their beloved has no name , no age , no parents .
But she has a name … a name she created herself . She considers herself as Lyra Lilian . Not bad at all , she is sure she will be fine with that alias .
Age ? May be sixteen . She lost her count long time ago
Parents ? They died because of being killed . She barely remembered their scream . Maybe those murderers thought she had died , but she was only unconscious . She wishes she could die . Because she was adopted by an assassin organization where she learned about the bitterness of the world . Among those cold hearted killer , all she could do was keep silent . She must be independent , she had to forced to kill , she must kill her own feelings . Unfortunately for them and fortunately for her , her feelings never die .
She remembered the day she decided to escape from that place … He told her :
"If you can prove you are not a killing machine like others , I will let you kill me"
His voice echoed in her head . Fine , as he wishes
"I will watch over you"
Fine again , she will let him . All she wants is freedom , now she has . He can do anything he wants as long as she can enjoy her freedom .
She looked up . The sky was coloured in a warm red . Red ? Warm ? What was she thinking ? Red means blood . For an assassin , blood means death . Nothing more, , nothing less . Yes , the perfect red hair doll was covered with blood . That perfect picture in their mind about her . It was her . Her hair , the same color of blood , the same color of that sky . Red doesn't mean "warm" . Red is actually cold and inhuman . Red is with her devil side .
Thinking red was warm … she must laugh at herself . Laugh ? Smile ? No , she couldn't . She doesn't know .
Suddenly , the captain announced with a pipe in his mouth :
-The ship is leaving . Raise the sails !
She took a deep breath . Finally , that moment came . First stage , done . She found the freedom she needs . Second stage , enjoying it . No , despite of that face , she isn't the type of person who can live peacefully . She must find her purpose of life . And the only way she can do that is fight . Fighting until she finds what is important , what she treasures , what she needs to protect . Above all , she wants to live honestly as Lyra Lilian .
Finally , she found a chance : Hunter Exam . If she becomes a Hunter , many thing will be easier . Though those exam is extremely difficult , she needs to pass it . Besides finding her goal , she has to continue to run away . They would come after her . She didn't intend to talk about them to anyone , but they never thought so . It is a unbreakable rule , a betrayal needs to be destroyed . She needs to escape them without anyone being involved . And her enemy ? How many ? She doesn't even know their face . Killed … She won't kill anyone without reason anymore . She never likes killing . Her feelings never die . But she isn't good at expressing them . Oh , when did she start thinking so much ?
She looked around , noticing she was only girl in the ship and nobody looked friendly . Even if there were another girl , it was none of her business . She was used to this atmosphere as she was an assassin . Good , she likes being by herself . Whatever others doing , she doesn't care . Then she saw a blonde … Boy or girl ? Oh , she couldn't believe in herself . Lyra Lilian – a former assassin – was getting confused because of gender matter ! Why didn't she notice that person before . He , must be a HE , because that person doesn't have any curves ( blame her instinct as an assassin for too long ) , was leaning against the rail too . Her eyes widened a bit . The aura around that boy … the look of his green eyes … Deal , he was just like her before . His calm means nothing to her.
She raised her head as she heard someone yell suddenly :
-Captain , wait for us !
-Me too ! Why could you forget ? – The others shouted .
"Those two are extremely loud …" Lyra thought with a grimaced
-Your late . Try again next year – The captain laughed .
The boy suddenly stopped and said to his companion:
-Follow me. I have an idea.
And the boy yanked the guy with his wrist and he jumped, grasping the fishing pole. They jumped, and landed on the boat silently. Well, the boy, but not the man .
Lyra rolled her eyes . It seemed the exam would be interesting . You know , when an assassin considers something as interesting , he/she really likes it , despite only watching . As she noticed , the blond boy was watching them as well . She sighed lightly , turned back to those new ones . The younger one has spiky black hair ,wearing a green jacked with matching green shorts . The other is elder , looked like he was in his late twenty and wore sunglasses and a suit . Oh , when did she start to judge people through their looking ? As a former assassin , she had to have more sharper instinct … Strangely , she enjoyed that feelings somehow .
-Are you ok ,pops ? – The boy asked .
-I'm not pops – The man responded annoyingly – Call me Leorio-san – Oh my god , Lyra really is bad at remembering such long name !
The Captain looked at Leorio and the short boy , muttered
-Look like I'm gonna have some fun until we arrive at Dole this year .
…
Boredom … A state of having nothing to do . Lyra looked around , seeing many people were … training . It was really no need . She closed her eyes , listened the calm waves and tried to find a sleep .. Finally , thanks to the silence .
Not long after her short sleep , something made her open her eyes . She stood up , looked at the sky , claiming her thought . It must be …
The green boy suddenly frowned , announced :
-A storm is coming
-Yeah right – Leorio agreed in tired tone – There is not a single wave
-The wind is getting moist … - The boy continued – And its salty . The Sea Cranes are warning each other too .
-How did you know ? – Not noticing she was talking the first time since she was in the ship , Lyra asked the boy – I think it's because of something like instinct . And then you say you can know what Sea Cranes are saying !
-Instinct ? You know storm is coming thanks to instinct ? – He looked at her surpising . Lyra cursed herself . She shouldn't let it be revealed . She only nodded , not saying anymore .
The Captain suddenly grinned at them , then shouted :
-Men ! Lower the sails !
The sailors hurriedly did what they had been told . Leorio watched the scene as the cloud became darker . Not a second later, a wooden barrel came flying and landed directly in Leorio's face, smashing in the process . Those The smashed tub almost hit the blonde boy, but he avoided them easily , still closing his eyes .
-I'm sorry ! – A sailor said
-Yes , trying to test me with that thing ?
…
Like the boy had warned , a huge storm came The whole ship shook and went up and down. Under deck meanwhile, everyone was rolling from one side to the other, crying for their mommy's or shouting for help.
-Pathetic … - Lyra muttered under her breath , trying to concentrate on her book .
The only ones that weren't faced at all were the little boy, who tried to help the ones that were seasick, Leorio, who was fixing his necktie, the blonde boy, who was sleeping in a hammock .
…
In cabin
She didn't know why those four were called : herself , Leorio , the blonde and the little boy .
The Captain suddenly asked :
-First , tell me your names
-I'm Gon – The green boy exclaimed , introducing himself cheerfully
-My name is Kurapika – The blond boy answered calmly .
-It's Leorio - Leorio said, rather unwillingly
-Lyra Lilian – She said , still not getting used to her new alias .
The Captain asked in serious tone :
-Gon , Kurapika , Leorio , Lyra … why do you want to be a Hunter ?
Leorio countered annoyingly :
-Hey , if you are not examiner , you can't boss it around
-Just answer the question – The Captain calmly stated
Gon smiled , then said :
-My dad is a Hunter . I left Whale Island because I want to know why my dad desired so much to be a Hunter
-Hey – Leorio said – You don't have to answer the question .
-Why can't I ?
-I'm never gonna to tell him
Kurapika said :
-I agree with Leorio .
Leorio's eyebrows twitched as he raised his voice :
-What ? Aren't you younger than I am , show some respect .
-It's quite simple to avoid pesky question – Kurapika ignored him completely – By offering a plausible life .
That was getting Leorio's nerves
-Are you listening to me ?
-However – The blonde boy continued - I think lying is more shameful than being greedy. That said , if I were to tell you the truth , I would be exposing my deepest secrets . That is why I can't answer . My reason is too personal .
-Hey , don't ignore me ! – Leorio shouted
The Captain taking a pull on his pipe:
-In other words , you refuse to answer my question – Damn , that old man haven't asked her yet – Tell the examination board that we have more three dropouts .
Lyra startled as Kurapika and Leorio's eyes widened in shock . She said :
-You haven't asked me yet !
-Your face said you were unwilling to tell me - She gave up ? How can that damn old man know ?
-What do you mean ?
-The Hunter Exam has already begun .
Dead silence .
-As you know, there are tons of people who want to become a Hunter. Unfortunately, the inspectors don't have enough time to examine everyone. So, guys like us are hired to shift through the applicants. Then, except for you four, all the other applicants have been registered as failures for the grand jury. Even if hey can get to the place the exams are held, the door will stay closed to them – The Captain continued to explain – So think carefully before answering my question .
Kurapika was deep in thought .
Leorio sighed in defeat :
-Damn it . I think I'll tell you . I want to be a Hunter because …
Kurapika cut in , finally opened his eyes again :
-I am last survivor of Kuruta Tribe – Silence again … - Four years ago , my clan was annihilated by a band of criminals . I want to be a Hunter to hunt down that band … Genei Ryodan .
Lyra looked at him . That was why she sensed his aura being too familiar . He was just like her before with a tainted heart with hatred .
-Blacklist Hunter , huh ? – The Captain asked - The Genei Ryodan belongs to Class A criminals, even the most skilled Hunter doesn't want to mess with them .You will die meaninglessly .
Kurapika answered seriously :
-I'm not afraid of death . I only fear that my rage will fade away someday – His eyes glew scarlet briefly .
-In other words , you want to revenge – Leorio stated , shrugged his shoulder - You need to be a Hunter for that ?
-May that is the stupidest question I have ever been asked , Leorio – Kurapika still remained his calmness .
-Leorio-san !
-Places accessible only to Hunter , information otherwise unobtainable , action otherwise impossible . There are more reason than your brain can handle – The more Kurapika talked , the more Leorio was annoyed .
Gon interrupted them , yet also calmed Leorio down a bit for changing the topic :
-Hey , Leorio-san . Why do you want to become Hunter ?
-Me ? – Leorio shrugged – I will make it short . I want money ! – His glasses flashed white as he exclaimed – Money can get you everything . A big house, a good car and even woman – He seemed to be in his own wonderland .
Kurapika remarked calmly :
-You can't buy class with money , Leorio .
A vein pop appeared in Leorio's forehead . He said annoyedly :
-It's three times . Step outside . I'll end that the filthy Kuruto bloodline , here and now .
-Take that back , Leorio – Kurapika now was angry .
-That's Leorio-san – Then he stepped outside
-Oh … boy – Lyra sighed – They even don't bother to hear my reason .
-Let them fight 'If you want to know someone, start by finding out what makes him mad'. My aunt said this phrase a lot, From my point of view, both have a good reason to be angry, so let them fight .
Lyra thought of it a bit . Then she walked outside , finding that Kurapika and Leorio already fought . She was stunned . When she was in that ognization , fighting only meaned you had to kill your opponent .
-Take back your words I'll forgive you, Leorio! - Kurapica said.
-You first, Kurapica! I don't intend to take back what I've said! - Leorio said.
Then both of them attacked the other, clashing in the air , not caring the fact that many sailor was hurried because of the storm . One of the sailors tried to fix the mast, but suddenly, the mast was hit by lightning and the sailor named Katsuofell down, being about to fall in the ocean.
Lyra was fast enough to catch the sailor , same as Kurapika , Leorio and Gon . Gon caught his feat , Kurapika caught Gon's , Lyra caught Kurapika's and Leorio caught Lyra's . All of them hang onto each other, trying to pull themselves up.
…
The sky was clear again . Lyra looked at the blue sky , hint of amusement in her blue eyes .
Leorio shouted at Gon :
-You idiot ! How can you be reckless like that ?
-Honestly … it was too foolish – Kurapika said .
Gon grinned :
-But you guys caught me , right ?
Leorio was stunned . Then he managed to say :
-Well , I guess so ..
-I apologize for my bad behavior , Leorio-san – Kurapika smiled .
-What is with that sudden change ? We sound like strangers , just call me Leorio – He waved his hand – I took back what I had said . Eh , did we forget …
-Well – Lyra asked – Your brain finally remembered me , huh ? I haven't said my reason yet … - Silence – Don't be so nervous . I want to be Hunter because I want to find something , only that . And Blacklist Hunter is fine .
-We will be comrades someday – Kurapika said
-Maybe .
Now the Captain laughed and said:
-I like you guys . OK , I'll take you to Dole Island
-Really ? – Gon's face brightened up .
-And … all of four pass .
-Yay ! – Gon jumped in joy as Kurapika and Leorio smiled in relief .
Lyra looked at them , relieved too . But … she couldn't smile . Her feeling never die , yes . But happiness was no longer in her heart
Then it began … the true journey .
