After they've finished the Fourth Phase at the Zevil Island, only nine of the applicants had passed. They're all at the airship right now just waiting if there'll be some announcements or anything. Killua and Gon were watching the view down there from the airship and talked about what happened when they were at the Zevil Island. Killua can see that Gon had injuries and he's wondering what happened to his best friend.

"So, have you got your target's number?" Killua said.

"Actually..." Gon was looking down.

"Haha, you know how Hisoka is, it's really hard to get the number from him. He's just too strong and also violent; you probably kicked the asses of some three guys to get points, right?"

"Don't call Hisoka that way! Look, I got his number." Gon showed Hisoka's number to him.

Killua looked at the number closely and he's actually surprised that Gon got Hisoka's number. For him, it's impossible to get it even if Hisoka was his target he couldn't get the number.

"Eh? How'd you get that?"

"He...gave it to me."

"What do you mean by that?"

Killua couldn't believe about what Gon had just said. He's really confused and he doesn't know what's going on now.

"Hey you two, there's a meeting for the remaining applicants." Kurapika said.

"Kurapika? Since when were you here?" Killua said.

"I just came here," He answered.

"They're probably gonna tell us about the next phase, I'm so excited to hear it!" Gon ran heading at the meeting place.

"Gon, wait for me!" Killua followed Gon.

"Geez, what's taking them so long?" Leorio scratched is head.

After Leorio's complaining for waiting so long, the examiners and the chairman finally came. They congratulated the ones who've passed the phases then they mentioned that the final phase will be in three days so they should just rest on the Hunter Association Hotel.

"W-Wait... What will it be in the final phase?" Leorio asked.

"Hi...mi...tsu..." Netero answered.

"Nani?!" Leorio was upset for not answering his question.

When the examiners and the chairman left, they gathered around together and tried to discuss about the final phase though they don't know what's going to be in it yet. But, there is one who said that he observed something about the phases from first to the fourth then he explained to them about it.

"That means, you know something about the final phase?" Hanzo said.

"You don't get it, do you? There's still one thing that we never tested on any phase." Bodoro said.

"What is it that we never tested?" Leorio asked.

All of them listened to Bodoro closely for them to know about the final phase because it looked like he knows something about it.

"That is the wide range of knowledge for Hunters. Which means that the final phase will be about Hunter Exam!"

Their faces were shocked and they're surprised that they came all this way just for a written exam. Hisoka's card tower was supposed to be done but everything fell down because he's quite surprised of what he heard so he'll have to start all over again.

"I haven't studied in years! How am I gonna know about the answers?" Pokkle said.

"Wait, there's a library on this ship! We could find something to read in there." Hanzo said.

"Yosh! Let's go then." Leorio said.

All of them ran together to head on the library for them to study.


Killua was at the café taking a break and eating some snacks. He's actually bored and he didn't even wanted to study because he just feels like in the written exam, he could already pass in no time. While he sipped his orange juice, he saw Kurapika heading his way to him. Kurapika smiled at him which made Killua blush and sat down on the chair in front of him.

"Killua, why aren't you studying for the exam?" Kurapika asked.

"W-Well...I don't really want to. I think I could handle the exam without studying." Killua's cheeks blushed a little while speaking.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah,"

After Killua finished al of his snacks, he stood up and intends to explore this airship for a while. The last time when they were here at the airship, he was hanging out with Gon for the whole day so he decided to show Kurapika around this time.

"Kurapika," Killua said his name.

"Mm?"

"Do you...want to go around here with me today?" Killua asked as if he was quite embarrased to tell Kurapika about it.

Kurapika noticed Killua's red face then he laughed about it.

"Kawaii..." Kurapika chuckled.

"Shut up...I'm not cute." Killua's face got even hotter and cuter.

Kurapika kept laughing at him so hard and Killua's starting to get mad at him because Kurapika was making fun of him.

"Stop it, Kurapika." Killua said.

"What?" Kurapika stopped laughing and smiled. "You're really cute you know."

Kurapika stood up then he touched Killua's hair and patted it. Killua calmed down then he closed his other eye while the other looking at Kurapika.

"So, do you want to come with me?" Killua asked once more.

"Hai," Kurapika said while a really cute smile on his face.

Kurapika held Killua's hand then they walked together to go around this airship. While they were walking, they heard an announcement that there's going to be an interview so both of them decided to go around later after the interview.


All of the applicants were interviewed except Killua. He's the last person to be interviewed by the chairman so as he got inside, he took a sit and the question started.

"First, why do you want to become a hunter?" Netero asked him.

"Well, I don't really want to become want; I just want to kill some time." Killua answered.

"Did you kill some time?"

"Hmm...the exams were all boring, but the people in here were interesting."

"Which of the applicants do you want to fight the most?"

"Number 44, he's pretty interesting to fight." Killua smirked.

"Then, which of the applicants do you want to fight the least?"

"Number 53. He's not an interesting opponent."

"You're not allowed to lie."

"Hehe, you can tell?" Killua smiled.

"This interview would help me create the final phase. So you should answer honestly or it'll mess up things later."

Killua sighed before answering something.

"I don't want to fight number 405. He's really interesting and I never get bored whenever I'm with him. I also don't want to fight 404 because...it's also great to be with him." Killua was looking down as he spoke.

"Naru hodo... Are you friends?"

"Probably..."

"Well, you're dismissed."

Killua walked out of the door then he saw Gon and Kurapika. He was wondering about the two of them waiting outside the door.

"How was the interview?" Gon asked.

"It was fine..." Killua answered.

"So, you don't want us both to be your opponents, huh?" Kurapika smiled.

"You two were listening?"

"Yep, you never forgot to mention Kurapika's number. He's really important to you, huh?" Gon chuckled.

"Urusai! I-It's not like that. I just don't want to fight him." Killua closed his eyes and crossed his arms while blushing and denying.

Gon and Kurapika laughed at Killua which made him yell at them to keep their mouths shut.

"I think I should go now, you guys probably wanted to have some time for yourselves."

After Gon had left, Kurapika looked at Killua and told him to continue what they're supposed to do already. Both of them walked around the airship and just talked about something. Kurapika usually liked to mess with Killua because he always wanted seeing Killua's embarrassed face. Killua didn't mind being teased like this because he really liked seeing Kurapika's face so happy.

As they continued walking, they made it to the part of the airship that's open and they could feel the air around them. Both of them sat down for a while to enjoy the air and just watch the view that they were looking. Kurapika turned to Killua and smiled at him, and then he suddenly kissed Killua's cheek without saying something. Killua was surprised with that, his face turned completely red then his hands shivered because his intention was to hug the Kurapika.

Killua had no choice about this so he just immediately hugged Kurapika tugging his shirt tightly.

"Kurapika...suki..." Killua said with his face buried on Kurapika's chest.

"Watashi mo Killua wa suki yo." Kurapika stroked Killua's hair. "This is a nice date,"

Killua suddenly released Kurapika because he was confused of what he said.

"Date?"

"Yeah, this is our date right?"

"This is a date, huh?" Killua smirked.

"Don't you think so?"

"No...I never actually thought this could be our date but I had fun."

"Consider this as our first date." Kurapika said.

"Ah..."


Kurapika and Killua were lying in the same bed together with the lights turned off already as if they were sleeping. Killua couldn't really sleep at this time because he's been thinking a lot of things yet he doesn't know what it is all about. Kurapika opened his eyes then he saw Killua still awake, so he turned to him and spoke.

"Can't sleep?" Kurapika asked.

"Not really..."

Kurapika hugged Killua in order to comfort him or probably let him sleep with this way then he closed his eyes for him to go back to sleep. Killua's eyes were starting to close already until he finally slept.

After a few days, they finally arrived to the place where the final phase should be held. All of the applicants were ready; Leorio, Pokkle and Hanzo were too nervous about the written exams but Leorio actually prepared his cheat sheets that he made.

"The final phase will be one-on-one fighting tournament." Netero explained.

"Tournament?" Leorio said.

"I thought it'll be about written exam." Hanzo said.

"Huh? Where did you get that information?" Netero questioned.

Leorio, Hanzo and Pokkle stared at Bodoro because they thought that they were tricked. Bodoro stared away from them like nothing really happened; so Netero removed the cloth and showed the board with brackets and pictures in it.

When they saw a remaining bracket above, they we're surprised.

"What? Only one of us passes?" Leorio said.

Netero laughed but his face still looked serious then he explained it to them that the final bracket shows that only one of them would fail. After that, they explained about the opponents of the applicants in the tournament.

They were given some time to rest and prepare for a battle and after that, the battle finally started. The first match is going to be Hanzo VS Gon, so they positioned themselves at the center to fight.
