Chapter 2: Into The World Of Hunters

Rin's POV:

The Hahara Clan were massacred eighteen years ago. Only Sakura, me, Akira, and Tomo were able to survive. We hid in this temple while Sakura, your mother, tried her best to create a book that will bring us to another world so we can hide from the murderers. Those devils still hunt for us. They want to absorb our powers and the only way to do that is to kill us. When Sakura created the Hunter x Hunter book, she thought we'd be safe then...but she learned that there's no ending and every time it got to the last part that Sakura wrote, it will just go back to the first chapter and it will continue to be like that. How can we live there?

So your mother tried to put an ending but there were too many dangers, so she wasn't able to finish it...

And she told us to pass it to you...

You are Hahara Clan's last hope, Rin.

IMPORTANT!

I, LMK, will be changing the challenges and some events in the original Hunter Exam so we won't get bored while reading because we already know what will happen.

But some events will still be here. I hope you enjoy the new version of the Hunter Exam. ON WITH THE STORY!

I scratched the back of my head when I found myself in a long tunnel.

What chapter was this?

Then a fat man with an evil smirk approached me. "Young lady, the Hunters Exam is starting, you need this juice to give you energy."

He handed that juice and I took it. After looking at it, I threw it and said, "I don't need energy drinks. I was trained since childhood."

With that, I left the man and looked around for people who can help me in this situation.

Oh great.

I knew nothing about this world.

I glanced to the fat man. He was talking to three guys, offering them the same juice he tried to make me drink.

They all dumped him in the end by pouring the juice out and not drinking it.

The man left, disappointed.

Interesting people.

I approached them and put on a friendly smile. They might help me and I can look for the main characters of this stupid story when I already know this world.

"Hello." was all I said.

The kid with spiky black hair smiled innocently. "Hello!"

I took out my hand for the kid to shake. "I am Rin. You?"

"My name's Gon! Nice meeting you, Rin-san!"

I looked over to the other two.

The older man with small eyeglasses (or were they sunglasses?) spoke. "Leorio."

I raised an eyebrow to the blond guy who was the same age as me...I guess.

"I don't give my name to strangers." he said coldly.

"He really doesn't, Rin-chan." the kid, Gon, said. "Right, Kurapika?"

The blond face palmed. Leorio just sweat dropped.

I laughed. "Nice meeting you, Kurapika."

Kurapika looked away while the innocent Gon scratched his head, wondering what he did wrong.

"Uh...can I join you, guys?" I asked.

"B-but you're a girl!" the older man protested.

"What's wrong with being a girl?"

"Girls are fragile." the blondie answered this time. "This is an exam to be Hunters and we will not risk losing just because a fragile, emotional girl joined us."

I smirked. "You'll regret that."

I grabbed his wrist and flipped him over my shoulder. He slammed into the stone pavement. Gon and Leorio's jaws dropped while other people in the tunnel glanced at us.

I put my knee on Kurapika's chest and pushed my forearm against his throat.

I didn't care of what they think. I just need to prove them that Rin Kotoba is different from any other girls out there.

"If you ever insult me again," I said, my voice tight. "I swear that you will not just get judo-flipped."

"Girls are never meant to be Hunters." he said. "But consider me warned."

I rose and helped him to his feet while the other two were still shocked.

"Can I join now, Leorio?" I asked with a smug smile.

"Hey! It's Leorio-san, you – '' he seemed to remember something and he paused, looking at his blond friend. "Yes, you can join us."

"Cool!" Gon beamed.

"Now, come on. Or we will lose the examiner!" Leorio said.

And so we ran, Gon beside Leorio and me beside the blond.

There was a long silence between us so I decided to break it.

"Hey – ''

A white haired boy with skateboard landed next to Gon.

"How old are you?" he asked.

"12." Gon said. "You?"

"Same. I'm Killua."

"Gon! And this is Leorio-san, Kurapika, and Rin-san!"

"Hi!" I waved my hand at him and he raised an eyebrow. Leorio gave him a warning look.

And all five of us ran together, and once again, there was silence between us.

"Why are you here?" I asked Kurapika, mostly to break the silence.

"This is the Hunter Exam and I want to be a Hunter. What reason do you need?"

"What do Hunters do?"

I know that sounded stupid, but I really need to know.

The blond raised an eyebrow. "You don't know? Then why are you here?"

I panicked, thinking of something to say. He would think I'm crazy if I tell him I'm from the real world.

We avoided the people lying on the stairs. "Well, I just ended up here."

He sighed. "We all need to be Hunters and we have different reasons."

"What's your reason?"

"You don't need to know."

"Oh...okay..." I lowered my head.

Killua's POV:

The exam was a big disappointment. I thought it would be fun and challenging but the first phase included of...running.

At least I met Gon. Oh and the others, too.

Then a blonde girl passed by us. She had blue eyes and she was wearing school uniform (see cover picture). She was in a skateboard...like me...

"Hey that's cheating!" Leorio complained.

"No, it's not." Rin said. "Killua did it."

The blonde looked over. "Why's this cheating, Mister?"

"This is supposed to be an endurance test!" the poor man reasoned.

"But no one said that skateboards aren't allowed." Gon said.

"Killua did it but you didn't protest." Kurapika added.

I sighed. They wanted to be Hunters but they were arguing over non sense things.

That's not what Hunters do.

The blonde in pigtails looked over Gon and me. "How old are you, guys?"

"12." Gon and I said in unison.

"Wow, you're awesome." She got off her skateboard. "Guess I'll run, too."

"Oh, cool!"

"I'm Emira."

"Killua." I replied.

"Gon!"

Emira looked at Gon and smiled cheerfully. "Glad I found someone cheerful here!"

"Hey, you forgot about us, Emira." Rin cut off.

The girl looked at the back. "Oh, hi there! I'm Emira."

The three, Kurapika, Leorio, and Rin, sweat dropped.

Oh, so there's Gon's sister. They're both dumb.

Rin seemed to realize the same thing and she just smiled. "Rin. 17."

"Kurapika. 17."

"Leorio. 19."

Leorio's 19?!

"Eh?!" Emira looked at Leorio. "Old man's only nineteen?"

"Hey, who's the old man?!"

"Huh, Leorio? I thought you were twenty-five!" Rin added.

Leorio screamed. "I'm only nineteen!"

Idiots. I face palmed.

We reached the exit and found ourselves in a forest.

The examiner, Satotz, faced us. All of the wanna-be Hunters stopped on their tracks to listen to what the man would say.

"Alright, examinees. This forest will be a maze for you. There will be dead ends and traps so be careful. If you reach the exit, we'll go to the next phase. The fog also makes this phase hard so you gotta have great senses. Follow me and if you lose me, you have a great chance to die."

Now this is what I'm talking about.

Emira's POV:

We tried to follow the examiner but it was impossible because of the fog.

I couldn't even see Gon and the others.

"Hey, Rin-chan. What's your Nen type?" I asked her.

"Nen?"

"Yes."

"Wait," Kurapika's voice spoke this time. "Rin, don't tell me you can't use Nen?"

"I don't even know that." Rin replied, obviously confused.

"Maybe she hasn't discovered yet?" Killua said.

I tried to look at Rin-chan. "How can you survive the Exam if you can't use Nen?"

Someone cleared his throat. It was a warning.

I heard Rin laugh. "I don't need special powers to get through this. I just need strength and quick wits."

"For now, let's focus on staying alive, shall we?" Kurapika-kun said.

"Hey, Killua-kun. Where are you?" I called out.

"Here." I heard a voice beside me.

"Where's Gon?"

"I'm here, Emira-san!" the owner of the voice was also beside me, but at my left.

"Are you all okay, guys?"

"We're alright." the other three at the back said.

We were running blindly through the fog when we heard Rin scream. "Ahh!"

Then the screaming was gone.

"Kurapika, Leorio-san, where's Rin-chan?" I asked, panicked.

"S-she's not here." Leorio stuttered.

"Let's go find her!" Gon said.

"We will lose the examiner!" Kurapika protested.

"We already did!" I yelled. "A person's life is far more important than passing this Exam! You go, Kurapika, and chicken out. I'm going to find Rin!"

I stomped my foot and walked off. Someone ran beside me.

"If you're here because of pity, you better – ''

"No," Kurapika's voice cut me off. "You're right. We should find Rin."

I calmed down. "Sorry for yelling at you, Kurapika-kun."

Even though we can barely see anything because of the fog, I knew that he smiled. "It's alright."

"Hey, Killua found this." Leorio handed me a brown backpack.

"Isn't this...?" I looked at Killua.

He nodded. "Yes. Rin's backpack."

"Where did you find this?"

He pointed down.

And suddenly the soil cracked open and swallowed us four.

"Ahh!" I screamed while we slid down.

I closed my eyes and we landed on my butt and when I opened my eyes, I found myself alone in an empty room with no window or door.

There were torches around so the room was lit but I wondered where the others were.

Great, now I'm all alone.

Rin's POV:

"Hello?" I called out even I knew that no one could hear. I was alone in an empty room without a door or windows. Just great.

Mother was so weird to create such a world.

I wish I had a manual to navigate this...world.

She wasn't able to finish it because...there were too many obstacles.

Oh, and Nezera forgot to tell her what those obstacles were. Great.

I sat on the cold stone floor and tried to think of a plan.

I just need strength and quick wits.

Oh, joy. I was so stupid to say that.

The others got their powers while I'm stuck here...with only my strength and wits.

"Rin..." a voice echoed through the room.

I stood up, cautious. "W-who's there?"

"Rin..."

Then little black creatures appeared on the walls and the floor, all approaching me. "SPIDERS!"

I stood there, frozen. I hate myself. I was still scared of those tiny creatures.

I gulped, backing away. I sat down again and hugged my knees, sobbing.

I felt myself shaking in fear and I heard a crack on the ceiling.

Great, more spiders.

Something heavy landed on the floor but I didn't dare look.

I hugged my knees tighter and I can feel the spiders approaching me. They set my nerves on edge. Here's the black sea of creepy-crawlies.

Then something touched her arm and she yelped.

"Hey, it's fine."

It was Killua's voice.

I slowly looked up. "K-Killua...?"

He offered his hand and I accepted it. I stood up and drew a heavy breath.

I found the hairy, tiny creatures all lying on the floor, dead.

"Y-you killed them...all?" I asked, a bit impressed.

The white haired boy grinned. "Don't get awestruck there."

I realized that he came to help me and I smiled. "Thank you."

He turned his back and said, "Don't thank me."

"Huh?"

"Thank Emira." he replied. "She convinced us to search for you."

"Where are the others?"

"We split up." he glanced over his shoulder. "Come on. Let's get out of here."

Emira's POV:

I tried to break the walls but I ended up lying on the floor, exhausted.

Oh damn this.

I opened Rin's backpack for some water when I saw her phone.

I took it out and was about to open it when I decided not to.

It was not nice to look into other people's things.

Then I stood up, brushing away the dust on my skirt.

I punched the wall again and did what I did the last time but after what seemed like hours, I was tired and there wasn't even a dent on the wall.

I breathed deeply. I closed my eyes to sleep when I heard the ceiling broke and something landed next to me.

I opened my eyes to see Kurapika, smiling down at me.

Gon was beside him. The boy with spiky black hair offered his hand to help me up and I took it.

When I was already standing, I looked at both of them. "Hey, where are the others?"

"We don't know." Kurapika said.

"Let's go, Emira-san, let's find them."

I looked around. "Uh...where will we exit?"

Kurapika looked at the broken ceiling and pointed up there.

"We're going to climb all the way to the top?"

Gon and Kurapika nodded.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

"Gon, you go first." Kurapika said.

"Hai."

The boy did and I was next. I jumped up and found something to hold on to.

But then my hand felt pain and was not able to hold on.

I fell and closed my eyes and when I opened them, I saw Kurapika carrying me.

"Thanks." I said.

He saw my hand and he shook his head. "Come on. I will carry you until we get to the top."

"No! I can do it my – ''

But he put me on his back and he jumped up the ceiling.

Killua's POV:

We jumped up the ceiling until we reached the top.

The soil cracked open and Rin and I jumped up.

"Yes!" Rin squealed. "We made it! Thanks, Killua!"

She kissed me on the cheek.

I felt myself heating up because of this. "Hey!"

She chuckled. "You're so cute when you're flustered!"

"But where are the others?" I asked, hoping to get off the topic.

"The fog subsided. That's weird."

Then the soil trembled and I grabbed Rin out of the way.

The soil cracked open – again – and it revealed Gon, Kurapika , and Emira.

Leorio followed.

"Guys!" Rin ran towards them and I did the same.

She stopped on her tracks when she saw Emira carried by Kurapika.

Rin had a mischievous smirk. "Aww, you look like a knight in shining armor, Kurapika!"

The blond glared at her. He brought Emira down and Leorio broke into a grin.

"So I was alone while you guys had your moment down there."

We all groaned except Gon who was wondering about the meaning of Leorio's words.

The annoying man chuckled. "You kids are going all out without Uncle Leorio, huh?"

Emira rolled her eyes. "I don't understand a thing you're saying, Leorio."

I sighed. "Let's just go. We would be able to catch up if we go fast."

I noticed Rin talking to Emira. Rin got her backpack and said something to the blonde.

I smiled at the sight.

Kurapika's POV:

We ran towards the fog because Rin said that if the fog was part of the Exam to make it harder, then the fog must be following the examinees.

I thought the same way as her and it surprised me.

I ran beside Emira. "How's your hand?"

She smiled. "Just fine."

I nodded.

Then I noticed Killua and Rin talking and they seemed serious.

After, Killua ran beside Gon while Rin led us.

"Emira, I'll run ahead."

"Sure."

The violet-haired girl looked at me in confusion.

"Why?" I asked, not looking at her.

"I don't need pity."

"I don't feel pity to anyone." I countered, still not looking at her.

"I want to be alone."

"But then you joined us."

She glared at me. "Why don't you just go?"

"..."

She sighed, exasperated. "Fine."

"What did Killua tell you?"

"None of your business, Blondie."

I decided to shut my mouth.

The fog got thicker but eventually it subsided and we found ourselves with the other examinees and the examiner, Satotz.

We were facing a large – and I mean large – gate and we all groaned.

"Congratulations, Examinees. You are now going to the Second Phase of the Exam." Satotz announced. "Sadly, some did not make it. But let's move forward."

The gate opened, and the Examinees clapped their hands in delight.

I glanced at Rin who was trembling even though no one noticed except me.

Her eyes held fear. Was she afraid she'd fail this Phase?

I was about to go to her when Killua did it first. I stopped and walked back to Emira who was talking to Gon.

"Examinees, you can now go to the Second Phase."

Alright, it's starting.
