BP: Kind of disappointed at the number of reviews, but I am not giving up….I think. Do enjoy this chapter, and review after that! I am also depressed over my Cs for my National Exam….
"Come out, whoever you are!" Hessu shouted.
She heard footsteps, and they were surrounded in a circle by twenty people. All of them were girls, though the Trix are not among them, and their Star Rank is No-Star or Single Star. She noted that their aura seemed weak. 'They must have taken safety in numbers.' Hessu thought warily.
"You three really think you have a chance against the Special Star boys?" One of them laughed. "Sitting with them at breakfast, and flirting with them. It's sickening." She hissed the last sentence. She took out a knife. "If we kill you right here and now, we wouldn't need to deal with pests like you again, so we can sit with them."
Ryoma watched as they took out weapons as well. Obviously, they neglected training and studies to take care of their appearances. Why else would they choose lesson time to attack them?
"They are aiming to kill." Hessu said out of the corner of her mouth.
"Ready, girls?" the girls nodded. "Get them!" At the same time, the trio also attacked with their new Nen techniques.
Ryoma later cleaned up the blood and the corpses at the 'crime scene' with Blinky. They missed History, so they decided to head up to Towa's room for dinner and movies after Ryoma has cleared up the evidences. Technically, they can go scot-free for killing (because they're Hunters. Also, this school has a contract that says if the student is killed or badly injured during their time in the school, the school would not be responsible, but they would pay for the funeral. They are here, so they must've signed the contract and got their parents to countersign it. Besides, the girls were the one who initiated the fight and suggested that they fight to the death), but Ryoma did not wish for the faint-hearted to discover at least 20 corpses when they walk by. He knew how they would feel because he felt that when discovered his parents' blood and corpse for the first time. Now, he is used to it, but he never forgot the horror he felt.
"Do you think they'll notice that 20 girls are missing from the school?" Towa asked his friends.
"Nah. It wasn't even a big loss. They were really weak, for someone who isn't a first year." Hessu said nonchalantly, as Ryoma finished cleaning up the last of the blood, and dispelled his weapon, and then they headed towards the lobby, and Ryoma pressed the button to their floor. Once they reached the floor, they headed towards Towa's room.
Dinner that night was totally fun. They ordered steak with French fires, a cold soup of pureed vegetables, fish cakes with creamy lime paste, those little birds filled with orange sauce, with wild rice and watercress. For dessert, they had chocolate custard dotted with cherries. They sat down in front of the TV and watched the Harry Potter marathon. Ryoma mused that Hogwarts should have a Training Center as well to improve their spell work and not just practice on your own and reading the theory. As if studying the theory hard enough would help if you never practiced.
Training the next day is at the last period. The training started like the last time, and this time, the trio went to the Specialization Station. They thought Towa couldn't use any Nen techniques that are under the Specialization category, until they discovered that when he uses Scarlet Anger, he becomes a Specialist. He activates this when he feels extreme emotion, specifically anger, but now he can tap into its powers at will. First discovered when his friends and boyfriend turned against him. The downside is when he is in Scarlet Anger, he can't use Appearance Manipulation, so he would be easily discovered if Mikado comes over to this station. When he is in Scarlet Anger, his eyes turn blood red and his aura also turn red, and increase tenfold. Those using En would be horrified by his terrifying aura.
"Specialization is anything that doesn't belong into the other five categories. This is of course, the vaguest Hatsu category. Specialists have their own unique techniques. It can be anything really. For example, Worthington's specialization ability is unique, as it seems she uses only the abilities of Conjurer and Manipulator out of any of the other five Hatsu types. Ryoma's Specialization technique includes Conjuration, Emission and Manipulation. So, just think up of any Nen techniques you think may be useful to you."
Hessu finally mastered a new technique called Doctor Blythe, which is developed by her wish to heal people that are very critically injured. Doctor Blythe is a giant doll conjured by her, and can surgically treat severely damaged areas of the body. It cannot move from the position which it is initially summoned and is connected to Hessu's chain at her thumb, limiting her radius of movement to 10 meters while the ability is active. She also can use Memory Bomb, where she has the ability to share her memories by shooting them into another person's head using a revolver and conjured Nen Bullets called Memory Bombs. This is not a combat ability and does no damage. However if she shoots someone with a memory of their own, said memory is erased indefinitely.
Meanwhile, Ryoma can use a Nen technique called Silent Confusion. All he needed to do was to look in a person's eyes to trap them into an illusion where they would be tortured. Physically, the target would be ok, but mentally, they are in chaos. It is very powerful to the point that he can put a person into a comatose state, and can kill the person while the target is immobilized. He can also use Skilled Mist, where he uses his aura to create a cloud of mist which he releases from his mouth. This mist has extremely corrosive properties, capable of melting even Hessu's Force Field (a Legacy, not a Nen technique).
Towa used his natural manipulation of paper to create a new technique called Paper Clone, where he mixes Conjuration and Manipulation. This takes advantage of his ability to create and manipulate paper. By infusing his Nen aura into paper, he can shape it into a perfect replica of himself that he can control remotely. When the clone is hit, it merely collapses back into sheets of paper. However, if he wants the opponent to believe that the clone is the real him, all he needed to do is to smear his own blood onto the clone, and the clone would bleed instead of disperse if stabbed. It will only disperse if he cancels the technique.
This technique is made stronger using Emperor Time, where it makes use of his Scarlet Anger ability. This ability allows him to utilize all the types of Nen to 100% efficiency (for a Manipulator).
After testing their new techniques against dummies, they then went to the Transmutation station.
"Now, an affinity for Transmutation means a person can change the properties of their aura to mimic something else. Similar to Emission, things created via Transmutation are pure aura. Transmutation is often mistaken with Conjuration due to their similarities. A simple way of thinking about it would be that Transmutation allows your aura to mimic properties of a substance, whereas Conjuration allows you to change your aura into actual substances. Transmuters can copy the properties of real things." The trainer said. "Now, concentrate on what you want your aura to mimic."
Ryoma can use another technique called Bungee Gum, where he can alter his aura's consistency into an incredibly sticky substance somewhat akin to bubble gum, albeit much stronger. It can be used to pull opponents within punching range for a flurry of rebound pummels. Bungee Gum can both stretch and contract, depending on what Ryoma desires. It can be attached either by pointing at his target or through direct physical contact. Additionally, Bungee Gum can also be used to cover a greater area by molding it into a sheet rather than a string. It is so reliable and durable that it can act as a shield against attacks or as a means to return them to their original caster. Ryoma can conceal Bungee Gum using In, thus it cannot be seen unless his opponent uses Gyo. However, even if an opponent uses Gyo, it is still almost impossible to avoid, as Ryoma can simply attach Bungee Gum (on his fist) while hitting his opponent.
Hessu can use Nen stitches, where she is capable of creating threads which can be lengthened without limit and can only be seen by using Gyo out of her aura. These threads can be used to sew open wounds and even to completely reattach severed limbs in a short time. She also can use her Nen Threads to manipulate her target's movements with considerable accuracy using the threads like a puppeteer. She can also use them to capture, strangle or cut enemies. The strength of the threads is inversely proportional to their length: a thread as long as the Earth's diameter would be as strong as cotton, but a one-meter long thread could lift a ton.
Towa discovered a new technique called Pain Packer which is activated by his own rage; he will use this when angered or as a last resort. Towa uses his aura to conjure a protective armor around himself. From there, he'll use Rising Sun, where all of the wounds and injuries he has received in battle are transmuted into scorching heat and emitted into the air. The emitted aura then transmutes into a miniature sun that burns the victim to death; the more damage received, the hotter the fire. Rising Sun has a very large attack radius, and while Towa is within his armor he will not be harmed by the fire. He deactivated his Scarlet Anger, and felt rather tired. He knew those techniques can only be used when he uses Scarlet Anger. He was afraid of the high range of the technique, so he dared not use it while training.
Hessu later gave Towa something from her Loric Chest. It's a bracelet, that when someone can activate using Nen aura. When activated, a large clock with arms that move as the user is damaged appears. When enough damage is sustained, the weapon gives the user a huge increase in Nen aura. Which meant Towa would be able to last longer in Scarlet Anger. Towa hugged her in thanks.
After training, the trio as usual, went back to their room to order dinner to avoid the crowd in the cafeteria.
Meanwhile, the third-years went to look for Fuji, who had disappeared somewhere. They heard voices in the television room. They went in and found Fuji. Beside him on the couch was the box the Hunter Examiner Committee had sent of tapes of the old Hunter Exams. They recognized the episode in which only the rookies passed that year.
Fuji flipped off the TV when he saw them. "Hey, training's over?"
Atobe nodded. "Yeah, so what are you doing here?"
"Oh I heard they sent more tapes of some of the Hunter Exams, so I thought I'd watch and see how they work."
"Sounds interesting." Sanada said. "Who's next?"
"You pick." said Fuji, holding out the box.
The tapes were marked with the nth Hunter Exam and the names of those who passed. Atobe dug around and found one that was quite recent, in fact, it was last year's Hunter Exam. The names of the people who passed are Towa Aikawa, Ryoma Echizen and Hessu Worthington. There was a side note that said there were only 4 phrases that year because only three of them survived the arena at the fourth stage.
"Hey, I wondered why there are only four stages last year. I recognize 2 of the names, but I don't recognize the third one." He passed around the tape.
"Towa Aikawa?" Mikado looked at the name on the tape.
"Why, you know him, Shirahane?" Atobe said.
"Yes, actually. Yuki knows him too. Towa and I used to be lovers back in junior high. But a girl found out about our secret relationship, and posted altered photos of Towa kissing other boys. That got me angry, and didn't listen to his side of the story, and even Towa's childhood friend turned against him. When I found out the truth, I went to his house to reconcile with him and apologize to him, hoping he could forgive me, but his brothers told me he has disappeared, and he never said where he was going. I'm still regretting that up until now, I never got to tell him how sorry I am." He looked at the tape. "At least, this tells me he's still out there. I'm going to find him, and once I do, I'm never letting go."
"Yeah, I'm guilty as well." Shuji mumbled. "I should have listened to him. Aikawa's never good at lying."
Fuji smiled, and he placed the tape, and they lost themselves into last year's Hunter Exam.
The first stage was a test of stamina. The examiner tested the said factor leading them on a marathon of initially unknown length through an underground tunnel. Though he seems only to move his legs at a fast walking pace, the examinees are forced to run faster and faster to keep up with his speed. The camera, however, focused on the three examinees that passed the Exam.
"Hey!" Hessu greeted the boy next to him. "I'm Hessu!" Hessu seemed to be carrying a backpack.
"I'm Ryoma." the boy beside her greeted the boy.
"Towa." The boy said tonelessly. He had brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing very short shorts and a casual T-shirt. He was also wearing a vest. He is adorable, and sexy-looking.
"Then, I'll call you To-chan!" Hessu declared.
Towa sighed.
"I can feel it, you know."
"Feel what?"
"Your sadness, your hatred…you have been betrayed by the ones you love and trust."
"How did you-"
Hessu laughed. "Relax, that's one of my Legacies. I'm actually a Garde from Lorien. Sensior allows me to detect your feelings, and even manipulate them."
"I see."
"That sounds cool, an alien from Lorien. Did you notice that the examiner is still walking and yet we're forced to run faster?" Ryoma asked.
"Yeah, I know. Some of us have already dropped out." Towa nodded to those that stopped because they were tired. He looked down. "Is flight one of your Legacies too?" He noticed that Hessu's feet are not touching the ground.
"Yeah."
"By the way, why did you run at the back?" Ryoma asked.
Towa gave him a deadpan look. "To make sure that those examinees doesn't look at my ass again. I ran in the middle, and when I turned around, those behind me are staring at it."
The other two nodded at his explanation.
The first stage ended when they reached the place where the second stage would be held (some candidates got killed because of the dangerous animals and traps that were there) , and the second stage commenced.
The second stage for the first round was to hunt down any wild pig in the nearby forest, and bring it back to the examiner roasted and ready to eat. The only type of wild pig in the forest turned out to be the great stamp, a giant horned boar twice as tall as a human.
Towa sighed, before throwing a Nen-infused knife he hid at his vest at the boar's heart, and killing it. He created a fire roasted it easily, and passed the test.
Ryoma used his first Nen technique to fry the boar, and cut out the meat for the examiner. He passed as well.
Hessu, meanwhile, used her Legacy to create a bolt that fried the boar instantly and passed the test after cutting out the meat.
The second one was trickier. Her exam topic was to prepare a piece of sushi for her to taste. If it met up to her stringent expectations, the candidate would pass. Hessu smiled as she read the examiner's mind as to what sushi is, and passed the information to the other two. The three of them collaborated to make the sushi together, using Towa's cooking skills, and finally presented it to the examiner. The examiner liked it and they automatically passed. They then sat and watched and openly laughed at the other examinees' idea of sushi. At the end, only three passed. However, the Head Examiner convinced her to make another exam, since she is too picky, and she didn't even taste most of the samples given to her due to their shapes. She agreed, but since the three passed already, they didn't have to participate. Thus her new test was changed to simply boiling an egg, after retrieving it from the web of a spider eagle, which hung from the walls of a mile deep canyon. The three got to taste the egg, which was quite delicious.
The third stage was the Trick Tower, and one must get to the bottom within 72 hours. The three of them were in a group together, after they fell through the secret doors. It looked like they had to reach their goal following the majority's choice. They took the watches provided for them, and started running towards the door that was opened for them. They pressed O for all, opening the doors that they reached as they ran.
"Ok guys, left or right?" Ryoma asked.
"Right." They pressed the O button, and they were led into what looked like an arena.
"Do not show any emotion, guys. I am sure they have a camera tracking us, and unless there's some fight going on, we're being featured." Ryoma said. They watched as three prisoners, their faces covered with hoods, walked into the open at the other side.
One of them got untied, and removed his hood. It was a scarred man with a scruffy beard. "We are the jurors of the trial commission. Our mission is to fight against you. The matches are one on one and the order of the passage is free. You must have at least 2 victories if you want to pass." said the man. "The rules are simple. Everything is allowed, and there is no time limit. The defeat of one means the victory of another. Do you accept this? O for yes, and X for no."
The three looked at one another and pressed O.
"I'm the first one up." said the man. "Choose now!"
"Hey, what are you imprisoned for? We'll choose depend on your crimes." Ryoma shouted.
"Me? I've been imprisoned for 120 years for kidnapping, rape and molest of children. I've kept a few children for many years, separated from their friends and family. I'm Takeda, by the way."
"I'll go first." Towa cut in. the passage connected to where he is, and he walked down to the center of the hall.
"Wow, it'll be worth it to be gay if I could do an adorable thing like you. You're one sexy guy." Takeda commented. "I'm not even sure about your actual gender."
Towa laughed. "I get that all the time. True, I do look like a girl if I wear girl's clothes. Tell you what, if you win, I'll let you confirm my gender."
"How?"
"I'll let you explore my body until you're satisfied, Takeda. Maybe I'll let you have me as well."
"I'm definitely in."
"Good. We will fight. First person to say I surrender loses."
"You got it."
Towa swiftly dodged the man's punches, and gave him a kiss on the lips.
Towa licked his lips seductively.
"What can I do for you, master?" Takeda knelt on the ground and looked at Towa like a love-struck puppy.
"Surrender your match." Towa simply replied.
"Yes, I surrender!" Takeda announced.
"That's one-zero." The screen above his friends now said 1. "That was too easy."
He walked back towards his friends. "What was that?" Ryoma said.
"Instant Lover. One of the techniques I can use naturally. I have the ability to make one a slave for 300 minutes by kissing a person of either gender. The person being my slave will do anything for me as long as they're under my manipulation. It's irresistible."
"You're a Manipulator?"
"Yup. Let's see who's next."
A medium sized person walked forward, and removed his hood. "I'll go next" Ryoma said. He walked forward, and looked up at the man.
"He's probably a thief, and a serial bomber." Towa observed.
The man proposed a fight to the death, and Ryoma killed him quickly using his Nen technique, which apparently evaporates the water in the person's body, leaving them in a mummified state. "He's most likely a Specialist." Towa observed.
"That's two for us. Shall we try the third person? I know you're supposed to slow us down, maybe third time's a charm." Ryoma announced.
Hessu also managed to kill the third person, simply by ripping out his heart and crushing, despite him being more muscular and taller than her, and being a serial murderer and all. The remaining one looked shocked (and love-struck) as he pointed to the door behind him, and they moved on.
They came across various obstacles, and even got chased down by a boulder rolling towards them. That's when Hessu discovered a new Legacy- Telekinesis. She managed to slow the boulder down (although not stop it completely) and they managed to escape to the staircase.
They came across two doors, that said, the O takes 45 hours to get to the bottom, but all three can pass. The X is a much easier path, only three minutes, but only two can pass. The third person must be chained up so that the door would open. That person would stay there until time's over. Towa thought about it, looked around at the weapons, and convinced his friends to choose O. They did, and the door opened. However, Towa took an axe, and said they could sneak into the easier path, since they are adjacent. Hessu pushed him aside, and stomped her foot, and immediately, the ground shook and the walls crumbled, and fell apart. They put down their weapons, and slid down, each of them screaming in fear, and finally landed on the floor. They were one of the first to get to the bottom of the tower.
Finally, they cut to the fourth and final stage. Each of them has to pick their target from the box. The trio picked a card, and Hessu read each of the contestant's minds to find out who is hunting them and who their targets are, and she passed on the information. They agreed to put their badges into Hessu's backpack, which contained her Loric Chest. The Chest cannot be opened by anyone but her.
Apparently, they are supposed to steal the badge form their target. Their target's badge contains 3 points, and their own badge is 3 points as well. Any others are one point. To pass, they need 6 points. They have 1 week to get the required points. They were transported to the arena by ship. They had to leave in order of their arrival in the Trick Tower, so Towa left first. 2 minutes later, Ryoma left. Another 2 minutes later, Hessu followed.
The arena was the most breathtaking place imaginable. There was a sweet-smelling green meadow, and the sky was azure blue, with fluffy, billowing white clouds. The meadow stretched for miles, and far in the distance there were woods on one side, and a snow-capped mountain on the other. Various plants and trees were growing in the woods, and there were fruits growing in the trees.
They watched as Hessu turned invisible so that she would throw her follower off track, and then they focused on Ryoma, who chose to hide and monitor the others while looking for his friends. He killed the person following him before taking his badge, although it wasn't his target's badge.
1 day in, the mountain turned out to be a volcano wiping out another few participants. Towa searched the dead bodies, and found the badge he was looking for. He took his target's badge, and put it into his pocket. He left the other badges behind since he trusted Hessu to keep on to his badge.
He took out the paper dolls he made of Hessu and Ryoma. He couldn't hear anything from Hessu, so he knew she was hiding, and so far, no one found her. He heard Ryoma kill the man following him, and took his badge despite not being his target's.
"Look who's here! A kid?" A man with a steel rope as a weapon came up. Towa looked at his hunter. He knew that he was that man's target, from Hessu's information.
"Hey, girl, come over here. Maybe we can have some fun." The man winked at him.
"I refuse." Towa said flatly.
"Rejected….then, I'll come to you." The man laughed.
Towa sighed, before taking out his paper fan and throwing some confetti, which floated around him. "I'm in a hurry right now…Wind!" He manipulated the wind with his fan to get the confetti to stick, only to fall off. The man laughed. "That didn't even tickle!"
Towa then surrounded him with more paper, which this time, one of the confetti stuck. The man laughed at his stupidity, and threw the steel rope at him, which Towa easily cut into pieces.
"Impossible! It's made of steel!" the man cried.
"My fan is made of paper." He then sent a concentrated amount of confetti, and aimed it at the single confetti at the man's elbow, severing his arm. The man screamed in pain.
"Next, would be your right arm." Towa smirked.
After severing both his arms and legs, Towa smiled. He jumped up and wielding two fans, he spun in the air and created a tornado with his fans, and sent a concentrated wind cutter at the man's chest, severing his heart into many pieces. The man coughed out blood, and died an agonizing death.
"I call it the Dance of the Heartbreak." Towa commented, looking at the dissected body of the man. "Now to find Hessu and Ryoma." He walked away. Later that day, he beheaded some others with his fan, because they were struck by his cute and sexy appearance, and some even stared at his legs or ass. Obviously, they liked what they saw. Other times, he used his Instant Lover to get his adversaries to fight to the death among themselves, while he watched.
On day 3, Hessu killed 9 of the people, apparently fighting in a group, her target among them. It looks like her hunter is among them as well. She took all of their badges, and was delighted to find that her target still had his badge. She took the badge, and used her Flight Legacy to scale the arena to find Towa and Ryoma.
Meanwhile, Towa heard an agonizing scream. "Mikado!" he cried, and ran towards the direction of the scream, towards the volcano, which looked like it was about to erupt again. Another scream. "Ku-nii?" A third scream. "Hisa-nii?!" He ran faster towards the volcano. Just then, he was held down by telekinesis. "What are you doing, Hes-chan? Mikado and my brothers' in danger! I have to-" He was cut off by a slap to the face.
"Calm down, To-chan. That was just the Examiners trying to trick you. They won't do anything to your loved ones." Just then, the volcano erupted again. "Anyway, if you do run towards the scream, you would have died! Snap out of it. And who the hell is Mikado anyway?" As she said this, she took Towa's target's badge, and placed it in her Chest, locking it again.
"How's it going?" Ryoma asked, taking a badge from the dead woman.
"Woah. What did she do?" Hessu asked.
"Tried to kill me with a poison dart." Ryoma replied simply.
"So, who is he?" Hessu persisted.
"What?" Ryoma asked
"He was screaming Mikado's name as he ran towards the volcano." Hessu said.
"Mikado and I used to be lovers back in junior high." Towa explained, as they walked along the woods. "But a girl found out about our secret relationship, and posted altered photos of me kissing other boys. That got Mikado angry, and didn't listen to my side of the story, and even my childhood friend turned against him. I got so upset that day for being publicly humiliated, and angry that I lost my friends and boyfriend, I accidentally discovered Scarlet Anger, and my Nen aura went out of control, destroying things. I was afraid of what his brothers would say if they find out, so I ran away from home, and had been training my Nen at the Heavens Arena under my teacher. When I managed to master my Nen, I thought I'd go for something bigger, so I entered the Hunter Exam, and that's where I met the both of you." Towa laughed bitterly.
"So what happened to the girl that ruined your relationship?" Hessu asked. "I'm sure you'd want some revenge for that."
"Oh, of course I did. I tracked her down, and took her somewhere, tortured and killed her with my newly discovered Scarlet Anger. She wasn't recognizable when I'm done. They still can't find her body, because I turned her into ashes." Towa said with vengeance.
"How far did you guys go?" Ryoma asked. "I mean, your relationship?"
Towa blushed at that statement, and they immediately knew the answer, so Ryoma said, "Never mind. I guess I can tell you a little about myself as well. My parents were dead at the age of 10, killed by my father's tennis rival in front of my eyes. He tried to attack me, but I discovered a Nen technique that dries up the water in the body. I've been on the run ever since, and when I heard about the Hunter Exam, I thought I'd take it for fun." Ryoma said bitterly.
"My mother is a sorceress." She hesitated. "My father was a professional assassin back on Earth, and my mother happened to be travelling here, so they met, fell in love and married in Lorien. Since my father was a professional assassin, I was trained from young to be resistant towards electricity, poison and pain; I also had…lessons at the same time. When they knew I had my Legacies and I can use at least 1 Nen technique naturally, they sent me here for the Hunter Exam and Nen Academy, I won't be able to return home until I've passed the Hunter Exam and graduate from Nen Academy. Why don't you two come with me after we passed the Exam? Then after that, I'll introduce you to my home." The third years knew Hessu was hiding something from her friends.
"Sure." The boys said. "It sounds like fun, the three of us together."
"Together." Hessu confirmed.
"And let's promise never to betray one another, and always believe in one another." said Ryoma.
"Definitely." The other two said in unison.
They smiled at one another as the week ended and they walked back to the starting point. Surprisingly, they were the only three that passed. Apparently, the three of them and the volcano had killed the rest of the examinees. They looked at one another, as the Head Examiner announced that they had passed the Exam.
Fuji clicked the TV off, and looked at his fellow third years.
"That…was intense." Atobe managed to choke out.
"Those first years are much more talented than us." Yukimura commented. "They had passed the Hunter Exam even before coming here."
"The funny thing is did you notice that we didn't see the third person, although we know he has accepted Hessu's invitation to come with her?" Fuji replied.
"I think he knows Mikado and his former friends are here, so he's hiding from them. He's pretty smart to be able to evade us." Tezuka pointed out.
"I say we go look for them for answers." Fuji said. The rest nodded, as they got up and went back to the dorms.
"Not bad. We could do this every night." Ryoma finished his steak while watching a horror movie called Carrie. "I think the movie should be scarier. We've seen scarier things than that. I'm going out for a walk."
The third years saw Ryoma come out, and Atobe stopped them. "I'll go talk to him. You guys question the other two." They nodded, and Atobe followed Ryoma.
Hessu was washing the dishes with telekinesis, while Towa was doing his homework, when there was a knock on the door.
"Hes-chan, check who it is." Towa said, not looking up from his homework.
Hessu used her Legacy. "Uh-oh. It's the third years. They know about you, To-chan. They've watched the tapes of our Hunter Exam. Are you going to put on your disguise?"
Towa shook his head. "I can't use my Appearance Manipulation for three days whenever I use my Scarlet Anger."
Hessu simply threw him a cookie and said, "Eat this and change into one of my dresses."
Hessu walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
BP: Yeah, yeah, bad because I had 10 minutes, was depressed and had writer's block. Do review, though!
