Hunter X Hunter does not belong to me.

Chapter 7

One week later~

"Six of the nine are rookies?" Netero said laughing at the fourth exam results.

"Isaac-san! You forgot about me!" Ame pouted at his forgetfulness.

"Oh hoho su man su man~" Netero said not really feeling bad about it. (my bad my bad = su man su man)

"Has this ever happened before?" Buhara asked while stuffing himself with food.

"Hmmm, there's a trend where we'll go many years without a single rookie qualifying. Then suddenly, we'll have a bunch of promising newbies. This is the fourth time I've seen it happen." Netero remarked happily.

"By the way, what are we doing for the Final Phase?" Satotz asked the chairman.

"Yes, about that... Oh I almost forgot. Ame-chan, you'll have to leave the room for this. We can't have you knowing about the Final Exam." Netero said. The examiners all forgot she was an applicant for the duration of the week, and felt ashamed they almost told her about the test.

"Ah that's true. I forgot sorry. I'll go now. hehe See you all during the Final Exam... I think." Ame said as she left the room.

".. Now as I was saying. I intend to have them participate in a rather peculiar fight." Netero said in a very serious tone.

"Hmm? A rather peculiar fight?" Satotz asked.

"First, I want to talk with the remaining '10' participants." Netero said.

"#58" Beans voice said on the speaker.

"Isaac-san? Why are we doing an interview?" She asked the elderly man sitting.

"I can not tell you that, but it is involved with the Final Exam." He said placing emphasis on 'is'.

"Ooh really!? Okay. What are the questions?" She said impatiently wanting to get to the Final Exam.

"Haha. Well then which of the other nine applicants are you keeping an eye on?" Netero asked while rubbing his beard.

"Hmm... #403, 404, 405, and 99 because their all, so cute! Oh and also Hisoka. He's nice." She said with an innocent smile.

"Alright then which of the nine applicants would you least want to fight?" Netero asked with the brush in his hand.

"Same people, but for different reasons. The first four because their so cute. But also Hisoka because if I fight with him I think something really bad might happen." She said with no malice.

''Alright, that's it. Thank you." Netero said letting her leave.

"Okay. Thanks Isaac-san." She said and left waving her hand.

"Here are the pairs." Netero said while removing the tape hiding the people.

"Ah! Isaac-san you're a meanie. You took my answers. I warned you, something bad's going to happen." Ame said in a singing voice.

"I will now explain the rules. They are quite simple. Weapons are allowed. No cheating. If your opponent admits defeat, you win. However! If you kill your opponent, you will be immediately disqualified. All remaining applicants will pass, and the exam will end. Are we clear?" Netero explained.

"Then we shall begin the exam's Final first match is Hanzo versus Gon. Please step forward." The referee said.

Three hours later~

"Surrender!" Hanzo shouted at Gon.

"NO!" Gon shouted back.

"If you don't yield, you'll die... I give up. You win! I can't kill you, but I can't get you to give up either." Hanzo shouted.

"NO! That's unfair." Gon yelled.

"In other words, I've already given up on this match, but you want me to try to win again, while helping to determine a way to make you feel good about your victory!" Hanzo said with his eyebrow twitching. "Is that right?"

"Uh-huh!" Gon said happily.

"You moron!" Hanzo punched Gon, and he happily fainted off to sleep. "Hey ref. I lose. Let's move on to the next match."

"Hahaha. Ame-chan Gon-kun is very similar to you isn't he?" Netero asked her.

"Ehehe maybe." She said sticking her tongue out not in a mocking way.

"The second match is Ame versus Hisoka. Will the two please step forward?" The judge said.

"Ame-san you should surrender this match! You can't beat him!" Leorio shouted. Ame looked towards him, and said.

"Eh? Why? I might beat him, you don't know." She said. The applicants all fell over like old men, and couldn't believe what they were hearing. A young girl they presumed to be no older than 15 or 16 had thought she could beat an opponent who kills people for fun? "You're crazy! Just surrender! He'll kill you!" Leorio continued shouting.

"Haha Leorio-chan, don't worry I won't die. It's against the rules." She said and looked back to Hisoka.

"Ready... Begin!" the referee said.

"Yosh! Jan Ken Pon!" Ame said and her hand was in the figure of a rock. While Hisoka's hand was a scissor. Although he didn't say the words the way she did, he still said them in a way found very creepy by the other applicants, and even examiners. "Yay! I won! Hisoka you have to surrender!" Ame shouted at him, and also pointing her finger at the same time.

"EHHHHH?!" The whole hall was practically bouncing at this so called 'fight'.

"Hahahaha. See? Hisoka did you see the face everyone just made? Hahahaha it's too funny ahahahaha." Ame continued laughing and even held her stomach to try stopping it although it did no use.

"Eh. You were right, this was worth it." Hisoka said chuckling.

"Okay Touch!" She said and held her hand in front of him.

He just laughed, and slightly tapped her hand. He walked up to the referee, and said aloud. "I lose." Which caused everyone to fall down in disbelief.

"Ahahaha this is too much~ ahahahaha" She finally stopped laughing, and everyone, and I mean 'everyone' was looking at her for an answer as to what just happened, well except for Hisoka. "Ah~ When we were in the Trick Tower after I reached the end I proposed this idea to him that if he tried it, it would definitely be fun. So the idea was that if we were going to fight we would do rock paper scissors, and whoever loses would not win whatever fight it was. And as it turns out I won janken, so Hisoka had to surrender! The looks on every ones faces were absolutely hilarious, but Gittarackur didn't exactly react the way I wanted him to. Too bad." She finally finished, and walked by Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio who were still half angry and half confused as to why Hisoka didn't kill her.

Slam. Gon entered the room with a broken arm. "Gon-chan! Are you okay?" Ame asked worried. Gon just walked towards Illumi, and stopped beside him.

"Apologize to Killua!" Gon shouted.

"Apologize? For what?" Illumi replied with no emotion.

"You don't know what you did wrong? You don't have the right to be his brother."

"Must I earn the right to be his brother?" Gon got angry, and grabbed Illumi's hand and threw himi out of his seat and he stood beside Gon now. Ame whistled at Gon's aggressiveness while the other where a little surprised.

"He doesn't need to earn the right to be my friend!" Gon said as he grabbed Gittarackur's hand even tighter. "Don't bother apologizing. Just take me to see Killua."

"What will you do?" Illumi asked.

"Isn't that obvious? I'm gonna rescue Killua!" Gon shouted.

"You made it sound as though I kidnapped him...He walked away on his own." Illumi said with no emotion once again.

"But it wasn't his choice. He was being manipulated by you. It's the same thing as kidnapping him!" Gon said. Netero stepped forward, and began speaking.

"We happen to be discussing this very subject, Gon. Kurapika and Leorio have lodged complaints. The committee has been discussing the fairness of Killua's disqualification." Netero said.

"Killua had been behaving in a strange manner during his battle with the man who called him Gittarackur! I believe he was hypnotized into committing this murder. Under normal circumstances it would be impossible to use hypnosis to induce a person to kill. However, as Killua was raised in a family of assassins, murder was a part of his daily life, so it's natural that he would lack the ethical restraint of most!" Kurapika interrupted.

"I want to mention that the attack happened during the match between Bodoro and me. It's possible that he was trying to help me. Given that, the one who should be disqualified is me." Leorio added placing blame on himself.

"In any case, Killua was not in control of his own actions Thus, he should not have been disqualified!" Kurapika added.

"That is all mere speculation. There is no proof." Netero said.

"There was other suspicious business going on as well." Pockle stated looking at Kurapika.

"I find a win by default is more suspicious." Kurapika said.

"Hey hey. Who cares I just want to leave already." Hanzo said standing up.

"None of that matters! It's pointless to argue over whether someone should have passed. If you aren't happy about passing, you should keep working until you're satisfied. If Killua retakes the exam next year, he'll definitely pass! It's unfortunate that he failed this time, but it is what it is. What does matter...If you've been forcing Killua to kill, against his will, all this time, I'll make you pay!"

"Make me pay? What exactly are you going to do?"

"I won't do anything. Only, once we rescue Killua, I'll never let you see him again!"

"Ahem! Is everyone finished?" A long silence.

"Okay, I shall continue the orientation. The cards I've passed out are your Hunter Licenses. This card allows you to enter 90% of the countries that limit immigration, as well as 75% of the restricted areas in the world. So take extra care that your license isn't lost or stolen. You won't receive a replacement." Beans explained.

"Well then, we now declare the seven members here to be new Hunters!" Netero exclaims.

"Huh?" Kurapika says. "Don't we have eight people who passed?" Kurapika asks. Ame smiles mischievously, and looks at Netero. They both nod their heads. Ame stands up from her seat, and walks down from her seat towards Netero.

"I didn't pass the exam this year." Ame said. She began walking to the front of the room, and stood by Netero.

"But, you won against your match against Hisoka right? Satotz-san said it was a really weird match." Gon said.

"YUP! But I took the exam when I was 14 which means I've been a hunter for 9 years. Hmm... time passes by too slow! Ugh...I hope it goes faster!" She complained completely and utterly already forgetting what she was saying.

"Uh..Ame-chan?" Netero slightly sweat dropped, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Huh? Oh yeah! I forgot what I was talking about. Uh... oh so anyways I already passed a long time ago so I can't pass it again. There was a rule, "one who has become a hunter will never have their title revoked" or something like that. I think that was kind of a dumb rule, but a great idea considering I got to see all of your expressions like this! Hahaha" Ame continued laughing as people were sweat dropping and angry as they stormed out.
