Scarlet Eyes
Chapter 11
Hikari's POV
I wonder if this airship has a kitchen. I'll have to go and find out. I'll have to ask the boys what sweet they want.
"Allow me to introduce myself to the forty-two remaining applicants. I am Netero, Chairman of this year's Hunter Exam Selection Committee."
"I am his secretary, Beans."
"Originally, I'd planned to make my appearance during the exam's final phase, but as I'm already here..."
Everyone sure became tense quickly.
"I'm loving this tension in the air! So I think I'll stick around for the rest of the trip."
"We are scheduled to arrive at our destination tomorrow morning, at 8 AM. You'll find dinner waiting in the dining hall. You are also welcome to get some rest. In other words, you're free to do as you please until you are contacted."
"Okay, Gon! Let's explore the airship!"
"Yeah!"
"Gon, Killua, Wait a minute."
"Nee-Chan?"
"I'm going to ask if I can bake in the kitchen so what sweets do you want."
"Your chocolate chip cookies!"
"Killua?"
"Chocolate chip cookies are just fine"
"Okay"
Now they run off and I don't stop them. And I head towards the kitchen. Hopefully, I am allowed.
Kurapika's POV
"How can they have so much energy? I'm hitting the sack."
"You can say that again. However, I do have one concern..."
"Hmm, What's that?"
"How many more phases are there?"
"Oh. They've never mentioned that, have they?"
"On average, there are five to six phases."
"Which means we still have three or four to go...?"
"All the more reason to rest now.
"But you should be careful."
"Huh?"
"The secretary only told us when we'll arrive at our destination. It's possible that the third exam could take place on this airship itself. And it doesn't necessarily mean we'll be contacted at 8 AM."
"Huh? Are you serious?"
"Hmm, that does make sense..."
"You might wake up to discover that the exam has already ended. If you plan to make it to the next phase, don't let yourself relax on this airship."
"What the hell...Well, that was some good advice. Thanks."
"We shall bear that in mind."
"Let's all do our best."
He is up to something so we might as well ignore everything he just said. Must be a way to get rid of rookies.
Tonpa's POV
Yeah, right...Here's hoping that you're both nervous wrecks, come the morning,
Kurapika's POV
There's no chance that the next phase will b held on the airship. Were that their intention, they wouldn't have said that we were free to do as we pleased. They would have told us to stand by.
Leorio's is already asleep.
Hikari's POV
Now, which way is the Kitchen? Ahh, here it is.
"Excuse me."
"Yes, young lady?"
"Is it alright if I come into the kitchen? I wish to bake some cookies if that is alright?"
"Why, certainly. You can go to the back of the room and use the equipment there."
"Thank you!"
I go to the back of the room and start to get out the equipment that I need. It didn't take me long to find everything. Now first thing first, I need to make the cookie dough. Make sure not to forget the chocolate chips.
Now that is done. I just need to cook them. I Place the dough onto the trays. From this dough, I managed to make over 100 chocolate chip cookies. That should be enough for the five of us to share. I can tell that Killua has a sweet tooth and would end up eating a lot of them before the rest of us manage to get any.
It only cooks 15 minutes for the cookies to be done. I leave them out to cool while I wash up all the equipment that I used. I find a big tin that isn't being used and I place all 100 chocolate chip cookies inside and close the lid.
I pack the rest of the equipment away and was about to walk out when I see Gon and Killua getting thrown out of the kitchen. They must have been trying to take some food.
"Thank you for letting me use your kitchen."
"You got your baking done?"
"Yes! I made some Chocolate chip cookies. Bye!"
I walk out to see Gon and Killua had moved to the Window further down the hall.
"Gon, Killua."
"Hikari-Nee! You finished?"
"Yes, I have."
"Wow, awesome! Look, Gon! Hikari-Nee!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Pretty. It looks like multicolored jewels.
"Wow! It's like the ground if covered in jewels!"
"Yeah!"
"Hey, I was wondering..."
"Hmm?"
"Where are your mom and dad?"
"Hmm...They're alive. Probably."
"What do they do?"
"They're assassins."
"Huh? Both of them?"
"That's your first reaction? You really are a riot!
"Huh?"
"You're the first person who's ever responded seriously.
"Well, you're telling the truth, right?"
"What makes you think that?"
"It's just a hunch right Hikari-Nee?"
"Yeah, I can tell when someone is lying though."
"That's weird...People only like me because they can't ever tell whether I'm serious. I'm from a family of assassins. So they're all assassins. And my family has really high hopes for me...But I can't stand it. Who wants to have their life planned out for them? When I told them I wanted to decide my own future, they all snapped! My mother had tears streaming down her face, as she told me I have the potential to be a top assassin. Horrible parents, right? Its natural their kid would go bad. We ended up fighting. So I stabbed my mother in the face, my brother in the side, and ran away from home. I'm sure they're out for blood now, but if they find me, I'll send them packing."
So #301 is one of his brothers in disguise. They give off the same aura. I must keep an eye on Killua and make sure that his brother doesn't get to him.
"When I become a Hunter, I'll start by capturing my family, I'm sure they're worth some hefty bounties..."
What is Netero-San here for? I though the third phase didn't start until the morning? Unless he wants something else? I just look in his direction waiting to see what he was going to do.
He lets out some of his aura that stops Killua's and Gon's conversation and they look in the area Netero-San once was.
"Something wrong?"
For someone who is old. He sure moves fast.
"Ah, Netero-san...Did you see anyone coming from that side?"
"No."
"You're pretty fast for an old man."
"That little trick? I barely moved."
There sure is a lot of tension between Killua and Netero-san. But that is too be expected I guess after Netero-San allows a little bit of his aura out.
"What do you want? You don't have to do anything until the last phase, right?"
"No need to be so unkind. I got bored and was looking for some companions. By the way, I meant to ask the three of you...Any thoughts on your first attempt at the Hunter Examination?"
"Uh-uh. It's fun! And there haven't been any of the written exams I was dreading."
"It has been fun so far, especially the cooking phase."
"I'm disappointed...I expected the exam to be far more difficult. I assume the next phase will be more entertaining?"
"Well, now... I wouldn't know about that."
"Let's go, Gon! Hikari-Nee!"
"Now wait just a moment. Would you care to play a game with me?"
"A game?"
"If you're able to defeat me, I shall let you be Hunters!"
"Really? I'll play!"
"How about it, eh?"
A game? Maybe I can get my Hunter's license this way and won't have to worry about anything else apart from keeping an eye on Gon. Netero-San takes us to a padded room and he has a ball on his finger.
"Now, I'll go over the rules of the game. If you can take this ball from me, before the airship reaches its destination, you win. I believe that we're scheduled for an 8 AM arrival? Well, that still gives you nine hours. You're free to attack me however you'd like. I won't touch you."
"Huh? That's too easy. You can't call that a game."
"Why not give it a try first?"
"We just have to take the ball?"
"Yeah."
"Hikari-Nee, do you want to go first?"
"Sure, I don't mind."
I want to get this out of the way so I can watch Gon and Killua have their turn. I want to see how close they get to get the ball from Netero-san. I rush towards Netero-San in a blur and while he was distracted by this I managed to the ball from him without him noticing.
To be Continued...
