"Good morning examinee, my name is Beans." My attention quickly shifted to the speaker where i was greeted to the sight of what one could consider a human jelly bean wearing a suit. "I'm the Hunter Association Chairman's personal secretary and I'm here to explain the third phase. We are currently standing on top of the trick tower which is the test site for phase three. Anyway the task in this test is very simple. Reach the bottom of this tower alive within 72 hours. The test will now commence in 3…2…1…0. Good luck everyone." The bean-like creature returned to the airship and fly off immediately leaving 100 examinees on top of a circular tall tower.
I look on in amusement before returning my attention to the Hunter quad. "Well, I guess this is where we part ways then or at least for now. Meet me at the bottom yeah cause no way am going through this shit" I gave them as thumbs up and waved over my shoulder at them as I walked away. My destination was the edge of the fucked-up tower.
I slowly made my way towards the edge of the tower and looked down to get a better view of the ground level below. I quickly went over the task at hand. 'Let's see, I have roughly 72 hours to get from the top of the tower to the bottom alive. There were no rules or instructions as to how we can get down the tower so it's safe to assume that we can simply climb down. But that doesn't seem like a good way to flex in any way or form.'
I eyeballed the distance as an idea occurred. 'I could freefall for the most part then use the wall to slow down until I reach the ground but will that actually work? I mean it sounds pretty solid when you think about it right?' I placed my chin in between my thumb and index finger as I contemplated whether or not I should make the jump or not. The worst-case scenario I could come up with was breaking some bones then wait to recover.
…
…
I Looked in the direction of wings approaching the tower. Without wasting another second, I dashed in the direction it was coming from. As I approached the source of the noise, I was able to spot several weird creatures flying towards a brave hunter that decided to climb down the towers using nothing but his hands and feet. I looked on in interest I hatched a new daring and ingenuity plan that i was sure to work. Not only was it full proof, but it would be a fun plan as well. A large grin made its way to my face. He had discovered how he was going to beat this phase while showing off.
As soon as the creatures were close enough, I leaped onto one of them and delivered a devastating punch directly to its head killing it instantly. Before the bird began to descend, I leaped from its corpse and proceeded to dispose of the second and third creature leaving only one. With those three creatures down, I had no hindrance to execute my plan. I jumped onto the back of the fourth creature and plunged my hand into its left wing severely injuring it. This in turn caused the creature to shriek out in pain. Unable to fully support its body with just one wing, the creature dropped from the sky. Survival instincts kicking in for the creature as it began flapping its only uninjured wing twice as hard to minimize the impact.
The participant who was climbing down the wall saw what I was doing and took a chance, I think his number was 69. He quickly pushed himself off the wall and rotated his body so that he was facing downwards, I saw he was aiming for the beast below him. There is something you should know about me is I hate it when someone profits of my ideas, if I allow then sure but if not then… you pay. So I do what any normal person would do… I sabotage his attempt, I use [Telekinesis] to push him a little off course, using the wind as cover for my ability and it works wonders. His aim being off due to yours truly, his body missed the creature and is now free-falling while screaming for dear life. I grinned wildly as the creature circled back and plucked him out of the air and flew off, Fucking Beautiful.
I quickly delivered a finishing blow to the creature ending its life then proceeded to hop down leaving its corpse for any hungry creature.
"Man, I love when a plan comes together".
After a few minutes of walking, I found the entrance. And soon the goal was within sight, The prison guards allowed me entry without a single protest. And when I entered an empty area, an announcement was made.
"Congratulations number 406 on making first place at 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
I simply plopped himself against the closest wall and promptly fell asleep.
"And now we sit here for the next three days"
'What The Fuck is that, he looks like a cross between man and hawk' I watched as the examiner for the third phase gathered the passing examinees. I scanned the area taking note to those whom passed and wasn't surprised that the Hunter quad were amongst the group. They looked a bit ruffled but other than that, they seemed perfectly fine. My eyes caught a glimpse of Tonpa trailing behind them and I remember immediately what probably took place during the phase. Tonpa the self-proclaimed rookie crusher. He would fail the test just so that he could retake it with the intention of crushing a rookie contender in the cruelest way possible. It would seem that he took delight in destroying the dreams and ambitions of others.
Knowing about this man and seeing the condition of the quad, I guess that he probably made several attempts to hinder or sabotage them. The fact that they still managed to succeed meant that either his plan didn't go as planned or he wanted to sabotage others in the next phase. Maybe it's time someone gave him a taste of his own medicine. I'll see what I can cook up to make this man quit his shenanigans. Of course I'll let him live just to make sure he remembers that karma fucks everybody.
Once the examinees were gathered around, Lippo began talking. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to start off my congratulating you all for managing to escape Trick Tower. As of now only the fourth phase and final phase remains."
The knowledge that they were this much closer to passing the exams pleased quite a few people. The others of course were aware that things would only get tougher thus there was no time to relax.
"The fourth phase will take place over there, on Zevil Island." Lippo pointed to an Island behind him in the distance. "Anyway, let us proceed" With a snap of the finger, one of his workers came forward pushing a small box device on wheels. The worker pushed the device next to Lippo and stopped. "I need you all to draw lots to determine who will hunt and who will be hunted. In this box lie fifty numbered cards." He motioned to the strange box device next to him before continuing. "In other words, your ID numbers are on the cards. Now I need you all to draw a card, in the order by which you completed phase three. Will the first person come forward"
I pushed of the wall and walked towards the man. I reached into the box and pulled out a seemingly blank card then returned to the crowd. Once I had my card, the next after me stepped forward to grab his own card before returning to his original position. For the next few minutes, each contender stepped forward and retrieved a card.
Lippo looked into the box and noted that it was now empty. Satisfied with the turn of events, he proceeded to explain the next step. "Now that everyone's taken a card, please remove the seal."
I peeled back the sticker on his card revealing the number 16. If I remember correctly, number 16 was Tonpa. Ohhh, he is fucked even if I didn't get him, I would have still fucked him over regardless.
"This card indicates your target."
That lone sentence drew a smirk from me. It would seem that Karma wanted me to do her bidding. The other contenders quickly covered and removed their own tags as a means to make things difficult for their hunters. Lippo smirked at their reactions as he continued explaining the steps to the fourth phase.
"This box has recorded which card each of you drew. This means you're free to dispose of the cards if you wish. The objective is to steal your target's ID tag. Naturally you're free to use any method you choose to steal the ID tags and that includes killing your target and retrieving the tag from his corpse" This piece of information placed the entire group on the edge. Lippo's smile only increased as he held his hand up catching their attention once more. This final information would no doubt amplify the tension that's already in the air.
"Listen carefully, your target's Id tag is worth three points. Your own ID tag is also worth 3 points. All other ID tags are worth one point. You'll need six points to advance to the final phase. So while on Zevil Island, you must gather enough ID tags to total 6 points. That is the condition for clearing the Hunter exam's fourth phase."
And just as he imagined, almost every hunter swerved around cautiously. The idea that one of these contenders were going to hunt you down later on with permission to kill you for your id tag didn't seem so comforting. The only thing comforting those individuals was the fact that nobody bothered to remember every single person's badge number. I mean who or why would anyone spend time trying to remember the names, faces, and badge numbers of every single contender? There was simply no point. The only logical thing to do was remember the most dangerous contenders of the group such as number 44 and myself. 44 was chosen by the majority due to his insatiable bloodlust and his tendency to kill without remorse. Then there's me due to my victory over Hisoka without a single scratch. To pull off such a feat was something no ordinary man could have accomplished. With that being said, I was labelled as something akin to a demon.
"Now the boat to Zevil Island will leave in a few minutes" Lippo stated. "Anyone that doesn't board the boat will be disqualified from the exams." As soon as those words left his lips, most of the examinees quickly made their way towards the boat where they were greeted to the cheerful face of a young female with fair skin, short red hair, and yellow eyes. Based on the logo on her shirt, she was a crew member of the association's exam and my new time-killer.
"Shiruba-san that was epic" I turned my attention to the source upon hearing this. It was then I noticed Gon, and the others casually approaching me.
"A few others tried to copy you but failed miserably" chimed Killua. His cheerful demeanour and the contents of the story did not match up one bit. "They had someone climb down the tower to lure those things. When those things showed up, someone attempted to copy you but they jumped into the thing's mouth or missed the creature completely. The climbers were eaten or fell to their deaths. After three or four failures, no one else made the attempt. That was the funniest moment of my life." Killua laughed as images of the failed attempts resurfaced.
~Khara~
"Well hello there examinees, welcome aboard." I turned my head forward and sent the young redhead a slick wink as I boarded the ship. The examiner blushed a bit at my bold action. She took a quick glance at the dock to see if anyone remained behind but much to her surprise, no one backed out. Once everyone had boarded the boat, the female examiner gave the helmsmen the signal to leave. She did have a schedule.
Now content with the proceedings so far, she took a deep breath and slowly released it. Using her most cheerful tone, she began her well planned speech to encourage the contenders before they started phase four.
"I'd like to commend everyone on board for their excellent work during the Hunter Exam's third phase. My name is Khara and today I will serve as your guide. It will take 2 hours for this boat to reach Zevil Island. All fifty applicants remaining here are automatically qualified to take next year's exam". She sent a cheeky wink towards the examinees then continued. "So if you fail this year, don't feel bad. Please try again next year….." She trailed off when she realized just how little affect her speech had on the audience.
'T-this is so depressing' a large bead of sweat trailed down the back of her neck. This was the most awkward moment of her day. It looked like Lippo had outdone himself with his performance. Then a large pressure fell upon the ship as everyone looked to the source it's the silver haired man from earlier, "The lady is talking to you so unless you deaf respond or I'll throw you off the ship"
Several examinees near the man shifted away as if trying to put as much distance between the man and failing. Several others took quick glances at him as if they were weary of him. And it wasn't just the man they seemed nervous about. Khara noticed several others looking at the jester and his barely concealed bloodlust. As the group starts clapping in order to not anger the Man.
'This is going to be a long ride' she absently thought. She was definitely not going to enjoy this trip. She smiled cheerful as she made one last statement. "Well, you're free to do as you like for the next two hours. Please enjoy the boat ride." She proceeded to walk away from the most depressing scene to relax and think about happier thoughts but is stopped by the man from earlier.
~Shiruba~
"Well miss allow me to apologize for the reception you received, the name is shiruba" I say using the new skill I created while waiting for the other examinees, [Mind Alter] it is a simple skill really not as powerful as mind control but as it level's up it;s potential to be mind control will rise, it allows me to plant suggestions into people's minds to make them more susceptible to my demand, they would think this is just their subconscious thoughts but that would not be the case.
As we speak I subtly plant thought of that she finds me handsome, that she wouldn't mind me taking her and ravishing her, that it would hurt just to go a few rounds with me. You, know suggestions that will make it easy for me to bend her over and fuck her. We walk and talk while going deeper into the ship and finally she breaks and leads me to her room.
As we enter, we take of our clothes, Dragging her over to the bed I bend khara over the bed, pulling her red thong aside seems she isn't as innocent as she seems.
Lining myself up I waste no time in slamming my hips forwards, easily sliding into her semi-soaked cunt.
~Khara~
As Shiruba pounded her against the bed, she moaned loudly, not even trying to suppress the sounds as she moved her hips back towards him.
It'd been a while since either she had gotten a good fucking and she wasn't going to miss an opportunity when one presented itself.
Shiruba was a chance to get fucked hard and that was a godsend.
As the sounds of their thighs slapping together filled the room, she looked back over her shoulder into his stern golden gaze, shocked that he was still so composed even when he was balls deep inside her.
"Come on~ please faster." Khara begged, making him idly raise an eyebrow at her as he sped up, bringing his hand down on her pale ass hard, making her yelp as he started to spank her. "Mhmm~ harder, … fuck your slutty procter."
"Such a little slut, why did I bother convincing you when I should have just bent you over the rails of the ship." Shiruba growled, making her moan in disappointment as he pulled out, flipping her over and pushing her fully onto the bed.
Grabbing her legs he pushed them up to her shoulders.
"I would have put up a fight~ but I decided this was best…" she whispered out, pausing.
immediately sliding his length back into her, using the new position to pound her into the bed, much to her satisfaction.
Yeesssss~ that's it, pound me like I've been waiting for, fuck me like the slut I am~" she said before pausing. "... I'm on the pill so it's safe I won't get pregnant, so there's no need to pull out."
She could feel her long overdue climax approaching fairy quickly as Shiruba yanked her yellow HxH Top down enough to maul her tits, kissing her roughly, and with a moan into her mouth she tightened down on his invading cock, wishing she could lock her legs around his waist, instead she made due with digging her nails into his back as he sped up, he was going to cum himself soon and she couldn't wait.
With a grunt, he bottomed out inside her and she could only grin at the feeling of his seed pumping into her, cumming again at the hot sticky sensation.
Unwrapping her legs as he pulled out, she looked down at his cum leaking out of her freshly fucked pussy with a satisfied grin.
"Mhmm~ I needed that, thanks stud." she said as she went to rise, yelping as she was immediately pulled back down, pushed face down on the bed as he climbed on top of her, his still hard length resting between her buttocks.
"Sorry Luv, you didn't really think I was gonna be satisfied after one round, did you?" Shiruba growled into her ear, his posh voice sending shivers down her spine as he pulled back and pressed his lubricated cock against her exposed pussy and immediately sliding back in.
~2 Hours Later~
Khara released a sigh of relief as the last of the contender left her boat. Now the only ones that remained was her, her crew, and of course Tonpa. Speaking of Tonpa, what exactly was he up to right now? She turned towards the last spot she saw him and found him sleeping peacefully as if nothing else mattered. After finding out that he got than Sex fiend Shiruba as his hunter he basically gave him his ID Card and quit the exam saying it is better this way and that having #406 as a hunter is akin to being suicidal . The boat rocked a bit informing her that her crew had removed the boat's ramp and the ropes securing them in place.
"Khara-san, we're ready when you are" one of her workers informed her. She slowly nods her head in acceptance.
"Alright boys, it's time to relax for a bit and maybe eat something. We'll be back in a week to grab the passing participants. Let's head out now" As soon as she said those orders, the boat began driving away from the Island.
3 Days Later
Beheading the Lizard in front of me with my flame sword, I smile to myself, satisfied with my progress, since I basically completed this part of the exam with tonpa being the little bitch he is, there was no point in waiting five days on the island doing nothing so I decided since I have five days to myself and the time dilation of the ID'S is 24HRS:1HR, I basically had all the time I needed to power level my way up.

I had reached level 50 in my Evocation class a while ago, which means I am now allowed to choose a secondary class, but I was busy at the time to remember. I look at the options that are presented in front of me.
Class Selection
[Fighter] [Ranger] [Mage] [Rogue]
Mage is gone…huh, can I not choose the other specialisations any more?
Extra Specialisations will become available after the chosen one is maxed
Secret classes are available through secret actions or as quest rewards.
That's fair enough, once Evoker hits 100 I can choose another Mage Class. From the others Ranger is useless to me for now, it doesn't work since I've got magic to deal with my range. So Fighter, or Rogue?
[Fighter] [Ranger] [Rogue]
I already know what to pick since I basically don't need to waste stat points or time levelling up my INT and WIS, I can pick a class that deals with boosting my physical stats, so fighter it is.
[Warrior] [Duellist] [Martial Artist] [Berserker] [Lancer]
Berserker is out, fuck that. Duellist and Lancer ain't what I am looking for, so it's either Warrior or Martial Artist, weapons or fists?... Definitely Weapons
Class Gained
[Warrior] – LVL 1/100 [0%]
Gain 5 END, VIT and STR every level.
[Swordsmanship Proficiency (Advanced Beginner)] Already in possession as Sword Mastery
Upgrading Skill
[Sword Mastery] {Passive} LV – 50/100
Allows the user to freely handle swords. Increase in attack damage with swords.
[Light Armor Proficiency (Novice)] (Passive)
You are a novice at using and wearing light armor.
[Shield Proficiency (Novice)] (Passive)
You are a novice at using a shield.
[Power Slash] (Active)
Deal [(STRx2)+Weapon Damage] Physical Damage.
You Know funny enough just gaining this class rose my level by one and my STR, VIT and END by 5, my actual level is 76, while my class is just one, so my actual level is just all my classes added up. I can still feel my magic waiting to be called upon, and my spells ready to be cast.
Casting non-class skills doubles the MP or cost
Well ain't that a bitch, I don't actually care about the skills to be honest, I just want to increase my physical stats so I won't drop dead if an enemy gets to close. Magic is better than swords true it being versatile and all, but being a magic swordsman does sound appealing.
But that's a topic for another time, I need sleep, may not necessarily need it but I'm generally lazy so yeah. Plus the challenge ends tomorrow and I wanna get this over with.
~Next Day~
This challenge was shit, well in all honesty I didn't do anything really but the other three look like they've been through hell. Either the hunter exam is hard or these participants are weak as shit cause all that's left is 9 applicants out of 44, the anime made it seem difficult. Anyway it's time to leave this island.
"Attention all applicants the chairman wishes to interview you, when you hear your number come to the reception room on the second floor. We will start with #44 Mr Hisoka thank you for your cooperation " I'm brought out of my nap by the announcement, seems like the end is near and it will be my time to leave this part of the multiverse.
Hisoka Morow examinee #44
Hisoka walked into the room where he was greeted to the sight of Netero casually sitting behind a small brown table. "Well, why don't you have a seat young man?" Netero motioned to the empty spot on the opposite side of where he sat.
"I don't suppose this is the final phase of the exam?" Netero pulled out a small pad and ink brush.
"Not necessarily but it is related. I'll be asking a few questions to satisfy my curiosity." Hisoka pondered for a bit before making his way towards the small pillow lying on the floor and plopped down in a comfortable position.
"First, why do you want to become a hunter?"
"I'm not particularly interested in becoming a hunter, but a license can be very useful for avoiding punishments when killing someone." His bloodlust rose as he thought about the perks that came with the hunter license.
Netero simply recorded his response not at all bothered by the display of bloodlust. "I see, I'll move on to the next question. Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?" Hisoka's eyes lit up in delight as he announced his answer.
"#406 Shiruba Safa" Just the thought of a future match with him excited him.
Netero nodded his head in acceptance as he recorded the next answer. "Alright, I have one last question. Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?" Hisoka paused momentarily before answering.
"Number 405 and 99 would be my answer. But if you're asking who I want to fight at this moment, my answer would be you." He sayswith his bloodlust spiking, Netero quickly recorded his response. He gave his small sheet of paper a quick look over before dismissing him.
"Very well, you are excused"
Hisoka slowly stood up and walked away.
Gittarackur examinee #301
"Why do you want to become a hunter?" Netero eyed the Zoldyck in disguise. There were no rules that stated he couldn't use an alias so he didn't comment on it.
"To kill" It was a simply answer but nothing Netero hadn't expected from the assassin.
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?" The pinned face man turned his face to the right as if staring at an imaginary person.
"#99"
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?" The contender turned towards the right and Netero found himself wondering why he was doing that.
"#44"
'And people call me eccentric' was the general thought that went through his mind as he dismissed the pin faced contender.
Hanzo examinee #294
"Why do you want to become a hunter?"
"It seemed like a good idea at the time. With a hunter license, I could travel freely."
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"It has to be #44 and #406. They're the most dangerous here."
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?"
"That would be #406 and 44 especially number 406." He shivered as he thought about the dangerous presence and aura he felt from the silver-haired teen.
Netero quickly wrote his response then dismissed him.
Bodoro examinee #191
"Why do you want to become a hunter?"
"I have particular desire to become one. I mainly came here for the competition. The hunter license is just an added bonus."
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"I'm keeping my eye on #44. He has a real presence and he's old enough unlike 45 & 99. I don't fight children." Netero said nothing as he recorded his answer.
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?"
"That would be 405, 99, and 406. Despite the fact that #406 has defeated #44, it doesn't change the fact that he's a minor." Netero didn't bother correcting him that Shiruba is more mature than he appears.
Geretta examinee #384
"Why do you want to become a hunter?"
"To become a beast hunter"
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"I'm keeping my eye out for #406." The fIght between the two remained fresh within his mind.
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?"
"That would be #406 and 44. I don't stand a snowballs chance against those two."
Gon Freecssexaminee #405
"Why do you want to become a hunter?"
"I want to find my father. He's a hunter" Netero smiled fondly at the young boy. It was admirable for him but given who his father is, it would be a very difficult task. Ging was an elusive man when he wanted to be. Even he had a hard time trying to locate the man sometimes. Then again maybe he was going senile. His attention went back to the young boy as he questioned him again.
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"Who am I watching out for?" Gon repeated the question as he thought about it carefully. "That would be #44. He's a scary man though not as scary as Shiruba-san when he's pissed or you wake him up for no reason at all." Netero's eyebrow rose at this.
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?"
"I don't want to fight #99, 403, 404, and 406. They're all my friends." He didn't want to fight his friends for the final exam. If this was a spar then he wouldn't mind but that wasn't the case here.
Killua Zoldyck examinee #99
"Why do you want to become a hunter?" Netero was curious as to why two members of the Zoldyck family were in his exams. Surely it couldn't be anything money related since the entire family was loaded.
"I don't particularly want to become a hunter. I just thought it would be fun." Netero's eyebrow rose slightly. That was an interesting answer. He scribbled it down then proceeded to the next question.
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"That would be Gon since we're the same age." Netero nodded his head as he recorded his response. So far, his response wasn't that of an assassin. That was very interesting to him.
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?" Killua's mind quickly went through each contestant until he found his answer.
"I don't want to fight #53. I don't think it'd be a very interesting fight." Netero recorded his answer then dismissed him.
Kurapika examinee #404
"Why do you want to become a hunter?"
"I want to become a blacklist hunter to hunt and kill a certain group. As a hunter, I'll be able to gather information; the kind of information regular people can't get their hands on." Netero stared at Kurapika for a few seconds before he wrote his answer.
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"I'm watching 405 for positive reasons and #44 for negative reasons. If I'm giving ample reason, I'll fight just about anyone. If not, I would prefer not to fight anyone." Netero recorded his answers then dismissed him since he unknowingly answered both questions.
Leorio Paradinight examinee #403
"Why do you want to become a hunter?"
"I need a great deal of money to become a doctor. As a hunter, I'll be able to do that and more. I will be able to save lives at the cost of nothing. I don't want to see someone die from something that could have been easily cured again." Netero was surprised by the passion behind his reasoning. He didn't often meet people like him.
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"I'm keeping an eye on 405. He's a perfect example that there are still positive people in this world and I owe him a great deal. I hope he passes the exam."
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?"
"I'm hoping I don't have to fight #405 or 406 for different reasons."
Shiruba examinee #406
"Why do you want to become a hunter?"
"To be honest I don't, but becoming one ensures I get what I need "
"Which of the 9 participants are you keeping an eye on?"
"I'm keeping my eye out for #44, he gave me a good fight." The fight between the two remained fresh within his mind.
"Which of the other participants would you least want to fight?"
"None, but I would not like to fight at all it's quite the hassle."
"Hmm, the results were more flopped than I was expecting but I think I'll manage somehow." Netero pulled out a large white board and began fixing the matchups for the final phase. The process took approximately 1 hour before he managed to create what he dubbed the perfect matches.
"Yes, that's wonderful" With the matches set, he rose from his seat, grabbed the board, and left the room he was in to meet up and inform the other examiners of his decision. As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted to the sight of several hunters siting patiently for his arrival.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting" He quickly made his ways towards them with the board in hand. "I've compiled up the bracket" He quickly held the board up showing its content with a content smile.
"Huh?" Menchi stared at the board in disbelieve. She couldn't formulate in words what she was seeing at this moment. Was this some sort of trick?
"What is this?" Satotz's eyes widened a bit. Netero was truly a mischievous person and this was just further proof.
Lippo gawked at the board as he tried to figure out what possessed the chairman to do something like this.
"But ch-chairman, are you sure about this?" Buhara stuttered in shock. This was utterly cruel even for his standards. Netero chuckled at their reactions before responding.
"Completely serious"
"He certainly does have a serious expression" commented Satotz with a bead of sweat sliding down the side of his forehead.
"Th-that's a serious expression?" asked Menchi as she stared at Satotz in disbelief.
"Passing this trail will award them with the Title of Hunter" started Netero whose expression had yet to change.
"Well gentlemen everyone rested up…good, for the final phase of the exam you will be competing in a one-on-one tournament, you only need one win to pass this phase. See it is the winners that will drop away and the losers who will advance to the next round, which means the person who finishes at the top will not pass. Make Sense to everyone". The old man explains.
"So your saying only one person fails the exam?" hanzo asks for clarification as this type of tournament style is weird if not different to the norm.
Exactly was the response given, that making everyone stay silent and intensely look at the board, well everyone except me that is because seriously this is just a giant version of say uncle posing as a tournament.
"Impressive yes… , you see under this format every competitor has at least two chances of passing the exam". "But couldn't you have used a more balanced bracket" I shift my gaze towards the man who asked the question Bodoro if I remember correctly my opponent in this tournament when he loses against Hisoka.
"Now that's a fair question, this bracket was assembled carefully based on each of your individual performances throughout the exam. To put it simply those whose performance were rated highly will have the most chances to win. The rules of the battle are really quite simple, weapons are allowed and cheating is forbidden, if your opponent admits defeat you win however if you kill your opponent you will be disqualified without hesitation and if that happens the exam ends and the remaining applicants pass got it?"
I look around to see everybody nodding and I take this chance to get things moving, "Old man", said old man looks towards me as I gather the attention of everyone I the room " I understand that all this chit-chat is important as to ensure everything goes as planned but I've got shit to do and am on a schedule so cut the small talk and let's get shit started" I end my statement with a grin and cracking my knuckles, let it be know that I may be lazy but nothing gets my blood pumping like a good fight.
"Well then, as the young man just said let us cut the small talk and begin the final phase of the exam" as old man Netero says those words
The fights were pretty much the same as in the anime Gon against the wannabe ninja, The archer against whoever loses *cough*Ninja*cough* and killua against who loses that fight, with Illumi against the loser and so on and so forth. And finally it came to my fight which to be honest wasn't really a fight just a dick measuring contest which I won obviously. So now here I am listening to these people explain to me what the hell being a hunter is all about but I can't help but wonder if Bodoro will be alright after what I did to him.
~Flashback~
"Would The Next participants please come forth so we may begin the final match of the tournament" the announcer with the shades says aloud drawing the spectators attention
I walked on to the arena and looked at my opponent even though I don't need to I humoured him and used observe to see what the hell s up with this old man,
Bodoro, The Wandering Sage
LV – 38 Race – Human
STR – 38
END – 24
DEX – 30
INT – 35
WIS – 40
CHA – 50
LUK – 15
Bodoro is a Travelling sage with an adequate hold on the use of nen. He searched for the true meaning of life but still has not found his answer. He is a the founder of the The Life's Power cult. A religion that believes all life holds power as long as it breathes it's power, and he is here with the aim of becoming a hunter in order to reap the benefits that it hold in order to help his cult.
Thought about you – Annoyance, wonders why he has to fight a minor(Believes anyone below 40 is a child/minor).
So the old bastard is underestimating me cause for some fucking reason he considers me a child, well his loss is my win I guess " You know old man" I say getting his attention " I really hate being underestimated, and the fact that you consider me a child really pisses me of, so I giving you three options yeah, I activated [Conqueror's Domain] slowly increasing the pressure" I raise one finger " You give up and try again next year", I raised the second finger " I beat you within an inch of your life then make you give up", I raised the third and last finger " I embarrass you by shoving that damn pride of yours up your ass"
He started to sweat a little as he now realized that I wasn't playing. " So what's it going to be old man" I seriously didn't want to fight cause it's to much work but I will if I have to.
He took a deep breath. "No I will not lose to a child who knows not the meaning of life?"
I grinned. "so even now you still consider me a child, ok your funeral."
The referee glanced between them, and once he saw they were ready, he threw his hand in the air. "Begin!"
Neither of us moved. We were both carefully watching for any openings the opponent had. I could still feel my magic rearing to go and had to remind himself that this was not a death match. I needed to make sure he didn't accidentally kill him because he was upset over something that he considers him a fucking child. If something like that happened again, he wouldn't-
Bodoro shifted his weight slightly to his right, leaving his left side wide open, so i took the chance to dart forward with a small boost from my magic. I ducked under Bodoro's palm strike as it was swung at me and slammed my fist onto the man's chest, releasing the mgic surrounding it as i did. The impact sent Bodoro skidding back, but he managed to stay on his feet. Damn, I held back too much. I gave himself a mental shake and ran forward again, not giving Bodoro a chance to gain his bearings. I twisted his wrist and flipped him over my shoulder. The man in question swore under his breath when it forced him to right himself in the air, to bad I was already on him and wasted no time in kicking him in back to the ground. He tried to get back up and gain some space, but i followed and flipped in the air with one foot extended, landing a mana infused leg drop. This time the ground under Bodoro cracked and with another well placed kick to the side he was sent flying, and when his back hit the wall, it formed a small indent behind him. Somehow, Bodoro managed to stay on his feet, even as he stumbled away from the damage unsteadily.
I frowned. It wouldn't take much now to knock the other out, but it wasn't something that I wanted to have to resort to. Then again, drawing out the fight wouldn't benefit either of them. Mind made up, he shifted a foot forward, preparing to dart forward and end this, when Bodoroo lifted a hand in the air.
"I concede defeat," he said, expression turning into a grimace as he clutched the side that had been kicked and not a minute later he passed out.
Rin blinked.
The referee nodded and threw his hand back into the air, calling out, "Shiruba is the winner."
*You Levelled Up*
Well should've listened
~Flashback End~
we were sitting in an auditorium-esk room and listening to an orientation speech when the doors suddenly flung open, revealing a heavily bandaged Gon. He had his arm in a sling and a bandage on his forehead. However, he didn't acknowledge them and walked past, only stopping when he was next to Illumi.
"Apologize to Killua!" he demanded. His face was curled into a serious expression, one that didn't fit on his face in the least.
Illumi looked at him blankly. "Apologize? For what?"
That actually made Gon pause. "You don't know what you did wrong?" he asked.
"Nope."
I could see Gon's shaking form even from where i was sitting.
"You don't have the right to be his brother," he growled.
Illumi looked away, clearly dismissing the boy. "Must I earn the right to be his brother?"
Gon grabbed his arm and yanked him from his seat. "He doesn't need to earn the right to be my friend!" His grip tightened on Illumi's arm, and it was only then that the man finally looked startled. "Don't bother apologizing," Gon gritted out. "Just take me to see Killua."
Illumi didn't look like he would attack at the moment, but i had seen how fast a person's mind could change in an instant—as evident with one murderous clown.
"What will you do then?"
"That should be obvious," Gon stated simply. "I'm gonna rescue Killua!"
It's funny that Illumi just looked amused by the whole conversation, rather than annoyed.
"You make it sound as though I kidnapped him. He walked away on his own," Illumi reminded. His voice was still the emotionless tone of a puppet, but at least he wasn't creaking like one anymore.
"But it wasn't by choice," Gon argued immediately. "He was being manipulated by you people. It's the same thing as kidnapping!"
The Chairman suddenly stepped down from the podium with his arms crossed behind his back. "We happened to be discussing this very subject, Gon. Kurapika, Leorio. The committee has been discussing the fairness of Killua's disqualification."
Kurapika stood up. "Killua had been behaving in a strange manner during and since his battle with the man who called himself Gittarackur. I believe that he was hypnotized into committing 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," he said strongly.
Leorio also stood up and added, "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."
Huh owning up to your choices like a real man, commendable.
"In any case, Killua was not in control of his own actions," Kurapika reasoned. "Thus, he should not have been disqualified."
"That is mere speculation. There is no proof. There were no clear signs of manipulation," the Chairman denied calmly. "In fact, I would question the claim that he was hypnotized. I agree that the incident occurred after the battle between Leorio and Bodoro had begun. At that point, both fighters were evenly matched. Bodoro had more experience, but being injured, Leorio was the stronger. There was no need for Killua to interfere."
Kurapika frowned, and more people began to voice their opinion, each growing more annoyed than the next until the Chairman eventually got everyone to calm down. After that, he gave the bean man a chance to explain about the Hunter license.
"Then, we now declare the eight members here to be new Hunters!"
As I make my way out of the auditorium, when I looked over to se-

Finally it's over but wait a minute I just realized that I've received no additional quests during the whole hunter exam and that's been bugging me the whole time. Ariel sweetheart mind shedding some light on the topic.
Well master it's not that you haven't received quests it's the fact that they are all automatically accepted when received and filed in the quest log…
You mean to tell me that all this time quests are accepted automatically…and you didn't think to tell me this why?...you know what nevermind just set the quest acceptance to Manual cause I don't want to be forced a quest that will inevitably be my end. Anyway reward time.
Rewards Obtained
· x2 Legendary Gacha Tokens
· x2 Epic Gacha Tokens
· x1 Rare Gacha Token
· 10000 Gold
· Access to Hub world
Skills Obtained
Fictional Mimicry {Active} LV – Max
The ability to duplicate and combine any power, technique, skill and trait of fictional or non-existent characters. The user can duplicate and combine any power, technique, skill and trait of fictional or non-existent characters in the media or fictional works such as TV Show characters, Manga/Anime Characters as well as Game Characters, however the skill can only be used once every 6 months and some skill may require user to meet certain requirements.
Power Absorption {Active} LV – 1/10 {0%}
It's basically the power to absorb powers from others. Nothing more to say about that though, stealing their powers may result in some uncalled for effects such as body changes, power fluctuation, knowledge assumption and more. More often than not the abilities stolen will be temporarily shut down or weakened while adding more abilities on top of those stolen will result in stronger uses of the abilities.
Dimension Hop {Active} LV – MAX
This allows the user to traverse the multiverse, though it can only be used if certain requirements are met in the universe the user is currently located at. In time the user will be able to traverse the multiverse without limitations however the power of the user must reach a divine level before he is able to.

'Ariel'?
Yes Master?
Am not dreaming am I, everything am looking at is not some illusion to fuck with me, right?
Yes master I would have detected such an illusion if it was casted or placed on you, so what you are seeing is indeed reality.
Ohh ok, but holy fucking shit, holy fucking shit these rewards are fucking awesome, the skills are broken as hell, sure the limitations make it so I can't abuse them but all in good time. Fictional adaptation is one skill I thought of creating all on my own when I was a high enough level but this just helped my progress by a lot. The Dimension hop was expected as I knew that I have to meet certain requirements before I am able to make my next jump. Power absorption is welcomed and has a lot of potential if the situation arises that I can't duplicate and opponents abilities. Anyway I seemed to have levelled up four times thus putting me at level 81, 'Status'.

This times roll is way better than the last, The Crown of Infinity is Broken that's the only thing I can say about that 100% MP every 8 seconds Overpowered, The Legendary sword is both an awesome spin but a risky one as well unless I can get around the whole can't use any other weapon restriction I'll keep it on lockdown till then, The ring of Inferno, Body Of The Great Sage, Totem of the Phoenix all are hidden trump cards of their own. But hands down the best items here are the Infini-Cask Type RUM and the Divine Pillow, Infinite Drink and A mini portable bed sign me up.
You really are lazy aren't you Master
Ignoring that comment I open my inventory and equip the Ring Of Inferno, it was an obsidian coloured ring with a carving of a raging flame in the middle, placed right on my index finger opposite to my Imperial Arms.
Well now that I'm done with that what's Next.
Bodoro POV
Looking up at the ceiling of the white room, I wonder how I ended up here but soon remember I was utterly beaten by that chi-…Man beaten by that man. How he was still able to lose was still a shock to him since he was using nen as to give him the advantage but it seems it was not enough.
*Krrr*hearing the door open I look towards it to see who has let themselves in to my room only to stare in shock at the one who just entered, the very same man who he lost too.
Shiruba POV
Closing the door behind me I look towards the bed and see my whole reason of coming here, before our fight began when I used observe on him it stated he was a user of nen and it so happens that my reward for completing the hunters exam was a skill that will help me gain what I need without staying In this world for long, but for now it's time to put it to the test.
"Well now old man, it's seem you took quite the beating" I say while plopping myself on the chair beside his bed. Getting ready to perfom the test.
"And who do I have to thank for that" he said sarcastically, knowing full well the man is trying to get a rise out of him. Still he questions his intentions of being here.
Looking at his face he answers the unstated question "Well you see old man the reason I'm here is because you have something I want and I want to see if It's possible to get it through the method I have planned" I inform him while casting the [Sleep] spell on him as it does it's job and sends the man to the world of dream. Now time to test out my new skill. '[Power Absorption]' I think to myself as I place my hand on Bodoro's head as I feel some foreign energy flow through me, it feels…exhilarating so this is what pure power feels like. I am brought out of my high by a very familiar sound.
*Ding*
Power Acquired
[Nen] – LV 1/50
Nen ( ネン, Nen—lit. "Sense" or "Mind Force" in) is a technique that allows a living being to use and manipulate their own life energy (known as aura) the term "Nen" can also be used in conversation to refer to aura. A person capable of utilizing Nen is colloquially referred to as a "Nen user" (nōryokusha—lit. "ability person"), while those who cannot go by the designation "non-users" (ippanjin—lit. "ordinary person"). Because one can craft a great variety of Parapsychological Abilities through Nen, it is considered a dangerous power that is kept hidden from the public at large to maintain balance in society in the world of Hunter X Hunter.
'Seems I was worried for nothing as it has worked, thank god cause I was not waiting till the Heaven's Arena Arc just to unlock nen, no way. Now that my work here is done it's time to leave'. I stand up and walk out of the room making my way towards the exit of the building.
Now where to next. Hmmm let hit up a dungeon shall we,'[ID Create: Lizardmen]'.
(A/N: Yoo….Now I feel that this chapter was a little rushed but what can I say I had to re-do it from scratch but hey what can I say it is what it is.
