Hi there! Yoshida Megumi-chan on charge! Here is the new chapter!
Vio: As if that isn't obvious.
Megu: Hey!
Vio: Anyway, don't you have something important to tell your readers?
Megu: Oh, yea! So, the two combos from the previous chapter aren't really going to work unless you have some superhuman strength, so don't try them, please.
Vio: Leave them be and on with the fucking story!
Megu: I told you not to insult my story!
Vio: Not listening…
Megu: Why you little purple freak!
*a girl pops up out of nowhere*
Sam: Whoa that was scary.
Vio & Megu: Sam?
Sam: Oh! Anime freak and Vampire freak! Why are you here?
Vio & Megu: That's our line!
Sam: I am just searching for Sasuke. SAAAASUUUKEEEEE! WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU?
Megu: For the sake of our sanity, Sasuke, do not answer this. Anyway, I hope you would enjoy!
Floor X Free X Falling
Arisu's POV:
We were dropped on that big stone tower and I rolled my eyes. The examiners sure had a liking in heights, huh? I'm glad Mana can think properly when she's this high now. Honestly, I feel somewhat guilty that I pushed her off the cliff. But if I could choose between a whining little sister who is single, and mad little sister with the most innocent, forgiving and nature-loving boy (Gon), I would choose the latter, of course. Oops, spacing out again. I bonked my head with my fist, waiting for the others' reactions about this phase.
"Do we have to climb down?" Leorio asked. "That'll be impossible." A typical Leorio, if you ask me. Throwing the phrase 'It's impossible' left and right.
I scoffed. 'Yeah, right. Maybe for you, but not for us. All we have to do is to jump off and land on our feet.'
"Maybe for you." A man suddenly spoke, mimicking my thoughts. "But for me, a professional climber, it'll be nothing!"
'Pfft, confident much? Well, it's not like I can say that, but I'm not cocky… Most of the time…'
The man started climbing down, much to everyone's amazement. Of course, that idiot Leorio just had to state it.
"Uwaaa, he really is climbing down…" I rolled my eyes.
"Duh, he is roasting a pig." I told him. Leorio glared at me but I just ignored him.
'No, wait a minute.' I frowned. 'He DID roast a pig, just not now. Does that mean I'm right about him 'roasting a pig?' But I said in present tense… But it could be interpreted either way, right? Seriously, I don't know! I don't have any logic!'
I snapped out of it when the man screamed. He was taken by a monster that strangely looked like a baby with wings, and it ate him. I wrinkled my nose in disgust.
"Holy shit, that must have tasted awful." I commented and Leorio – why always him! – looked at me in disbelief.
"He was just eaten in front of you! You must be just a little scared at least, right?" The teen asked me. I rolled my eyes.
"Dude, I and my sister have tortured people to death. Ya know, like taking out their insides while they are still consciousness or crushing half of their bones because if we crush all of them, they'll die, all that shit. And you think I'll be scared from that," I snorted. "Your view of women has to change or you'll be a goner. That's the real world like, kid."
Leorio stepped back, as if he was face to face with a beast. Hmm, but no matter if you were backing away slowly or just plainly running away from me, if I wanted to kill you, you would be dead.
"What's up, Leorio?" Mana, who was now behind him, asked. He jumped up in surprise and backed away again, this time from my sister, with a scared face shown. He was looking like he would piss his pants any minute!
'If this is the reaction I'm going to receive every time I tease him like that, I may become addicted. Aah, normal people's fear smells so good~!'
I shifted my eyes to Leorio again, who was currently trembling in his boots. I chuckled soundlessly. This was sooooo amusing!
"M-Mana…" he trailed off, sweating bullets. "S-Sorry, didn't see you there."
"Well duh, you didn't see me because I didn't want you to see me." She rolled her eyes and the sissy-pants squeaked. Mana frowned. "Seriously, buster, what's up with you? You look like you saw a serial killer." I sighed.
'They say that ignorance is bliss, but I don't think it's meant for situations like that. Honestly, I really don't understand how Mana's mind works. If it works at all, of course.'
"That's because he saw a serial killer, stupid. Two, actually." I reminded her, mentally praying to whatever God there existed that she will somewhat understand trivial things. Or that she would ;earn how to read the mood. But of course it didn't happen. She just 'ooh'ed and nodded frantically.
"You're worried about the first time we met, right? When I killed those people." Mana asked and he nodded, shaking. She sighed. "Chill, man. I'm not gonna bite you or anything." I sighed again.
'It's not likely that he'll chill because you pretty much told him about these kills without any regret at all, as if you've killed some bugs. Of course, you did exactly that, but Leorio doesn't need to know that.'
"You're not so important for us to kill you, if that can help you." I reminded him, trying to ease the tension between them. While it seemed to piss him off, my statement actually made him more relaxed. I rolled my eyes. Man, this uncle is no fun. He actually just agreed that he wasn't anything special and that probably no one but us five would care if he died.
'Now, where are these three out of the five I mentioned?' Surprisingly (note the sarcasm), they came out of nowhere, squatting and looking at the floor.
"Mana! Arisu! Come here!" Gon called for us with Killua at his side. We ran up to them. But I didn't fail to notice that my lil' sis's name was before mine. Hmm, someone has a favorite already?
"Hurry up, slowpokes! We found something." Killua told us and I snorted.
"What, found a secret door in the floor?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
"Uwaaah! As I thought, Arisu is so smart! How did you figure it off?" Gon asked me, grinning. I froze.
'Wait a minute, they found a secret door in the fucking floor for real? What's with this Hunter Exam, is so fricking difficult to think logically! No, wait, I can't think logically so it'll be my advantage? But there are times I actually can nail it… what the hell?! I don't know if I have logic or not! Oh, forget it, I'm giving up. Oh, shit, I'm spacing out again.'
Suddenly, Killua was in front of my face. I jumped back on instinct. Shit, me and my spacing out.
"Hey, stupid girl." The same silver assassin from a little while ago addressed me. I just glared in response.
"What, Granny?"
"We found five doors and we are wondering if you would come." He answered, paying no mind to my comment. I nodded.
"Yeah, I'll go too. I and Mana are smaller than you, so we might be able to pass thought one door." He nodded and ran to Gon, probably to tell him. The dark-haired boy's expression lightened up and he fist-pumped. I smiled. Gon and Mana would certainly make an adorable couple~!
Speaking of my airhead… I looked around. Where the fuck was sh- oh, here she is, jumping like crazy. My eyes widened as she closed to an unused door.
"Stop jumping, you stupid maggot!" I yelled, but it was too late. Mana jumped on the door, causing it to open.
"Uh-oh" was the only thing she said before she fell in. I heard a low 'thump' and someone cursing. Well, if you could call 'Holy cheese and milk that hurts' cursing. I shook my head and walked forward.
"Arisu, don't-" Kurapika didn't have the chance to finish his sentence as the rock under me suddenly disappeared.
'What the-?'I was cut off when my bottom part connected with the cold, slippery stone in the what appeared to be room. I got up and rubbed my butt.
"It's not like it hurts but it's still unpleasant." I murmured and then everything clicked. "HOLLY MOTHERFUCKING HELL I JUST FELL FROM ONE OF THOSE STUPID TRAPDOORS! AND WHAT'S WORSE, I DID IT EVEN AFTER I SAW HOW MANA FELL! My reputation is disappearing, I can feel it! As well as my pride, actually. And with my sanity. Who the shell talks to herself?" I sighed and looked around.
It was a plain old, stone room. It looked… very plain and stonish-ey.
'No, wait' I frowned 'is stonish-ey even a word? Hmm, that's a difficult question. Oops, I'm spacing out again.' I hit my head with my fist and looked around more carefully.
Er, there was a monitor… and a camera which was tracking my every move… Not too off the ordinary. I've seen and done worse.
"So, what am I supposed to do?" I asked the camera. And felt pretty strange. For both my surprise and horror, it replied.
"Hello there. You have to just pass the many obstacles I have placed on your road." A man's voice sounded in the room.
"Um… okay? When do I start?" I questioned him. Seriously, this was getting on my nerves already. I just wanted to pass the stupid test and go to sleep! Was it too much of a wish? Of course it was.
'WOW, Arisu, don't answer your questions yourself. As they say, talking to yourself is the first step to becoming insane.' I facepalmed the moment I ended that sentence. 'I already talk to myself, stupid! And insulted myself even. Gosh, there is no way it's gonna get stranger from now on.'
"Well, how about you start now?" The wall (?) opened, revealing a pathway. I sighed.
'Man, this seriously sucks. If I say that my life was way more normal before I got to take this exam, I honestly don't think I'll be lying.'
"Here goes nothing." I murmured and entered the stone hallway, intending to hurry up and clear this stupid challenge before it goes too out of control.
Of course, I just had to be so horribly wrong.
Megu: I'M SORRY! I KNOW IT'S TOO SHORT, BUT THIS YEAR IN SCHOOL IS SUPER IMPORTANT! I will update when I can, so don't blame me for the hyper-late update.
Sam: Yeah, this year's important.
Vio: I sincerely apologize for any troubles that incompetent author above was causing you.
Megu: Please forgive me! We will see each other (I at least hope we will) very soon, with my new chapter! And, by the way, I really have a reason why I made Arisu so 'overpowered' and why she's a spitting image to Killua, but I just can't tell you now, because it will ruin my story. So please grit your teeth and bear with my 'Mary-Sueish' character, until I can finally develop her properly. Oh, not to forget Mana, too. Then, I guess we'll see you later! Bye!
