"extrapolating from historical data this exam is usually 4 km course,my calculations suggest that we are nearing the goal , " thought Nicolas. "I underestimated the hunter exam , every person is a monster it is a gathering of monster,"he thought while huffing and puffing for o2.. "hey wait kid!,"leorioshouted. 'hmm,"he said. "u should give the hunter exam some respect!" he shouted. "what do u mean? ," the boy asked. "why are you using a is cheating!,"he replied. "why" again. "Why?" the boy asked.
Leorio got really angry and yelled "This is an endurance test!" "No, it isn't." Ran and Gon said at the same time. "Gon! Ran ! What are you saying?" Leorio yelled. "The examiner only told us to follow him." Gon said. "We weren't told to that we had to run." Ran added smirking. "Who's side are you on, eh!" Leorio yelled.
The boy on his skateboard slowed down a bit next to Gon and Ran. "Hey, How old are you guys?" the boy asked. "I'm 12 years old." Gon said, "same ", said Ranstaring at The boy.
He jumped off his skateboard in style. "Guess I'll run too." the boy said. "Wow! That was cool!" Gon said in amazement. "I'm Killua." the boy said. 'I'm Gon!" Gon said in excitement. "ran"ran said.
Natsumi was running next to Kurapika, neither said a word. They were focusing on running enjoying each other company. Ran had noticed Leorio had lagged behind, But she didn't do anything until they heard his briefcase drop. Thats when Ran and Gon began to slow down. They stopped and looked at Leorio behind them. Killua had stopped as well. "Hey, forget him. Let's get going." Killua said. 'Did he really just say that?' Ran thought. 'How could someone be so inconsiderate?' "Screw this." they all heard Leorio mumble. "I'GONNA BECOME A HUNTER! DAMN IT ALL!" Leorio yelled bolting pass them. Gon smiled widely and used his fishing rod to pic up Leorios brief case. "Cool!" Killua admired as Gon caught the brief case. "Let me try that later." Killua said as they began to run again. "Me too!" Kyuto said. "If you let me try your skateboard, okay?" Gon asnwered.
"You guys wanna race to see who finishes first?" Killua suggested. "Sure." Gon answered. "The loser has to buy dinner." Gon added. ' but there is no choice.' Ran thought. "Okay! You're on!" Ran said. "Ready. Go!" Gon said as they took off. Ran was going the same speed as Gon and Killua,.
"Leorio, Are you okay?" Kurapika asked as Leorio caught up with him and natsumi . "Just look at me." He asnwered. "I realized that i can keep going if i don't worry about how stupid i look!" Kurapika then took off his tabard and stuffed it in his bag. Natsumi guessed that he was following Leorio's example, then she took off her jacket and tied it around her waist.
"Leorio. I have a question." Kurapika said. "What? Is this too easy for you, Kurapika?" Leorio questioned. "Talking just wastes energy." "Are you really trying to become a hunter for the money?" Kurapika asked. Leorio looked at the ground. "You aren't, right? We've only been together for a few days, but i know you better than that. Sure, you have a nasty attitude, and you aren't very bright." Kurapika started. Leorio looked so pissed off. "But you're not a shallow person. I've seen many who live for money. You're nothing like them." Kurapika said. "You and your logic." Leorio said. "Scarlet Eyes." Kurapika suddenly said. Natsumi looked at him curiously. "Thats why the Kurta were targeted." Kurapika continued. Leorio seemed caught off gaurd by this, but Natsumi just listened intently. "We Kurta are known for our unique scarlet eyes. When our emotions are heightened, Our eyes turn scarlet, as thought on fire. The eyes in that scarlet state are considered one of the seven most beautiful colors in the world. They command high prices on the black market."
"That's why the Phantom Troupe attacked you?" Leorio asked. "They took every single eye from my brethren's corpses. I can still hear their darkened eyes crying out in anguish. I swear i will capture the Phantom Troupe! And i will reclaim the eyes of my clan!" Kurapika said.
'He's the last one of the Kurta? That's a sad story. Poor Kurapika, he must be so lonely.' Natsumi thought . "Thats why you want to become a hunter?" Natsumi asked. "Yeah, if i become a hunter with rich clients, I'll gain access to black market information." Kurapika said. "But you'll have to swallow your pride and and become the kind of hunter you despise." Leorio said matter-of-factly.
Kurpika looked determined "The blow to my pride is nothing measured against the suffering my clan endured." Natsumi and Leorio looked at Kurapika concerned.
"What about you, Natsumi ?" Leorio asked, hoping that she would have a simple cause for taking the exam. Natsumi thought for a moment. "Someone sealed my memories so I hope I could find someone who knows me," explained Natsumi. Kurapika gave her a warm smile. "Sorry, but i have no noble cause." Leorio spoke in a care-less tone. "Huh?" Kurapika said. "I'm just after money." Leorio half-yelled. "Don't lie!" Kurapika and Natsumi argued. "I'm not lying!" Leoio yelled.
"You really believe you can buy everything with Money?" Kurapika asked angrily. "You bet! For the right price, you can buy not only treausures, but dreams, hearts, and even peoples lives!" Leorio shouted. "Take that back, Leorio! If you're insulting the Kurta, I won't forgive you. " Kurapika yelled back at him. "Why? I'm telling the truth. If I'd had money, my friend wouldn't have died!" Leorio yelled. Kurapika and Natsumi were shocked. Leorio realised what he had said and looked away. "An illness?" Kurapika said trying not to upset him.
"It was a treatable diesease. The problem was that the operation costs a fortune. I was naive! I thought i could become a doctor! I wanted to cure kids who have the same diesease, and be able to tell them that it's free of charge! Then, i could have told his parents, too! That was my dream. What a joke!" Leorio said with tears in his eyes. "Turns out that to become a doctor, you need even more money! Got it? The world runs on money. So i want money!"
"See you at the Goal, Kurapika!" Gon said as he, Killua, and Ran caught up with them. "Catch you later, Old Man!" Killua said, causing Ran to laugh. "I'm not old! I'm a teenager just like you guys!" Leorio yelled. Everyone's eyes widened as they froze in utter confusion. "Huh?" Gon asked amazed. "NO WAY!" Ran said.
"I'm impressed that you guys can keep up with me." Killua suddenly said as, they passed some guys fallen on the floor. "Really?" Gon said petting the back of his head. "Or maybe it's just that everyone else is too slow. Man, The Hunter Exam is gonna be a breeze. That's no fun." Killua sighed. "Hey, Why do you guys wanna become Hunter's?" Gon asked. "Me? I'm not really interested in becoming a hunter. I heard the exam was supposed to be really hard, So i thought it'd be fun. But this is dissapointing." Killua asnwered. "What about you Gon?" Killua asked. "Well, My dad s a hunter. So i want to become a Hunter, like my dad." Gon said as the group move to the right, avoiding a guy laying down on the stairs. "What kind of hunter is he?" Ran asked. "I don't know." Gon asnwered. Killua laughed and said "Thats kinda wierd!"
"No it isn't!" Ran suddenly said. "Oh really?" Killua asked narrowing his eyes at Ran.. "my sister died while protecting me. Her last words were pls be a hunter this is my only wish she said but I do not know what kind of hunter was she." Ran answered. Gon smiled at her and said "I was raised by Mito-San, So i've only seen my dad in pictures." "Who's Mito-San?" Killua and Ran asked. "Aunt Mito." Gon added. "When he was 12, my dad took the Hunter Exam. He passed and became a hunter, Then he left the island. I want to find out why he chose to be a Hunter over being with me."
"o that's sad," ran thought . Killua and Gon picked up the pace and sprinted towards the exit. Ran did the same.
"Goal!" The three kids yelled stepping over the final step. "Yay! I win!" Gon exclaimed. "What are you talking about? I was faster-" Killua said ."I was faster!" Gon said. "Wrong!" Killua argued turning to Gon. Ran just stood watching them fight. "Ran!" Gon turned to her. "Who was faster?" he asked her hope-fully. "Don't drag me into this!" Ran yelled. "I will treat u both so stop fighting!"she said while giving them a shiver down their spines.
