Thank you for review and viewing my story! So please continue enjoy.


Amaris scowled at the old memories resurfacing as he glared at the cooking stations. Grumbling few swear words under his breath as he listened to the examiner explaining the details of the test. Green eyes peered over to the applicants, gauging their reactions to the cooking test.

He felt the killing intent emitting from Hisoka which freaked out Kei which Amaris calm the half-wolf down as he petted him. As the giant man explain his favorite food is pork and it was found in the forest.

Green eyes gained feral gleam as a faint trace of dark smile on her face. He follow his friends as the applicants scattered to the forest.

The group looked for the pigs until Gon slid down the slope of the grassy hill along with Killua, Amaris, Leorio, and Kurapika following him. They had found the pigs.

Amaris glanced at the pigs with the critical eyes. She can tell the large nose that covered the forehead is very strong. The pigs noticed them which promoted the chasing. Kei jumped into the tree branch while Amaris leapt into the air as they dodged away from the pigs.

As Gon evaded, the pig hit into the tree and the apple fell on its forehead, making the pig passed out. The applicants noticed that and the grins appeared on their faces.

Amaris split from his friends as he went with Kei to find the weak link in the pig herd. They both found the old pig and looked at each other with smirks on their faces. Kei start to stalk behind the pig as Amaris caught the pig's attention.

The pig saw him and start to snort angrily as he taunt the pig. He start to run quickly as the pig follow the black-haired boy. Amaris smirked as he leapt into the air as Kei managed to sink his teeth into the back legs as he torn it off, rendering the pig's ability to walk.

He took out his white bo staff and knocked the pig out as Kei torn the throat, effectively killing the pig. He scrambled his bo staff into small size and put into his shorts pocket. Kei clean himself by the near source of river and followed Amaris as he is carrying the pig back to the cooking station.

He looked over to where his friends are and winced at their attempts in cooking. He let out a sigh as he draw his dagger from his thigh and slit the pig's stomach open. Not bothered by the blood, Amaris took out the bones and organs, thanks to the knife sharp enough to cut through the bones. He threw the marrow bone to Kei, who caught it and start to eating the bone.

He took a moment to recall few of the recipes and decided on few of them. He start the stove up, placing the large pot on the stove, and threw the organs in there.

He process to cut up the entire pig with various type of kitchen knives and threw the brain, heart, and eyes to Kei, despite his small stature and mix-breed, who have a stomach that are like a black hole. Kei cheerfully eating the organs which made the applicants feeling like they want to puke into the sinks badly.

Amaris threw in the spices and seasonings as he is done with cooking the pork. He grabbed the large plate for Buhara and small plate for Menchi. He stood there as Menchi were surprised by the level of cooking which shouldn't possible with the young boy here.

Few comments on his cooking and Amaris shrugged his shoulders as he turned around back to them. He packed up the remaining meat and bones for later in the plastic containers and placed them in his bag. Amaris listened to Menchi explained that least seventy-one applicants passed and part two of second Phase had start.

Menchi told the applicants she want the dish which is the sushi. His friends are confused and the applicants are, too. Amaris knew what it is by reading the books on the culture.

He smacked his forehead with his hand at Leorio's brief moment of stupidity as he burst out few words. He also ran into the forest and stopped for a moment.

He closed his eyes to listen for the source of water and picked it up in the northern direction. He quickly followed it to see the large lake. He sat down as he laid down his bag and took out the fishing pole. He casted the line and dug it deep into the ground to hold it.

Amaris took off his blue quartz choker as the magic faded away. He took off his shirt and tank top, revealing his unhealthy skinny build. Stomach slightly sunken in, ribs can be seen, and arms and legs are very skinny. Old scars, burns, and cuts are all over his body as the results of his relatives and the place he still have nightmares about. He stared into the reflection as he pushed his hair back, showing the slight indention on middle of forehead close to the hairline and thin silver antenna connector on the left side of temple to his ear.

He scowled angrily as he hit the water with his hand, making the ripples on the reflection. He put on the choker, shirt, and top back on. He sat down as he decide to rummage through his bag until his hand hit something large and took out the large box. He tilted his head in confusion and saw the note attached by the tape.

He ripped the note from the box and saw the words written on it.

It said, 'To the child of moon and magic.'

Amaris opened the note and read it.

Hello, Amaris,

I am the Mother Magic. I know you are confused, right. I will explain to you. You see, I decide to wake up your magical creature early for few reason. One is I know one day you will take one foot in the Wizarding World. That's good thing you knew few things about it even I am not happy you had to learn the hard way. Second is the person who ruined your life along the countless others will try to control you. You know the certain person I am talking about. Ok, I can feel your anger right now as I am speaking. Relax and take a deep breath. Third is you need your powers as your backup when the shit goes south. The box in your hands are your clothes and few pieces of jewelry. You are going to need them for the formal events as part of your heritage. That's all I have to say. Good luck.

Mother Magic

P.S The crystals are modified for your use.

Amaris destroy the note by ripping it up and threw it into the lake. He open the lid and blinked in surprise at the sight of lovely clothes, few shoes, and several accessories.

Long sleeve dresses in colors of dark blue, peacock, and lavender, few white blouses, smock style sleeveless dresses in colors of deep wine, black, and rich purple, few kimonos, obijime, obi, black tights, white stockings and socks, high and low black heels, white ankle boots, silver headband with four small dark blue crystals, small crystals of various colors, silver tube-like hair ornament, and few pieces of gold jewelry.

He closed the lid of the box and put it away as he grabbed the fishing pole when it start to move. He pulled the fish out of the water and choked on air to his horror at the not-so-normal fish. It had a curved horns on either side of the head, human-looking eyes, and human teeth. It creeped him out as it gave him the toothy grin.

Amaris destroyed the fishing pole as he snapped the fish's neck in a mercy kill. He left the forest and back to the cooking station. He placed the fish on the counter as Kei stared at the fish in horror.

That fish should not have a damn human-like eyes or teeth! Kei whined softly as he spoke with Amaris using the telepathy through their bond.

Amaris's lips quirked up in a amused smile as he grabbed the kitchen knife as he did the cooking the best he can. He added few seasonings to the sushi not to overwhelming but rather tasteful in a way. He grabbed the plate and handed it to Menchi. He walked away, not caring about the comments.

He pushed himself to sit on the counter of the cooking station. Amaris grabbed the music player from the bag, placing one earbud into his ear, and start playing softly. He opened open of his eyes as he listened to Menchi angrily talking to someone on the phone, saying none of them passed.

The black-haired boy bared his teeth in anger. Nails sharpened to claws on the left hand and gone the next as he heard the whirring sound which he is familiar with. He looked up to see the airship with Hunter Association logo on it. He saw a small shadow jumping out of the airship.

A blur came down and threw up the dust cloud for a moment. It faded away to show the elderly man with ponytail, beard that look like is it just dipped into a ink pot, white men's traditional kimono, and tengu geta.

Amaris's eyes widened in shock before smoothing his face with calm expression on his face. He put another earbud in order not to listen the rest of the conversation.

He got off the counter to follow his friends from behind as the group went into the airship for a different test. The airship got on the top of the mountain that was split in the middle. Menchi pointed down the split. Amaris went down into a crouch, looking down to see the spider webs in different directions that are holding the eggs dangling from the web. Menchi went to get the egg, wait for the wind to push her up into the air as she grabbed the spider eagle egg, and landed on the mountain.

He grinned with excitement.

"Finally something more fun!" Amaris yelled in joy as he pumped both fists in the air.

He yelped in joy as he jumped off the mountain in the same way as Killua.

He grabbed the spider web as he hanged next to Killua. He listened for the direction of the wind with his ears. He glanced down at few applicants who decided to get the eggs without regarding to wait for the wind to pick them up and knew their chance of survival isn't good.

As Gon mention to let go, they let go of the webs as they snatched the eggs and the updraft picked them up. Amaris landed on the ground with a silent thud as he held the egg and dumped it into the cauldron.

He bit into the egg and moaned happily at the delicious taste as he give it to Kei who is gobbling down with gusto.

The night fell as the airship is flying through the sky. The applicants were reduced down to 43 people.

Amaris let out a quiet yelp-like yes as he followed Gon and Killua to explore the airship as Kei decide to get some rest.


The examiners gathered in the room to eat as they were discussing about the applicants.

"You know #406 is interesting." Menchi spoke. "I never seen anyone at young age could be decent in cooking especially with the pork dishes."

"I agree." Satotz replied.


Amaris sneezed twice as he rubbed his nose in confusion. Someone might had talk about him.

He is eating his chicken leg while sitting on the bench, looking to the city in the distance. Listening to Gon and Killua talking as Killua mention that his parents are assassins, Amaris threw the leg into the nearby trash can. He felt a brief flash of killing intent as the boys reacted to it and they look behind them to see no is there.

Next thing they know Netero is walking down as they turn around as he chatted with them. Amaris glared at him as he spoke to them.

He knew it was him that set them off with the KI.

Amaris perked up in interest as Netero offered the boys to play with him and if they win, he will give them the title of hunter. He is very interested.
