Grace's POV

~Yaaaawwwwwwn~

That was good shut eye there. I wish I could sleep like that forever. Hm? Oh. It's 6:38 already now? Well, that means I have more time to walk a- what the?

Arms around me? Oh yeah! Kurapika and were talking a bit for a while and walked into another room to go to sleep. And I wonder why his hand is around me… WAIT! If his arms were around me and then… forget it. I used Nen on these clothes to conceal anything feminine, so even if he thinks that I'm a girl, I would say "Put your hand on my chest," and he think that I'm a male… or I have a flat chest… And that's the other reason why my clothes are heavy. Oh well. Anything could happen.

Carefully, I removed his warm arms off of me, allowing me to escape his embrace. I looked at the nearest window around to see how far we are from Trick Tower. But we still have about an hour and a half till we get there. I made a note to myself when a half hour past, I'll wake up Kurapika ASAP… but his blood type is AB… Another note to self, carefully wake him up… don't make him upset.

In the halls, I passed some rooms to find either Gon or Killua… THIS SHIP IS A MAZE FOR GOODNESS SAKE! I can't find anyone anywhere! I know it's early, but come on! Can I at least see where the heck Gon is at, please? I said please God, so where is he?!... Calling out to God won't work at all. Yeah, I'm Roman Catholic, and I do believe in God all the time, but sometimes, (meaning most of the time,) he wants me to do everything by myself. Well… I guess I have to find him.

… … … Snoring! That's Gon's snoring! He must be near by then. Oh wait. That's right. My sense of hearing is much more sensitive than any other humans, so it's just me. I can't believe I almost forgot that I'm a vampire, not a normal girl. Actually, since I'm here and going to the Third Phase, I am far from normal. Course, I'm not going to affect me at all. No matter if I'm a vampire, human, Kuruta, assassin, werewolf, anything at all, it won't change who I am. Nothing will change me. Person, animal, monster, demons, anything. I'm just that type of girl… or should I say, tomboy.

I kept following the sound of his snores that lead me to the room where he's currently at. I see a peaceful sleeping Gon lying on the floor. He's smiling at the very least. I couldn't help but smile at him. I wish that I was there to see their game play out, but I love making anything sweet. It's just in my nature. I guess I could ask him what happened. It might be different from the anime. Who knows?

As soon as the hour past, I found Killua taking a walk as well. Everyone's awake now and full of energy to take the Third Phase! (And it took me another half hour TO WAKE UP THE STUPID KURUTA!) We exit out of the ship, and took the first steps to Trick Tower… This is amazing! This anime is so awesome! I want to see it all!

Everyone was curious why there's nothing on the top of the tower. Bean then said, "Ahem. Everyone, the exam's Third Phase will begin here. At the top of trick Tower."

"Trick Tower?" One of the applicants hummed.

The little instructor continued. "To pass this phase, you must reach the tower's base alive. The time limit is seventy-two hours." He held his tiny hands up in front of his elbows for some reason unknown to everyone. "With that, we will now begin the Third Phase. I will pray for your success." As he explains the rest, I heard Leorio a bit shocked bout this exam, and saw Killua and Gon shrugged. Lippo must be real excited about these batch of examinees trying to get down from this tower. I am as well… but I have to keep these four safe and sound.

I started to look around for some trap doors that will at least lead us inside the tower first. Hm… the more steps I take, the more doors I find. And the drafty air is escaping from everywhere. These vampire senses should at least help me find the five doors so that fatty called Tompa won't try to get us disqualified.

"Sennosuke! Kurapika! Leorio! Come here!" Gon! I didn't expect him to find them that soon. Wow, Killua and Gon are really neat kids. We came to the two and then Gon bended down. "Look. I found a hidden door." He pressed on the door gently so it wouldn't completely open.

"I see now." Kurapika hummed as he put his fingers on his chin. "So we can descend by flipping the stones."

Leorio was rearing up to go. I love his enthusiasm, but there is a twist to some mysteries… guess I have to be the bearer of bad news. "Leorio, wait!" I stopped him before he does something stupid… again. "Do you think it's a bit too convenient?"

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Now it makes sense." Killua muttered. Everyone looked at him, and Gon is realizing what I said. Good job Killua! When it comes to common sense, you're second of the group… first is Kurapika… I don't really know because both of them are smarter than the average person except Kurapika knows more of… anything.

"That's why there's multiple doors everywhere." Gon concluded.

"And maybe that's why when I see someone fall in, the door they opened won't open again." I continued. "So we were either walking on used ones, or we were really bad on luck."

Finally getting to the idea, Kurapika said, "So you're saying that one door doesn't open after one opening? That makes sense, meaning it would be a bit too convenient for the other applicants."

I nodded, and Gon and Killua agreed with me. But they did explained there's six other hidden doors that wasn't opened… six… six… they… all lead to the same room… DEAR GOSH! DOES THAT MEAN THAT TOMPA…! Please… it can't be… not like this… I refuse to believe it! I refuse! He's going to screw us up and have fun with it! Why is the world so messed up?! And why of all people, the world has to mess with me?! I just don't freaking get it! The freaking world is always against me! Fudge. This will be a pain in the butt… unless… no, even if he is a jerk, I won't do anything. I have to keep up the nice act until then… then I'll beat him up.

We said our goodbyes and enter the tower but… it's dark and we see each other again! What a short farewell! We saw the sign were we have to put on the watches.

"You six," Gon read, "must follow the will of the majority to reach the goal."

"Six of us?" Leorio repeated. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

"Look… there are six stopwatches." We each grabbed our own and saw an X and an O button.

"Could it be that we won't b0e able to leave this room until another person drops in?" Kurapika asked to us. Yes… it is… and here some.

"That is correct!" Ladies and gentlemen, here's your favorite Blacklist Hunter in the Hunter Exam arc, Lippo! The prison warden here that keeps the most dangerous criminals of this continent.

"Who's that?!" Leorio shouted.

"Probable our Third Phase examiner." I answered coolly.

"Smart one you guys have. My name is Lippo," he introduce. When I watched this is Japanese, I do not understand why he 'Watashi' instead of 'Boku wa'. Watashi is for girls and Boku wa is for boys, right? "I am the prison warden here, and 405 is correct, I am your Third Phase examiner."

"Prison warded?" Kurapika asked to himself. This guy really needs to know to be a bit quieter. We can hear him from a mile away.

"Multiple routes through the tower have been prepared." He explained. "You have chosen the path of majority rule. Cooperation will be the key if you wish to clear this phase of the exam. One person's selfish behavior can derail an entire group. And you can't start until you have six members. Best of luck, gentlemen!"

I heard Leorio moaned. I would've done the same thing if we're going to be wasting time waiting for that jerk that's called a Rookie Crusher. I wish that someone else could drop down other than him. "We can't move until someone else arrives?" What do we do?"

And of course Kurapika told us the obvious option… to wait until someone arrives… I hate this stage. Someone is out to get me and I don't like it. At least I can feel the vibrations the applicants are making. I can tell them when someone is approaching.

We've been waiting for about three hours! When is he coming?! This is the longest three hours of my life! I was hoping that fate can change a bit and have him come here a bit early. I guess that was wishful thinking.

"Oh came on!" Yup. On cue. "It's been two hours… What if the others all took the other routes? Only a fool would still be at the top of the tower!"

"Leorio." I bumped in. It's only rational to me to come in this conversation, but Leorio's temper will get us in trouble. I have the same thoughts as he does when that Tompa tries to screw us up, but we still need him… I guess. "Even though this is a bad time to say it, but think about what will happen if a fool is still up there."

"What are you getting at!" he yelled. I would've done the same, but then shrug it off.

I continued. "I mean there might be a chance that an applicant will just fall…. I mean-" that's where I felt it. I looked up to feel and hear someone approaching us right now. There was a creak of light above us, but then… he dropped down.

"Good grief…"

While Gon's surprised it was him and the other three has an unamused looks on their faces, I was giving him a death glare. I could feel my eyes and nails became sharper than a sword itself, but I kept myself calm for the time being.

Once he put the watch on his wrist, the door automatically opened. "I see." Kurapika said. "So the doors appears once six people arrive and put on the stopwatches."

It says, "At this door, select O to open, X not to open." Leorio hummed to himself that the majority rules already begun. It's not too surprising since that Lippo did explain this is the majority rule route. "The answer should be obvious." We all pressed O, but that Tompa pressed X. The door opened.

Leorio was about to yell at one of us, but I place my hand in front of him to try to relax him. "Remember Leorio, this guy loves to mess around with rookies." I said as I pointed at the fatty next to me. "So try not to overreact when he tries to mess us up." I felt a smirk coming on my face. I see that Tompa is shaking like a scared little kitten that is about to be slit in the throat.

"Besides… after this phase, we can personally trash him." I allowed my eyes to glow red, just for Tompa to see. "You should go first because once I'm done, there will be nothing but little shreds of him left."

"Sennosuke!" huh? Gon gave me a scolding look. Why? "It isn't nice, so please don't." When I looked at Tompa again, he was nodding his head crazily. I was just messing around. "Besides, if he does try to mess us up, we'll be able to make it through."

We all enter through while I explain to them what will happen to anyone who gets in the way.

I didn't mean to sound that frightening. "Sorry Gon. I was just messing around. I didn't mean it. And please don't try to stop me if I do. You might get yourself hurt because of my bad temper."

"It's alright," Kurapika said. "You have a strong sense of justice. Though Leorio is a bit... less intellect than you, he has one too."

I laughed as soon as he growled at the Pretty-boy. These guys are really forgiving. I'm the luckiest girl on this planet to have friends like them.

Now we're at the left or right portion. Of course 4 out of 2 of us went right. I decided to tell Leorio instead of Kurapika, "It is said that people who actually go left tend to lose their way when they unconsciously chose left. And Gon." I looked at him for a moment. "Though your instincts are really good, you have to use your head a bit more. Ok?"

He just looked at me shocked. "H-how did you know?!"

I shrugged and explained to him the obvious answer. He doesn't really uses his head, but his gut. The others aren't really that surprised at all. We headed to the right to see what's our next challenge will be. To my surprise, Leorio took it a lot more calmly that I thought. Wonder why. We were traveling through twist and turns and guess what. We're at the field where we're going to face the prisoners. And there's a new one as well… for this fight, I have to cautious, or else it will be my own downfall.

The baldy revealed himself to be the first one out there. Lippo's voice came from the speakers explaining the rules of this part of the route we picked. The Hunter Committee also allowed them to be the examiners as well. He said that if we get the most wins, we'll go on, but if they win, we have to stay here for the rest of the time until this phase of the exam will be over. And a ty? He said that we have to stay here until half the time runs out. More… waiting… I can't do that. I waited already! Please let me win God!

And everyone knows what's next. Tompa went to the stage just to give up. For a moment when he's at the stage, Leorio was actually worried about him. Even after I said he was a Rookie Crusher. Even so, I would actually be worried about him as well… yeah, he's a sick guy, but I don't want any sort of bloodshed… no more… not after what happened…

Yup… going to give up. A 'mass' surrounded the two of them to convince the group but then. "I give!"

Everyone was pretty awestricken by this. I face palmed myself again. This is the first time in centuries that I faced palm myself in one week. What a disgrace.

"D-did he just say he gives up?" Poor Gon.

"M-maybe he meant "Give me a sec"?" Denial Leorio.

"What did you say?" The prisoner asked again.

Tompa had the smirk on his smug face. "You win if I admit defeat, right? I give up… I lose!"

I feel anger rising from Leorio. But I put my hand in front… he relaxed. I can't believe that he calmed so easily, but then I said, "It was actually good that he gave up."

"WHAT?!"

"If their goals were to waste our time by bickering to us or something else, then he made the right choice. Killua, explain the rest." I see him make his own smirk as well.

"That bald guy," he said, "was probable a former soldier or mercenary. Had you fought him, he would have started by crushing you throat, so you couldn't have given up. Then he would have tortured you without killing you for the rest of the remaining time.

His face was so blue! Haha! Nice one Killua! You always know how to make me laugh! You have to love that assassin! Man! His face is so funny! But I have to keep it in, or else everyone will hear.

"My plan was disrupted." Bendot sighed, "I was going to take my time punishing him…"

Guess it is Candle Guy's turn. His cuffs were released and he shown as a skinny man with long hair, covering his left eye. I think his name is… Sedokan! That's right! His name is Sedokan! 149 years for serial bombings.

Ok, we need four more wins to pass to the next room. And like a good boy, Gon raised his hand for him to volunteer to get us another point.

We looked at the 149er to see him not a threat, but he is pretty sly. "The next opponent doesn't look too strong." Killua said.

Leorio then said something to always go by. "But you can't let your guard down. He's still a criminal."

Gon agreed to Leorio's advice. Actually… if you actually think about it, if you already know the two candles were tampered, you should have the longer one because it will give you enough time to… Gon… I hope you know what I'm thinking… but he will figure it out on his own. He's a bright kid. There's nothing to worry about. Good luck, Gon.
