Chapter 3: Hunter exam, Phase one
Kagome's Pov
A loud buzz pierced through the air in the enclosed room. A weird looking guy who was wearing a suit and had a moustache came 'floating' down. "The call for applicants is now closed. I announce the start of the hunter exam," the moustache dude said. Everyone made way for him to land on the ground. After what he said. I felt everyone tensing up even more. "Please come this one. Let me remind all first. The hunter exam is very difficult. If any of you is unlucky or incapable, you may get injured or even die. Only those of you who don't made the risk may follow." After hearing what the man said, I heard a faint cry saying help me. I looked for the source of the voice but Killua started walking. I quickly caught up with him. I noticed Killua staring at a boy with long spiky black green tipped hair. I did not know there would be another person around our age.
"Hey are you going to use your skateboard? Cause I am," I asked Killua as I took out my skateboard. We exchanged a few quick looks before keeping quiet again. This is really awkward, I sighed mentally.
As Killua and I skated quietly on our skateboard, I noticed a man who was wearing a blue suit running ahead of us. He seemed to have some trouble running. He will most likely give soon, either that or end up looking like a fool but still pass. I was about to share my thoughts with Killua when we separated cause we were about to crash into the man. Killua went right while I went left. As we skated past him, the man suddenly shouted,
"Hey! Wait up kid!" Killua tilted his head towards him. "You should show the hunter exam more respect," he continued, this time directing the sentence to me.
"Whatever do you mean?" both killua and I said together.
"Why are you two using a skateboard? That's cheating!"
"Why?" Killua replied.
"This is an endurance test!"
"No it isn't!" I turned my head towards the source of the sound.
"Gon, what are you saying?" so the name of that kid is Gon huh? I said in my head.
"The examiner only said to follow him, Leorio," Gon replied. Both Killua and I slowed down till we were beside Gon.
"How old are you?" Killua asked, clearly ignoring Leorio's shouting about whose side Gon was on. "Twelve years old." Hmm… that's my age too. Cool! Suddenly, Killua stepped on his skateboard and did a small trick with it, catching with his hand, saying,
"I guess I will run too then."
"Hey don't leave me out too!" I quickly added and did the same thing as Killua before running side by side with Gon. The black haired boy let out a loud wow.
"I'm Killua," killua said to Gon. Gon introduced himself, leorio and Kurapika too before I introduced myself too as Kirito. We continued running in silent.
After running in awkward silence for some time, I tried to break the silence. Keyword, tried. "Erm… great day right guys? I mean, blue sky, clear weather, nice right?" I saw Gon look at me with a grin on his face while Killua giving me a face that says, 'seriously man?' "What?" I said holding my hands up.
"You are brilliant at starting a conversation. True genius," my eye twitched upon hearing Killua's sarcasm. But, I ignored it. I noticed Leorio was slowing down. I slowed down too, wondering if Leorio was alright. Out of the blue Leorio suddenly started sprinting forward. He stripped himself till his chest was bare, only leaving a tie there to 'cover up' himself.
"I am going to pass this test no matter what!" Leorio grunted as he dashed forward. I sweat-dropped upon seeing that. I noticed Gon staring at Leorio's dropped briefcase. Gon took out his fishing pole and fished up Leorio's briefcase.
"Cool!" both Killua and I sayed.
*Timeskip to near the end of the tunnel*
After discussing about Gon's dream to meet his father and stuffs, we continued running in silence.
"Hey Killua, Kagome, want to have a race? Losers have to buy winner dinner," Gon suggested. Killua and I exchanged a look first before nooding our head in agreement. We ran up the stairs quickly before shouting, "GOAL!" as we existed the tunnel. After that, we started arguing about who are the two losers and who is the winner. Gon asked Satotz-san if he knew who was the winner.
"I believe all of you crossed the finishing line together at the same time. However I did notice the young lady cross the finish line faster and earlier," Satotz-san replied after thinking for a moment. I did a little victory dance while Gon sighed in sadness and Killua giving his death glare. I gave the both of them a peace sign as the rest of the examines arrived.
As Satotz-san told us the rules for the second part for the first exam, we heard someone shouting from the back of the group.
"That person is a fake. He is a fraud! He isn't the real proctor. I am the real proctor!" a man with hazel-brown hair screamed out from behing of us. Everybody started question who the real proctor is. Leorio stood forward and asked if the man had any proof. The man threw a bad onto the floor and pointed at the contents of the bag, explaining stuff about the man-face ape inside the bag. I closed my eys and slipped my hands inside my jackets pockets. I did not really care about all this. I noticed Killua and Gon tense upabout the man-face ape inside the bag. I closed my eys and slipped my hands inside my jackets pockets. I did not really care about all this. I noticed Killua and Gon tense up beside me and I let out a sigh. Why is everyone so tense up? This is just a exam.
Cliffhanger!
