Chapter 5 - Waiting room

When we reach the base of the tower Killua and I look up at it and at the same time go.

[[Woah, that's tall]]: soren and killua

"Hehe"

Killua and I look at each other and laugh because we said the same thing at the same time.

[Well, do we go in then?]: soren

[Yeah, let's get this over with so I can go back home and play with my toys, I got some new ones]: killua

[Aww, lucky! Every time I ask for one I get 50 lashings]: soren

[I think that's because you cry when you don't get your way]: killua

[No I don't! I just stab who said no]: soren

"..."

[[Hahaha]]: killua and soren

[Well, let's head inside and sign up]: killua

[Okay!]: soren

We enter the building and see the receptionist talking to a potential contestant and giving him a number.

[Next please]: rep

Killua and I make our way to the counter to sign up, because we are 6 and not very tall she had to look over the counter at us.

[Will you be spectating? It's 1.000 Jenny per person]: rep

She looks at us and thinks we are here to watch.

[No, we are here to sign up for the Tower]: soren

"..."

She looks at us with looks of detest and worry, then she clears her face and starts to talk again.

[In this place people could die, you can't kill someone in the ring but if you take enough damage then you could die outside of the ring. Are you still interested in joining?]: rep

[Yeah, because we can go home till we reach the 200th floor. Dad's orders, so let us sign up]: killua

She then looks at us in contemplation, before she spoke again.

'Who would send their kids into a fight like that and tell them they can't come home till they reach and impossible height for those kids': rep

[Well if you must participate then here is your numbers]: rep

The representative gave us 2 numbers mine was 3589 and Killua's was 3590, then she sent us to the waiting room. When we got there we sat down and started to talk to each other.

[Hey, if we meet in the ring don't expect me to go easy on you]: soren

[Yeah, I was just going to say that to you as well]: killua

[This is going to be easy]: soren

[You got that right Ren]: killua

We started to get stairs toward us from the other contestants and we heard some snickers about how we were delusional.

[Boy's, if you keep saying words like that you will make us old men cry, so please keep it to yourself… Haha]: old guy

"Hahaha"

All the people in the room started to laugh at us, Killua started to look at me. When I saw his eyes he emitted a small bit of killing intent.

[Killua, don't worry about these guys, if you kill them we will be kicked out and then won't be able to return home]: soren

[Hahaha… did this kid just say kill us?... he is really funny, I haven't laughed like this in ages]: another old guy

[Your right Ren, They really aren't worth killing]: killua

When I calm Killua down the rom is still laughing at Killua and I, then an Older guy came over to us laughing.

[Haha… boy, what is your name?]: older guy

[Do you really want to know?]: soren

[Oh? Is it some kind of glamours name of a rich family? If so I would love to hear it and see what you come from to be so confident]: older guy

[Okay, but I warn you once you know there will be people sent to kill you, I will ask again, do you want to know?]: soren

[What could be so great about your family that I would die? Haha, you really know how to mess around kid]: older guy

[Okay… my name is Soren...Zoldyck]: soren

"Hahaha....."

The room had become silent once the name Zoldyck came out of my mouth.

[...Kid, you really shouldn't say that name, if they found out that a kid like you were trying to use that name they would dispatch someone to kill you. You are too young to die]: older guy

[But I'm not lying, and you will be dead by weeks end]: soren

[Ren, what did dad say about releasing the family name to the public, this sad sap really will die now]: killua

[Oh… crap, your right, sorry Killua. And also, I warned you Old man]: soren

The older guy looked at me and Killua in disbelief, once he had seen the way Killua was acting his face slowly changed to that of fear.

[No, I really didn't hear the name, what was it? No never mind I'll see you on stage maybe…]: older guy

The older guy had sweat pouring from his face when he saw mine and Killua's killing eyes, and had pretended to not hear the name.

[Oh, you didn't hear it? I can say it again if you need]: soren

[NO! I'm okay, I will be going now]: older guy

He was really scared now, I think I'm gonna mess with him some more.

[Killua! He doesn't want to play with us, I'm sad, I'ma go tell dad]: soren

As I get up from my seat to head towards the door I hear running from behind me.

[NOO! Young Master, wait, I'll play with you, just don't leave]: older guy

Yes, plan worked, now to make this guy regret how he treated me an Killua.

[No! "Sob" I'm leaving, I'm telling dad that someone bullied me and brother, then he will torture the said person]: soren

His face after I said that was priceless. He looked like he was shitting bricks, now I think I'll leave him alone, all the other guys in the room had started to mind their business when the name Zoldyck was said because Heavens Arena is in the same town as the Zoldyck mansion.

At that moment the Intercom came on and called 2 numbers.

{Will Contestant numbers 3589 and 2749 come to arena 3 and Contestant number 3590 and 3248 come to arena 2, thank you}
