Chapter 8 - Hunter Exam Part 1

After I sit down next to Killua, he starts up the console and I grab a controller.

[Hey Killua, at the rate we are going we will reach floor 200 and it hasn't even been 1 week]: soren

[Yeah, so do you want to finish sooner?]: killua

[No. the opposite actually, I want to lose a couple of matches to stay in the 100's so we don't half to go home yet]: soren

[But we won't make any money]: killua

[I know, but do you really want to go home where there are no fun to be had and no games to be played?]: soren

[Yeah, I guess you're right. I will win the next couple of matches and then lose a couple]: killua

[Yeah, I will do the same]: soren

Killua and I had done that routine for 2 years. Over that time I read and learned everything I could from the Basic and Beginner Nen books.

'System, can you show me my status?'

[Wow, I haven't checked my status in quite a while. Since training to walk without making a sound my (Soft Step) skill evolved into the (Shadow Step) skill, and now I have access to (Nen)]: soren

'For the last 2 years I have trained in Armament Haki, and tried to create Observation Haki but I can't fully grasp it, so the System added it to my skills list as (Essence). I should try and train it more, but for now I think we should head back home and finish our training there. I also might help Killua start his Nen training'

As I was thinking about this Killua walked through the door into my room.

[Killua! Perfect timing, I am at floor 190 right now. What floor are you at? I plan on going to the 200th floor and going back home]: soren

[Aww, really?... Well, I am also at floor 190, I guess we will finish this and head home]: killua

After we both got our matches we went to the stadium and got on our specified stage and were ready to fight with our opponents. I heard some stuff from the crowd being whispered.

"Are they going to win or lose in this match?"

I couldn't help but give a smile because every match that I (Lost) was me getting on stage and then saying "I admit defeat" then I would leave the stage. Killua had done the same.

[Start the battle!]: ref

As the Ref gave the signal to start I went forward and chopped my opponent, I half to be careful not to put too much power in as to not kill my opponent. It ended quickly, same on Killua's side, less than 3 seconds and we won our match.

[T-the winner is Soren, you may continue to the 200th floor]: ref

The same message came from Killua's side and we both received our tickets. Then we advanced to the elevator and to the 200th floor to collect our payment. Then we left Heavens Arena and head back home.

When we got back home we met Zebro at the Gate and he greeted us.

[Welcome back Young Master's, how was Heavens Arena?]: zebro

[It was a piece of cake, we only took 2 years so we could have some fun, but don't tell dad]: soren

[Yes, my mouth is sealed. Now, would you guys like to come in for some tea?]: zebro

[Sure, why not?]: killua

We had some tea with Zebro and then we made our way back to the mansion, stopped by to pet Mike then we entered our home.

[Let's go to dads room he should be waiting for us there]: soren

[How do you know?]: killua

[Because I felt his presence head toward there when we entered the estate, he will be waiting there for us]: soren

[S-so cool! Teach me to do it too]: killua

[Haha, yes, I will teach you how to do it. But later, now let's head to dads room and see what he has to say]: soren

Killua looked excited to learn something from me even though he is the same age as me. I think he doesn't care about age, I think he just wants to learn something cool.

We head to dads office which is his bedroom and knock on the door, when the door opens we are invited in and go sit next to dad on his chair.

[So, boy's. How was the Heavens Arena?]: silva

[It was pretty easy, but we took our time to gain the most from the experience]: soren

[Yeah, We took some of the attacks to see our opponents weakness and learn to form our defences]: killua

[Oh? Did you now? From what I seen you guys were never touched and gave up on some matches without even throwing a punch]: silva

[...Fuck..]: soren

[Hahaha, don't worry my boy's, I am okay with what you did. But, you should have made it look more challenging, if you wanted to stay there for a little while longer]: silva

[[Yes father, we are sorry for lying to you]]: soren and killua

[Good, as long as you know that what you did was wrong. Go play, I will call both of you in for a mission later]: silva

From that point on we were sent on more missions and trained for harsh environments. 3 years later we are 11 almost 12 years old and it is a couple of weeks away from the Hunter exam. I told Killua about it and told him it would be interesting, He agreed right away when I said interesting. We set out without telling anyone and head toward the Exam site.

[Killua look there it is the building that the old man told us about, do you remember the secret words he told us to get in?]: soren

[Yeah, he said, "an order for 2 for Wuyang" It's weird but I guess it's a code used for him]: killua

We enter the shop and tell the lady at the counter the secret phrase and she leads us to the back room and then it turned into an elevator going down to the site.

[I guess it starts now, let's see how fast we can pass these tests]: soren

[So is it a race? If so I'm in]: killua
