"I'M GOING, MOM. I've already made up my mind." You said, zipping up your backpack which carried all of your necessities: food, water, medicinals, etc.
"I know, sweetie..." your mom tried to reason. "It's just that the Hunter Exam is dangerous. I don't know what your father and I would do without you," she said, a wavering smile on her face.
You sighed, "It's okay, mom." You walked towards your mother and hugged her. It must be hard for your mom to see her child slip away from her fingers again, not knowing whether or not they'd return.
"I'll be back, mom. I promise" you mumbled as you wrapped your arms around your mother's torso. Your mother smiled and returned the hug.
"Alright!" You said, breaking the hug. "Where's my bat?" Your mom sweat-dropped at the sudden question, "What do you need your bat for?"
"Well, I am going to the Hunter Exam, and I need some kind of weapon?" You said as if you're stating the obvious. Your mom gave you a questioning look which caused you to exhale sharply. Your mom chuckled and pointed to your room, "I think it's in the back of your closet."
You smiled and ran into your room. You opened the door to your closet; and sure enough, there it was, your wooden bat which had small engravings, sitting there, begging you to grab it. You smiled, grabbed your bat, and sprinted to the living room. Quickly, you grabbed your backpack and ran out the front door, "Bye mom!" you shouted.
You grabbed your phone out your phone and checked the time. 7:20, Alright I have ten minutes left.
Turning off your phone, you shoved it back into your backpack, zipped it up, and threw it over your shoulder. You sped down to the docks where your dad was waiting for you. As you progress closer to the docks you saw your dad's [short/tall] figure in the distance. You smiled, "Dad!" you shouted. Upon hearing your voice, your father faced you and smiled. You jumped into his arms, dropping your things. You hugged him tightly, "I'll miss you," he said.
You chuckled, "I'll miss you too, dad."
Your father reluctantly let you go as the captain announced that the ship would be leaving soon. He bent down and squeezed your shoulders. "Bye, kiddo. Come back well and alive, okay?" You looked at the ship then at your father and smiled. "Yes sir!"
He laughed wholeheartedly and ruffled your hair, "Knock 'em dead!"
"Last warning! Everyone leaving to take the Hunter Exam, please board the ship now!"
You boarded the ship, setting your things down in a corner. Your dad waved from below, you smiled.
Your journey to the Hunter Exam has commenced.

"Hey, kid! What are you doing?!"
You were startled awake. Your eyes shot open and you quickly scanned the area. You saw the captain of the ship at the door to the inside of the ship. You were confused as to what he was asking, but then something wet fell onto your forehead.
