No Regrets || HxH X Male OC

Chapter 11

There. He'd done it. He was away from him, for now at least. It took a few moments for Kalen to catch his breath again but then the excruciating pain finally hit him and he would have collapsed if not for the wall. God was he glad no one else was seeing him in this condition right now.

He was breathing heavily at this point and clutching his abdomen. Despite Mori's Nen ability not being activated anymore, it still hurt like hell. Kalen choked up a few mouthfuls of blood before beginning to mutter to himself weakly. "Agh, just suck it up you bitch.", he mumbled, closing his eyes for a moment.

He let himself sit for a moment, leaning against the wall, trying to wait for the pain to subside. It took a few minutes but it did get slightly better. At least he could stand up without falling over. His vision was a bit blurry but it refocused after a few seconds of standing up. So he decided to finally enter the elevator and go the the bottom of the tower. Maybe he could sleep for a while considering he had finished pretty early.

The trip down didn't take too long and he only had to walk through a short hall in order to reach the last door. Kalen opened it without any hesitation and he was greeted with the mechanical voice announcing his time.

"Examinee number 69. Time for completion: 6 hours and 23 minutes."

Kalen looked around the room seeing only one other person, the magician from earlier. Great. He sat down relatively close to the red headed clown due to the door he just exited being right next to the red head.

"Hm", the magician said, looking up at Kalen, "Did you get injured Dolly~?".

"No. I'm good.", Kalen responded bluntly. He currently  was not in the mood for chit chat, considering what had just happened.

"Aw okay~. Can I at least have your name Dolly~?", the magician asked, persistent.

"If you ask for someone else's name you should give your own first.", Kalen responds again, this time not even bother to hide his agitation.

"Hmm, not need to get so pouty~. I'm Hisoka, now tell me yours Dolly~", Hisoka says.

"My name is Kalen, and stop calling me that. Also I'm not being pouty.", Kalen says back, actually pouting a bit this time.

"Okay, whatever you say~", Hisoka chuckles, "You must be pretty strong, since you finished just after me~."

"No, shut the fuck up. I'm going to sleep", the boy responded leaning back and shutting his eyes.

Now if this were any other person Hisoka would have already killed them, but he'd taken and interest to the boy, along with Gon. And he couldn't bear to kill a juicy piece of fruit, especially when they were so pretty. So he let it slide this time, allowing the boy to rest and going back to playing with his cards.

~•~

When Kalen woke up there were still a few hours left, sixteen to be exact, so he decided to busy himself with other things. Contemplating weather he should bandage the wounds on his wrist or clean his knives. He went with the latter and took the three piece knife set out of his belt and began wiping each with a cloth. Then making sure all of them were still sharp.

Then he took out another cloth and wiped the dried blood off his wrist deciding to properly treat it some other time.

Right as the exam was ending three people burst through the doors. Gon, Leorio and Killua were huffing but they walked into the room looking quite proud of themselves, especially Gon. Then Kurapika and the pig, Tonpa followed the three. And as the five entered the room the exam concluded.

"Alright the third phase of the Hunter Exam has reached its end. May all twenty five passing applicants proceed outside.", and announcer said.

~•~

Soon enough all of the passing examinees were standing outside in front of the Trick Tower listening to a man with spikey hair congratulate them and explain the fourth phase.

"The fourth phase with take place over there", the man says pointing to an island, "on Zevil island. For now, let's proceed.".

"Everyone will be drawing lots to determine who will be hunted and who will be the hunter. Each card will have the number ID of someone else, that person will be your target. You will need six points to pass this phase and your own tag is worth three points, and so it your target's. All other tags are worth one point. If everything is clear we will begin drawing in the order that everyone completed phase three.", the spikey haired man explains.

Hisoka goes up and draws first. Kalen follows after him, surprising a few of the veterans since they didn't expect someone so young to finish second.

Kalen draws his card and decides to look at the number when everyone else does so he places it in his pocket for the time being. As everyone gets on the boat that would be taking them to Zevil Island, he notices many people hiding their tags. Kalen decides not to since he doesn't really have to and he doesn't really care if whoever has him as a target sees his number.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sooo, this book is finally off hiatus and I've finally written another chapter! I also edited all the previous chapters and I changed a bit of the story because I started this nearly two years ago and I completely lost the story board that I made back then. 🥲

Please excuse all the spelling and formatting mistakes because Wattpad is currently not working on my laptop so I'm writing on an iPhone, and let me tell you, it's not as nice.

Also I read this before I edited it and made changes and it was really messy, so I hope it's better now :).  I also tried to make the chapter longer but I have a pretty low attention span so most of the chapters I write will only be about 800 to 1200 words long. 😔

Either way, stay tuned!
