Embers ~A Smutty Hisoka Fanfic~

Hunter's License

As soon as Leorio finished stitching up Aiyana's side, the airship landed outside the grand hotel that was the site for the final phase of the exam. When the airship doors finally opened, all ten applicants slowly disembarked from the ship before they followed the chairman through the building to get to a gym like area. When all of the applicants entered the gym and lined up side by side, the chairman explained who everyone would be fighting within the upcoming matches. Then, after he made sure everyone knew who they would be up against, he announced the final phase of the Hunter's exam had officially begun.

As the matches started, Aiyana just sat back and enjoyed watching all of the applicants going head-to-head. Mostly because it was a good learning experience for her, but also because it was cool to see how everyone would react in a real fight. However, Aiyana didn't particularly enjoy it when Gon fought Hanzo and eventually got knocked out by the bald ninja.

It ended up taking multiple people to hold back Aiyana and Leorio from jumping in the fight themselves and tearing Hanzo a new one. And saying that the two were pissed would be a drastic understatement. But, eventually after Gon was whisked away for medical attention and Leorio and Aiyana calmed down, it was finally time for Kurapika and Hisoka to have their match.

The fight was intense to start but, to Aiyana's disappointment, it didn't end up lasting very long because Hisoka quickly surrendered after whispering something in Kurapika's ear.

"Show off." Aiyana suddenly exclaimed as Hisoka confidently waltzed off the court.

Aiyana's sardonic comment caused the magician to turn his head and shoot her a quick wink before he cockily took back his place in line. The curly-haired woman responded by rolling her eyes at Hisoka's flirty gesture, before turning her attention back to Kurapika. Who looked like he was in deep thought as he stood there in shock.

As the blonde-haired boy finally walked off of the court Aiyana couldn't help but wonder what Hisoka said. However, she had no time to as Kurapika what he said, because it was her turn to fight next.

For the final phase Aiyana ended up being pinned against Pokkle. She  had definitely noticed the short man during the exam, but she hadn't really studied his skills or paid attention to the type of weapons he uses because the two hadn't crossed paths until now.
Cautiously, Aiyana eyed her opponent as she slowly stepped into the middle of the court and turned to face Pokkle. The people around Aiyana slowly disappeared as she honed all her focus in on her target and her strategy. She knew that in order to get this far her opponent had to have some sort of skill set, otherwise he would have been left back on Zevil island. So, as a result, she kept her guard up and made sure to not underestimate him.

While Aiyana was sizing him up, Pokkle casually sauntered to the middle of the ring while eying Aiyana intensely. As Pokkle waltzed onto the court, Aiyana immediately noticed his cocky smile and confident demeanor. And, from then on out, there was no doubt in Aiyana's mind that Pokkle was absolutely confident that he had this match in the bag. Of course, having confidence in yourself is an important part of fighting. But being too confident in yourself comes at a price. Being that sure makes you underestimate your opponent's tenacity, which in turn can make your guard unintentionally drop a little. This huge mistake that was being made by Pokkle, was one that Aiyana easily recognized and would definitely be using to her advantage.

When the ref started the match, Pokkle took the opportunity to attack first, thinking that a quick knockout would be the easiest way to victory. Assuming he was way too fast for Aiyana to react in time, Pokkle aimed straight for Aiyana's face as he dashed confidently across the court. But to his dismay, before he could connect his fist to her nose, Aiyana caught his punch in midair and glared at him before activating her ability and slowly starting to burn his hand. Pokkle's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head as he struggled to free himself from Aiyana's volcanic grip. The intensity of the concentrated heat coming from Aiyana's hand caused Pokkle to hiss in pain as he tried his best to act like he meant to do what he just did. However, the even with his hand starting to burn Pokkle still refused to lose to Aiyana. So, after mulling over his options, Pokkle decided to use Aiyana's outstretched arm as leverage to land a punch to her already injured side.
