Darkness (HunterxHunter)

Hisoka X Vs X Mika

Mika's POV

"Tell me what do you think? I can't wait to see some of these matches." The chairman said and I sighed. Just my luck to get Hisoka.

"Only one of us passes is that all?!" Leorio yells and I look at me Hisoka who looks very happy. I just sigh.

"Mika you're up against Hisoka?" Gon asked shocked.

"Seems so." I say blankly.

"Why luck." Killua says sarcastically.

"Listen do whatever it taked to beat this guy." Leorio says to me. "Don't let him advance to the next round."

"Sure." I say and Chairman Netero laughs.

"I know this must look daunting. In order to pass the finals all you need to do is win one match." We look at him confused. "You see in this particular tournament, it's not the winners who move up the losers of each match is the one who moved up. Whoever reached the end and loses doesn't become a Hunter,"

"Hang on a sec. You're saying that only one of us is going to fail?" Hanzo asks.

"Exactly." Chairman says. "And if you look closely you'll see that everyone had at least two chances to win."

"What a relief. You should have told us sooner. This won't be hard at all. Mika, lose againist Hisoka." I glare at him. I already knew that I wasn't going to win but I had a better chance then Leorio, Gon, Killua and Kurapika.

"Alright then if you have any questions well have time to address them later." Bean says. "Right now I will be annocing the matches. Ths first match will be applicant #44 and #402, Hisoka vs Mika! The second match applicant #405 and #297, Gon vs Hanzo! The third match will be the loser of the first match verse 404, Kurapika! The fourth match is..."

(You know)

Mr Bean was then done. "Now then are their any questiosn?"

"The matched don't seem very fair why is that?" Leorio asked.

"Good question, let me explain." Netero says. "The matches for the final exam has been determined by your individual grades of all four phases. Which means, the higher your overall ranking going into the tournament, the higher you have of winning."

"Just a minute this doesn't seem right." Killua said and walked forward. "I mean can you at least tell us more of how you graded us?"

"Afraid not." Netero said.

"And why not?" Killua asked.

"Our grading system is strictly confidential. I can't tell a secret like that. Well I guess I could a little bit of how we did it." Chairman says. "Basically when we grade an applicant we consider three main factors: there's physical ability, mental acuity and overall impression. Just those three.

"When we evaluate physical ablitiy we grade: strength, agility, endurance and powers of perception. For mental acuity: it's the way you handle stress, problem solve, make difficult decisions and hoe creative you are. But sense all of you had made it to the final phase you slready proven yourself sufficiently in these areas.

"Now for you it comes down to overall impression."

"Overall impression?" Killua askes.

"Yes it is very important for the other two factors I mentioned. It's potential, plain and simple. Either you have what it takes to becone a Hunter or you don't."

"You're grading us on something as vague as that?"

"I also have the answers from your interviews and that's how I came up with this tournament. That's that. You can already guess why Mika and Hisoka are together."

"Are there anymore questiond before we begin?" Bean asks.

"Oh oh! How do we fight each other?! Are their any rules that we have to follow?!" Gon asks.

"Rules for the matches are very simple. You can use any weapon that you'd like. You must forfeit by admitting defeat. But if you kill your opponent during the match you will be disqualified. Since there's only one loser. The rest of the group will automatically pass."

"Is there anymore questions last chance." Bean said. "I'll turn it over to you Mr. Chairman."

"Tens of thousands of applicants turned down to only 10. This is a great accomplishment. As the Chairman as the Exam Committee I'd like to say how proud I am of you. You are now only one win away from becoming hunters. Do all the best of luck in the matches. Now let the first round of the final phse begin."

A man in black that had followed me and Hisoka was there. "I'm Loue the referee for the first match of the tournament. Now let us begin. Will applicant #44, Hisoka and applicant #401, Mika come in."

We both walked in front of each other. "I didn't know I was going to fight you so soon." Hisoka said and I could feel his bloodlust come out. I smirked, this is gonna be fun.

"Two bloodthirsty fighters." The judges said.

I let my bloodlust come out and took out soem of my Ben knives. Hisoka took out his card. "Begin." Hisoka made the first move and threw out 10 cards and threw them. I blocked them all with my knives.

Hisoka then tried to kick me and I blocked it with my arm. I then tried to kick him but he grabbed my arm. I noticed that there was something neon pink that looked like gum on his fingers.

"You can see it can't you?" He asked and I backed away. What is that stuff. "It would be a shame to kill you now. I give up." I just stared at Hisoka and it was completely silent.

"Mika wins by forfeit. Hisoka loses!" I sweat dropped. Hisoka moved to the back and motioned me over. I followed him.

"I'm impressed." Hisoka said and this gum like aura that Hisoka had was aimed at Gon and Killua and it was infront of their faces but they wouldn't see it. He then connected it to the back of their head and he pulled it back and they both fell to the ground.

"Ow!" Gon said.

"What was that!?" Killua yelled and everyone stared at them.

"They can't see it." I said narrowing my eyes.

"It's called Nen." Hisoka said and the referee said that we had 30 minutes until the next match between Gon and Hanzo. Everyone left. "Don't forget to meet on September the 1st in Yorknew City and you might want to go to Heaven's Arena and after that get a job as a Bodyguard."

I was left completely confused. Still wandering what was Nen?
