⌗ third pov ⌗

“can i get [f/f] and one steak combo that’s grilled over a low flame. please?” she told the chef , who quickly looked back up at her a little shocked , but got the [f/f] that she ordered ready before having one of his workers lead her to the room where she would be taken down to for the hunter exam.

⌗ [name] pov ⌗

as i walked into the elevator , disguised as a normal looking room , i wondered if i was going to see lua or llumi here with me. i hoped not to see llumi , but didn’t mind seeing lua. after all , i wanted to make sure that he was okay , especially after not seeing him for a few days.

the elevator ding indicating that we’ve made it to assigned floor , interrupted me in the midst of my thoughts , the doors opened and a tiny green thing appeared in front of me , but lucky for me - if you could say that - i knew this little green thing.

“oh , hi bean!” i acknowledged the little creature before seeing what he was handing me. which was badge no.50.
“oh! hi [name]! be sure to wear this on your chest at all times and be careful not to lose it.” bean acknowledged back and told me before walking away , or rather going back to his hiding spot. and not soon after ,

“hi , you're a newcomer. i would know since this is my thirty-fifth attempt doing this.” he sorta-kinda introduced himself , but continued nonetheless , “i’m tonpa! and you are?”

i decided to introduce myself to him as well since it was nice. “i’m [name]” before i told the man , “and i don’t think you should be so prideful on this being your thirty-fifth attempt.” walking away soon after because i didn’t want my food to get cold.

“u-um! i saw that you had food , um , would you like to have a drink with that?” he asked before i got far enough away from him ,

“hmm…no” i told him after “thinking” about his offer and walking away to a secluded area of the underground tunnel to eat the [f/f] that i ordered.

after [name] was done eating her food she watched lua walk in , he got badge no.99 , she also watched llumi in his disguise walk in , he got badge no.301 , after he got his badge he immediately went over to where hisoka was. and soon enough she saw the last three people walk in and get their badge numbers , the green-haired kid got badge no.405 , the blondie got no.404 and the adult-looking one got no.403.

then hisoka had the balls to kill someone who bumped into him but didn’t apologize. yeah… it was sure fun to watch the guy's arms turn into flower petals.

after that shit-show she also watched the tonpa dude she encountered earlier give the same drink to the three newcomers that was offered to her , but she wasn’t gonna come out of her corner nor get up to stop them.

but she was watching intently to see what was gonna happen , and she was indeed entertained after seeing tonpa get surprised that the greenie tasted whatever was in that drink.

⌗ tonpa pov ⌗

“i’ve tasted all kinds of mountain grasses and plants.” gon said with a little laugh before ,

“so i can usually tell when something is off.” ending his explanation.
“r-really? that’s amazing.” i said to the kid while rubbing the back of my head.
‘damn it! i just had to run into a feral savant , didn’t i?’ i thought to myself before getting up off of my knees and excusing myself from the trio.

i walked away from them and thought about how there’s something wrong with this year’s rookies.

like that number 50 , [name] , she didn’t even take the drink but looked like she didn’t trust me offering it to her.

and that number 294 , hanzo , too. he seemed so gullible when i approached him , he told me all about how he was a ninja and was looking for the ninja secret scroll , or whatever , but the moment i offered him a drink , i could tell that he was no fool just by looking at his eyes. one wrong move and i could've been in some real danger.

and speaking of danger… here comes number 301. i can’t even go near him since all he does is just ooze peril.

and last but not least , the guy i can’t stand , number 187 , nicholas. i went up to him with a drink in hand to talk to him about how rough his journey here must of been , but… all he did was brag about how it was so easy because he used the past hunter exam resources to come to a conclusion to where this year’s exam was going to be held. and then when i offered him a drink he decided to search me up and expose my real purpose of retaking the hunter exam countless times.

and the last one , number 99 , killua. at first i seemed like he was also really gullible , like hanzo , since he took the drink but it was after the second time i became a little worried for the kid.

⌗ third pov ⌗

then she came out of the corner she was sitting in to walk around and see just what she was getting herself into just as she heard ,

“hey , hey! tonpa-san can i have some more of that juice?” said by none other than the cousin she was “looking” for , but made no means whatsoever to approach him.

she once again watched the interaction between lua and tonpa just like she did the first time and was once again entertained by tonpa’s reaction. especially since lua said that he could withstand poison.

after that she heard a certain timer ring and stayed where she was ready to listen and do whatever they were about to do.
