BUTTERFLIES - READER INSERT

13. Interviews x A Test x Final Exam

                NETERO SITS WITH THE OTHER EXAMINERS AS [M/NAME] SHARES THE RESULTS OF THE FOURTH EXAM. "Six of the nine applicants are rookies?!" he asks, letting out a boisterous laugh as [M/name] nods.

"This hasn't happened before right?" she asks as Netero nods

"We can go ten years without a qualifying rookie, but this year we have a bunch of promising rookies. I'm quite excited. It's the fourth time it's happened since I've become president." Netero says as Menchi turns to Bean and whispers.

"How old is the president?" she asks as Bean looks at her and hums.

"It's been almost twenty years that he's been telling me he's about one hundred, but..." Bean trails off as Satotz speaks up.

"By the way, what are we going to do for the last round?" he asks, snacking on his meat as [M/name] smiles.

"We're going to have them duke it out!" she yells, her fist clenched as she smiles and the other examiners sighs.

Of course, the beast hunter wants a bloodied fight. They all thought simultaneously.

"They won't be fighting to the death and the rounds will only commence once I've interviewed them all," Netero says as the other four examiners look at each other in surprise.

That's never happened before— at least, not from what they've heard of before.

YOU SMILED AS YOU HUNG OUT WITH YOUR BROTHER IN THE CAFETERIA, chowing down on some food as Gon and Kurapika hung out somewhere else. Recently since this exam, you had felt like you hadn't got to see your brother that often. "[M/name] offered to house you and me after the exam for a while. You can do college and I can make some amends and begin to move on from my past life," you tell your older brother who stares at you.

"Do you want to?" he asks as you nod.

"I would like to. I think she needs to move on as well. Plus, I can't say anything yet... but we're going to learn something useful." you promise as your older brother sighs.

"Yeah. Okay, we can do that. Where are we going to stay?" he asks as you grin.

"Right here in the heart of Zaban city!" you cheer as Hisoka takes a seat next to you and smiles.

"What are we discussing, Butterfly?" he asks as you blink.

"Where big brother and I are going to stay," you answer truthfully as Leorio sucks in his breath, trying to call you over to him with your eyes as Hisoka hums, smiling at you as he lays atop his folded hands.

"Where is that?" he asks as you open your mouth and happen to get saved by the intercom.

"In a while, the president will receive you for a conversation! When you're called, please come to the reception room on the first floor!" It yells across the airship as Hisoka hums.

"A conversation? With the president? That's new." he says humorously.

"Candidate number forty-four, we ask that you come to the conversation room!" the speaker says as Hisoka gets up and smiles.

"I'm excited," he says as you nod.

"I'm sure you are," you say as he walks off and you and your brother catch your breaths.

"Thank god!" you both yell out, resting on the cafeteria table as you smile at each other, you're so glad neither of you died.
