Everyday Pleasures
"PLEASE, make yourself comfortable," Netero began as soon as Reaper walked through the door.She approached the small desk he sat at and took a seat on the pillow provided across from him, eyeing the pad of paper he now had in hand, along with how he stared at her. After the Fourth Phase, the applicants had once again ascended into the Chairman's airship to be escorted to the Fifth and Final Phase of the Exam. Before that, however, Netero wanted to ask the Hunter applicants a few questions, to which a few have already answered before her.
Now, it was her turn.
"First of all, why do you want to become a Hunter?" Netero questioned, starting the interrogation.
"A Hunter's License is useful, I suppose," Reaper replied, giving a more formal answer compared to when she was questioned by Kurapika and Leorio.
"I see," Netero nodded, writing her answer down with an ink brush. "This is a common answer that has come up. Moving on to the next question... out of the eight applicants, which one are you keeping an eye on?"
"Number 405, Gon, and Number 99, Killua," she answered truthfully. "They are pure, in a way. It's something you don't see quite often—at least for me, I haven't seen many people with such qualities as them."
"And for the final question..." Netero hummed as he nodded his head whilst stroking his greying beard, a smile resting on his lips from the way he slid his brush across paper. "Which of the remaining applicants would you least want to fight?"
"In what terms?"
"It doesn't matter," Netero shrugged.
"It doesn't matter to me, then," she proclaimed without hesitation, Netero pausing in his writing to look up at her with those piercing eyes of his. "All are weaker than me."
"Is that so?" He chuckled.
She glanced down to his hands that tightened in grip on his clipboard, something that suggested he wasn't as at ease as he appeared to be. Finally, he released her from their meeting. Walking down the hallway after exiting the room, the floor to ceiling windows giving a breathtaking view of the sunset, her gaze caught upon the slouching figures of Killua and the others. Since she was still a distance away, their audio was muffled, but she couldn't evade the sharp eyesight of Gon. The boy cheerfully waved her over like he usually did, Leorio scooting over on the bench to make room.
"What did the old man want?" Leorio inquired loudly whilst pushing up the round glasses perched on his nose.
"Mostly about what I think of the other applicants," Reaper replied, choosing to stand rather than sit. "I believe he's making pairings: in hindsight, who he should have us fight against in the Final Phase."
