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

she watched the wall rise along with all the others. and on the other side was none other than satoz.

he explained that the examinee registration period ended and informed to the examinees that they will end up dead or even seriously injured and to those that no longer wanted to participate to exit through the elevator that brought them here , but of course nobody did exit because of their pride and all.

and with no one exiting satoz commenced the 287th hunter exam with all 404 applicants participating in the first phase.

and with him turning around and taking the first step towards the long tunnel is what started the first phase officially.

[name] didn’t know how long or how far she’ll be running but was prepared since they did play tag with feitan , shalnark and a few other troupe members while she was with them in meteor city.

but the pace was currently set to walking and of course they didn’t know what to expect further on but she did suspect that satoz had something up his sleeve further down the road. she was in the front with a few others that were right behind satoz ,  as she didn’t want llumi to notice them or be next to hisoka.

and soon enough satoz started to pick up the pace a little which made [name] go into a light jog and drag behind the others a little bit since she didn’t want to waste her energy quite yet.

and while everyone was running satoz decided to introduce himself to the examinees that didn’t know him , which was everyone else but [name] , and explained to them that he would be taking them to the second phase exam site.

some people were surprised to know that the first phase had already started since everyone thought that he was taking them to the first phase and not to the second phase.

after a bit of running [name] heard yelling behind her ,

“hey! that’s cheating!”

she turned around a bit only to find out that it was the adult-looking person yelling at lua…for riding on his skateboard instead of running like everyone else.

even though it was perfectly liable for him to ride on his skateboard since satoz only said to follow him.

[name] turned back to the front sighing and shaking her head lightly at the antics she just witnessed.

she ran a little faster than she was before since , y’know , she didn’t wanna get found out by any of her cousins.

and little by little , satoz was getting faster as his strides were getting larger in size. and at this point everyone , including [name] , was running at a full sprint , but the people who couldn’t run long distances were slowing down and falling behind.

she looked behind her at one point to see how many people fell behind and ended up spotting her cousin standing with the greenie.

“i guess they're waiting for someone.” she mumbled to herself facing back towards the front and continuing on once more , “i wonder who though.” she thought to herself.

⌗ [name] pov ⌗

after running for like four hours , i could see a flight of stairs showing up in the distance.

now stairs… i never found them fun – especially now – , but now i have to run up , who knows how many steps , just to get to our next destination. so i was contemplating all of my life decisions , especially the one where i listened to chrollo to take this stupid exam.

but while on the stairs i saw lua and that green-haired kid running together a bit in front of me.

they ended up in front of me after their friend ran ahead of me , so they tried to catch up with him.

i heard them talking about having a race to see who can get to the top first.

it was really nice to see him making new friends that he can trust and travel with.

i smiled to myself at the fact that lua finally had a friend after being cooped up in the mansion for so long , and basically being a puppet for llumi and uncle sil.

after zoning back into the exam , i saw the two run even further up the stairs , skipping a few steps as they went up.

somehow while running up the stairs they were in sync with each other , running step in step and dodging people that quit running while on the stairs.

“wow~ they sure have a lot of stamina and willpower , more willpower than me at least.” i mumbled to myself , but sped up nonetheless. i wanted to get off of these stairs as fast as possible.

⌗ [name] pov ⌗

i finally made it up the whole flight of stairs. i came in a few minutes after the greenie , lua and satoz.

me and satoz made eye contact , i just shook my head and went over to him.
“i hated that ,” i said , pointing back at the flight of stairs that had people trickling in , “and i'm not liking the look of that damn forest ,” now pointing at the eerie forest / swamp.

“hello to you too [name].” he said back to me , disregarding my two previous statements.

i smiled sarcastically at his greeting , then sighed at his behavior , and turned back around to walk away from him but got stopped by making eye contact with my favorite white-haired cousin.
i paused my steps after being found out preparing for the worst.

“nee-san!?” he yelled out.

and there was the worst.
‘to my ancestors…end me now please.’ i prayed while preparing for the moment that has yet to come.
