The Wolf and Her Clown (Hisoka Fanfic)

Chapter 1: The First Tests

First step to getting my Hunters License was that I had to get onto a ship from my city to another across the sea. This ship was the only one that was picking up all the people of my city and a few small villages nearby, and taking us to the place of the real exam. The ship was packed with over 500 people ranging in age from 16 all the way up to 70. Our captain was a young 30 year old man and his 15 year old son. Out of the 500 on the ship about 450 of them got sea sick. I could not bare the sound or smell in the cabins and decided to take a walk around the outside of the ship and finally took a nap at the top of the crows nest, as for the other 49 people on my ship I didn't care...however I did sense a small blood lust from someone but with it being so small I pushed it aside.

I could smell land and heard the captain yell that we would be on land with in 5 minutes, so my guess was I took about an hour nap. Anyway the captain then called for the 50 of us who could walk without getting sick to come to the deck. I decided to stay in the crows nest but listen to what he had to say. He told everyone that this was already a test of the Hunter Exam and we have already passed and making sure he yelled up to me "You got that missy? You passed even though you slept up there the whole time!" I just stood up and stretched.

Once the boat docked I jumped down and then jumped off the boat. I noticed that there were buses parked and about 40 of the 50 of us left from the boat rushed to the busies while the a few others stood looking a map. I knew that the bus thing was a trick to test people again. I took a deep breathe and found a trail to my left with very faint smells of people walking that way, however those faint smells belonged to a few powerful people. This has to be the correct path so that's the way a went...and I could sense someone keeping a good distance from me but following me none the less.

After a good hour and a half I believed....I came to town that appeared to be run down and abandoned. I stopped before I walked between the first two buildings and took a deep breathe. I could smell people. I took a few steps forward then stopped again.

"I know that you are waiting for me inside that building. Just come out already and block my path. Let's begin the next test." I said out loud to the wind, but soon a stage shot out in front of me with an old lady at the center. I walked closer.

"Very smart young lady. The next test only requires you to answer a question, then you may pass. The question has two answers, you must press the button in front of you and give your answer before the time runs out." she told me.

"Understood."

"Your sibling and best friend are hanging off the edge of a cliff and you can only save one...who do you save?"

Hmmm...that's an impossible decision to make. You can not make a choice, you can not choose one over the other, but must answer somehow...silence. Silence is the answer she wants.

"Time is up!" she said.

"So that means I pass right? Silence was the correct answer that you wanted and I didn't choose or say anything before the time was up...so I pass." I said with a small smile.

"Very impressive. You are correct and you do pass this test. So you may pass onto the next part of the exam." she said stepping down.

"This way correct?" I said pointing to the door to my left.

"Correct...you are true hunter already. Follow this path until you come to a house under the big tree on top of the hill. That is where the next test begins...but remember that a situation will come up when you least expect it so be prepared." she said opening the doors for me.

"Sadly for me that kind of situation will never happen...I don't have anyone left to be put in that situation." I said softly as I passed her towards the open doors and towards the next test area.
