The elevator door slid open and you walked out, welcoming the scene in front of you. There were hundreds of people in front of you, all hoping to accomplish the same goal of becoming a hunter. It was then that you noticed the little green... individual walking towards you.
"Hello there! I'm Bean. Please grab your tag and wear it at all times." He said smiling while lifting a tag towards you. You grabbed it out of his hand and thanked him before walking away to find a spot for yourself.
'Hmm, number 345. Not bad.' You pinned it to your white shirt, making sure that the over-sized bow you wore wasn't covering it. You quickly ran your hands down your shorts as if you were patting away dust before sitting down against the wall. 'Might as well stay comfy as I wait for the others to arrive.'
To pass time, you glanced up to watch the other contestants. It was within your best interests to learn about the enemies you would be facing wasn't it? There was a lot of people in front of you but no one really seemed to catch your eye. To be frank, everyone looked quite disappointing and weak.
You continued to scan the crowd when you heard a voice chime in your ear. Looking over to your right, it was a chubby, stout man introducing himself as Tonpa. 'Hmmmm, I still can't feel any power in this one either. Boo. I want to have some fun while I'm here!'
You smiled at Tonpa and thanked him for the warm welcome. He offered you a drink and graciously took it, hoping that he would leave now. Unfortunately, he didn't and was convinced on making small talk. You sighed and popped open the can of soda. Immediately, you inhaled an unpleasant smell. You wrinkled your nose in irritation and promptly dumped the soda on Tonpa.
"Ne, ne, Tonpa-san I really don't appreciate you trying to poison me this early into the game." You said smiling innocently at him.
He fumed and sputtered in front of you.
"Wha- how dare you! I'll get my revenge soon enough!", he shouted as he stormed away. You laughed at his back and threw the empty pop can into the trash.
'How booooring. If this is going to be the whole exam, I might as well just not do it' you whined in your head.
It was then that a particularly loud crowd walked out of the elevator. You could see a young boy with black hair leading another boy with blonde hair. An older looking man walked behind them with his suitcase swinging at his side. Looking at the boy, you could tell that, one day, he could very well be a worthy opponent but not yet. So, you looked back into the crowd hoping someone strong had come in while you weren't looking. Of course, nothing had changed and you were left with that feeling of disappointment.
Suddenly, you felt a quick increase of bloodlust coming from behind you. You whipped around just in time to see a man's arms nearly explode as he screamed in agony. Glancing up, you noticed a man with spiked up, wavy red hair standing in front of him. Without a doubt, the bloodlust must have been coming from him.
'Well shit, he's scary! I know that I said I wanted to fight someone but I don't think I could even stand a chance against him. I need to leave right now. For real, he must be a monster!'
You heard his smooth voice say something but you were too focused with getting as far away from him as possible. You pivoted on your heel and immediately walked in the opposite direction.
'No use getting myself on his bad side. Damn, I just want someone strong enough to fight me but not kill me. I like living, thank you very much!'
You stopped as you heard a whistle. Looking to your left, there was that loud group of three. The one with the suitcase was smiling and looking you up and down.
"What beautiful ladies we got here!", he sung. "You really shouldn't be here miss, you're too pretty to be fighting!"
'Really. Is he for real?'
You chuckled and smiled at the idiot. "Ne, ne, what's your name?", you said in the girliest voice you could come up with.
"Leorio Paradinight."
"Well, Leorio, I believe it would be in your best interest to not irritate me any more than I already am," you glared at him with your nen-enhanced eyes. Without even looking, you knew they had to be golden with a cat-like, slit pupil at this point. To drive the point even further, you let out your bloodlust. Well, you let out just enough bloodlust so that even an idiot like him who wasn't trained in nen could feel it.
His eyes widened and you could see the fear flashing through him. You scoffed and quickly walked away, more irritated than you were earlier. It was then that you could feel another person's bloodlust in the room. But that wasn't all, you could also sense someone watching you. You involuntarily shivered and looked over your shoulder to see that creepy jester man smiling dangerously at you. He was focused solely on you and while you might have liked having a man's attention on only you, he was definitely not the one for you. To make matters worse, he started to walk towards you with a slow but graceful stride.
'Shit!! Now I'm in it deep! Please leave me alone, please leave me alone!' With quick steps, you found somewhere to sit far away from the creep that was still following you. You didn't want him to know how scared he was making you.
'Someone please help me.' you thought with eyes closed in prayer. Surely one of the gods up there would bless you with good luck? But of course, your luck was just as bad as it always was. You could tell that the clown was within ten meters and he would reach you shortly.
'It looks like I die today. Well it was a nice life. I hope Kiyo lives happy. I hope she can get out of the house and find someway to feed herself. Kiyo, my love, live on in memory of me!' You cried internally. But all of your distress was lifted as a door opened and a man walked out introducing himself as Satotz, the hunter that would lead everyone to the next part of the exam. You could tell then that the jester had turned around and was ignoring you in favor of following the instructor.
'Am I... am I saved?' Tears wavered in your eyes as you got up and happily followed the man named Satotz. You were truly blessed today!

FanfictionAll she really wanted to do was to get stronger so she took the hunter exam. This was NOT supposed to happen. Why did that creepy jester have to keep bothering her anyway? Couldn't he just get over himself and move on? Well, it was partly her fault...
