(Y/N)'s POV

"Attention everyone!" Lippo said as we gathered around him.

"This is the fourth phase of the hunter exam, and the last phase before the final exam. Congratulations of having made this far." He added congratulating us, the forty four remaining applicants.

He flicked his finger, then the girl showed together with a box. What is that for?

"I like each of you to draw a lot in the box. There are many cards in the box as how many applicants remaining in the exam." He explained.

"Hi! I am Kara! The order in draw lots will be the order of who arrived first at the bottom of the trick tower at previous phase. Which mean Hisoka gets to go first." The girl who holds the box said. Hisoka, walk at the front for his turn. Then, he is followed by the creepy guy who has many screw, or I think it's pin, at his face and with a mohawak hair style, Gittarackur.

"The cards that you drawn corresponds to the ID Badge of an applicant. Now, what this drawing of numbers will determined is..... who's the hunter and who's the hunted." He exclaimed after all of us finishing the turn to draw.

"What is that mean?" Hanzo, the bald headed ninja, asked.

"In case if you haven't get it yet, the objective of this phase is to steal each others ID badge. The applicant whose ID badge corresponds with the card you picked.... is now going to be your target." Then everyone groan in shock.

Everyone detached their ID badges and hide it on them. Lippo said in order to pass this phase we'll need to have a minimum of 6 points. 3 points for the ID badge of your target, and 3 points for your own badge. Meaning we should manage also to keep our own badges with ourselves and keep it from stealing, and if in case that our own badge has been stealed, and/or if we can't steal the ID badge of our target, we can also steal an ID badges from the other which is not our main target because every ones badges is also correspond to 1 point. Great! At least we have an option.

We may know who's our target, but we have no idea who's hunting us. It can be the person standing right next to us, or maybe even our closest ally.

I ran at the edge of the top deck to sit and hang my feet. I looked at the number of my target. "53." I mumbled to myself silently. Now, how can I deal with this? My target is Pokkle, that young man who wears a pointy hat and a v-neck jacket over a polo-neck sweater. He is a nice guy by the way. Now, I will be standing on myself I guess.

After an hour, we arrived at the Zevil Island which will serve as our playing field for one whole week. We are disembark one by one according to our sequence like awhile ago in drawing of lots. We are allowed to do what is neccessary for this phase. We can also use a weapon.

Right on the first day, I manage to follow Pokkle who also secretly following his target to an area of high grass. He prepared his bow and pulled an arrow and he stays still, waiting for the right time.

I am also waiting for the right time, I decided to make a move while he was about to hunt for his target. As the strong wind blows he also released the arrow which strikes Kyu, applicant #105, Pokkle's target; at his death. The arrow strikes at Kyu's heart.

As Pokkle got down his guard off in excitement who is happily running towards to Kyu's body, I jumped in. I clicked my pen I was holding and it quickly turn to a full metal staff, and I thrust hard on Pokkle's neck which made him unconcious and lied down at the grass. This is easy than I thought and I chuckled.

I got his badge, and left Kyu's badge at his pocket. He is still alive, and at the first place I don't need to kill him, I just only need his badge. He's a good guy after all. I left and jumped in a tree and look for a hideout. Geez! I need to wait till this is off. This is only the first day. It'll be boring I guess on the succeeding days.

By the way this small pen who happens to be the pendant of my by necklace can turn in to many useful weapon, this was gave by Lorrie-san's cousin, my master. As he said this was made by a powerful nen user at the same time expert in making a customed weapon, this pen suits for a specialist like me. It will be also effective for the elemental power user, which I don't still get it. He said that I will discovered it all the way out.

I am now here at the top of the high tree sitting at its branch. This is so relaxing. The view is so beautiful. Maybe I should rest for a minute but still activating my guard on, and I slowly closed my eyes.

Yehey! I finished this chapter. This might be short sorry. But I am having a little bit hard time in thinking for this. Haha. Anyway, I think the full metal staff belongs to Final Fantasy but not sure. So I don't own that. Credit to the real owner/s.

The other picture above (chapter cover) is Pokkle charging behind Kyu.

Thank you. :)
