God Gives Killua Emotional Turmoil

After a night’s of contemplative thinking, of strategizing and strangling with his emotions, Killua finally made the decision of accepting the contract. Though, he had negotiated to postpone the time frame to complete his job, since the kill had to do with a member of the Phantom Troupe, the requester immediately obliged. What had Killua curious, however, was the motive behind the assassination. Killua hasn’t been out of the house for a while now, having recently just completed his training and becoming the head of the Zoldyck family, so he hasn’t been caught up with the news as of recently.

Scars from his torture training were still visible along his arms and back, not yet fully healed, but give them a day or two and they would completely fade. For the moment, though, Killua decided to wear a long-sleeved blue turtleneck underneath a plain short-sleeved white shirt first to block out the scars - because no doubt they would attract attention.

Instead of the usual shorts, he decided to wear grey leggings to hide those scars on his legs. And after putting on a pair of sneakers, he emerges anew from the Zoldyck Manor, into his old world, but under a different name.

Killua Zoldyck: Head of the Zoldyck family.

He had decided to take his first night of his contract off first, just to have some fresh air. After all, being cooped up in the Zoldyck Manor for five years isn’t exactly what one would call ‘Heaven’.

Since being established as head, Killua was now free to wander in and out of the Zoldyck compound without butlers tailing or spying his every step. All the way from the manor, through the forest and towards the front gates, Killua wondered what he should do for the night.

Clubbing? Nah, too vigour. Plus, he didn’t like getting drunk.

Movies? Hmm...that would only make him more lonelier than he seem, with no one accompanying him.

Guess he’ll settle to go to the candy store and eat in a restaurant. He does need the space to think things through, after all.

Once out of the Zoldyck compound, Killua activated Godspeed, his Hatsu ability he learned through the training with the Zoldycks. The power involves changing his aura into electricity. Using this, he applies Speed of Lightning, which, true to its name, enables him to travel in a quick pace; though it was still nothing compared to lightning itself, it was considered fast enough.

Not a moment later, he zapped onto the busy streets of the local town of Regenia, at the foot of Kukuroo Mountain.

Shops lined either side of the street, and since today was a Tuesday, stalls were opened and the street closed up to make way for the market. No one paid any attention to him, too busy shopping to even realised a person had materialised out of nothing from nowhere.

He breathed in the fresh smell of food wafting in from the multiple food stalls, settling into the sound of merchants promoting their products, of people trampling and gossiping and laughing into the night. He grinned, shoving his hands into his pockets. He missed this.

He spotted the little candy shop that sold his favourite chocolates on his right, its window brightly lit by colourful lights, showcasing a box of Valentines chocolates. Without further ado, he made a beeline towards it. The door tinkled cheerfully as he poked his head in, smiling broadly at the sight of his Chocorobos in stock at the shelf just inside of the shop. And, oh boy, the sweet smell of joy itself! The air smelled like a thousand candies combined together and then vaporized, giving the sensation of walking into what should be heaven.

Killua made his way under bright fluorescent lights hanging dangerously low. A shelf entirely fully stacked of Chocorobos stood grandly in front of him. Just his luck, then, Killua smirked.
