"today is such a nice day" Nobunaga was talking to himself.
"Yep it is" shizuku replied.
They were right, sunny but not too hot, the breeze was refreshing and there weren't any clouds.
That day I didn't wear a shirt or any kind of coat or crop top, we needed to do a long walk and I didn't want to sweat too much, I was wearing white ripped jeans and black leather boots that were similar to the boss's boots.
"Uhm tenshi, I couldn't help but notice your new tattoo" The boss said in a deep and low tone of voice,  "Uh you mean this one in my right arm? Well yeah, it's new" I replied looking at my right arm, "Uh? I didn't notice it,  maori bracelet uh?" Nobunaga asked, "What does it mean?" He replied again.
"If you look closely in the back and inside of my forearm you can see that this isn't a plain maori tattoo" I explained letting him look,
"Mmh, octopus? Cuttlefish? Maybe squid?" He asked puzzled.
"Octopus, an octopus by itself means intelligence, mystery, diversity, curiosity, illusion and foresight or insight, but maori octopus also means survival of the family and represents family" Shizuku explained.
"All the limbs are separated entities that works for the survival of the octopus" the boss remarked, "Exactly like a spider, and exactly like the spider it has eight expendable limbs that can still survive if you are going to separate them" I replied.
"Plus the octopus is the scientist of the animals world" I said while playing with my hair.
"When you decided to make another tatto?" Nobunaga asked, "Like A month or two ago, but I made it only a week ago, basically the last time that I went to the city." I replied.

Damn, where did this guy go? Isn't he nearby? I hope that at least recruiting this guy is going to be worth it.
He's the nen user that killed omokage who was the number four before me, so he should be part of the assault team, one of the expendables.

We walked for a bit and then arrived at an abandoned place out of Glum city in glam gas land, and that was definitely him, the clown.
"Uh, I see, you guys are already here" He said smiling.

Hisoka's pov

The Danchou is strong really strong, 110 perhaps 115, the swordman is a nice toy too, 85 I would say, maybe 88, what about the girl with glasses, she doesn't seem to be a fighter type, I would say between 65 and 70.
What about the shirtless guy? He seems really serious but his aura isn't intimidating, at least not now, his physique is highly defined but still slim, probably judging by his cold presence I would say that he isn't an emitter or enhancer which is a bonus, he should be roughly 90 or 95.
I quickly looked at my deck of cards and exclaimed "What a marvelous group of fighters", "What do you mean?" The swordsman replied, "Nobunaga I think that he is just a creep" the shirtless one coldly replied,
I smiled and stood up "You shouldn't feel threatened by my presence, that was just a compliment", "How could you threaten us?" The shirtless one coldly replied.
"Enough small talk" danchou said,
"Hisoka you are going to be the new member 10, you already know the rules." The Danchou explained.

Tenshi pov

"So hisoka, why did you want to join the troupe" I asked while touching my hairs,
"Mhh, I love fighting and I have nowhere to go" he replied smugly, "Is that why you killed omokage?" Nobunaga asked, "Well I can't complain since he was an ass" Nobunaga remarked, "Well he was exciting enough but physically he was way too weak, he didn't even last that long" Hisoka said looking at the ceiling.
"Tch, I'll never understand you guys, do you find getting hurt exciting, I end fights quickly without hesitation." I replied
"We are here for something, for someone actually, Hisoka you will stay with Tenshi, Nobunaga shizuku you two will stay with me" the Danchou spoke, "Hisoka just listen to what I say, I am not authoritative just efficient" I explained.

The boss was with shizuku and nobu going back at meteor city, while I was there with the creepy clown waiting for random people nen users who were our enemies.
"Why are we killing these guys" Hisoka asked,
"Not just for fun" I replied,
"for what then?" He asked, "I don't know, they told me, but I wasn't listening, I was totally absentminded" I calmly explained,
"Probably they are searching for us, Maybe" I replied, "Revenge?" he asked,
"I think that they have something to do with the mafia and the raid that we did not so much ago, they are hitmans probably, not sure though" I responded while touching,
"Then why only us?" He asked, "Why are you curious? Because we need to see what you can do and familiarize with your abilities, and I am here because there is no need to bother other members" I explained, "Easy task?" He asked,
"Definitely" I replied.

We started searching for some of the hitmans, we let them knew that we waited for them at Glum city.
"Hisoka I let them to you if you want, I really don't mind" I said, "Thanks but no since they should be weaker than us" he replied.
"Nen users, Phantom troupe?" A full tattoed bulkhead angrily asked sounding quite annoying, "Your tone is annoying, annoying me isn't a great idea" I said while winding up my arm, He used KO in his right hand and touched the ground for few seconds causing a small explosion, Hisoka quietly hummed he was probably a bit disappointed by the hitman.
"So? Should this be a warning, or is it a comedian thing? Like a joke?" I replied puzzled, "You brat, you can't understand" he said slowly walking forward, "I do understand, You see the explosion was slow and weak, you need to left your body defenseless to cause a small blast, and your aura output is quite bad, honestly you have already used like 20/25 percent of your total stamina." I explained, he tried to charge but hisoka thrown a card in his head piercing the skull.
"Small annoyance" Hisoka murmured,
"Yeah, Dull, weak, slow, predictable, bad temper and inexperienced, basically a medium low tier emitter just weak and unbearable" I calmly stated, "He didn't have any talent at all, judging by his ren and ko he did train a lot to achieve nothing but death" I replied.
"But seriously this is odd, random hitmans have been hired from the mafia to kill us, it's has already happened but this time is different, and I don't understand why we should fight them here at Glum city at all, honestly it's confusing" I questioned looking in the sky and then crouching down,
"Probably it's just a little game to see if you are a reliable fighter" I explained.
Hisoka didn't said anything, we started searching for the other hitmans.
Three figures were tailing us trying to hide their presence, until I suddenly stopped exasperated and sighed "Come on, could you three just come out, I don't want to lose too much time, just come here and die already" As I spoke a girl came down, she had red hairs and black eyes, she looked at hisoka trying to threaten him.
"Hisoka I'll kill the others two, you can have the girl" I said looking at him, he smiled and nodded, I jumped forward, charging at the two who were still hiding, a massive fat guy came out and I kicked him, he didn't flinch.
"You see the vast majority of the phisical impacts that I receive are dispersed in the ground near me" he said laughing, I laughed and made a sadistic smile as I grabbed his arm and I threw him in the air, jumped and punched is face, he was visibly disoriented and confused, bleeding from then nose and the mouth, when he fell down I positioned myself on top of his chest, threatening to kill him if he didn't tell me his friend's power.
But his friend immediately arrived and I had to quickly kill the fat guy, the other one was tall slim and had afro hairs, he didn't seem to be a fighter, perhaps he was the tracker or the scout of the team, instead of charging he backed up a bit and made a defensive stance, "Counterattacks are really effective but they won't work against me" I said looking at him in the eyes, he wasn't sure of his capabilities, perhaps he was scared.
I touched the ground with both of my hands and started to quickly "decompose" all the concrete, but I was actually using the concrete as a way to expand my power to destroy his shoes and starting to destroy his feet, but then he jumped, I didn't have enough time to destroy all of his body, this technique was slower and costed me a large quantity of stamina, his feet and legs were bleeding, by that time hisoka had already killed the girl and he was observing me amused.
The guy didn't know what to do so when he touched the ground again instead of using the same technique I decided to use my "prison" move, I quickly destroyed part of the concrete and created a large slot under his feet, he fell down and I destroyed the concrete near him and recreated it as spikes, he got stabbed and blocked by the concrete as I closed the slot.
"I like to call this move 'Hellcatraz'" I smugly said, "How peculiar, How nice" Hisoka said sounding quite excited, "Are you a manipulator?" He asked, "Uhm, yeah, I manipulate matter in general to be precise" I replied, "How wonderful" Hisoka said grinning, "Well that 'Hellcatraz' move costs a lot of stamina, plus it leaves me defenseless exactly like the one that I did before, but actually if I wanted to I could've just touched them and destroyed their bodies" I replied.

Then hisoka asked me some questions about my moves and why I named them in that way, Hellcatraz was a wordplay between alcatraz like the prison beacause there's no way out, and hell because it's underground and it literally kills you, I also explained him some others tricks with my hatsu, he seemed very observant, I probably captured his attention in some way.
