Hunting Freecss: Hunter Exam (Killua X OC)

Different x encounter

ISA'S POV

The elevator finally stopped.

Sheesh... Saved by the bell.

As the door opened, Gon and I sighed and quickly exited, eager to escape our friends' fight.

Outside the elevator door was a huge dark green undergound tunnel in which hundreds of other contestants were assembled.

A very small and greenish bald man greeted us with a welcoming smile.

"Welcome to the first phase of the hunter exam. Please say your full name, your age and your date of birth. If you're lying, we will look you up and you will fail the exam automatically."

Hm... I think that's in case someone forces others to take the exam for them.

He looked into the inner pocket of the black tuxedo jacket he was wearing and pulled out a little notepad and a pen.

He looked at Gon first. My cousin smiled. "I'm Gon Freecss. I'm twelve years old. I'm born on May fifth 2008."

(A/n: I chose this according to this year but had to look up their date of birth)

He then looked at Leorio. "What about you, sir?"

Leorio blushed and nervously looked around the crowd. "Can't I tell you that in secret? I don't really like revealing my age in public."

We all sweat dropped.

No surprise there.

Leorio went in a corner to answer the small green man's question. I shook my head.

How much pride does this man have??

"Hello!" A small and rather round-looking man said to us, a big welcoming smile on his lips. He had tan skin, brown hair, a big round nose and was holding an orange bag. "I'm Tonpa!" He presented.

"Hey, Tonpa!" My cousin called out. "I'm Gon! This is Isa and Kurapika!" He said pointing at us two. I forced a smile and waved at the man while Kurapika simply nodded.

"I don't recall ever seeing you guys here, are you new?"

How many times has this guy retaken the exam to ask a question like this??

My cousin naively gave him a positive answer. The man smiled happily. "That's great! Let's celebrate that!" He looked into his bag and gave us each canned orange sodas.

Why would anybody have a bag full of canned soda in a place like this? And even if they would, why would they share it with the first strangers they met?

Something about this man isn't right.

Gon was about to drink his juice when I pulled it away from him. Kurapika, who had just opened his drink, stopped to stare at me. "What are you doing?"

I reported my attention to Tonpa. "How many times have you taken the hunter exam?" I asked suspiciously.

He looked at me a little surprised. "About thirty-five times. I guess you could say I'm a hunter exam veteran!"

We all gasped.

This man wasted THIRTY FIVE YEARS OF HIS LIFE IN THIS?!

"That's really not something to brag about..." I whispered to Kurapika. He shook his head. "It certainly isn't."

I reported my attention to Tonpa. "That's an awful lot." I pointed out, making him chuckle nervously. "So out of everyone here, you know pretty well how tiring this thing can be, am I right?"
