Nami didn't think she heard Chrollo right. Or at least the words didn't process in her head because she did a double take. He looked down at her waiting to see her reaction. Feitan beat her to it.
"Hang on boss." he spoke slowly but not calmly.
"I thought we were going to wait until Nami was a few years older." He said internally begging Chrollo to change his mind. Nami scowled back at him angry that her brother was trying to delay her chance to become a spider. She hit him on the back of the head only dodging his hit by a second. The two had an intense glaring battle for a split second before Nami broke the silence.
"You were saying." She said urging her boss to continue. Chrollo smiles a bit before taking a breath.
"The annual hunter exam is coming up. I want you to attempt to pass it. And if you do I will let you join the phantom troupe." He explained. Machi and Pakunoda both opened their mouths to speak but Chrollo cut them off.
" Nami of course will not be going alone." He stated and the two let out a sigh of relief. The question was who was going to take the exam with Nami. Nami looked at Chrollo waiting for his answer. She wasn't paying attention to the fact that Hisoka had gotten up from the ledge and ventured closer to the group. Chrollo noticed and stuck out his hand.
" Since Hisoka could not control his anger last year during the exam he failed. However he is retaking the exam this year and will be going with Nami" Chrollo concludes. He didn't sound happy at the fact that Nami had to spend about a month with the jester. But he did not have a choice.
Nami didn't care. Her and Hisoka were best friends. Even though he could creep her out.
Hisoka came behind the young girl and draped his arm around her shoulders. Nami laughed at flicked his pale face. Watching from the side lines Feitan and Chrollo scowled at the two.
" Looks like your stuck with me for a little while my little dahlia" Hisoka mused. Nami scrunched her face. He had called Nami a "dahlia" for as long as she could remember. He would always say Nami was a splitting image of the flower, with her poofy dark hair and her red eyes.
" I cant wait." Nami said leaning in closer to the jester. Nami was only teasing but to Chrollo his blood was boiling at the sight of those two. He coughed and they backed up.
"The exams is in a little over two weeks so there is something that we have to do before then." Chrollo stated and looked over towards Shizuki. Her little legs ran up the Chrollo and she was carrying a glass of water with a small leaf floating in the middle. Chrollo placed the glass on a small table and waved his hand gesturing for Nami to sit.
"Yes! She's finally taking her water divination test!" Uvogin shouted and the rest of the team knocked. Nami only looked at Chrollo very confused. He grabbed her wrists and placed them in either side of the glass. Nami looked down at her hands and blushed profoundly.
" Preform Nen around the glass" He instructed. Nami took a breath and focused so her Nem was engulfing the glass.
" She is going to be an Enhancer I just know it!" Uvogin called out.
" No you idiot she is definitely going to be a Manipulator!" Nobunaga challenged. Machi hit them both on the head.
" Will you two shut up and let her take the damn test herself. Them we call all see what she is!" She scolded the two men.
At first nothing happened. Then the water changed to a blood red. Nami's eyes opened in complete shock but she didn't stop.
"Ha! See both of you were wrong! She's a Emiter!" Phinks yelled. But Nami's performance wasn't over yet.
The water began to swirl around then all of the sudden it shot out at the team like ice shards. All of them let out a gasp. Nami's hands were shaking and her breath was unsteady. Her hands fell to her sides and the water collapsed on the floor.
Everyone stared at her with complete astonishment. They had never seen anything like it. Nobody knew what that meant until Chrollo spoke up.
"She's a specialist" he mumbled softly. Everyone's eyes went straight to him. There was no way Nami could be a specialist. Nobunaga decided to test that theory and went to charge at Nami. Nobody stopped him and he just kept running. Nami heard his footsteps even though he was concealing his presence. Just in the knick of time Nami turned around grabbed his arm and slammed him into the concrete ground. Nobunaga let out a wheeze.
"The hell would you do that for!?" Nami yelled to his body in the floor. He just laughed even though all the wind got knocked out of him. She turned her attention to Chrollo.
"W-what does that mean?"Nami asked. Her hands were still shaking. Chrollo grabbed her hands and held them in his own. Her hands stopped shaking and her breath steadied.
"It means you are very special bakka" Chrollo looked at the girl and saw her eyes starting to close. Because she wasn't used to using her Nen that made Nami very tired. Before she could pass out Chrollo wanted to ask her an important question.
" Are you willing to take the hunter exam Nami?"'
" I wouldn't miss it for the world" she mumbled out then let her eyes close and she fell limp on Chrollo's body. His checks turned a light pink shade and he picked her up bridal style.
Chrollo carried her all the way up to her room and laid her down on her bed. Her breathing was soft and steady and for a minute he just watched Nami sleep. That was until he heard a knock on the door. In the doorway was Phinks, Uvogin, Pakunoda.
" What do you think boss?" Phinks asked.
"Do you think she will be able to pass the hunter exam?"
"She wanted to be a spider badly. There is no way she would let this opportunity slip through her fingers." Chrollo stated quietly. He took a deep breath then walked out of the room the others following behind him.
