Chapter 6: Mole X Target
*******
I go to the box and draw my lot. Luckily I remembered to hide my ID at the start of the test so that my hunter doesn't know what I look like. I wonder who will hunt me and I better stay away from the desperate ones. Otherwise, they might come after me if they can't catch their prey.
As I pull off the sigil, I realise that my target is an extra, so it's either me or him, and I need to take his badge off him before he hunts his prey because there's no way I'm letting him win. Bloody hell!
While my brain is flooded with thoughts, Lippo explains the rules to the other contestants. Me and my target's badges are worth three points. The others are worth one point. So if I keep my badge and the badge of my prey, I've automatically passed.

We have all arrived on the island and Hisoka is the first to leave. Thank goodness I'll be one of the first because that buys me time to find a good hiding place near a river so I can refill my flask.
Before I disembark, I make a beeline towards Leorio and Kurapika.
"I wish you good luck and I'm sure you'll both get through this phase," I say.
Kurapika looks me up and down. He still sees me as a threat.
"Don't worry, I'm not after either of you," I reassure her and Leorio's posture relaxes a little.
Hanzo has already disembarked, so I wave goodbye to Leorio and Kurapika before going to the gangplank. I thank the lady and then leave the boat. First I need somewhere to hide and then I'll get some water. I don't think I'll get water until the evening, though, because it's too dangerous to get water in the afternoon.

I have been wandering in the woods and I swear I can feel a pair of eyes stalking me. However, I don't hear the person so they must be a skillful hunter.
I hear rustling behind me, so I turn around, but the coward is still in the bushes. "Come out!" I promise not to hurt you. A man in a purple shirt leaps out of the bushes. He holds a long sword in his hands. "You must be my target because you appear so weak!" He triumphantly exclaims. I make a hand gesture taunting him to get closer. His glee turns to rage as he charges at me, swinging his sword carelessly. I keep dodging left and right as he tries to stab me, making himself open to my attack. He leaps forward, attempting to stab me in the face, but I bend over backwards, causing him to lose his balance momentarily. I kick upwards, making contact with his jaw, and I send him flying a few metres away. "Don't be so smug you prick," I insist before dashing away at full speed.
That could have been my hunter, which I hope so because, if I recall well, he will get taken out by another applicant. I weave in between tall trees in hopes that whoever is on my trail will get thrown off by my randomness.

I look up to the numerous stars that gleam brilliantly in the dark sky. Never in my life have I seen so many stars!"
I hear the sound of rushing water ahead of me, and I exhale with relief. If I wash up now, I won't have to worry about anything for the rest of the week. I look around and thankfully I don't see or sense anyone. I dive into the river after stripping. I swim back to where my bag is and remove my towel. Fortunately, I always have a medium-sized towel with me. My ability to get bloody is unpredictable. Suddenly, I hear a low whistle behind me and I turn around to see the killer clown gazing at me. I cover my chest for modesty then I sink lower into the river. "What the fuck do you want pervert!"
"Don't be so coarse I've simply come to ask you an innocent question, don't be so flustered," Hisoka purrs. "Do you know who my target is?"
"And how the fuck would I know that," I snap.
"My target's number is 384."
"If I tell you, will you not bother me for the rest of the phase?" I ask.
" I'd be delighted to get out of your hair."
"384 wears sunglasses and has dark skin but, I don't know what type of weapon he specialises in... wait why couldn't you just hunt down Tonpa and ask him instead?"
"Pigs can't talk," Hisoka said before slinking back into the shadows.
*********
It feels like the high afternoon sun is roasting me alive. I venture into another clearing, only to trip over a mound of dirt. I look down in between my legs to observe it when suddenly a head pops out from the ground. I let out a scream of terror and I raise my bag to bop it but then I realise it's Glitter-tack but without his disguise on.
"Is that you Glitter-tack?" I shout.
He merely growls at me while tossing his luscious locks over his head.
"Whoa! It's so uncanny that you can't emote without your disguise," I say as I scramble back quickly.
With a casual tone, Glitter-tack says, "You're not wearing any underwear," as though he were discussing the weather.
"And you do not need to say the first thing that comes to your mind!" I screech. "I know you don't care about morals and that bullshit but at least have some self-restraint. Jesus!"
"Why are you not wearing any underwear?" Glitter-tack asks.
"It is unhygienic for me to wear the same underwear for a while," I snap.
"Why were you not prepared?" He asks.
"This bloody exam is not something I signed up for willingly! My voice is tired as I say, "My master went behind my back... she ditched me." "And making her happy and passing this exam is all I want to do."
"Is this what Hisoka would call Mummy issues?" Glitter-tack says in a slight awe-struck voice.
"Oh fuck you," I reply before lying down beside him.
