Homeland of trash of gems

Chapter 7

Gon’s pov

It’s been 1 year since my escape. I’m 12 years old now and I’m about to board a ship for the hunter exam.

I had forgotten most of the troupe’s faces by now and I was happy.

The only two faces that I could not get out of my mind, no matter how hard I tried, were Feitan and Chrollo.

Well, the ships here!

_________

I board the ship and look around. The men on here would not make it far.

I doubt any of them know nen.

I walk around the ship, ignoring comments thrown my way.

But when I took a deep breath, I smelt it.

“Captain! A storm is coming, a big one!” I yelled back to the boat as I climbed a pillar to get a better sense of where it was going to come from.

“It's going to come in the northeast!”

Third person pov

Just like Gon had predicted. A huge storm rolled in from the northeast.

The sailors could be seen rushing around the deck to secure items and the contestants were down stairs, waiting out the storm.

Once the storm had passed, the captain had come down to check on the examinees.

And what he saw was pitiful.

All of the grown men were laying on the floor sprawled out looking sick.

“If you can’t even handle a storm like that then you're never gonna have a chance to even take the exam.” The captain said to the whole lower deck.

As he was about to turn away, a hint of green caught his eye.

The captain turned back around to see a kid in all green helping out the seasick men.

He also noticed that another teen was just reading unfazed and another man eating an apple. Also unfazed.

The captain ginned to himself.

“You three!” He called out, “follow me!”

Gon’s pov

Me and two other contestants followed the captain to the front room on the boat.

One of the people had dark brown hair with glasses and a suit. He looked old to be honest.

The other person was more familiar and I didn’t know why.

They had shoulder length blond hair with light gray eyes.

Once we reached the new steering room, the three of us lined up against the wall.

“So, why do you want to be hunters?” The captain asked.

At first I was silent. I had two reasons and only needed to share one.

“I’m looking for my father! He left me with my aunt at a young age and told me to become a hunter if I wanna find him.” I exclaimed.

I had become good at lying over the years, so I don’t think they will question it.

“You're not supposed to tell him!” The older looking man said to me.

“Why not?” I replied back.

Before the older male could speak again, the captain spoke up.

“This is a part of your hunter exam. Basically I decide if you take it or not. So be smart.”

That made the old man go quiet.

“I wish to become a hunter for revenge against the people who killed my clan, The Phantom Troupe.” The blonde said as I flinched at the mention of the troupe.

“I am the last of the Kurta clan-” I flinched even more when the boy's eyes turned red. “-and I wish to also help someone I used to know. If they’re alive, that is.”

“So you want to go for an A-class bounty for revenge? You don’t need to become a hunter for that!” The brown haired dude yelled at the blonde.

And from that moment on, a big fight occurred.

Before the old captain could go and stop it, I placed my arm in front of him and shook my head.

“You need to let them realize the other side of the story, and fighting it out is the only way right now.” Was all I said.

After the fight, the two made up and introduced themselves as Leorio and Kurapika. I of course had also introduced myself.

Third pov

The treeo soon got off and headed for the big tree that was in the opposite direction of the city Zapan.

When they got there, they met their guides and went off to the first stage of the exam.

Gon’s pov

The elevator dinged as the fight from Kurapika and Leorio stopped.

We all stepped out into a big cavern and waited.

The atmosphere was tense, I knew that much.

And it only became worse when a scream echoed through the hollow underground space.

I flinched as the screaming continued only to stop abruptly.

I looked over to where the others were looking and saw a man lying on the ground with no arms.

‘Nen’ Was the only thought that came to my mind.

“My my~” A voice rang out as I froze to my spot.

“His arms have magically disappeared! Next time say sorry for bumping into someone.” Hisoka voiced out.

A lot of murmurs were sent out through the cavern about the trick the magician had just pulled, but I paid no mind to it as I was lost in my mind.

‘Is he here to take me back? Are Chrollo still searching for me? Did they really give me up?’

My thoughts stopped as me and Hisoka made eye contact. That was until I felt a nudge on my arm. I looked to my right and saw Kurapika staring at me with a worried expression.

“Are you okay, Gon?” Kurapika asked.

“Ofcourse I am Kurapika! Don’t worry!” I reply.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Hisoka smirking. So I sent him a warning glare.

Soon enough, the farthest wall started to slide up revealing a lanky man in a suit with light purple hair and a matching mustache.

“Hello I am Satotz, your first examiner. If you would please follow me to stage two.” The man, now named Satotz, said loudly.

We all started to run after the trainer as soon as he took off running.
