Third person pov

The contestants of the hunter exam were currently 1 hour into following Satotz, who only kept going faster and faster.

Leorio could be seen arguing with an unknown boy with fluffy white hair and sharp blue eyes.

Gon soon joined in when Leorio had accused the boy of cheating because he was riding a skateboard.

“It’s not cheating. The examiner only told us to follow him, it doesn’t matter how.” Gon interjected.

Soon Leorio was left to complain by himself as the boy with white hair slowed down and approached Gon.

“How old are you?” The boy asked.

“12” Gon replied bluntly.

“I guess I’ll run too.” The boy said as he flipped off his skateboard with practiced fluent moves.

“Sugoi!” Gon exclaimed with bright eyes. “I’m Gon!”

“Killua.” The boy replied.

The two boys became friends quickly as they sped up faster toward their goal.

The two boys ended up reaching the end first at the same time yelling ‘Goal!’

To say that Satotz was surprised was an understatement. He was stunned that two 12 year olds on their first time, finished first without breaking a sweat.

He quickly got over his shock and smiled fondly at the two younger boys. He could tell that they had bright futures ahead.

Satotz shifted his attention to Gon with one thought on his mind.

‘He’s a special gem alright.’

Soon enough, people ran through the exit in groups and some alone.

It was after the gate closed, another man walked out from the side of the garage-like building that they had come out of.

This man had cuts and bruises all over him.

Killua, Gon, and some others seemed unfazed by the battered condition that the man was in.

“Don’t listen to him, he’s lying!” The unknown man yelled. “He intends to drag you all into the forest and kill you all!”

Gon pov

I was unfazed by the wounds the man had. I had seen and felt much worse.

The man had accused the instructor of being a creature of the swamp? Hah! That’s funny.

After he got through with his accusations, the group talked among each other.

‘Idiots’ I thought.

I quickly let my nen travel to the unknown man and toward Satotz. As soon as it hit Satotz, I could tell that he also put his nen up as a guard. While the unknown man dropped to his knees under the pressure.

Cards soon were shot at me, the unknown man, and Satotz.

Me and Satotz caught the cards as the man was impaled by the sharp cards.

“So that’s it, you're the real one.” Hisoka said as the crowd around him backed up.

I glared at him for good measure. ‘Why did he have to throw a card at me?!’

“Remember, the trainers here are real hunters. Those cards would have to be really easy to catch with the amount of power hunters have.”

Out of my eye, I saw Satotz eyeing me. ‘Probably because I sent my nen at him.’ I thought.
