5. Exam Begins- Phase 1

"So you are this year's rookies" a voice came when we received our badges. we turned over looked who it is and it turned out to be Tonpa the self proclaimed rookie crusher.

"You can tell by just looking at us" Gon asked immideately. "It's not difficult to find out as I can be considered huntet exam veteren""this is my 36th attempt in hunter exam".

"this is nothing to brag about"Leorio whispered to us.

As we talkedvon he introduced us to all the people that are taking hunter exam more than once Bodoro the karate master, amori brothers, bourbon the snake charmer, Todo the wrestlers and so on.

"Aahhhh" we heard some one screaming from the crowd .

we saw someones arms were turned into flower petals.

"Ah! Now you see them and now you don't"

"And if you bump into some one you should apologise" tells Hisoka to the man who lost his arms.

~gasp~

we all visibly gasped seeing this even me.

Even if I knew what would happen, knowing and literally seeing the nen technique at work is really marvellous, even though I can't use the aura just yet but I can sense aura which are near by.

'Hisoka only had Bungi gum hatsu how does he make the man's arms turn into petals' I was thinking and then it flashed me 'he must be using his texture surprize to make it look like flower petals and without Gyo* we have no idea what's happening there, truely brilliant' I thought.

'That scared me but also want to learn nen even more' I was thinking.

"Great the psychopath is also attending the hunter exam again this year" Tonpa says to us in wispers.

"You know him mister Tonpa" Gon immideatly questions Tonpa.

"Hisoka the magician, he was the top pick for passing the hunter exam last year but got disqualified because nearly killing the examiner because of a he didn't approve of" Tonpa gives us the info about Hisoka.

"Then why is he allowed to take the exam then"Leorio yells.

"Even a devil himself can take the exam if the examiner says yes, thats how the exam works" I contributed to the conversion stealing the lines Tonpa was about to say.

After some conversation Tonpa takes out 4 cans of juices and hands it us saying" Here is a toast for new friendship".

I can see other applicants talking about Tonpa being the real trickster and acting all friedly to the rookies. As I hear this "I was all thirsty, thanks" says Leorio.

Gon and Kurapika thanks him as well.

I took the juice but didn't drink but was acting like I did untill Gon tells it's gone bad.

~bah~

"what happened Gon" I asked Gon.

"Mr.Tonpa I think this juice might have gone bad" Gon replied.

Leorio speays the juice out of his mouth, Kurapika dunks it to the ground and I who was waiting for this movement crushed the can. Immideately Tonpa acting like he didn't knew got on his knees and appologiced to us and before I can say anything to him Gon immideatly forgives him and asks how Tonpa was doing.

" I ate all herbs and plants back home in the mountain. so, I know immideately if something is wrong" Gon says and Tonpa twitched hearing this and thinking 'he had to be some stupid mountain boy'.

After this Tonpa leaves us thinking about how the rookies this year are real nasty and all and we were having some small conversations among ourselves.

"Guys I overheard some applicants talking about being the self-proclaimed rookie crusher and we have to be alert around him and I alsoheard that he took hunter exam 36th time to enjoy the rookie crushing every year" I said to them.

"I don't think he is that bad he seemed like a good guy" Gon says not knowing about Tonpa.

"What then why is he allowed to take the exam then" Leorio asks me yelling about the examiners and before I reply Kurapika answere that " I think that the exam committee willingly allowed him to weed out the weaker and incapable applicants and atleast this way they have chance to retake exam next year and not die in the exam" hearing this Leorio shuts up and got little nervous about the part of dying in the exam.

"Is it really that bad, I mean the death rate in the exam" asks Leorio expecting no for an answer and before Kurapika could answer we heard a loud sound like an alarm clock

~tring~ ~tring~ ~tring~ ~tring~ ~tring~ ~tring~ ~tring~ ~tring~ ~ tring~ ~tring~

We all turn towards the direction in which the sound is comming from but the view is blocked by the wall . As we watch the big wall ahead of us lifts up and we get to see a tall man wearing a suit and pink hair parted in the middle of the head to both sides, and he had long arms and legs .

After getting everyone's attention he stips the wierd looking alarm hanging from his hands.

" The hunter exam will be very dangerous and difficult to pass and if there is anyone who wants to drop out then now's your chance" he says and he looks at his wrist watch.

And after 5 minutes or so he says "The entry for the 287th hunter exam is officially closed" .

He turns around and starts to march forward in a wierd fashion and says " Everyone follow me and I will be leading you people to the site of the 2nd phase of the exam".

Hanzo who was in the front asks" The what about 1st phase of the exam".

"The 1st phase of the exam is already underway" the examiner replies.

" Oh I forgot to introduce myself I'm Satotz and I am the examiner for the 1st phase of the hunter exam and responsible for leading you to the next phase" he introduces himself and explains about his job discription.
