Chapter 23

Last time on My Journey of Hunter x Hunter...

Looking through the bushes I catch a glimpse of Hisoka and see-

I feel a hand being placed forcefully over my mouth.

"Don't speak or you suffer." A mysterious voice tells me.

"I want you to turn around, walk away and don't look back. If you don't do as you're told, you won't get out of here alive..."

* * *

Slowly picking myself off the floor, I start walking forward, a bit like a robot, and try my very best not to look behind me but it's so damn difficult that I start to sweat like crazy.

Why did the mysterious person say that? Will I really die if I looked back? Or were they just bluffing? Why am I scared? Are they even real? Should I turn around anyway and see what happens?

I decide to become a rebel and turn around anyway.

A splitting pain shoots my heart. I quickly turn away from the guy and race walk away with beads of sweat running down my whole body. That was CLOSE! I should listen to more people in the future...not like I should do...or want to...

I start to head through the other side of the island, looking around the scenery and trying to take everything in. Now that I think of it...what if I just got reincarnated into this world at that time and lost all memory at what happened before I started taking the test? Or not. I'm not sure if my brain has any intelligent thoughts left after that close call a few seconds ago.

I guess I should make a plan right? I have no idea where my opponent is so a plan would only simplify things.

Seeing as I'm still unsure about my skills, strengths and abilities, I should use maybe either half of today or all of today to test myself and get familiar with any flaws that I may have.

FWOOSH!

"Hm?" I look around me but there's nothing to see-

FWOOSH!

I look upwards and see a few blurry movements.

I think I should leave my training/assessment for now, this looks like it might get interesting.
