CHAPTER 9

Killua's POV

'Wha.. she slept on my shoulder.', blushingly Killua thought.

'And what did she mean when she said that her power is scarier?', wondered Killua.

(so first impression of Killua about Mia.)

'Hm, the other four applicants came and there's a boy and a girl around my age huh.' Thought Killua.

'the boy's very excited but the girl's just the opposite it seems well; I'll see what they are like later.' Decided Killua.

*WHEN LEORIO WAS SHOUTING AT KILLUA*

'What's this old man shouting about, the girl beside him is riding skates too. Oh, both the girl and boy have common sense, unlike this oldy.' thought Killua.

"how old are you both?", Killua asked.

"12". 'hm, same age huh.' "Think I'll run for a while", said Killua after the cool stunt.

"wow, cool.", said Gon.

"yeah", Mia said similing.

'She looks more beautiful while smiling, wha what am I thinking about?', Flustered Killua thought.

*DURING COOKING TEST*

'She caught the pig so fast and unlike other girls I've seen outside the missions she's more strong too huh.' thought Killua.

'Hm, I'll just follow what she is doing after she shows it to the examiners *after a while* Man it's so much work I'll just fail this phase but her dish looks tasty I'll try it *after eating a bite* it's salty but it tastes good.', thought Killua then ate the leftovers.

Mia's POV

We arrived later than the fixed time. This place is so tall and there's nothing but grassland and forest around it.

"Ahem, everyone this is the site for the hunter exam's third phase you'll be competing here at the top of the trick tower. In order to pass the exam, you have to reach the base of the tower alive, the time limit is 72 hours, and with that, the exam's third phase will begin. Good luck to each and every one of you.", said Mr. Beans.

"Now what are we supposed to climb down?", asked Leorio.

"Well I hope not that would be suicide.", said Kurapika.

*a contestant laughing* "Sure for most guys for an expert climber like me this is gonna be a piece of cake.", said the same contestant while climbing down the tower.

"Look at how fast he's going.", said Gon.

Then we saw a group of an octopus, a baby, and a bird's hybrid pink creature it was funny and scary at the same time then one of them ate the contestant who was climbing down the tower.

"S…So I guess we can't climb down the tower at least not like this.", scared Leorio said.

"Yeah", I said.

Then all of the contestants started looking for a way to go down the tower, then me. Killua and Gon saw a contestant going down the trapped door right after that Gon found six hidden doors.

"Kurapika, Leorio.", called Gon.

"What is it Gon?", asked Kurapika.

"Look at this we found a trapped door but there's a lot of them around it.", said Gon pointing to the direction of the trapped doors.

"Okay good job now what do you say we head down?", asked Leorio.

Then we all stood by the trapped doors.

"On the count of three, we all will hop in at the same time.", said Leorio.

Then we all went through the trapped doors on the count of three.

"HUMP" * SOUND OF LEORIO FALLING ON HIS FACE*

"We all fell in the same room huh.", I said.

Gon and Killua laughed weirdly at each other.

"That was certainly a brief farewell.", said Kurapika dusting his clothes.

"No kidding, no one expected that we all will land in the same room.", said Leorio.

'I expected it.', I thought.

Then Gon stood in front of the monitor and read," The six who dropped into this chamber must find their way down the tower by consensus of the majority."

"Wait five?", questioned Leorio.

"Look they even left us with six wrist timers." Gon took one of the watches.

"with buttons marked x and o.", said Killua.

"Do you think it's possible that we won't be able to leave this room at all until there are six of us?", questioned Kurapika.

"Very good my name is Lippo I'm the prison warden here not to mention your examiner for the third phase of the exam.", said Lippo.

"Did he say prison warden?", asked Kurapika.

"We've gone to the trouble of preparing multiple routes through the tower and the one you've chosen is the path of majority rule, if you want to pass and I'm sure u do cooperation is the essence of success one person acting selfishly can derail the entire group and of course, you won't be permitted to start until there's six of u. That's it all of u best of luck.", said Lippo.

"We seriously can't start until someone else show's up?", asked Leorio in disbelief.

"yeah, we'll just have to wait.", I said after wearing the watch.

Then Killua started to play with Gon's fishing rod and Gon rode Killua's skateboard while Kurapika and Leorio were standing by the wall and I was listening to music on my ear pods.
