It was [Name]'s first time seeing her sword do that, she didn't expect that to happen but regained herself together and acted as if she did.

"Surprised?" The girl smiled. Pokkle's eyes began to twitch, not understanding what lit his arrow on fire.

In an instant, [Name] then charged toward him catching him off guard. He then tried to make a run for it only to bump into the pillar behind him instead. As he turned around he was met to the sword being directly thrown at him in such high speed that he almost nearly forgot to dodge, but luckily he did.

As he ducked down, the blade was inches away from the top of his head. Pokkle then made a run for it, trying to ready up his Bow with one of the special arrows he used occasionally that was dyed with a type of antibiotic at the tip of the metal. [Name] walked up to her sword that stuck out from the pillar, pulling it out with ease only to turn around face to face and saw Pokkle aiming at her already.

"Give up now!" He howled, holding up his composure. "If this arrow just barely touches the surface of your skin, you won't be able to get rid of the burning sensation for weeks!" He tried scaring you.

Darkly, she held her sword in front of him, staring deep into his soul.

"And if I don't?"

The single reply made him shake to his core.

"Fine! You're just asking for it now you-!!"

In a flash, [Name] had bolted towards the ginger-haired man, squatting down low sweeping his feet with the kick of her leg impressing Bodoro with her combat skill. Pokkle fell to the floor with a cough, dropping his weapon as [Name] held up her sword, pointing it at his neck.

"Give up," She said with wide eyes.

"Or die."

Pokkle couldn't tell the unfamiliar feeling he felt as he stared deeper into the blade and her [Eye colour] eyes. The feeling didn't fade away any time he looked away either. Darkness and shadows overwhelmed his mind until he closed his eyes, seeing that he couldn't take it anymore.

"I..."

"Give up!"

Shortly after, [Name] softened her gaze at the man that stood below her. She then removed the sword away from his neck and tucked it back behind her.

"The winner is, [Name]!"


"Y'know, you weren't so shabby?" Menchi said picking at her nails before looking at them again satisfied while escorting the girl beside her outside.

Since [Name] had passed the Final Exam and concluded to be a Hunter, she was immediately sent off into one of the other hotel rooms to complete her brief orientation. Although she wished she could have stayed back to watch Gon's upcoming fight with Hanzo, she knew that the brief orientation was more important than his match.

Menchi was in charge of explaining the basics of the Hunter License to [Name], telling how she passed the Hunter exam and can no longer fail. If [Name] ever felt not qualified to be a hunter, the most she could do was destroy or sell the license although it wouldn't be as much help. The card allowed [Name] to enter 90% of countries that limited immigration and 75% of places that are restricted in the world. 95% of public facilities can come to Hunter's aid with minimum to no cost. Menchi congratulated her for successfully passing the exam as a rookie. She then explained the benefits of the license.

Menchi then pulled out a black-matted folder opened it and revealed the hunter license that [Name] had first laid her eyes on in the attic of her home. Only this time, it was hers to keep.

"Congratulations [Full Name] on passing the exam!" She exclaimed.

[Name] took her hand out and reached inside the folder, picking up the license, having a familiar feeling swell up inside her. She then looked up at Menchi smiling.

"Thank you!"

Menchi then sat down in front of her, looking at how she beamed brightly looking at her official Hunter License.

"So...?" She spoke suddenly making [Name] put her attention on the mint-green-haired girl.

"How was the exam overall?" She asked smiling using her palm to rest her chin on while [Name] began to ramble about her adventure during her journey so far, even though Menchi had already known everything from the beginning, she still let the 12-year-old girl speak passionately.



Hours passed by, and the two girls spoke to each other non-stop completely forgetting the exams were still going on until suddenly a loud gasp of murmurs was heard from the battle room.

[Name] and Menchi's eyes glanced towards where the sound came from, realizing it came from where the matches were still going on. The two girls shared a worried look at each other before making their way to the room.

As the two walked up to the doors, [Name] stood there confused about what was happening until her eyes landed on the corpse of Bodoro lying on the floor, bleeding out. But what concerned her more was the person who killed him, was Killua.

Leorio began to shout as people like Pokkle and Kurapika gasped in shock while bodyguards came to Bodoro's aid, only to announce he passed away.

"Match End! Disqualification by Killua!" Mausta shouted as everyone began to murmur.

[Name] scanned the room sweat-dropping nervously, she wasn't sure what happened when she was gone but soon understand when she saw the fair-white-skinned toned man she met during the Fourth Phase looking back at Killua with zero emotion crossing his arms.

[Name] knew he had something to do with this and began marching her way to him, catching his attention.

"Oh."

He said now looking at her turning his body completely towards her as he held three pins between his fingers. The crowd began to scramble, turning into a big mess.

"What did you do to Killua?!" She shouted demanding an answer as the talking grew louder in the background.

He hummed staring into her eyes, "There you are."

He raised his arm. [Name] flattened her brows, unsure what he was doing until Kurapika caught a glance at the two of them, realizing she was now here. The blonde man widened his eyes in fear, reaching for a hand to try to save her.

"No [Name]! Look out, he's going to kill you-!"

[Name] couldn't react fast enough when the warning slipped from Kurapika's mouth. Her eyes widened in fear realizing it was too late. When she looked back, the long-haired man's pins had launched directly at her, only a millimetre away from her eyes. Everything seemed to go into slow motion for [Name], not even being ready for her death. She closed her eyes, preparing for the pain until suddenly.

A quick breeze of air lingered through her nose as she felt her feet leave the ground in a flash.

She slowly opened her eyes only to see that Killua, had now gotten a hold of her, carrying [Name] in his arms.

"Killu-"

"Quiet." He shut her up quickly.

Now that he was up close, [Name] noticed how the aura around him faded into a despicable state of horror. His eyes were cold-shot of a deep blue, the redness around his eyes making him look horrific. She quietly gasped seeing the lifeless Killua but his grip on her was as gentle as ever making [Name] sooth into his touch.

Without a word, Killua began walking away from the pinned guy with [Name] in his arms bridal style. His hands were still bloodied but she didn't care, all she cared about was if Killua was fine, thus, she didn't let out another word and did what the white-haired man instructed.

As Killua opened the door, the [Hair colour] haired girl took one last final look at the long-haired male with bug eyes, to which she found him already staring at her as he watched the two exit with [Name] still in his younger brother's arms.


After what seemed like hours, [Name] still lay silently in Killua's arms, not speaking a word, only feeling it was best to speak to him when the murderous aura Killua had around him faded away.

She didn't know what happened back in the room where the matches took place and didn't know where Killua was now bringing her. The two walked in the forest for a long time. [Name] started to feel conscious if she was weighing him down in his arms. She began to move her head around, looking above, to the side, the other side, and below looking at the ground causing Killua to look down at her for the first time in 4 hours.

"What are you doing?" He asked. [Name] stopped in her movements. Feeling nervous as she interrupted the silence. Her eyes slowly travelled upwards, meeting the piercing gaze of his deep blue eyes.

"...Where, are we going?" She asked blinking nervously. He shifted his eyes back forward.

"Republic of Padokea."

[Name] swallowed thickly, looking to where Killua's eyes moved on to, seeing that they had entered restricted areas of where an airship was about to take off. She then realized they were going to sneak into the ship.

Killua jumped into the air, then blended in with the crowd of people who lined up to enter the airship as workers began taking the other passengers' luggage.

The cat-like boy still had [Name] in his arms, carrying her while moving forward each time the line got shorter, indicating people were hoping on board of the ship.

[Name] lay there awkwardly, finding it rather embarrassing that people began to stare at the two children in confusion. But yet, Killua had no regard for other people's opinions.

Just then, a worker noticed the odd children who were boarding the ship and so, he came up to them both and questioned, "May I see your ticket?"

Killua looked at him threateningly, sending shivers down his spine. The worker realized the dried-up blood on his fingers and the horrid aura the boy had around him. Furthermore, the man didn't ask any more questions and stepped aside letting the two in. The door of the ship shortly closed after they had entered, resulting in the ship taking off into the sky.

As Killua walked along the isles of seats, he found an empty aisle with 4 seats, 2 on each side of the walls and there stood a glass window, revealing the outside.

Walking in, Killua finally placed [Name] down nearest to the window as she eased her legs onto the floor, placing her hands on her lap as she watched the white-haired boy carefully. Soon enough he settled down right beside her.
