《Let the hunt begin!》 Rebirth Meruemcouldonlylook on asNeteropiercedhisheartbeforebeingsweptby anexplosionnot knowingwhatthe fight would mean for one person as he died and every scattered Nen around was concentrated into a singlespeckof dustbeforetravelling through time and space leaving behind a desolate battleground. . . . This place is called Meteorcity.However,some will debate if it was even a city since it was simply a junkyard for other countries out there, and thepeople here don¡¯t exist in any record. That means if they die, no one will ever remember them, they will simply be one of manynamelessgraves...that is if they had a grave... And in this place a little girl so frail it is as if she only had a layer of skin on top offragilebones, her skin was sickly pale, hersnow whitehair was so grey people can barely tellitsoriginal color, her white eyelashes were trembling trying to open with difficulty for a last moment of defiance. She had been fighting to live for the past six years of her life in this godforsakenplace and her struggles where about to end as she istooweak to even open her eyes.Sheis unwilling, she didn¡¯t want to be one of the many people she had seen die with their corps leftthereto rot with no one to care for them.Stolen novel; please report. But try as she as hard as she can, it was obvious that this was her end...Ifitwas not for that speck of dust that decided to choose rest atop her heart and fusing with her, awakening her Nen and becoming part of it. . . . Sitting in front of a low table was an old man with big ears enjoying tea peacefully. Suddenly he felt something, his heart skipped a bit, he didn¡¯t understand what it meant but he was sure something extraordinary just happened, good or bad, he didn¡¯t know and wasn¡¯t the only one who felt it. . . . Gingfreecsswas sitting on top of a flying huge beast when he suddenly looked at the sky and let out a grin. ¡°Interesting¡± . . . The little girl was none the wiser, she simply opened herbeautiful purple eyesabruptlyand looked at her hands that where nowenvelopedin a dark redborderlineblack aurain fascination. Sheinstinctively retracted it. ¡®Zetsu¡¯ Shedidn¡¯t know how but she felt like she know everything about her Nen, how to train it, how tocontrolit, she even knows that she is anenhancer and that it wasn¡¯t difficult for her to use emission, manipulation and transmutation. And she also knows that she has a lot of aura... Too much of it even... She stood up and startedmovingforward... a grinpastedon her face, from today she knows that she won¡¯t bedyinga nobody on top of a junkyard. Today...She...Velena will start her journey to become someone to forever remeber... Meetings Velena was sitting atop a pipe inside an underground cave playing with a phone and ignoring anyone looking at her. She is now 12 years old borderline 13 and no longer the sickly kid from meteor city, her short hair was so white and fluffy, her deathly skin was still white with a rosy complexion, she wore a simple white coat, a white scarf and black gloves hiding her still growing promising curves. She was wearing nothing past her coat and her naked feet that should have been dirty from walking were so clean you would think she just left the bath. She was now preparing to take the hunter exam and become a full-fledged hunter, she actually should have been a three star for two important achievement and having a one start hunter student a year ago but refused the offer claiming that not taking the hunter exam was a boring. So here she is a should be three star hunter taking the hunter exam like a rookie in a room filled with 400 guys ogling her happily typing her phone without a care and drinking a poisoned can of juice a participant so kindly offered her when suddenly someone stood before her. ¡°Vel?¡± The voice was young mixed with disbelieve and excitement, a voice she would recognize that voice even if it was a whisper in a crowd. In a flash she put away her phone, threw away the can and leapt in the arms of the kid standing in front of her giving him a bear hug, a large smile pasted on her face. ¡°Kill!!!¡± After a moment of hesitation, Killua returned her hug, with red cheeks and a shy smile. ¡°What are you doing here? I thought uncle Silva won¡¯t let you out of the mountain for a while?¡± ¡°Oh that? I got bored so I stabbed mother¡¯s face and Milluky¡¯s stomach and fled here...¡± Killua said it casually obvious to her disbelieve, Killua still can¡¯t use Nen and his mother wasn¡¯t one of those garbage hunters that don¡¯t even know what they are doing with their Nen, she was strong, a woman worthy to be the wife of a monster like Silva Zoldick. As for Milluky, he was Velena¡¯s student, because of their cooperation in creating a new revolutionary hunter website she put him into shape and forced him to take the hunter exam last year to cement her three star achievement upon becoming a hunter and finalize the last of their partnership with the hunter association. There is no way Killua could have stabbed them unless it was an order by Zeno or Silva to test him or something like that. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Velena looked around spotting a guy with face full of pins looking at them, Illumi, she recognized him instantly and let out a heavy sigh, poor Killua he didn¡¯t know what about the ass kicking waiting for him. Looking at the innocent blue eyes full of mischief and arrogance, she wanted to shake her head. ¡°when they come for you later, don¡¯t come hiding behind my back.¡± She wanted to help him but thought better of it, taking his arrogance down a notch would be a better plan. ¡°As if!¡± He replied dismissively and she didn¡¯t want to argue with him, so she simply took his arm into hers and gave him a kiss on the cheek. ¡°Anyway, I am glad to see you.¡± After a moment, he turned his head the other side, cheeks dyed red. ¡°Same here.¡± -Shishishishi- They would have continued talking if the wall wasn¡¯t lifted and a man in a suit and without a mouth stepped from behind it. ¡°Apologize for the wait, the entry period for hunters applicants has ended. The hunter exam will now begin.¡± They decided to move ahead, neared to the man skillfully navigating through the crowd. ¡°Finale caution, the hunter exam is dangerous and may very well cost your life, those who accept the risk follow me, otherwise please exist via the elevator behind you.¡± After waiting for a moment making sure no one left, he turned around and started walking in a funny way, Velena and killua like every one else was trailing behind him with the later using his skateboard. ¡°Hope it gets exciting, I am already bored with waiting.¡± She rolled her eyes at him but didn¡¯t denies that she was also getting bored, Milluki has already warned her that the exam wasn¡¯t that difficult for Nen users, the only excitement was when one of the examinees attacked an examiner and got disqualified for it. Speaking of the devil, Velena looked toward the front where a red head wearing a clown outfit was keeping a nonchalant pace in the middle of the crowd, he was without a doubt dangerous, using Gyo she could tell he was highly proficient in Nen and she could feel he was repressing his bloodlust with difficulty, if she had to give an evaluation, hshe would evaluate him around Illumi''s level, he could perhaps seriously injure her if she let her guard down, but then again perhaps not, after all she was special, a mystery even someone like Isaac Netero can¡¯t evaluate. Perhaps he could give her a challenge, the thought put a grin on her face. Perhaps feeling her gaze he turned his head around mirroring her grin, their eyes met and an unspoken promise was exchanged. ¡°Hey kid!¡± She was brought back when a loud voice sounded next to her, she and Kil turned around to see an ossan with spiky hair, sunglasses wearing a blue suit glaring at Killua. ¡°You¡¯re cheating this is an endurance test. You can¡¯t use skateboard!¡± Before any of them could retort, a voice even more juvenile than Killua spoke. ¡°No, It isn¡¯t, he only said to follow him.¡± ¡°Gon! Who''s side are you on?!¡± She turned off the loud ossan to look at the spiky haired brown eyes and green wearing kid. Something in him attracted her just like the first time she met Killua. Their eyes met and she was intoxicated by the depth of innocence inside that see of brown. As for Gon, he didn¡¯t know why but after looking at her he averted his eyes feeling heat on his cheeks. She stepped back a few step mirrored by Killua who was also intrigued by the kid asking him for his age. ¡°Oh! I¡¯m 12.¡± ¡°Same as me and Velena, I¡¯m Killua by the way and this is my best friend Velena!¡± ¡°Nice to meet you, I¡¯m Gon¡± ¡°Hi Gon!¡± She gave him a toothy grin, and he blushed and averted his eyes again. Velena was not dunce, she was aware of the effect she has on most people, but like with Killua she didn¡¯t mind his reaction, in the contraries it pleased her. Like that they started running together with Killua jumping off his board talking about silly things. HxW2 ¡°Why don¡¯t you wear shoes?¡± ¡°I lived bare footed for so long that the first time I wore shoes, I was so uncomfortable I immediately discarded them and never put those evil things again.¡± ¡°Yeah! I never saw her wearing anything past her tights and I¡¯ve known her for three years.¡± ¡°Heh, should I also throw my shoes?¡± ¡°Yes! You should!/No! You don¡¯t!¡± They were bickering back and forth like kids going on a school outing, ignoring the panting and borderline dying examinees. Suddenly they looked back to see Leorio had stopped and was about to give up. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up, he won¡¯t make it.¡± Gon and Velena ignored killua and stayed rooted waiting for Leorio, neither of them said anything Gon was simply waiting for his friend and Velena didn¡¯t mind waiting for someone close to Gon. They didn¡¯t need to wait for long. ¡°SCREW IT!!¡± Suddenly, a gust of wind ruffled their clothes as Leorio dashed past them screaming. ¡°I WILL BECOME A HUNTER! DAMN IT!!!!¡± They exchanged a grin and Gon used some cool moves with his fishing rod to snatch the discarded suit case, before running after Leorio again. ¡°Hey Gon, Can I use your fishing rod?¡± ¡°Only if I use your skateboard.¡± Velena turned toward them. ¡°Can I also use them?¡± Without hesitation she was suddenly presented with a fishing rod and a skateboard by two blushing teens. . . . ¡°YAHOOOO!!!¡± Gon and Killua were wide eyed looking at Velena skate right and left, even using the sailing and hooking the fishing rod to a pipe on the other side to jumpeverywhere, they could only look in disbelief and envy until they found themselves before a long staircase. ¡°Hey Gon, want to race?¡± ¡°Yeah why not!¡± Suddenly they had to catch their respective items thrown to them by a grinning loli. ¡°The losers pay for dinner!¡± With that she didn¡¯t wait for them and started running ahead. ¡°¡°Hey wait!!!¡±¡± They raced up the stairs laughing and bickering to the dismay of the other participants. It wasn¡¯t long before they catch up with a Leorio screaming about money for some reason, flanked with a handsome blonde with grey eyes who posed looking at her Brilliant purple eyes stiffening for a moment before relaxing. She didn¡¯t miss his flinch but didn¡¯t give it too much thought. ¡°Kurapika we are going on ahead.¡± ¡°Ossan, catch you later!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not old! I¡¯m a teenager like you guys!!¡± At this the four of them nearly faceplanted and Velena couldn¡¯t help a smartass retort. ¡°One of the seven world mysteries!!¡± Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! ¡°OY!!!!¡± . . . ¡°Hey killua, Velena why do you want to be hunters?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t really want to be hunter, I just heard the hunter exam was difficult, so I thought it would be fun but this is a disappointment.¡± Velena wanted to sigh at Killua but refrained, she felt a little like a hypocrite. ¡°What about you Gon?¡± ¡°Me? Well my father is a hunter so I want to become hunter like him?¡± ¡°What kind of hunter?¡± Asked Velena. Gon gave her a happy and innocent smile. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I was raised by my aunt Mito and only knows my father through pictures.¡± Velena didn¡¯t realize she was looking at him longer than needed, when she caught herself she looked away with a blush. Thankfully Gon was looking ahead caught in his dreams. ¡°I wanted to know why he choose to be a hunter over being with me.¡± She can¡¯t help the smile on her face, he was something else to not have a speck of anger toward his father for abandoning him. ¡°What about you Velena?¡± It took her a moment to register the question. ¡°I...I don¡¯t really need to pass the hunter exam, if I had a reason it would be like Killua, just for fun.¡± Killua already knows why she is here, it was only Gon who was giving her a wide questioning gaze. ¡°I created a new website for the hunters with the help of Milluky, Killua¡¯s elder brother, because it was revolutionary, they offered me a three star hunter card but I wanted to take the exam like everyone else, so here I am.¡± While saying that she showed the application with her phone. ¡°Cool! can I see it?¡± It was difficult to say no while looking at those shiny eyes. ¡°Later Gon I see the exit!¡± Saved by Killua, with a dash they started the race again. Looking at their back, Velena gained an impish smirk. She didn¡¯t forget to apply Zetsu as she passed by them only releasing it when near the examiner who in his surprise lifted his left hand while turning trying to smack what he perceived as a threat. It wasn¡¯t difficult for her to evade not forgetting to give him an ¡°I am sorry¡± smile on the way, she need to stop this habit she always forget how edgy Nen users are, god knows she is perhaps the only living being able to infuriate the forever frozen Illumi. ¡°Goal!!¡± Cried Gon and Killua together jumping past the still bemused Satotz adding to his amusement. ¡°Yay!! I¡¯m first!¡± ¡°No I was first!!¡± ¡°Of course I was first!¡± ¡°Are you blind!!¡± Gon turned toward Satotz. ¡°Ne! Who was first?¡± ¡°Yeah! tell us!¡± Satotz pointed his finger behind them. ¡°She was first.¡± Slowly they turned around only to see a grinning Velena. ¡°You owe me dinner.¡± ¡°Gah!!¡± Killua rubbed his head in frustration. ¡°Hahaha!!!¡± Gon didn¡¯t care he was simply enjoying himself. . . . ¡°Hunter website NG, or HxW2 like everyone calls it is a super advanced platform only accessible to hunters and a very limited number of non-hunter like me and Killua¡¯s family.¡± Velena was explaining her creation to a star eyed Gon, a bored Killua, an intrigued Kurapika and finally dead tired Leorio. They were waiting for exam to continue beside the door. ¡°What is different from the former one?¡± Asked Kurrpika, very interested. ¡°Oh! A lot of things but the most important is storage and instant delivery!¡± Seeing the question mark above their head, Velena decided to play a prank. ¡°Gon give me leorio¡¯s suit case.¡± ¡°Huh, why?¡± ¡°Here take it!¡± Ignoring Leorio¡¯s protest Gon gave it to her without hesitation. She tapped a few key words on her phone and the suit case vanished. A pose, then... ¡°Give It Back!!!!¡± The scream alerted every living being miles away. There was a tattered man dragging a limp ape and tension in the air but it was broken by an enraged Leorio. Kurapika was closing his ears with a smile, Gon and Velena laughingwhile Killua restraining a raging Leorio with a cat like smirk on his face, they really were not caring about the surrounding tension, not even knowing that they had broke a self-proclaimed hunter examiner''s speech. Deciding it was enough, she typed again and gave it back to him. After making sure everything was ok it finally hit him, and he wasn¡¯t the only one. ¡°Interspacial storage?!!¡± All five cried in unison, and since Velena wasn¡¯t one of the five they all turned toward a bald head standing behind them in ninja outfit. And then they looked around only to find everyone looking at them, some with greed. They then looked at the tattered man and the Satotz faced ape feeling like they missed something. ¡°Ahem! I was Saying That he is an imposter?¡± Repeated the guy feeling like all his momentum was destroyed and wanted to cry. Only it seems someone was tired of his speech because a moment later he was pierced by cards while Satotz intercepted the ones aimed at him. ¡°I see, I see, it is confirmed then, a real hunter with the title we are aiming for could stop that kind of slow attack.¡± Said a smirking Hisoka while playing with his card. He said slow, but only Velena, Satots and Illumi could see it without trouble. ¡°I shall take it as a compliment, however should you attack me for any other reason, you will be immediately discalified.¡± ¡°Yeees...¡± Drawled Hissoka, not really caring. ¡°What happened exactly?¡± Asked Leorio looking at the fleeing ape. ¡°I think they tried to fool us.¡± Said Velana while picking a pebble. She draws back her arm and with an explosion sound, the pebble flew toward the ape, the shock wave shoved everyone in its trajectory throwing them aside impaling the ape reducing it to a shower of blood before impacting the ground making a dust mushroom. Looking at the little girl everyone was showing fear and amazement, more fear for the likes of Tonpa or amazement for people like Kurapika and Hanzo. The first exceptions where the excited Gon, Killua and Hisoka for without a doubt different reasons. The other exceptions would be the indifferent Illumi because...Illumi and Satotz because not only he knows that she is in the right and had to frighten the greedy idiots looking at her like a piece of meat but he also knows about the little girl Velena and that she would pass no matter what she did, even if she killed an examiners, she would still pass. The hunter association was not delusional, it is them that needed her, not the other way around. HxW2 was more than a revolution, an application created by the joint effort of Velena and the Zoldicks, more specifically Milluky Zoldick. Using programing and Nen was the first ever software integrating Nen created, using Nen in hardware is not unheard of, Greed Island is a well-known example, there are also Nen users whos power is linked with technologie like Shalnark from the phantom troup, but an application spanning across every continent... To make matter more amazing is how much useful is HxW2 especially for hunters. It can link from anywhere, even places without signal. It has an interdimensional storage, no need to say more on that point. An online shop where people can buy and sell anything with an instant delivery, and by instant, it means the moment you purchase something you find it inside your storage space. The most mundane or amazing depending on the point of view is that even if you lose your phone or computer, all you have to do is purchase a new one, redownload the app, login and everything is back like it was before. This amazing, world changing creation was created by two kids, one of them barely past her first two digits. And like that the hunter association was put on a tight spot, the Zoldicks wasn¡¯t a problem, even if they had access, they could use it and have some privileges like an infinity free storage space for their members, they can¡¯t use it to make problems for the hunters, the best of them came together to make sure of that. But Velena was another story, it was her Nen that was used to create it, she only need to infuse it and she could withdraw even from Netero¡¯s storage, so it was a difficult decision, after all for hunters it was life-saving, like those who are stranded in the wild where they had to scale mountain with a lot of equipment and food having storage can save your life, or more importantly, being alone in the wild and acquiring health problems like poison and need immediate treatment, having access to immediate health care was even more of a reason... and there are a lot more, because being a hunter was a difficult and life-threatening job. In the end the temptation was too great to pass, and Netero himself vouched for the girl after meeting her privately. Overnight Velena became the most important person in the hunter association without even being a member, the ridicule was so great that they had to beg her to take the hunter card, Satotz didn¡¯t know if he should laugh or cry, but somehow it all turned into a joke seeing a flustered little girl promising to take the exam face red from embarrassment. Excited ¡°SHo You Cam Eben Vuy Bood?¡± (So, you can even buy food?) Said Gon eyes shining with excitement while munching on his hamburger. Velena swallowed her food before replying. ¡°First don¡¯t speak with your mouth full Gon and yes you can, HxW2 is first and foremost a trading website.¡± ¡°Cool!¡± She turned around to look at Killua who was frowning while eating chocolate, this is rare, Killua don¡¯t frown with chocolate in sight. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°I think we should move ahead.¡± They were running again not much behind Satotz, and Velena understood why he was frowning she could also feel the killing intent, she simply wasn¡¯t minding it too much. ¡°Yeah you¡¯re right, we don¡¯t want to lose sight of the examiner.¡± Gon was was completely obvious. ¡°I¡¯m more concerned with Hisoka, I can smell danger from him.¡± ¡°Smell? I don¡¯t smell anything.¡± Velena nearly snorted at Gon smelling the air like a puppy. ¡°Hey leorio, Kurapika. Killua said we should go on ahead.¡± This time let out a chuckle while Killua gave him a disbelieving look. ¡°You really don¡¯t know how to feel tension, do you?¡± ¡°You idiot, if we could we would have already gone.¡± ¡°Go ahead, we¡¯ll meet you there.¡± Came the reply. ¡°Ok, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Wait hold on!¡± She stayed in pace with the two boys still eating at her burger. It didn¡¯t take long for them to get lost and separate from the others, Velena could find them easily but she was not in any hurry and didn¡¯t want to interfere with the exam as much as she can since it can become a valuable experience for the boys. She sensed something and stopped in her tracks.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Velena?¡± Killua turned their head toward her perplexed, only to see her eyes full of mischief giving him a bad feeling before the ground trembled and he felt everything go dark. Velena repressed her laughter and sat on top of the giant...frog? Waiting for them to find the way out. She wasn¡¯t the least bit concerned, Killua can easily get out. That is why she wasn¡¯t surprised when the frog retched them out. ¡°I think she didn¡¯t like how we tasted.¡± Gon let out a nervous chyckle. ¡°It was this stuff.¡± Said Killua while taking out Tonpa¡¯s drink. ¡°To think you were saved by laxative, Hahahahaha!!!¡± They only now saw Velena watching them laughing her ass off. ¡°You knew it was there and you let us get eaten on purpose!!!!¡± Accused Killua with tick mark. ¡°Relax Kill, you should look at the bright side.¡± ¡°What bright side?¡± He leaned over her with arm crossed, she gave him an innocent look. ¡°You fed it laxative and still got went out through the mouth.¡± It took them a moment to get her meaning before they started retching. . . . ¡°Gon?¡± See Gon turn back, Velena was perplexed. ¡®That way...¡¯ After focusing she understood and was amazed at how Gon could feel it. ¡®Did he smell the scent of blood?¡¯ She mused as she followed him. She hid behind a tree just in time to see Gon smack Hisoka on his face with his fishing rod, that was a little impressive. Velena didn¡¯t interfere even when Hisoka punched Leorio or when he was toying with Gon, she could tell that Hisoka wasn¡¯t going to kill them and if she helped them every time something happens, they would stay weak and be too much reliant on her, not only will lead to them staying weak in this unforgiving world, but more important is that they would stay in her shadows forever being stifled leading to a lot of resentment, Milluky was like that before she came into his life. However, when Hisoka was strangling Gon and his control was slipping, she could watch no longer. . . . Hisoka was ecstatic, he thought this exam would be boring but didn¡¯t expect all those surprises, not only was there a monster looking little girl, but there are a lot of potential especially this kid, to think he could smack him with that unassuming fishing rod... This so exciting, it was difficult to control his urge to kill the first think in front of him, like the kid struggling in grasp. He needs to control himself, but it is difficult... It was only the pain he felt in his arm that woke him up, he didn¡¯t see her coming, that naked little feet that could only be called delicate had smacked his arm aside, breaking it and forcing him away from his pray. ¡°Cough! Cough! Velena?¡± ¡°You ok Gon?¡± ¡°Yeah I¡¯m ok¡± She didn¡¯t even spare hisoka a look, making sure her friend was fine. But when she looked at him, he could feel a chill down his spin. ¡®Ahhhh, This is soooo exciiiting...¡¯ This was too much for him, their momentum was getting stronger, the air was heavy and it felt like nothing could stop the fight now. Or more like nothing but a phone call... Taking out his cellphone, he received the call without lifting his eyes from the threat in front of him. ¡°Hisoka, we nearly reached the site of the second phase, you should come now.¡± ¡°Ok, I''ll be right there.¡± He put the phone away before addressing the girl in front of him. ¡°A shame, but I need to go, as for your friends, I wasn¡¯t going to kill them, they passed.¡± She gave him a smirk. ¡°Aaand? Did I pass?¡± She took a step forward, her momentum increasing. ¡°Or should I ask if you have what it takes to judge if I pass or not?¡± He didn¡¯t say anything, his smirk simply gone up a notch. He put Leorio over his shoulder and started to walk. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t want to burden a lady with more baggage, see you later.¡± Velena didn¡¯t stop him, she simply stood there looking at the trembling Gon, till Kurapika showed up. ¡°Gon, Velena are you alright?!¡± . . . They were silent. Kurapika and Velena keeping pace with Gon who was walking ahead confident in where they need to go. Velena never took her eyes off of his still trembling form. ¡°Velena?¡± ¡°Yes Gon?¡± ¡°Why am I so excited?¡± She waited for him to go on. ¡°When fighting with Hisoka, or when the two of you were about to fight, I could tell I was outmatched, the chill I got looking at the two of you made me want to bow down, but it was not fear that I felt, I was excited.¡± He looked at her with those shiny eyes. ¡°Am I weird?!¡± She could not repress her laugher. ¡°Hahaha, Yes Gon, you are weird, lovably weird!!¡± The three of them made it to their destination laughing all the way. Velena Cook! ¡°Why am I so beat up?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t remember clearly, this is so weird.¡± After looking at the confused Leorio, the three of them exchanged look. ¡°We should probably not tell him.¡± ¡°Yeah...¡± Velena and Gon agreed whole heartedly with Kurapika. ¡°Gon! Velena!¡± ¡°Killua!/Kil!¡± The two of them made their way toward the white haired boy. ¡°I thought you were not going to make it.¡± Teased Killua not really meaning it. ¡°Yeah...like that would ever happen...¡± Velena rolled her eyes at him. ¡°I just had to follow the trail of Leorio¡¯s cologn.¡± Gon said in passing. ¡°You tracked his scent?! Gon you¡¯re weird arn¡¯t you?¡± Velena gave him a look. ¡°And you are talking about someone being weird?¡± Killua rubbed his head with an unconfortable smile. ¡°I think the three of us can¡¯t really talk about people being weird.¡± If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. The laugher was interupted by Setotz. ¡°Congratulation everyone, the first faze is over, I shall leave you here, good luck!¡± And with that he was gone, they turned around just in time to see the giant gate opening, to reveal a courtyard with several kitchen sinks, a women with green hair relaxing on a couch. Behind her was a giant drooling. ¡°All those who passed the first faze please enter!¡± She waited for them to come near before resuming her speech. ¡°Welcome, I''m Menchi, your examiner for the second phase.¡± ¡°And likewise, I am Buhara.¡± The examinee waited for them to continue, but instead of a speech, they were presented with a growling stomache...or was it a growling tiger? The sound wasn¡¯t that far away.... ¡°Sounds like you are getting hungry Buhara.¡± ¡°I¡¯m starving Menchi.¡± Menchi stood up. ¡°There you have it, the second phase will be...¡± She let the tension get higher before dropping the bomb. ¡°Cooking!¡± A pose, then people were getting skeptical. ¡°Why do we have to cook? We came here to become hunters!¡± Said someone, not understanding the point. ¡°Don¡¯t you get it? You have to cook a meal that can satisfy our pallets, because we are gourmet hunters!!¡± Everyone started laughing and ridiculing them. But there was someone who was feeling dread, and that person was Killua. Killua turned around to look at a star eyed Velena. Seeing how excited she was, he wanted to face palm. . . . The group was now searching for pigs with the four guys trailing behind an excited Velena. Killua signaled for them to get close, so Velena couldn¡¯t hear. ¡°Guys no matter what happens, don¡¯t get close to what Velena cooks!¡± ¡°Huh, why?!¡± ¡°Shhhh!!¡± Killua shushed a loud Leorio before elaborating. ¡°Velena has a gift for cooking.¡± He said with a straight face. ¡°Isn¡¯t that good?¡± Asked Kurapika, not getting what is the problem. ¡°Yes! she has a gifted for cooking, everything she cooks becomes poison!!¡± They looked at him in disbelief, he let out a sigh. ¡°Listen guys, am not joking! I myself is immune to poison but still nearly died I don¡¯t know how many times and my brother who was once a as fat as pig, eating all day long has now got a serious case of eating disorder thanks to her!¡± Seeing a blue faced Killua, the other three were creeped out. Looking at the happy loli walking in front of them, they started feeling fear all over again. ¡°Here they are!¡± Looking at the place where Velena was pointing... ¡°Aren¡¯t they a little too big?¡± ¡°Should we run?¡± ¡°Yeah...¡± . . . Velena was sitting atop a dead pig enjoying the show as everyone was running away from the pigs, it only needed a punch from her to kill her pig, everyone else was not having it that easy. It was a while later that Gon discovered the weakness on the forehead and for everyone else to copy him. After that everyone started cooking, Killua and the others made sure to stay away from Velena who after finishing didn¡¯t notice the other candidates crumbling around her face green and breathing with difficutly. When she presented her dish to the examiners... ¡°Rejected!!!¡± Cried Menchi with a tick mark. ¡°Why?!¡± Velena was shocked. ¡°Why?! Perhaps, it¡¯s the purple color! Or perhaps it¡¯s the poison fume!!!¡± By the way, Buhara was still holding a ¡®you pass¡¯ plate and drooling. ¡°Stop it Buhara!! You can¡¯t eat this!! You will die!!¡± ¡°But Menchi, it looks delicious!¡± ¡°Where does it look delicious! I don¡¯t even know if it is cooking at all!!¡± Velena made it to Killua and Gon¡¯s side hanging her head down with clouds overhead. ¡°It¡¯s ok we also didn¡¯t make it.¡± ¡°Yeah, cheer up Velena!¡± Killua patted her head while Gon patted her back trying to comfort her with wry smiles.
