「 The feeling 」| 𝙏he phantom troupe

✩ 12 spiders | IV

-- Months later --

"Alright! Now that we've got everyone in the troupe, we should begin by getting to know each other.

"Number #1 is Nobunaga,
  Number #2 is Feitan,
  Number #3 is Machi,
  Number #4 is Omokage,
  Number #5 is Y/n,
  Number #6 is Shalnark,
  Number #7 is Franklin,
  Number #8 is *********,
  Number #9 is Pakunoda,
  Number #10 is Phinks,
  Number #11 is Uvogin,
 and Number #12 is Kortopi."

"Now, if you'd like. You may socialize. I have no orders for now." Chrollo said, hiding into the shadows.

"So, y/n really hasn't been anywhere?"
"What a loser"

I was hearing some small talk about me, but I simply ignored it. I didn't want to start something big. I walked out of the room everyone was in. Walking down the hall with the phone Pakunoda gave me. As I was about to turn it on when someone slammed me against the wall.

"Hey, sweet stuff," I looked up seeing Phinks smirking down at me. I simply just ignored what he said and managed to crawl out of his pin, "the hell??"

'What was he trying to pull on me? Smirking down on me like that.. does he like me?' thoughts were running through my mind. 'No, that can't be right..'

I walked back to the main room that everyone was in. Someone walked up to me.

'Shalnark'

"Hey, y/n!" he waved with a smile.

"Hey, Shalnark," I said.

"For my job coming up, I need to become a hunter. Would you like to take the hunters exam with me?"

"Hunters exam? I know what a hunter is.. but I don't know bout the exam."

"The hunters exam is a test you have to take to become a hunter to begin with. Trust me, you and I can pass it and become licensed hunters!"

"Oh.. alright," I said.

"ALRIGHT, BOSS. SHE SAID SHE'D GO WITH ME!" Shalnark yelled to Chrollo.

"Okay. Come back once you're done."

"Okay, go get ready! It should take at least 2-3 weeks at the exam cite."

'2-3 weeks?? Does he think I have no life? At the same time, I don't really, so why not..'

I grabbed a small bag and stuffed some clothes that Machi and Pakunoda bought for me.

-- 3 days later --

"Okay, according to this website.. the Hunters exam should be taken somewhere around here.." Shalnark was looking at his phone he brought with him.

We entered a building and inside were 3 other doors in the back. One door said "Bathroom" the other said, "Meeting room" and the third room said "Hunter exam".

"I guess we go here..?" I asked while pointing at the door that said 'Hunter exam'.

We entered the room. It was a tight closet space. The door shut by itself behind us. My eyes opened widely.

"Are you afraid?" Shalnark asked.

"No, of course not. Are YOU scared?" I countered.

"Nope."

A trap door below us opened up. We fell down a tunnel that turned into a short slide. At the end of the slide was an outside area. Bushes and trees were surrounding the area.

"There's a lot of people," I said looking around.

"Uhm, y/n.." Shalnark said. I looked at him, his face turned red.

"What is it?" I asked him. He pointed down. I looked down to see our hands interlocked together, "WAIT. WHY ARE YOU H-"

He put his hands over my mouth and dragged me further away from everyone.

"Don't be loud!"

"R-right.."

"Were you scared?" he asked, smirking at me.

"You have the same smirk as Phinks.. it's disgusting" I said, rolling my eyes and folding my arms. I found a small boulder and sat on it.

"Oh, feels like home." I said, relaxing on the rock.

"A rock is your home?" Shalnark asked with one eyebrow up.

"Well, yeah! In Meteor city, a rock was all I had to sleep on. I never really left it. I felt safer there."

"It doesn't defeat living under a rock.." Shalnark said. He was going to continue when we were interrupted.

"Good evening everyone! My name is Emi, and I'll be your examiner for the first phase!"
