Adult Trio Wrong Number (HxH)

25: I'm back in the fucking building again

Idek what to put here anymore

"How have you hid your Nen so well? From everything I sense, it seems you're a non-user."

Nen? Non user? Shit these have to be Hunter terms. Something you wouldn't know shit about, not being a hunter.

The examiner looked at you expectantly. Waiting patiently for an answer that you've already taken far too long to give.

"Ah, secret." You laughed weakly, knowing that answer alone wouldn't be strong enough to stay inconspicuous.

"Secret?" The examiner parroted questioningly.

Fuck.

Plan B—not that there ever was a Plan A—we're screwing Hisoka over.

"It's.. a work thing. Since there's a Phantom Troupe member lurking around, I'm not quite keen on sharing."

There's no way that works. There's no way th-

"There's a Spider here? Taking the exam?"

It's working?

You nodded, folding your hands together. A habit you need to stop before they catch on to your nervousness, "Hisoka Morow. Clown? 2 foot long bubble gum pink hair? He's a troupe member."

Hisoka's so gonna kill you after this.

Not that you really knew how secret the Troupe's identities were. I mean, they don't care if their killings are live broadcasted, so definitely not as secret as the Zoldycks.

All you knew was that the Troupe had a big reputation amongst Hunters. And any word of them would draw attention.

Which means less attention on you and your cover.

Hopefully.

"Meow?"

"Meow meow meow?"

"Meow?"

"Should've known it, that clown gives me the chills."

You'd have to say the examiner was either brave or stupid, for calling a Troupe member a clown when they could overhear.

Your guess is stupid. Seeing how he fell for your 'I work here' trick.

Also it's Hisoka. He never cares about being insulted or if someone's not polite.

It's not like he's going to cut off someone's arms for bumping into him.

Feitan might, though.

Attempting to get out of the conversation before they asked more questions, you quickly excused yourself.

"However, there are people I need to contact. If you'd pardon me."

"Oh!" The Hunter blinked. This was not a sarcastic 'Oh!', but I can no longer say 'Oh!' without it seeming sarcastic due to TikTok, "My apologies for bothering you, please go ahead."

"In the run from the Phantom Troupe?" A Hunter scoffed, leaning back in their seat. Multiple others crowding around them to watch the monitor, "They're starting to get power hungry with their lying."
