CHAPTER 12 -Hunter Exam-

Third person POV

THIRD PHASE OF THE HUNTER EXAM

Dawn breaks, the airship carrying Rin and her friends finally approached its destination. The Third Phase of the Hunter Exam was about to begin.

"I apologize for the long wait. The airship will soon arrive at its destination." As soon as Gon heard the announcement, he quickly jolted up from the floor to look at the window.

"Wow!" Gon stared in awe.

"Rin! Wake up we're here!" Gon called out to Rin with excitement.

Rin shifted in her sleep while trying hard to open her drowsy eyes. Fluttering her eyes opened, she yawned.

"What is it Gon?" She asked sleepily.

"Come on, you gotta watch this!" Gon said.

"What is?" Rin walked towards Gon and stared out the window. The sunlight must've been bright because she had a hard time adjusting her eyes to the light, but the moment she opened them, she could see there's a tall tower perched on top of a cylinder-shaped mountain.

"Is that where the next test will be?" She asked and Gon nodded furiously. The excitement was still visible in his bright brown eyes.

'This is it, the next step.' Rin thought, preparing herself for the upcoming exam.

********************

The airship landed on top of the cylinder tower and the applicants abroad were asked to step out. Most of them were clueless about the site because they couldn't see anything apart from the tower.

"What is this place?"

"There's nothing here."

"Ahem." As everyone was curious about the Third Phase exam, someone called out for their attention. It was a small green man called Bean.

"Everyone, the exam's Third Phase will begin here, at the top of Trick Tower. To pass this phase, you must reach the tower's base alive. The time limit is seventy-two hours. With that, we will now begin the Third Phase. I will pray for your success." The small green man said leaving everyone to wonder in curiosity.

Finally, the airship left the applicants to figure out how to reach the base within seventy-two hours.

Gon stared at the bottom of the tower with astonishment.

"Are we supposed to climb down?" Leorio asked clutching his case tight.

"That would be suicide," Kurapika said and the rest of them nodded.

"Maybe for a normal person." That's when applicant number #86 said with a smug look on his face. "But a top-class rock climber can handle this, no problem."

With that, he climbed down the tower with a triumph look plastered on his face.

"Wow," Killua said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he watched the man climbed down.

"He's going down pretty fast." Gon said.

"He's gonna die," Rin looked at the unfortunate man down below.

"Why would you say that?" Gon asked curiously.

After Gon had said that, a couple of monstrous looking bird flew over. One of them succeeded in catching the guy using their sharp claws and continued to soar off into the sky leaving the man screaming in agony for help.

"Told ya," Rin exhaled her breath.

"G-guess we can't climb down the side..." Leorio stuttered.

"Yeah," Killua replied.
