CHAPTER 16 -Hunter Exam-

Rin POV

After panting really hard, we discovered ourselves in the same room which we had to battle in the first round.

"Thirty minutes of running, just to end up where we started," Leorio grunted.

"We should've taken those stairs down," Killua said bluntly.

"Shut up! We all agreed on this route!"

The five of us continued to face the challenges which consisted of dangerous routes. I had to admit it was pretty tough but not to the extent for me to be crying out for mommy. Although, there was this particular person who did that.

Well, that someone would be, the one and only Leorio. He's been screaming his heart out from the very start. Like, right now, we're running away from a huge boulder chasing us down the path.

Killua had his relaxed face on as if the boulder didn't even exist while Gon was running with an excited smile on. Kurapika had also been running at a steady pace like there's nothing chasing him from behind. I, on the other hand, was irritated by Leorio constant screaming.

He's making my eardrums bleed, literally!

When it was finally over, the five of us kneeled on the ground panting.

"Man, I'm covered in dust," Killua complained.

"What do you expect after running away from a huge boulder," I said in between my breath.

"H-hurry up. We only have an hour left." Leorio panted hard.

That's when we came upon a door which had a sign on it.

"We're supposed to vote on whether to open the door? We need to move on. So obviously, we want to open the door." Leorio said and the five of us pressed the 'O' button.

"Let's get this over with." Killua opened the unlocked door and entered it.

"Hey, guys... We're getting close to the goal," Killua smiled.

"What? Really?" Gon cheered and the rest of us entered the small room.

In that room, there were two black doors which had an 'O' and an 'X' painted red. There's also a variety of weapons displayed on the walls.

What does this have to do with those? Not to mention the scary looking sculpture of a maiden with long hair hanging above the door.

"Man, that's one scary looking door..." I commented.

"What's the matter, you've gone scared all of the sudden?" Leorio taunted and my vein popped.

"You're one to talk, you're the one who's been screaming like a girl all the way here," I smirked.

"What's that?!"

"Oh come on both of you, now is not the time," Kurapika said.

"Let's see, this will be the last decision made by majority rule. Are you ready? Choose 'O' or 'X'. That's it." Killua read the text aloud.

The five of us pressed the 'O' button and an announcement was made.

"Please select a path. There are two choices. One path allows five to pass but is long and difficult. The other path allows only three but is short and easy."

"Incidentally, the long and difficult path requires a minimum of forty-five hours. The short and easy path leads to the goal in approximately three minutes."

"Press 'O' for the long and difficult path, and 'X' for the short and easy path. If 'X' is selected, two people must be secured to the wall with handcuffs, before the door will open. The two chained members will be unable to move until the time limit expires." The announcement explained.
