Chapter 4 - ハンター 試験 | パート1

I, Nori Emiko Niu, was watching. Carefully watching every move the young blonde did.

The girl seemed to be around twelve and had long, golden hair reaching her knees. They were braided and decorated with pink flowers. She was wearing a cute pink and white dress, matching her eyes.

She looked innocent, young and cute.

But watch out, the wolf was out. A dark brown-haired girl, around 16, had her piercing lime eyes watching carefully the people scattered around the room. She wore a black cap along with a grey hoodie overlapped with a blue jacket. Her black pants reached mid-tight and her brown shoes were pretty stylish.

She looked overprotective and cold.

Needless to say, I was proud of my new puppets, respectively Hiroe and Kotono. I would use them to pass through the Hunter Exam, as I was too lazy, bored and young to do it myself. After all, I was only eleven and we must be at least twelve to try the exam out.

I left my two creations alone for a few minutes, going ahead and looking at potential dangers in the applicants. There was 44, a joker it appeared. A powerful nen evaded from him, and a bloodlust even I can't beat filled the air surrounding him.

There was also a needle-man, number 301.

I'd make sure Kotono and Hiroe stay away from theses freaks. Or maybe not, the confrontation could be interesting.

There were 384 Hunter wannabes in the room and it appeared to be pretty tense. For example, each time Hiroe innocently asked people their names and tried to make friends (To Kotono's disapproval), she was completely denied.

Except maybe for that bald ninja, he seemed pretty innocent too, regardless of his advanced age. They were now friends or something. Hopefully, he won't die during the exam.

My instinct suddenly kicked in, making me fly back to my puppets. A fat, brown-haired man was approaching.

Kotono was already squinting her eyes, judging the male as a threat.

"What do you want?" She coldly asked

The man rubbed his neck already uncomfortable with theses newbies.

"Aww, come on, Kotono! Don't be so rude! You're making him feel uneasy! Maybe he wants to be friend!" Hiroe smiled sweetly at her older sister.

"Y-yeah, I just want to be friend with you guys! Here! Have a drink to celebrate our friendship!" He offered my girls a can of juice containing laxatives.

'Hmm, that's bothersome, I didn't make theses ones immune to poisons,' I thought, pouting and crossing my arms

Without hesitation, Hiroe took the can from the bad man an opened it. Though, before it could get to her lips, a larger hand reached for it and took it from the top.

Kotono now held the can way over Hiroe's head, making her unable to take it back even if she jumped.

"Hiroe, this man is shady," She sighed, "Plus, you don't like oranges, remember?" She smiled at her little sister as she pointed the announced flavour indicated on the can of juice.

"Oh, right!" Hiroe smiled at herself for being so foolish, "Sorry, sir, I really, really, really dislike orange juice!"

Kotono gave back the open can to the brown-haired man, which haven't even told his name yet.

"Bye bye, good sir!" Hiroe waved goodbye, quickly following the trail of her sibling, starting to bicker on Kotono's temper. "Why were you so rude! ..."
