The yellow and black ball was engulfed in a fiery purple nen. Razor stood back and I tried to hide a smirk as I took two calm steps to distance myself from Goreino, the man who thought this was going to be easy and handed out a free ball. Soon enough the game master threw the ball and Goreino's face contorted, face wide open, eyebrows scrunched together as he whispered some random words and changed places with his nen monkey, whose head exploded at the hit of the ball, disappearing right after and rebounding the ball back to the muscled man.

"Nice rebound." Razor turned around to see Goreino outside the court. Gon and Killua were surprised at the quick decision, but anyone could see that the man wouldn't be of any help from there on. He was trembling in fear after experiencing the difference of power between himself and the large, muscled man.

Restarting the game, the tall man passed his ball with an incredible amount of strength to his nen teammates, that passed the ball to the next and so on, locking us in a square. Suddenly one of them aimed for Tsezgerra the leader of the men with the matching outfits, Gon and Killua yelled his name, but he wasn't fast enough to dodge or try to catch it. The ball hit his ribs and rebounded on the flood before Killua caught it, his blue eyes widened as his two hands held it tightly.

"He focused his aura on his back and avoided a lethal blow. Hey, patch him up." That was certainly true, at least this one did a sufficiently good job and the ball is now in our possession. Tsezgerra stood up trembling and left the court as the referee announced that if a player is unable to play, they'd be disqualified.

Killua was dribbling in deep thought, Gon called out for Hisoka, his voice low.

"Okay~, ball?" The clown used his power, Bungee Gum, to hit the players and retrieve the ball. "Now, try to entertain me." As cocky as ever he eyed Razor, I could almost roll my eyes. For now, it was a good strategy but would it last? "Surely this isn't everything you have."

Why was the damn clown spicing the mood? Well... the sooner we finished the sooner we'd meet the troupe so maybe I should be helping out. Using nen wasn't forbidden but what could I, a conjurer, do to play dodgeball?

Killua asked if the last player to be hit could use back to keep playing, and the referee clarified that such was against the rules.

When Hisoka threw the ball once more, number 6 and 7 merged and caught it, trying to pull the ball back his bungee gum turned out to be ineffective as the strand stretched thinner. Number 13, the two enemy team players merged was stronger, huh?

I was still wrecking my brain trying to think of a useful character to use.

"Now it's my turn to attack again." That was a dangerous statement by Razor. Everyone took a step back and the kids yelled "Ken" making their auras larger. "So, you know how to use Ken, that means you won't die... assuming you won't get hit on the wrong spot."

It was getting dangerous alright~. "Here I come, Gon!"

Well, shit, going for a child, that was low. Gon gasped before answering with confidence, "Bring it on!" What a brave little boy. Gaining balance, the large man threw the ball at an unbelievable speed, I wouldn't want to catch that. Yikes.

Laying both hands on his head, he yelled "Ko!" and did his best to receive the ball. Really brave, just like Killua described. His feet flew out his shoes and the ball spiked up, hitting the ceiling. Gon's body was pulled away from the court, rolling and crashing against the wall. Killua and Biscuit ran to help Gon and I could see that with a bit of training both the kids would be on my level, I was glad for them but decided I had to keep pushing the boundaries and continue up on the ladder of strength. "I'm just fine! Next time, I'll catch it!" His fearless voice filled the gymnasium. Well, it was time I did something for them.

"Estimated the ball's likely drop point...Team Gon gets the ball, but the ceiling is considered an extension of the floor, Gon is out." Gon and Biscuit were arguing on when to use the 'Back' to get Gon back into the game. The game started, Goreino and Killua were switching the ball between themselves when Goreino grabbed it and walked further away attempting an attack on Razor that didn't go well because of the speed of the nen puppets. Monkey man ended up with a ball slammed on his face, and knocked out fast, the ball back to Razor's team.

Four vs three, yet Razor was a major strength on the smaller team. A bit of a disadvantage, but maybe we could work with this.

"Well then, who's up next?" Razor says as he throws the ball with immense strength, I was in front of Killua but dodged it easily landing a gracious arm away from the trajectory of the ball. Maybe I should've caught it since Killua had a lucky decision there. Had he turned left he'd be dead.

The vicious ball passed by Biscuit and Hisoka, landing on the enemy's hands that threw it back to Hisoka. He caught the ball well considering the surprise attack and he looked so hot when he stood up blood running from his nose and forehead, and a fun smile on his face.

"Heeeh, isn't the masochistic clown having a good time?" I cheered; his golden eyes fell on me as he licked his lips seductively.

"Biscuit is out." Oh? I peeked at the small figure, her dress was a bit ripped, clothes counted as part of ourselves? That was a problem. She walked out slightly defeated.

"Well pass me the ball, my turn to have fun~!" Skipping next to Hisoka, one of his fuchsia eyebrows arched, his lip twitched up, an interested bloody smirk, as I grabbed the ball. "Mhm... it is time... what should I do... what should I do..." Mumbling to myself I wondered as I spun the ball on my S/C hands.

"Oh, I know!" I took a deep breath, letting the ball between my left arm and my hips not to let it fall. My F/C aura ran loose like a good dog excited for a walk, slowly a pinwheel appeared on my right hand.
