Gon and Killua have vowed to save Kite. But before they can return to NGL, they must pass the condition set by Chairman Netero, leader of the punitive force.

Killua and Gon were walking outside and Gon noticed Killua was tossing two pieces of wood in the air.

"What are those?" The raven haired male asked curiously.

"Tokens. You take a piece of marked wood and split it, giving each half to a different person. They work as proof that you're an ally or to authenticate a document. In this case, each of the assassins holds one matching token. We defeat them and take the tokens." Killua answered and the two boys walked into the station and looked at the chalk board.

Killua narrowed his eyes, "It's been erased. That means someone checked the board."

"Yeah..." Gon trailed off.

"You must be Killua and Gon. Nice to meet you. My name is Palm. It's a pleasure." A female said. Killua and Gon looked at the female and she had long, scruffy black hair and too much make-up, not to mention a frightening aura which causes the two boys to take a defensive stance.

"Oh, dear... No need to be tense. I imagine the Chairman probably didn't provide many details. Allow me to explain. Why don't we have some tea?" She offered and the two boys looked at each other and then followed Palm inside a small restaurant.

Palm had ordered tea and the two males ordered a glass of orange juice.

"I am a student of Knov-sensei. He said I would only get in his way... But I insisted on accompanying him." Palm started.

"Who's that?" Gon asked Killua.

"She probably means one of the guys with Chairman Netero."

Palm nodded and started adding sugar in her tea. "Yes, the one wearing a black suit... My teacher is an incredible person. Cool, intelligent, composed... Ah, composed and cool mean the same thing!"

By now, Killua and Gon shivered at the amount of sugar Palm had put in her tea.

"Oh, but I only respect him, that's all. There's nothing romantic about my feelings... At least, I may wish that were the case. After all, when it comes to falling in love, respect is a major factor. Ah, my teacher knows nothing about this, of course. I haven't said a word to him, and I don't intend to." Palm stopped and lifted her cup and drank her tea... Which disgusted Gon and Killua, "No one can say what will happen... After all, love is a spontaneous thing, don't you agree?"

"Uh, can I interrupt you? Aren't we supposed to fight you?" Killua asked Palm.

"Huh? Oh, dear... Yes, I apologize. The Chairman and my teacher said I couldn't accompany them any further. But I insisted on going with them. It feels like I spent a lifetime just trying to convince them of my determination. And finally, they relented, with one condition."

"Uh, I'm asking about..." Killua spoke up but only got interrupted by Palm.

"My teacher may appear a cold person, but he's actually quite gentle. But you have to spend a lot of time with him to realize that. Ah, by 'spending time with him,' I don't mean-"

Killua stood up from his seat, annoyed and yelled at Palm, "Okay! What's the condition?!"

"Knuckle and Shoot's defeat. To think those vulgar, barbaric unmannered brats will be allowed inside NGL before me... I cannot allow that." Palm said, tightening her grip on her tea cup and releasing a small amount of Hatsu, causing the tea to overflow.

"Palm-san, turn off your Hatsu!" Gon said panicking.

'She's an Enhancer like me. I'm not too happy about that.' Gon thought as he was cleaning up the mess.
