Time skip cause nothing happened before.

"And here we are! Welcome to the third phase, The goal is to get to the very bottom within the time limit! The limit is 72 hours. You may begin!"

With that, the Chairman opened the bottom of the airship, letting the contestants drop down.

The exam site was a humongous and tall tower made out of stone, the sides smooth and made difficult for people to climb.

As Allia landed along with Killua and his friends at the top of the tower, she looked around, observing the actions of the other contestants.

Her eyes landed on the cheerful group of friends that her little brother was interacting with, and she listened to their conversation discreetly. They were also stumped, noting that no one could possibly climb down...until a stranger walked up to them, saying that yes, it was impossible for anyone to climb down from the side.... except for him.

"I'm a master climber, and can climb down anything!" The man claimed, jumping off the side, then skillfully using his hands and feet to scale the walls down.

"Amazing!" Gon praised him, but suddenly gaped in shock, as a disgusting mutated bird looking creature gobbled said man in one bite, and flew off with him still in its beak, screaming for help.

Everyone except for Hisoka, Giltaruttaker, and Allia gasped in terror.

She only snickered, thinking about what a stupid man he was.

"Sis!" Killua suddenly ran up to her, dragging Gon with him.

"Gon said he smelled trapdoors in random places in the ground!" Grinning, he looked at Gon, gesturing for him to continue.

"Yeah! Um...I smelled the musty air wafting up from entrances along the floor! If you'd like, I can show on to you!" He cutely tilted his head, linking his fingers behind his back.

Raising an eyebrow, Allia admitted to herself that his skill was useful. Smelling out trap doors would be extremely helpful in assasination jobs. She ignored the offer, and instead said something else.

"Hey kid." Gon looked at her in question, Killua immediately narrowing his eyes at the familiar tone. She was scheming something.

"How do you feel about killing people for money?" Allia asked pleasantly, her hands in her pockets, a habit Gon silently noted Killua also had.

From a few feet away, Giltaruttaker's head snapped in her direction, his expression unchanging. Next to him, Hisoka grinned eerily.

"Neechan!" Killua exclaimed, appalled at the question.

"Oh! Uh-uh-um...i don't really think killing is good..." Sighing in relief, Killua internally cried in relief, grateful that Gon was an innocent boy.

"Ah. Unfortunate." Allia only nodded, having expected the answer. "Thank you for the offer, but I can find one on my own. Have fun, Kil."

She waved her hand bye, turning on her heel and walking away.

"Sorry, Gon." Killua said, after his sister was out of earshot. "I didn't think she'd ask you that-"

He cut himself off when he turned to look at Gon. Instead of disgust or fear, he saw that Gon's eyes were lit up with excitement, respect, and adoration.

"Your sister..is So COOL!"

"Oh-oh yeah?"

"Yeah! I bet she's really strong, huh?"

"Y-yeah.." You have no idea. Killua thought internally, grimacing. She could probably kill everyone in our family if she tried, no problem.

"What are you planning, Allia-chan~?" Hisoka asks as she walks over to the two men.

"None of your business. Anyway, we should get going." Her silvery white hair flying behind her, she led them toward one of the trapdoors.

"Ok, Illumi goes first." she smirked, making the two men on guard.

"bye bye." Allia swiftly kicked her brother's back, making him fall through one of the trapdoors. She could hear him clacking in his disguise all the way down.

"I think you'll want to go alone, hm?" Allia asks Hisoka. He seemed like the type to prefer clearing challenges alone.

"you know me so well~" the clown chose his own trapdoor and gracefully leapt in, the tile flipping closed quietly.

Finally, the assassin went through the trapdoor closest to Illumi's wanting to go with him. lucky for her, she landed right on top of him.

"Hello brother. Nice to see you again." Allia smiled innocently from atop the others head, dodging the needles flying up from below her.

-
"Number 45 is the second to finish, with a grand total of- " The voice sighed."Grand total of 30 minutes." The nasally voice of the examiner said through the speaker, annoyed at the ease of which Allia passed, along with Hisoka being the first with 25 min, and Illumi at the same time as Allia.

"So nice to see you again~"

"Likewise. I'm impressed at your speed."

"Why thank you, although I had a little run in with an examiner from last year."

"Ah. Him. I presume you killed him?"

"Of course."

And that was the end of the conversation between the three, with input from Illumi only being annoying sounds and an amusing display of eating crackers.

It was pleasant. Surprisingly.
