Y/n, Leorio, Kurapika, And Gon made their way to the town bordering the harbor. Gon explained how the captain had tipped him off, making his destination the cedar tree at the top of the hill.
"But I just got a text saying the exam's in Zaban."
"But Leorio, the captain himself told him this," Y/n said.
Kurapika turned to Gon.
"Are you sure you didn't mishear him?" he asked gently.
"I didn't," Gon replied.
"Hm. Well, I say we visit the cedar tree. What's the worse that could happen?" Y/n said, walking away with Gon.
"Argh! You could miss the exam!" Leorio protested.
Kurapika began to walk backward behind Gon and Y/n, shrugging.
"I'm curious to see what Gon's plan has in store for us," he said. "Besides, Y/n's behavior sort of... interests me."
"Simp," Leorio muttered under his breath.
"What was that?"
Leorio waved him away.
"I said it was nice knowing the three of you!"
"How long do you think before he decides to rejoin us?" Y/n asked.
"I'd give him a couple of seconds," Kurapika replied, and they laughed together.
He really is kind of ... attractive, he thought as Y/n giggled.
"Three..." said Y/n.
"Two," replied Kurapika.
"One," they said together.
"Hey! Wait up you guys!" A voice called from behind.
"That was quick," Gon said.
"Eh- well, I didn't want to leave you guys alone. Besides, traveling alone gets lonely."
The group followed Gon and made their way through a ghost town.
"God, it's like no one's here," Leorio said, shivering.
"No, there's plenty of people here," Gon replied.
"Yes, if you listen closely... you will hear the tiny movements of people."
Leorio cupped his ears and Y/n copied him, out of playfulness, though he also couldn't hear anything than absolute silence.
"I can't hear anything. Can you?"
Y/n shook his head.
"Sh!" Kurapika said quickly.
"Well sue me for having normal hearing, freaks."
Suddenly, a group of masked strangers appeared before them on a makeshift stage.
"It's time for the exciting multiple choice quiz!" a woman cried, her old voice cracking.
Y/n, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio only stared blank-faced.
"I assume you're wanting to reach the cedar on the hill. Well, first you must pass this quiz. You get five seconds to answer one question. If you get it right, you move on."
"I see, it's another trial before we make it to the exam," Kurapika said, placing a hand to his chin.
"Oh brother," Y/n pouted, "I hate quizzes." He wasn't particularly good at them.
"Don't worry y/n, I happen to be great at quizzes- wait, one question?!" Leorio said.
"You may answer with one or two."
