"what do you mean?" leorio mumbled with a surprised face.

"You still haven't figured it out?" I said with a straight face as I looked at the two boys.

' I stole your line, Captain. I'm sorry- not really hehe'

The red-nose cleared his throat and begun speaking, "At least one of you has brains. That's right, the hunter qualification exam has started a while ago."

"WHAT?!" eorio-man and pika yelled out.

'My ears!'

"As many people want a Hunter licence as there are stars in the sky, the examiners don't have enough time or resources to review them all. So they hire people like us to screen the applicants. I've already notified them that everyone else on this had to withdraw. "

' I just noticed.. One of his teeth is missing teehee'

Pika gasped slightly as he heard that information as well as eorio-man.

Only I and Gon stayed still while listening.

Or was I actually listening or pretending to do so?

"if they couldn't withstand a small storm, they'd stand no chance later on in the actual Hunter Exam. " The captain continued talking.

' that's true.'

"so in other words, you will only proceed if I let you so. " he added.

My Brother Gon, looked up at eorio-man and started talking, "so he says.. "

"You need to give him an answer if you want to proceed to the main exam. " I completed Gon's statement as I took a few steps back enough to allow me to rest my back on the door.

' now. Let me hear your story personally, kurta boy.'

I stared at him.

He had his eyes closed for a short period of time, ' looks like he's thinking about whether to tell him or not.'

He opened his eyes again and decided to speak. "I am the last survivor of the Kurta clan. Four years ago, my clan was massacred by a band of criminals. I want to become a hunter and capture the phantom troupe. " he finished.

The captain stared at him and said "so you want to become a black list Hunter huh? The phantom troupe is a class-A bounty. Not even the most powerful hunters can touch them. You'd be throwing away your life. "

"I do not fear death. I fear only that my rage will fade over time."

Pika's eyes shone with a red color then went back to normal.

' THIS SCENE WAS COOL ON TV BUT NOW IT'S COOLER WAAAAH! I-i THINK I'M DYING!'

"In other words, you want revenge. You don't have to be a hunter to do that" idio- I mean leorio said.

"that might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard, Leorio." pika said.

' I agree with you, yellow-kun.'

"That's Mr.Leorio for you!" he shout as he waved his fist against pika, who just ignored him and kept talking.

"places that are only accessible to hunters, information, there are more reasons than your brain can handle."

Eorio-man started fuming in anger but Gon cut their conversation and raised his hand towards eorio to get his attention which succeeded.

"Mr.Leorio, why do you want to become a Hunter?"

"me? I want money!"

' that's a lie. Idiot.. '

I clenched my teeth.

"money can get you everything!a big house!a nice car!"

"money can't buy you a class, Leorio." Pika cut his speech about money.

"that's three times now, " he glared at pika. "step outside. I'll end the filthy Kurta bloodline, here and now. "

"if I were you... I wouldn't say such things." I whispered but he must have heard me given that he glanced at me and made his way closer to me, well more precisely, the door I was leaning on.

"Take that back, Leorio!"

Our Kurta boy said his famous line.

They glared at each other.

"Take that back."

"it's Mr.Leorio for you."

Leorio stood in front of me, "move." he said.

I didn't move an inch, I looked over at Gon and he nodded at me signaling that it was okay to do as he said.

I sighed knowing the reason then I moved away from the door, allowing Eorio-man to open it and walk through it.

Pika clicked his tongue and ran after him.

The captain yelled after them but Gon stopped him. "just let them go. Aunt Mito once told us, It's important for them to understand why they're mad, "

"so we should let them settle it themselves. " I continued in his stead.

Gon smiled and nodded.

"That's right! Friends get closer by fighting!" he added.

The captain looked at us then one of the staff interrupted us.

"c-captain.. "

"huh?"

"l-look there... " he mumbled as he pointed to the front.

The captain looked over then his expression changed to a terrified one.

I got closer and looked at well

Only to see a huge storm and water tornado coming closer to our ship.

' it looks.. Really scary now that I'm seeing it in person.. '
