Chapter 30: Chapter 30: KilluaxLeft?
As Killua and 'Gittarackur' walk up to the arena the air gets tense. The silence dissipates once the announcer says "Begin!"
'Gittarackur' says "It's been a while Kil." in a weird voice before starting to take the needles out of his head and neck. The more needles he pulls the more his face changes and contorts until finally his hair flails around getting longer and turning black while his skin fades from purple to pale white.
As his face changes Killua gets a look of shock on his face before quietly saying "Big brother?" even though Killua said it quietly it might as well have been an explosion with how quiet the room is. Everybody hears it and those of us close to Killua like Leorio and Kurapika start murmuring about it.
The silence lasts a little bit longer before Illumi breaks it in a cold voice saying "I heard you stabbed Mom and Miluki."
Killua replies with a quiet "I guess." and Illumi states "Mom was crying..."
Leorio interjects announcing that "Anyone would cry if their son did that to them." in a matter-of-fact tone before exaggeratedly falling down when Illumi finishes his sentence with "Tears of joy. She was so happy to see that You'd grown up. But she was so worried about you leaving home, so she asked me to come check up on you."
Illumi continues saying "What a coincidence huh? I didn't know you wanted to be a hunter. I'm just trying to get a license for my next job."
At this statement, Killua looks down with a dejected look saying "I don't really want to be a hunter, I just felt like taking the exams."
To this, Illumi just says that it is a relief and that he has some advice for Killua. "You are not cut out to be a hunter... You were born to be a kille..."
Before Illumi can finish Gon interrupts his brainwashing of killua yelling "No he isn't! Killua you said yourself you don't want to go back to your family and you don't want to be an assassin anymore!"
If what Illumi was saying were like gunshots in the insanely quiet room Gon's voice was a canon breaking through the silence and forcing Illumi to look at him. As soon as Illumi looks at Gon all of us around him can feel Illumi's Ren in its overflowing coldness feeling devoid of life. Illumi is using enough Ren that nobody but myself and possibly Hanzo can move. I haven't even used Ren on Hanzo before so I don't know if he can counteract it himself. Nevertheless, I cover all of us in my own Ren overpowering illumi's on everybody but Gon.
This is going to be a life lesson that Gon remembers forever. The feeling of Illumi's Ren will scare him beyond belief and because it's his fault the aura is on him I will not help unless Illumi makes a move toward him or if the Ren exceeds the amount that would kill a regular human.
Illumi's Ren keeps Gon silent in fear while he talks with Killua. He says, "You're a puppet of darkness, without any passion. You don't want anything nor do you wish for anything. As one who lives in the shadows, you can only feel pleasure when people die. That's how Dad and I raised you. What would you accomplish by becoming a Hunter?"
Killua debunks what Illumi said by saying "Indeed I don't want to become a hunter. But even I have something I want..."
"Well, what is it that you want Kil?" Illumi asks in a smooth soft voice.
"I... I... I want to become friends with Gon! I'm sick of killing people I want to become friends with Gon and just play normally."
After Killua yells that he wants to be friends with Gon, Illumi walks up to him and whispers something in his ear. Nobody but me, possibly the examiners, the old man, and Hisoka can hear it as Illumi said it so quietly even in the completely silent room no sound made it out. To hear it you would have to use Nen to boost your hearing. What illumi said was "Give up Kil you can't beat me. If you don't give up and return home I will kill Gon. He has already passed so it wouldn't be against the rules Kil. If you don't want that to happen go home right now."
Right after Illumi whispered in Killua's ear the malicious Ren completely dissipated and Killua said "I give up!" before walking toward the door.
"The sixth match is over 'Gitterackur' or whatever your name is wins! Can Lucas and Nicholas come to the Arena!"
As the malicious Ren completely dissipates Gon runs to Killua and starts asking a ton of questions about where he's going and his brother.
Killua just tells Gon that he needs some air before going out the door and slamming it in Gon's face. Using En I can feel Killua running at his top speed away from here north-east in the direction of the Dentora region of the Republic of Padokea or more specifically he left in the direction of Kukaroo Mountain.
After Killua leaves Illumi walks up to Gramps and says to him "Mr. Chairman the exams should be over since Killua will not be coming back"
Gon speaks up and indignantly says "What do you mean? Of course, Killua is coming ba..!"
Before Gon can finish speaking Gramps announces "Young Killua has left and therefore forfeits from all matches he would have against anybody. Since young Killua forfeited all his matches he will be the only applicant who failed in this phase of the exams. All remaining applicants even if you have not fought yet pass!"
Right after the old man stops talking Gon rushes Illumi yelling "What did you do to Killua?!!"
In the middle of his jump, I run next to him and knock him unconscious with a swift chop to the neck. As he falls I catch his body and quickly go back to our spot.
Mr. Beans comes around and passes a folder out to everybody who passed. After passing out the folders he tells us all to follow him and starts walking following the examiners and the old man. We walk through the door to the courtyard and then back into a narrow hallway. On one side of the narrow hallway is an open door with hospital beds and on the other side is a very tall door that's closed. We follow Mr. Beans and the examiners through the closed door and into the room. Inside the room looks almost like a courtroom or a college lecture room with how the pews are lined up to face a stage.
We all take a seat as the old man walks forward saying "Let's begin the orientation" before nodding to Mr. Beans to start the orientation.
After the nodd, Mr. Beans walks forward and begins with "All right then, I shall start the orientation. The folders I've passed out have cards in them. Those cards are called Hunters Licenses."
"This card allows you to enter 90% of the countries that limit immigration as well as 75% of the restricted areas across the world. You may use 90% of the public facilities across the world at no cost and banks will treat you as if you're a top-rated company. If you sell the card you'll have enough money to last 7 lifetimes. And if you keep it you will be guaranteed material comfort for the rest of your lives. So take extra care that your license isn't lost or stolen because you won't receive a replacement."
"According to our estimates, 1 in 5 hunters lose their card within a year of receiving it. As a hunter, your first challenge is to protect your card. The rest is up to you. Rise above challenges, believe in your own strength, and keep working toward your dreams."
After Mr. Beans finishes his motivational and informative speech the old man steps forward and says "Well then, we now declare the eleven members present new Licensed Hunters."
