The Hunter Exam was unlike anything you’d ever experienced. The final stage, in particular, was a test of survival, wit, and perseverance. You were meant to face a series of challenges, each more difficult than the last, and in the end, only the strongest would stand victorious.

At the start, you were introduced to the other participants—Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio. You were among the last to join their group, but they took you in, because you were kind, calm, and always willing to help. You’d never been the one to cause trouble or seek attention, but when Gon and the others saw you, they saw something different. Your calm demeanor caught their attention, and without much thought, they decided to include you in their group.

You weren’t sure why they decided to take you in. Maybe it was your calmness, or maybe it was just the way you fit in with the group. Either way, you were part of it now.

Your role wasn’t to fight or argue but to provide support, whether it was offering advice, helping with small tasks, or just being a steady presence when the others grew anxious.

Among the group, Killua was the most intriguing to you. He was fast, smart, and always seemed to be one step ahead.

As the days wore on, you and Killua would find yourselves alone in the quiet moments. He never fully opened up, but he’d sometimes share small bits about his past, or about his family. You’d listen, offering a soft word of reassurance, never pushing him to say more than he was ready to.

He started to open up more after he realized you were someone he could trust. You were just there, a calm presence who listened when he needed to speak.

"How do you stay so calm?" he asked one night as you sat together by the campfire, the group asleep in the distance.

You looked over at him, your gaze steady. "I’ve always been like this. It’s just how I deal with things."

He didn’t say much after that, but you could see his gaze linger on you longer than before. There was a quiet understanding between you two, one that didn't need words.
