     I stepped out of the elevator and took a long look at the floor I am in. As I was observing the structure of this floor, I sensed the presence of a unknown organism. I looked down below me and I saw a green living thing holding a circular object. "Congratulations on being the first applicant in the Hunters' Exam! This will be your tag, please wear it all the time." He, I suppose, said with a wary smile. He is scared of me, I can tell, but he is really proficient in masking it.

     I stared at him hollowly, devoid of any possible emotion, but it's not like he can see my face. I took it from him and wore it. A number one was written on it. Must the other appicants be oh-so-late? Well, me being early is a possibility as well. The green blob walked away, leaving me alone in this...place.

     I walked towards a corner and sat down on the floor beside it. I leaned my head on the corner, allowing me to be at a comfortable position.

     I took out, what you might call, a pair of 'headphones,' and hooked it by my ears. It is really a wonderful invention. One of the things I thank the humans for. It is capable of filtering the outside world, and drowning you into music fantasy. I absolutely love it. Sad thing is, I stole it. Humans should really pay attention to their belongings, shan't they?

     Slowly my eyes glued unto each other, and I experienced peaceful sleep I never did for the past five years of my life.

===

     I was awaked naturally by my body clock. I stood up and stretched my sore muscles and counted the heads present in this huge space of matter. Roughly four hundred humans were here. I slept that long? Oh well, I'd better start finding my next prey. Before I continued, I hooked my headphones around my neck, and stopped the blasting heavy metal music that I am a huge fan of.

     I then walked around the room and bumped into a fat human that reeked the smell of uselessness. He turned around with a scowl, but then he replaced it with a fake smile. I noticed that he had two bottles of sodas on him. Is he really gonna give me that humane junk, a scrap of metal molded unto the use of drinking?

     "Ah, hello! You must be new in the Hunters' Exam! I know because-" Them he continued to blabber on, proving that he IS a waste of my time. My ears are dying, and I hate his voice most especially. I really want to listen to music, but I know too much of it can break your ears. So then, can I kill him? Killing is legal, right? Oh wait, when did I ever care about following the country's law? "-so, how about a drink as a token of our friendship?" He finished his speech with another one of his fake smiles.

     Sure, I'll kill him no problem.

=Killua's P.O.V.=

     I was walking around with my skateboard, when I spotted my dear friend named Tonpa. Heh, that pathetic rookie crusher. It was pretty obvious that the drink he gave to me had laxatives in it. I have been trained to withstand poison, so a petty laxative as such wouldn't even bother me one bit. Although, I am bored...so I guess I'll play with him for a bit~

      I noticed that he was trying to hand out the poisoned drink to another person.
The person wore a mask, and not just any mask, the mask covered one of his eyes. I couldn't even see his 'visible' eye, because it was covered by the hood of his jacket. One word can easily describe the mask, and the word is: macabre. Honestly, that mask had this strange designs around it and it made the person look creepy.

     The person looked about my age, judging his height and body structure. But he could be younger than twelve.

     Suddenly, the person released a frightening aura.
     W-what is this?! It's exactly the same as my brother's!!!
