3rd POV:
The exam's third phase required applicants to reach Trick Tower's base within 72 hours. But Y/n and her friends incurred a penalty were forced to wait for 50 hours.
All of them were minding their own business, trying to pass time in their own way. Killua is currently teaching Gon how to use his skateboard. Kurapika, Leorio, and Tonpa were all talking about. While Y/n was just watching them while playing with her strings.
Suddenly, a skateboard flew across the room, catching the attention of everyone in the room. Y/n looked at Tonpa and... his expression was priceless. He looked absolutely terrified since it almost hit him on the head. His face made the girl snort and laugh, in which Gon noticed.
Leorio scolded the two boys "Hey! What are you doing!?"
Gon rubbed the back of his head while saying "Oops! Sorry".... Totally not proud of himself for making the adorable (brunette, blonde, etc.) Laugh... Yup... Totally.....
But the future doctor continued "This room isn't big enough for skateboarding, knock it off!" In which Gon replied with a sad groan.
Soon all of them went to bed.
Mini time skip
Everyone was asleep except for a certain white-haired boy. He was just starting at the ceiling before looking at Y/n, who was sleeping between him and Gon. He continued to just space out as he gently played around with her hair, twirling it between his fingers and brushing through it. This action made the girl snuggled closer to him, making the assassin smile slightly before spacing off again.
Kurapika then slowly woke up and looked to see Killua still awake. He then asked, "Can't sleep?"
Even though he considered the white-haired boy to be one of his rivals, he still considered him as a friend.
Killua answered "Not really. Thing is, I can stay awake for two or three days at a time."
The Kurta Clan survivor then looked at the clock "Ten hours down, huh?"
The Zoldyck member commented "With no windows, it's hard to tell, but... It's probably morning." Which Kurapika agreed on.
Killua had an idea, slowly sitting up and gently placing Y/n back to her previous spot. He mischievously chuckles as he threw a pillow at Gon, in which Gon threw it back. Killua got surprised and stared at a smiling Gon. Soon, he realized that he was awake this whole time and threw the ball again.
Now Gon was fully awake and this was the start of a game of throwing pillows at each other for no reason. But also minding not to hit their precious kimono girl that was still sound asleep.
Leorio got annoyed and yelled, "Knock it off, you guys!"
The two just chuckled, by this time, Y/n was awake and slowly sat up. She gently rubbed her eyes while her body still swaying from drowsiness.
Killua asked Y/n, "Oh, did we wake you up?" In which she nodded.
He and Gon then apologized. The (h/c) haired girl just held two thumbs up, indicating that it was fine.
Leorio then turned to his side but only to be encountered with a foul scented foot from none other than...

TONPA!!
Leorio groaned in disgust while all of the others were laughing at his hilarious reaction.
TIMESKIP (cuz I'm lazy..)
It's only a minute left before they finally can get the hell out of that room. They were all waiting, with Gon and Killua holding Y/n's hand. Then there was a buzz from the door and it finally opened. As soon as it was fully opened, they all hurried to get to the next room
After thirty minutes of running, they were right back at the small arena where they fought with the prisoners.
Leorio grumbled "Thirty minutes of running and right back where we started"
Killua boredly commented, "Didn't I and Y/n tell you we should've taken the stairs down?"
The black-haired man was about to scream at the boy but decided not to. Since he remembered that Y/n was right in front of him and he didn't want to hurt her again.
After that, they went through a lot of different types of rooms. There was one with a rail track and a cart, square paths, and a huge boulder! But of course, it all won't be complete without Leorio and Tonpa's screams of panic and stress.
After the boulder part, everyone was covered in dust. The three eldest males we're all exhausted, while the three youngest were all fine.
After the blonde finally caught his breath, he turned to the only girl of the group and helped her by dusting off the dust that was on her. In return, she dusted Kurapika then hugged him closely.
Killua saw and caught Kurapika's eyes. The kurta boy then smirked a bit in a challenging and joking way. The white-haired boy got jealous and complained rather loudly, "Man, I'm all covered in dust." Which caught the attention of the girl. Soon she trotted over to the zoldyck boy and helped him clean himself up.
While Leorio checked the time and said "Damn. Only an hour left."
They all then went to the next room. It was a question whether or not to open the door. They all pressed the "O" button except for one. Leorio got furious and started blaming Tonpa, but Gon admittedly said that it was his fault since he accidentally pressed the wrong button. The two then started to argue and Gon tries to stop them.
Killua then said "This is stupid. Me and Y/n will be going on ahead." The two then stepped inside the room, hand in hand.
Gon shouted, "Killua, Y/n don't go!"
The junior assassin then peeked his head out and said "Hey, Gon! We must be getting real close to the end!"
The others then walked inside the next room. Killua read the sign "This will be the last decision made by majority rule. Are you ready? Choose O or X."
All of them chose O except for one. Leorio was about to argue again but was stopped by Kurapika.
Then the announcer said from the speaker "Please select a path. There are two available options to choose from. The long and difficult path which the entire group can take, or the short and easy path which will be limited to only three of you. Incidentally, if you choose the long and difficult path, it will require a minimum of 48 hours to complete. While the short and easy path will lead you directly to the goal in approximately three minutes.
Press O to select the long and difficult path, or press X to choose the short and easy path. If X is selected, three applicants from your group must be chained to the wall with handcuffs before the door will open. Those applicants will be unable to move until the time limit has expired."
After a while of contemplating and thinking of what to choose, the finally made a conclusion.
Before the time ran out, the three youngest stepped out of the door. The announcer announced their names and numbers.
Kurapika said, "We entered the long and difficult path, and Y/n broke down the wall for us to snuck into the short and easy path."
Leorior commented "It was genius! So that's what you plan all along, huh?" As he looked at the girl, she replied with a happy nod.
Soon, a door opened to the outside, where the next phase will begin.
