I walked out the forest carrying several apples.
20 should be enough for a little bit of profit I assume, I'm no expert in business.
I slowly pace my way to the market man.
"Is this enough?" I ask, shifting my feet.
"It'll do for about a day or two. Anyways like I promised, here. 4 silver. You go do what you want now, I'll enjoy the peace while I can."
He hands me 4 silver coins, I walk away and explore the town a bit more.
A bar? It'd be cool to check that out.
I enter the bar through its glass doors and make my way to the counter. Some people glance at me but that's it.
Looking up I see a menu. Beer, whisky, margaritas, and wine. Quite a lot of drinks.. Maybe I could order something myself? A wine couldn't do harm.
No, what am I thinking? I have things to do.
I stumble out the bar dejectedly. Restaurants, markets, and even a pharmacy. There's a lot of things here, I can only imagine what mainland would be like!
I think that's enough looking around and exploring, I should be getting to mainland.
————————————————————
I walk into the dockyard, full of several ships and vassals.
"Come and take a trip to mainland! Only 2 silver!" A bearded man with a very admiral look yelled from a stand.
Walking up to him I ask if I can buy a ticket.
"Yea you can, we still got one spot left. Lucky buyer huh?" He smirked, flipping a sign that read CLOSED.
"Wait when are we departing?" I ask.
"Right now obviously."
Right now? Well I better get on now. Thank god I prepared for actually coming here!
Stepping into the ship and into a crew quarters. 20-50 people, ship was already decently big so I'm sure there'd be no issues with space.
Walking into a room not claimed I layed back and relaxed myself.
"Man it's been quite an adventure." I mumble to myself as I look outside the ship window onto the calming waves, begging for me to get rest.
I slowly put my head down and close my eyes.
————————————————————
"Hey you there?" A black figure called out to me, I was too tired to care.
He walks up and slaps me. Ow. "How- this is my dream?"
"Yea and I'm taking over. Your considered an area I can operate and best times are during sleep. Now let me tell you, when you first get on mainlandyou need for you to do something. The Hunter exam." He says calmly.
"The hell is a Hunter exam? You want me to hunt food?"
"In a way but no, it's basically a group of professionally trained international folks who all have nen and use it to 'Hunt' their dreams or goals Whether it be a gourmet hunter or a bounty hunter."
"And I have to do this exam to get like a card to shows that I am?"
"Yea actually that's right. From there you can start a business with that, now another kick is the nen. See doing the exam they obviously don't directly tell you even after you pass. A secret Hunter exam is where you learn it. Now since I taught you it, congrats on passing the secret Hunter exam! Now your gonna have to find more trainers if your gonna be honing your skills because I have a tight schedule."
Wow he talks a lot.
"Thanks asshole." He scoffs.
"Wait you can read my mind?"
"What do you think? I'm literally inside a dream made by your head. Anyway, as you get to main land I want you to goto Kickin' Bar. Say you want an old fashioned with extra espresso and they'll let you through. Sweet and hyper, try it out sometimes."
"Alright.. where'd you get this?"
"I have connections."
————————————————————
Here it is. The mainland harbor.
As I walk off I can see so much more buildings and people! It's amazing, sadly I only got a couple days to get into this exam however.
Kickin' Bar.. Know what I think I'll get a drink there- God I should stop or I'll get addicted.
Looking down at a map I can see it's just to my right.. Ah there it is.
Walking inside I immediately feel a tense atmosphere as I walk up to the counter.
"What would you like to order.." she looks at my body, blushing a bit. "Sir..?" She finishes off.
"I'd like an old fashioned with an extra espresso." Cough, "I'll also take a margarita." I'd mumble quietly at the end.
"Of course sir, just make your way back here and you'll be good to go, oh and we accept upfront pay."
I'd pull out my last silver and hand it to the lady.
"Thank you!"
She led me to a back room while giving me a margarita. That was quick!
The door shut and I waited, a timer read 10 minutes. Supposedly before I was transported to the starting halls .
As I wait and finish my margarita I begin practicing my gyu and manipulation, forming nen art and sculptures out of the glass my margarita was in.
Clink!
"Looks like it's time." I stand up, prepared for a door to open. I begin to feel a shift in gravity as I begin to descend. An elavator? Nice!
As I descend it goes into a very fancy room decorated with lots of things. Wow, this Hunter exam must have some huge funding. Looking around I can see lots of people. Ow.
What's that poking me? I reach towards my back to find a tag that says #346. I'll hide this for now, just to avoid getting targeted on later tests.
Gyu!
No auras visible at the moment, someone might be doing zetsu. I'll just assume the worst and that everybody here is criminals. No use having moral standards on a test that doesn't care about it.
Sitting down on a very comfortable chair as eyes stare me down, I begin to to think on the past events but there's one thing for sure, that margarita was delicious as hell!
Fin.
