Looking at the room I was in, I could already tell this wasn't normal. Lots of people here either looked too exotic or too normal. This place is full of pros.
I'd try not to keep up any suspicion and what my capabilities were. I wore a black T shirt and some white-gray sweatpants with normal running tennis shoes that I may or may not of stolen.
A shiver came down my spine. How long are we going to wait down here?
As I think of that, immediately the lights power down and a figure emerges from the shadows with a convenient spotlight on him.
He was a normal figure, wearing all sorts of colors. A sort of rainbow colored guy? And he's wearing makeup to.
"Hello contestants! I'm sure you've all faced many troubles getting here but congrats, you made it! Now come." He says as he turns around, lights flicker off and spotlights from nowhere goto a secret door opening.
So dramatic..
Looking at what I see there are about 10 entrances towards a.. maze?
"To be a Hunter, you need patience and endurance." He smirks as he looks around at us. He glances towards me and scoffs a little.
What the hell man!
"A hunter waits for their prey no matter the circumstances, no matter the conditions. The mind is a fragile thing that can be broke-" He abruptly stops intentionally.
"Wha-" I didn't even have time to finish my sentence before we got immediately sucked down into individual tubes, okay now what?
After waiting for about an hour, my tube shook and opened, I look up to see the blue sky but it feels fake. So how are there lights?
Tall leaf walls, why can't I just go over the walls to the exit?
I tried jumping out, only to see huge flying beast and several traps set in place. Maybe I shouldn't cheat..
After walking around aimlessly for a while, I could hear a slight ruffle in the grass.
Zetsu! Closing in on the sound, I could hear rumbling and talking.
"I haven't found people in ages, how much do we have mapped down? This maze goes on for miles." Scoffed a brutish man.
"Don't worry, there's multiple exits so we're fine" said a more eloquent man.
"Then again, we already have a semi-mapped exit so why dont we just go there?"
"Profit moron, some people here are loaded!"
Alright I heard enough, honestly could care less about their money scheme but they have a mapped exit so that's all that matters.
I un-did my zetsu, focusing bloodlust into my ren.
"W-w-whats th-that?" The brute man said before falling on his ass.
"Stand up dumbass! Some creature or person wants us dead. Don't say anything and follow my commands." The eloquent man said, as if he had years of experience under his belt.
I walked forth, a little surprised, and simply took the map as they
I should try out my powers on humans, it doesn't look like they've discovered or have any potential in
Nen so I'm good.
I can't really hide or go in between the walls so I'm not at a position to get them by surprise.
I walk around a corner and confront them.
The brutish man begins cracking up while the elegant man while lowering his guard a bit still focuses on me. Fools!
Taking this advantage I bring out my arm crossbow and aim a well placed arrow into the brutish guys eye, it should keep him out of the fight for a while.
Seeing the crossbow firing the brutish man can barely react before falling on his back and writhing in pain. The more professional person has his eyes open on supposedly the speed of arrow, he seems shocked but focuses back on me.
Too late! In the time he was surprised I've already slide under his legs and into his vulnerable back. I put my katana to behind his legs and stab it into his thigh and cut the inside bit of his kneecap before bringing it to his throat.
"AAAAAH!" He screams in pain, looks like experience doesn't mean much when Nen is involved.
He collapses to his knees and yells, "What so you want?! The map? Take it!" He screams as he shoves it to me. That was.. easy.
His wounds and what I just did makes me sick but I have to be tough for what's going to happen. He cries but hardens as the brutish man gets up and sees how the 'boss' was defeated and decides to tend to him and not go for me.
Lucky!
This test seemed all too easy for what he said but I think it's just because I lucked out hella hard on this map.
Looking at it most of the maze is mapped out but the exits are intentionally blurry. Likely to keep people like me from escaping. What a thorn in my side.
Fin.

Don't expect regular updates, just felt like returning to this to finish an already semi-done chapter which I edited. Honestly I feel like I executed stuff poorly so you should tell me what I should do and give me pointers because I know there's some hardcore critiques out there who wish to do exactly that. I'm looking at you 20,000 readers..
