I'm not sure how much time has passed, but I've dislocated almost every bone in his body. And he still refused to budge. Man, he is stubborn. I can feel a cold sweat appear on me, it's getting worse. I'll need to rest soon or I'll collapse again.
Esther: "Come on man, just give up already. You can fight the next guy coming up."
"What part of, no, do you not understand? I will not forfeit again!"
Esther: "Man, you are one stubborn man. Fine, guess I'll have to use 'that'."
I pull out a syringe, and with a reminiscing expression, insert it into his arm. Now all I have to do is sit back and watch.
"What did you do to me?"
Esther: "I did what father did to me whenever I wouldn't listen. Punishment. You'll be in a world of pain. Welcome to my hell."
His eyes start to become unfocused. I can see him wanting to so badly clutch his chest. Can't blame him, a heart attack is no fun. I stare at him as he spazzes about. Curious to see how I looked when I first experienced this as well.
Esther: "Hurry up and give up, then I'll give you the cure. If you don't want your heart to become as damaged as mine, I suggest giving up sooner."
Ninja guy is starting to look desperate. He must feel like he's going to die. But this isn't enough to kill him, I mean, it didn't kill me. He turns to look at me, well, tries to. He speaks.
"…I, give up. Just, give me the cure!"
Esther: "Will do."
I inject him with the cure, he's slowly stopping to spaz. As he's able to look more smoothly, I reconnect all his joints. That process was very painful for him. There, now I don't feel so mad anymore. The referee shouts.
"The winner, number 406!"
I walk off back into the group of applicants. Ninja guy staggers to get up, he seems surprised that I reconnected all his joints and removed the pins with such precision. Maybe I should keep using needles and pins? Leorio, Kurapika, and Killua stare at me with shock. Killua walks up to me.
Killua: "Esther, how did you do that? Were your parents also assassins?"
Esther: "No way. I just read about the anatomy of humans in books and tried it out on people. I've made a couple of enemies that way actually. Anyways, I'll just sit here and watch the rest of the fights. Who's up next?"
I sit down and rest on a wall. If you look closely, you can see my face very pale. I rely on sound to know who's up next. Hisoka and number 191 were up next. Hisoka won, obviously. But not before whispering something in his ear. What is he saying? After they left, it was Ninja guy and number 53's turn next. Ninja guy won. After that, Leorio requested the next match be postponed for number 191 to heal. So Killua and number 53's fight was next to start. Killua walked off, stating he just didn't want to fight him. The next match was with Killua and Pins guy. This is starting to feel dangerous…
I look up, Killua and Pins guy stands opposed. As Killua slowly walks to Pins guy, he speaks.
"It's been a while Kil."
Pins guy removes his pins from his face. His face starts to change, it's very interesting to watch. Killua looks shocked. Does he know him?
Killua: "Big brother…"
What?!
"Hey. I heard you stabbed mom and Milluki."
Killua: "Guess so…"
"Mom couldn't stop crying. She was just so happy. She was delighted to see that her son had finally grown up. But she's concern about you being out on your own. And she asked me to check up on you when I got the chance. Lucky me huh? I had absolutely no idea that you wanted to be a hunter. As for me, I'm here to get a license for a job that's coming up."
Killua: "I don't, actually want to become a hunter…I just felt like taking the exam."
"I see…Well that's a relief. In that case I have advice for you. You're not cut out to be a hunter. You were born for one purpose. To be an assassin. You're a puppet of darkness, devoid of passion. There is nothing that you desire nor is there anything that you wish for. As one who lives in the shadows, the only pleasure you're capable of is derived from causing death. Because, that's how dad and I raised you. What do you imagine that you would accomplish by becoming a hunter?"
Killua: "It's true, I don't really want to become a hunter. But, everyone wants something. Even me."
"You don't."
Killua: "wrong! There is something that I really want."
"Hm…Enlighten me, what do you really want?"
Killua is silent…
"What's the matter? There really isn't anything, is there?"
Killua: "There is!...I… wanna be…friends with Gon and Esther. I, I'm just so sick of killing people. I wanna be friends with Gon and Esther…Just have fun."
Friends? With me? He's the second person to say that. I'm…happy…
