I gritted my teeth, clenching my free hand. "Damn you... damn you Hisoka," I muttered, looking at the cards laid out in front of me. A 3 of spades, queen of hearts, and 7 of diamonds for my side. And a king of clubs, a jack of diamonds, and a 10 of hearts for the pedo clown.
We'd called a war due to drawing the same card- an ace of spades. "Looks like I win this war," he said with a devilish smirk, scooping all my precious cards to his pile. I cursed him under my breath, glancing at the few cards I had left.

I sighed in defeat, leaning back and tossing my cards back to Hisoka. Has it been one day yet? "You win, damn clown."
"I must admit, it was quite the entertaining game," he commended, wearing the same grin. "Yeah yeah, you can go away now. At least I'm not bored to death. Yet," I said, shooing him away.
There were around... 6 or 7 applicants here. I only recognized a handful of them. And they were all staring at Hisoka and me with either stunned or scared looks. Ah... they must be wondering why I'm playing cards with someone like him.
I ignored them, instead wondering when those four would get here. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember if they passed this phase or not from the show, but with their skill, I was 100% sure they would make it.
...Ok, maybe 95%. Or 89%...
Anyway, besides that, they protagonists! There would be practically no point if they failed here. Hence my faith in them. I have to admit though, I was getting a little worried. I think it's been a day, but I can't be sure without any reliable sources.
All I can do for now is hope they make it.
