". . . ake up. . ."
". . . i . . . wake u. . ."
"Li! Wake up!"
Lillium woke up to the alarmed voice of her younger twin. Her mind was fuzzy and she couldn't remember anything.
What happened. . . ?
"Li!" Killua cried out as he gave his sister a tight hug, which she returned but a bit looser.
"Kil, do you happen to know where we are, or remember anything?"
Killua shook his head, "No, I only remembered seeing a weird, greenish light and when I woke up, we were lying in this forest" He mumbled as he let go of Li.
Li thought for a moment, the memories slowly clicked as she activated her En, a habit of her when she is in an unknown part she needed to explore.
"Hn, that's strange. I can't sense anyone around here. Perhaps we are in a secluded zone, or somewhere in the dark continent" she muttered softly.
Killua only replied with a small "Maybe".
He stood up and pulled his twin along, patting dirt off their clothes in the mean time. He activated Ren, and proceeded to channel lightning through his body. Li watched quietly, her eyes glowed as she used her Gyo.
"Huh, seems like our Nen are being weakened by the slightest amount, but it's not a big problem. For now that is" Li told her brother, who gave her a thoughtful hum.
"So we can only adapt to it for now. . . . right?"
Li gave her brother a warm smile, "Precisely, Kil" and proceed to give him head pats, which he then quickly swatted her hands away with a light blush on his his face.
Li could only let out a soft chuckle. Tsundere, she thought.
*Rustle*
The twins tensed, as Killua's nails instinctively turned sharper and Li took out her needles. She sensed something/someone about 2 ft away from her right.
"Something's getting near. There are two, no malicious intents surprisingly" Li said in a low, calm voice, her visible right eye narrowed at the direction the noise came from, "Kil, don't hurt them yet, but for any reason they are attacking us, prepare to fight back"
Killua only gave her a small nod.
I'm glad we've returned Alluka home safely before times like this happened, Li thought, sweatdropped ever so slightly.
The twins then waited anxiously for the unknown person to come.

*An hour ago*
Nezu was sitting in his office with the faculty members to plan for the opening test when they saw a green light in the forest behind the school. It glowed brightly for a few seconds before fading as if nothing was there in the first place.
They stared intensely at that specific spot, no one can truly explain what had happened. It was a question beyond their knowledge.
After what seemed like an hour have passed, Present Mic was the first one to voice out everyone's thought,
"W-What was that?"
In spite of the paranormal event, Nezu calmly stated his opinion, onyx eyes swirling with amusement,
"It might be something that cannot be clarified at the moment. The only option for us right now is to see whether it was a villain attack, or it was something else. Whatever it was, we still have to ensure absolute safety to our students. Are you clear?"
Every members in the room nodded.
"Good. Aizawa and I will go and investigate. The rest of you stay here. Any objections?"
"No, sir"

*Back to the forest*
No one knew exactly what to say.
Silence filled the air as the four stared at each other. Aizawa had a look of confusion; Lillium and Killua looked at them with an unreadable gaze, which no doubt mixed with puzzlement; and Nezu, being Nezu, had an indifferently fake smile on his face.
"Um. . . Excuse me,can you tell us where we are?" Li started after a minute of completely uncomfortable silence.
"Why of course, you two" Nezu happily replied, as if they just accidentally slipped into the school, making both Aizawa and the twins deadpanned, "You are in UA!"
"U. . . A? " Li trailed off, confusion showed evidently on her face.
"Never heard of it" Killua bluntly told them.
While the raven-haired teacher widen his eyes in shock, Nezu simply responded to the twins with an amused voice, ignoring their sharp gazes that bore into the back of his forehead.
"That was. . . very surprising, I didn't expect you not to know this. And please follow me to my office. We need you to inform us about what you knew, and in return, we will tell you everything you need to know"
He didn't need to look to know they were being skeptical to his offer. Well, who wouldn't if a stranger suddenly give you two options for you to choose?
". . . . Should we trust you?" Li finally voiced out their thoughts.
"We can promise you that"
It was Aizawa who spoke up this time.
"As a hero, it's our job to keep everyone safe, including you two"
The twins shared their last glance to each other before following Aizawa and Nezu into the office.

"So, you two said you were from a world where hunters and a life force called Nen exist, and you two are professional hunters yourself, along with three friends of yours?" Nezu questioned the twins, who gave affirmative nods. They were sitting in Nezu's office with the latter situated on the opposite side of them. In the same room, there sat two men, who were introduced as All Might and Aizawa Shouta.
"Yes, that's correct" Killua answered truthfully.
They have professional licenses at such a young age! I wonder to what extend their potential are, Nezu and All Might shared a thought.
"And when you started to travel again, you somehow got warped here by a bright green portal, am I correct?"
"That's all what have happened, sir" The older sibling replied in her monotone, yet polite, voice.
Hmm, such a strange event, Nezu thought to himself.
"Excuse me" Lillium asked, successfully gained the mouse's attention, who simply replied with a 'yes?', "You said the powers in this world are called quirks, right?"
"That is correct, miss Zoldyck"
"Oh, please call us by our first names, people can be confused to whom you are referring to" She informed the mouse.
"Ah yes, of course" Nezu smiled as the pair of siblings visibly lowered their guard, just slightly. But then, he noticed the older twin looking deep in thought.
"Is there something in mind, miss Lillium?"
Seem to have broken her train of thoughts, the girl in question quickly replied, "Ah, yes, it's only a question"
Nezu gave her a signal to go on.
"It's quite a tricky subject" Li hummed in thought, "But if quirks are considered as a natural powers, I was wondering whether we could count our Nen abilities as quirks or not"
Nezu cupped his hand (or paw) under his chin in thought.
"Hmm, if that's the case, would you mind showing us your strength and abilities?"
Hearing this, the siblings glanced at each other.
After years of training and battling, their trust on one another have became unbreakable. They would know if the other had something in mind. Hell, they could even have a conversation without saying anything. Their everlasting bond is one small part which makes the reason why the ex-assassin duo were feared among hunters.
After a short eye-conversation, the twins replied simultaneously,
"Sure"
