Hunter x Hunter - To Adventure

When they reached the port, the captain gestured to Gon and Gon went to talk to him. He probably was going to tell Gon about the tree.

Yuuki ran up behind Leorio and Kurapika as they approached the map. Soon Gon ran up behind them.

"The tree on the top of the hill," He said.

"What?" Kurapika asked.

"The captain said it was a shortcut to the testing point." He replied.

"That's weird," Leorio said, "The testing point is Zaban if we look on this map, the tree is in the complete opposite direction. We should just take the bus directly there!"

"Did he point in the wrong direction?" Kurapika asked.

"Or he just outright lied!" Leorio yelled.

"I doubt it, why would he lie to Gon after he helped save one of his sailors?" Yuuki said.

"Doesn't matter if it's wrong or not," Gon stated, "I'm still going that way!"

"You should be so much more suspicious of what people tell you Gon!" Leorio said, "I'm going by bus and I advise you to come too!"

Gon began to walk off and Yuuki and Kurapika followed him. Yuuki could have just walked directly to the exam site as she knew the building and the password but then she would have to wait for hours for the test to start. It would be much more fun to go with Gon.

"Kurapika?" Leorio asked, "The kid I understand but why are you going too?"

Kurapika turned to look at Yuuki and Gon, "Those kids interest me, I think I'm going to stay with them for a little while." He then walked off, following them.

"Is Leorio not coming?" Yuuki asked.

"No he's taking the bus," Kurapika replied.

"That's stupid," Yuuki said, "There's no way the examiners would let you get to the exam site that easily, the buses are definitely trapped."

"Why didn't you tell Leorio that?" Kurapika asked.

"If he's stupid enough to think that he can get there by bus let him." Yuuki shrugged. He was going to find out anyway, she thought.

Sure enough soon they could hear Leorio yelling behind them, "Hey wait for me! I missed you, you wouldn't leave without me right?"

"I think we should run away from him," Yuuki said. Gon laughed.

Soon Leorio caught up and they all walked down the path together to the abandoned village.

"I don't like this place," Leorio said, "Its abandoned, there's nobody here!"

"There are a lot of people here!" Gon said.

"Yes," Kurapika agreed, "Can you not hear the movement?"

"Yup, someone has been following us the whole time too," Yuuki said. "They're quite far behind us so they are probably trying not to be sensed." In reality, Yuuki felt for Leorio. She could hear some stuff but couldn't really tell that they were surrounded by people. Guess her senses weren't up to scratch.

"Wait someone is following us?" Leorio yelled.

"Shh!" Gon and Kurapika both silenced him.

Soon out of the buildings creeped out a group of robed people. The grouped up in front, blocking the way forward and rang their variety of makeshift instruments.

"Are you ready for?" The old woman said, "The exciting two answer quiz!"

"Two answers?" Kurapika asked.

"That's not a lot..." Gon continued.

"You are heading for the tree on the mountain right?" She asked, they nodded, "Well to get up there you must succeed in getting out of this town, to do that I will ask you one question with two answers and you must answer correctly in five seconds."

"I see..." Kurapika said, "Another test."

"If you fail you will be disqualified!" The woman said, "and you may only answer with one or two!"

"Wait only one question for all four of us?" Leorio asked, "That's not fair! Does that mean that if Kurapika answers wrong I will be eliminated?"

"Not likely, " Kurapika said.

"You would definitely be the one who answers wrong Leorio, " Yuuki said, "Or maybe Gon would I guess."

"Yeah I'm pretty terrible at quizzes, " Gon said, "Its good that if one of us gets the answer right we all pass."

Soon a man sneaked up behind them, "Well I guess I'll answer before you!" He said.

"Yuuki you were right, someone was following us." Gon said.

Yuuki gasped in fake shock, "You doubted me?"

"A little..." Gon replied.

"Rude!" Yuuki said.

"Sorry boy, I heard everything at the port." The man asked.

"Oh it was because you were being loud then Gon," Yuuki said.

"He can go first if you allow it!" The old woman stated.

"I guess if he goes first we would get an idea of the question she asks, " Leorio said. "He can go first."

"Here is the question, " The old lady began, "Your mother and your true love have been captured and you may only save one of them, one for your mother, two for your girlfriend."

"One!" The man said.

"Why?" The old lady asked.

"A mother is irreplaceable, I may find another love!" The man said.

The old lady conversed with the other figures. "Very well, go that way," she said pointing to a tunnel uncovered by the figures.

"That's not fair!" Yelled Leorio angrily, "The answer is different for everyone! This quiz is not fair!"

"Leorio!" Kurapika yelled.

The woman yelled quickly, "STOP! I don't want to hear anyone speak. You will fail if you do so! So here's the question: Your son and daughter have been captured and you may only save one of them. One for your son, two for your daughter."

The woman began to count down from five and Leorio began to get a plank as a bat testing it out.

Is punching him unnecessary, Yuuki thought. She got ready to help Kurapika stop Leorio from being an idiot.

"It's over!" The woman yelled.

Leorio attacked and Kurapika blocked his attack. Yuuki grabbed the wooden plank and yanked it out of his hands.

"Why did you stop me?" Leorio yelled.

"Because you're an idiot..." Yuuki muttered.

"You were about to ruin our right answer!" Kurapika yelled. "Silence was the right answer, you can only answer with one or two and the quiz has no right answer to you must respond with silence."

"But, but the other guy..." Leorio said.

"Nobody told him that he answered correctly, he was simply told to go." Kurapika said, "I heard him yell moments ago, I bet that path was trapped."

"Exactly!" The old woman said, "This path is the correct one, it will take about two hours to reach the tree!"

"Ah!" Gon yelled, "I really can't think of an answer!"

Leorio and Kurapika laughed. "We already gave the correct answer, " Leorio said, "you can stop thinking!"

"Yeah but if that really happened? What would I do?" Gon asked.

They responded in silence.

"I might have to answer that question one day!" Gon said.
