After having talked to the girl for a while, the four had learned that she was a pro hunter and her name was Biscuit Krueger.

Around forty years ago, she had first learned Nen and now, she was going to use her knowledge to coach them.

Not liking the idea, an irk mark formed on Killua's face and he stepped forward slightly, his eyebrows furrowed together as he scowled.

'You learned Nen forty years ago!'

'You're just an old hag!'

A harsh hit fell upon the silverette's face and he was sent flying through the air, causing a small drop of sweat to slowly cascade down the side of the blonde's face as she followed his flying form with her eyes.

Huffing slightly, Biscuit wiped off dust from the skirt of her dress and placed her hands on her hips, sending the two a confident smile.

Hearing the chirp-like chuckle that left Zeus's lips at Killua's misfortune, Valentine turned her gaze towards her friend with a deadpanned look, causing the hawk to pause at the scolding look in her eyes, which had him close his beak tight, turning his head to preen himself.

Trying to make it seem like he wasn't just laughing at the silverette.

༺♥༻

Once Killua was back next to the two, the young girl; who was apparently older than she looked, stood in front of the four with her hands on her hips and her bubblegum colored eyes looked between them.

'My name's Biscuit Krueger and I'm a professional Hunter',The girl; Biscuit, explained and gestured towards herself,'But I'm not to big on formalities, so you guys can just call me Bisky. In return, you must obey every word of what I teach you without question'

A groan of annoyance left Killua's lips and the silverette shook his head as a scoff left him, before he turned his eyes towards the two beside him.

'No way and no thanks',The silverette spat venomously,'We're not desperate enough to beg a total stranger to train us! So you can just forget about it. Am I right guys?'

Watching as his eyes turned towards them, Valentine bit down on her lower lip and glanced between the girl and Gon, her heart and her head telling her to just follow along with it.

But at the same time, she was hesitant to agree with either option and didn't exactly know what to think; they already had a teacher.

'The thing is, Mr. Wing's already training us',Gon stated.

With a smile forming on his face, Killua looked towards Valentine for her opinion and seeing the hesitation on her face, caused him to pause for a moment, already seeing the gears turning in her head.

It was clear to Killua that she didn't want to hurt the girl feelings if she declined the offer and she didn't want to disagree with them either.

But watching as she slowly nodded caused a small sigh to leave the boy's lips and his shoulders untensed as a feeling of relief filled his body.

'We already have a master, positions filled',The silverette stated,'We are not in the market for another one'

Blinking in shock at the familiar name, a small smile grew on Biscuit's lips and she immediately perked up, tilting her head slightly to the side.

'Did you say Wing?',She questioned,'The little boy with the messy hair and glasses? The one who never tucks his shirt in?'

Reeling back in shock, the four were surprised to know that she actually knew their teacher and slowly blinked in surprise.

'You know him?',Gon asked, surprised.

'Well of course I know him, Wing is one of my students',Biscuit stated,'Or, he was'

A bright smile formed on Gon and Valentine's lips as they looked towards each other, before their bodies perked up, the two of them slightly bouncing on the tips of their toes.

As she watched the two, the smile on Biscuit's face grew and a low chuckle left her lips.

If she didn't know they were friends, she would've guessed that the two were siblings by the way they acted.

'Wow, what a coincidence, huh?',Gon exclaimed.

'So, he's become a master now, has he?',Biscuit questioned out loud,'Time really does fly, doesn't it?'

Crossing her arms over her chest, the blonde looked between the three and her eyes looked towards the hawk on the girl's shoulder, a low hum of curiosity leaving her lips.

'Does that mean that the three of you are professional Hunters as well?',She questioned.

Nodding slightly, Gon smiled and neither Valentine or Gon noticed as Killua lifted his hand, gesturing towards the two.

'Yeah',The green-haired boy stated, before hesitating and gesturing towards Valentine with the tilt of his head,'Well, just Valentine and I are'

'You passed the secret exam too?'

The two nodded and Biscuit's smile only grew as a feeling of nostalgia filled her body as she looked between them, a small sigh leaving her lips.

'Wow.. that really takes me back',She sighed out,'Well, I guess that would mean that I'm essentially your masters master. Now that that's out of the way, let's start training'

༺♥༻

Learning that she was really an examiner for the Hunter Exam, Gon and Valentine's eyes brightened in awe as they stared at the blonde.

"That's amazing!"

'You were really one of the examiners for the Hunters Exam?'

A frown pulled at the silverette's lips and Killua glared at the girl, his arms crossed over his chest as his stare burned into Biscuit's head.

'Well, I'm not convinced that she's telling the truth'

Walking towards the boy, the two stared one another down as Biscuit placed her finger on his chest and a burning glare stared into the boy's soul, but he only glared back.

Looking between the two with wide eyes, Valentine felt a small drop of sweat slowly fall down the side of her temple and she glanced towards Gon; who had the same expression on his face.

'You sure are a stubborn little boy, aren't you? That's a good thing; in kids anyway',Biscuit stated and stepped back,'Now, you mentioned before that you weren't desperate, right? Book.'

Summoning her book, Biscuit watched as the three stepped back slightly and she pulled out a card, causing them to furrow their eyebrows as she held it up.

'What's that card?',Gon asked.

Staring at the card, Valentine noticed that it was one of the creatures that they had tried to catch before and hummed slightly as she tilted her head to the side.

It was called a "Hyper Puffball".

'Notice that the difficulty to obtain is rank D. It's a normal card that doesn't go in a specified slot in your book',Biscuit explained,'There are a lot of people who could've obtained this card without much trouble; the same can't be said for you three, and that's the problem. If you run into someone who's stronger than you are or someone who's intentions are completely evil—'

A sharp sound traveled through both blonde's ears and the two looked towards one another, one furrowing their eyebrows in confusion and the other quickly sitting down.

'Sit down, pretend we're just chatting'

Slowly sitting down, the three glanced towards one another and Valentine tilted her head to the side, gesturing towards something with her eyes.

'There's an enemy behind me. Your blonde friend here had noticed them as well'

Glancing towards the rock where the enemy resided, Valentine cleared her throat and a bright smile formed on her face as she looked towards Biscuit, acting as if the girl had said something else.

'Don't try to sense him out, he'll notice',Biscuit spoke in a low tone.

Furrowing his eyebrow together, Killua looked up and his eyes looked between Valentine and Biscuit, confusion masking his face.

'Then how did the two of you sense him?',The silverette questioned.

'He let his bloodlust leak out, it wasn't much and it was just for a second',Biscuit explained,'Because he's not threatened by children. But, I am curious as to how Valentine could sense him'

Watching as the three turned her way, Valentine hummed slightly and looked between them with wide eyes of curiosity, before slowly tilting her head to the side.

"I heard the scissors he was carrying as soon as he had closed them",Valentine explained lowly and made sure that the man couldn't hear her,"The sound of the metal scratching together wasn't exactly too loud, but it was loud enough that I could catch it for a moment"

With an impressed look on her face, Biscuit nodded and looked between the four, glancing towards Zeus; who's beady black eyes looked towards the boulder for a moment.

'Then he must be weak since he lost control',Killua stated.

'But then, he concealed his presence again almost immediately. The bloodlust was minimal and his reaction was swift, so he's very experienced'

A shadow casted over Killua's face and he looked down, a frown tugging at his lips.

Him and Gon couldn't even sense his presence, let alone locate him and the only reason Valentine had sensed him was because she had heard the slightest sound of the metal of the scissors scratching against one another.

'What should we do know?',The silverette asked and he looked up, his icy eyes gleaming with determination.

'What do you think we should do?'

'Well, we should definitely stick together'

'And why's that?'

'I'm guessing that the reason he tended up again, is because that there's four of us right here. So if we stick together, then he might think twice before attacking us'

"That's a good point..."

'It is. But, that's not what we're going to do'

Hearing her say this, the three immediately snapped their heads in her direction and furrowed their eyebrows together in confusion.

'If I go off on my own, then the enemy is almost guaranteed to target me. So, I'll go south and you get head north',She said and pointed with her finger,'Walk about five hundred meters without trying to conceal your prescience-'

As soon as she had turned her head, the three did the same and looked towards a rock pillar.

'Aim for that pillar',Biscuit stated,'Once you get there, use Zetsu, then get back here immediately'

'Right, stalking the stalker, huh—'

Before the silverette could even think about finishing his sentence, Biscuit slapped the boy across the face and his head snapped to the side as the sound echoed throughout the canyon.

With stunned looks on their faces, Valentine and Gon froze as they looked towards Killua, seeing the irritated look on his face, a bright red mark stinging his cheek.

'Be that way, you big dummy!',Biscuit exclaimed and stood to her feet, placing her hands on her hips,'I've had just about enough! I'm leaving'

Turning on her heel, Biscuit walked away and a huff of annoyance left her lips, heading north.

'Yeah, well, get lost and don't come back, okay?!'

Standing to his feet, an annoyed and angered look coated Killua's face as he gently tugged Valentine to her feet; his hand clasped in her own, before dragging her alongside him.

With a frown on her face, Valentine quietly whined to herself and began to wonder just what it was with these two just dragging her along after them.

They did realize that she had legs and could walk by herself, right?

Besides, the silverette could've just tugged her hand and she would've followed anyway.

Finally getting her footing, Valentine stood up to her full height; which sadly wasn't that tall, and walked alongside the boy as she kept pace with him.

As she was walking, she had realized that it was only an act for whoever was watching them.

'That woman, is pretty amazing',Killua stated.

Confused, both Gon and Valentine turned towards him with their eyebrows furrowed.

'I was on high alert, so I'd be ready for anything',Killua explained,'Even so, I hadn't realized what she had done until my cheek was already stinging'

Not a lot of time had passed and the four had soon reached the pillar.

'Now, let's hurry back'

Nodding in agreement, Valentine and Gon followed suit as a black aura surrounded their body, before they began to run back.

༺♥༻

Finally making it back, the four quickly hid behind some rocks and slowly peeked out from behind the boulders, watching what was happening.

The man had a mouthful of blonde locks in his mouth and Valentine scrunched her nose up, slowly leaning back.

"Gross.."

'When I consume the hair I cut, I learn things about it's owners body that they don't even know about themselves. I absorb everything!',The man exclaimed,'Muscle tone, potential for disease, genetic strengths! I'll learn everything there is to know about your body, before I start to toy with it!'

Suddenly, the man's whole body went rigid and he froze, small beads of sweat cascading down the side of his face as his wide eyes stared at the girl in front of him.

Taking out the strand of hair that hung between the teeth, the man took off his belt and discarded it to the ground, before standing back up, lifting up his hands.

'If I may ask, I'd like to spar with you?'

'So, I guess you're not just trash after all. Fine, let's go'

Taking off her gloves, Biscuit tossed them to the side and smirked to herself as she got into a fighting stance as well.

The air around the two was tense and sweat dripped down the man's face as his wide eyes stared at the young girl in front of him as he began to wonder something.

Had he made a mistake?

Launching forward with quite quick movements, the man went to strike the girl when she moved to the side and parried his attack with one of her own, breaking his arm in the process as she flipped his over.

As he was mid-air, Biscuit quickly turned around and slammed her hand into his back, sending him flying a few feet away from her.

Landing on the ground stomach first, the man groaned under his breath and went still, most likely passing out from the blow.

'You're really lucky',Biscuit stated and turned towards the man,'In a Nen battle, I would've annihilated you. So during that fight, what did you see first?'

Approaching them, Valentine, Gon and Killua looked towards the unconscious man, before the silverette stuffed his hands in his pockets.

'The first thing I saw, was that guy being flipped through the air'

'Me too'

"I saw you break his arm"

Nodding to herself, Biscuit looked between the four and hummed to herself, before glancing towards the unconscious man on the ground.

Her opponent hadn't been weak either, she was just that strong.

'If he were an in-game character, he'd be difficulty rank D',Biscuit stated.

Blinking in surprise, Valentine looked down at the unconscious man as he laid face-down on the dirt and a small hum left her lips.

'In other words, an instant game over for you guys',Biscuit explained,'And I believe that this is the second time I've seen you escape death by the skin of your teeth. How long do you think your luck will hold out?'

Staring at the man for a moment longer, the three glanced at each other for a moment and nodded to one another, before turning towards the blonde.

'Ms. Bisky..-',Gon began.

'Just call me Bisky. But if you insist on honorifics, call me Lady Bisky'

With a frown and an annoyed look on his face, Killua turned away from the girl and muttered something under his breath.

'I think I'm just going to stick with hag'

And with that answer, a harsh blow landed on the boy's chin and the silverette was sent flying through the air by Biscuit, an annoyed look covering her face as a vein popped out of her forehead.

Watching as he flew through the air, Valentine and Gon's eyes widened as their mouths dropped.

'Okay, Bisky, why are you here?',The brown eyed boy questioned.

Turning towards the two with an interested look in her wide eyes, Biscuit hummed slightly and tilted her head to the side.

'Well, I came here to clear the game, but also.. there's a jewel I'm looking for',The woman; who looked like a young girl, admitted and placed her hand on her hips with a gentle smile on her lips.

'A jewel?'

"What kind of jewel?"

'Well, it can only be found around here. It's specified slot 81, it's called Blue Planet',Biscuit explained and a dreamy look filled her eyes as she thought about the card,'What about you three?'

Having made it back to them, Killua rubbed his aching cheek and Valentine could see the bruise that was slowly beginning to form, before a worried look filled her eyes.

'I thought it was obvious that we're here to clear the game',Killua stated simply.

'Yeah, but also, my dad and his friends actually made Greed Island',Gon stated.

Taking her attention away from Killua, Valentine looked towards the two and watched as Biscuit looked towards Gon with a look of curiosity.

'Really?'

'I'm looking for him',Gon admitted,'And I don't know where to start. But, this game just might contain a clue on where I can find him'

Wondering who his dad was, Biscuit looked towards Gon and her eyebrows furrowed together as her lips pulled down into a confused frown.

'Who's your dad?'

'His name's Ging Freecss'

Eyes widening in shock, Biscuit's lips parted and she leaned back slightly, blinking in surprise.

'Seriously?!'

'You know him?'

'Of course I know him! Ging is famous',Biscuit exclaimed,'Chairman Netero used to say he's among the top five Nen users in the entire world'

Staring at her for a moment, Gon closed his eyes for a second and took in the fact that his dad was one of the top five Nen users, before opening his eyes once more, looking towards the girl.

'Bisky, if you'd be willing to postpone your treasure hunt, we'd be honored if you'd teach us Nen'

A shocked look formed in her eyes for a moment, before a small smile formed on Biscuit's face and she placed her hands on her hips, titled her head to the side for a moment.

'So, you finally came around',Biscuit said,'You should know in advance, I'm no softie like Wing. Are you ready?'

'Yes I am!'

"Definitely"

Perking up, Valentine glanced towards Killua and smiled towards the boy, causing his icy gaze to turn her way, before his lips twitched up for a moment.

The wide smile on her face seemed to brighten up the area and chase the darkness away, leaving nothing but light in her path.

A loud screech left Zeus's lips and he spread his wings as far as they could go, his beak tilted towards the night sky as he screeched out his agreement.

'And you?'

Hearing Biscuit's voice, the two looked away from one another and Killua turned his gaze towards the older woman, his face darken only slightly.

'I'll be alright'

A harsh fit of coughing filled the air, causing the five to look towards the man from before and they watched as he lifted himself to his knees.

'Now hurry and take out your cards',Biscuit ordered and stared down at the man with a hard stare.

Listening to her, the man shakily lifted his hand and summoned out his book.

Taking all of his cards, Biscuit gave the man his book back and put her own away, staring down at him with her hands on her hips.

'You get one chance',The girl stated,'Evade these three and their attacks successfully for three weeks. Do you understand? And if you do, then I'll let you go. However, if you're knocked unconscious or you can't stand anymore, I'll just have to kill you'

'So.. I just have to avoid their attacks, right?'

Slowly, the man turned his head towards the three and a crazed expression covered his face; as well as filling his eyes, before his intense bloodlust began to leak out, causing Valentine's eyes to darken as they narrowed.

'It doesn't matter what I do to them?'

'That's right',Biscuit answered,'But there's one rule, under no circumstances are you allowed to leave this crater. If you break this rule, you lose, and I kill you'

'What about us?',Killua asked.

Turning her gaze towards the three, Biscuit hummed slightly and looked at the hawk on the girl's shoulder with a perplexed expression.

They all knew that he wouldn't be able to fight and so, he'd be staying with her for the time being.

'The same rule applies. If you leave or you can't defeat him after two weeks..',Biscuit trailed off and turned her gaze towards the three, her eyes burning with emotion,'You will be punished'

Turning towards the stranger, Biscuit watched as he grabbed his side and she could see the sweat falling down the side of his face.

'You are the Bounty Hunter Binlot, aren't you?',She questioned.

'Yeah..'

With a small hiss of pain leaving his lips as soon as he had stood to his feet, the man turned towards Biscuit and put his belt of scissors back on.

'He's also a bounty himself',Biscuit told them,'He's a brutal murderer'

The man smirked at the three children and held up a pair of scissors, the metal of the weapon gleaming brightly in the rising light of the sun.

'Now, begin!'
