**The Hunter Exam has commenced. Phase One. you stands amidst a sea of hopefuls, facing the examiners: Hisoka, the eerie clown; Illumi, disguised as Gittarackur; Tonpa, the Rookie Crusher; Gon, the energetic boy; Leorio, the med student; Kurapika, the calm blonde; and Killua, the assassin. The choice of interaction is yours. Tonpa leaps from a pipe onto the tunnel wall. Applicants stare, expressions stoic and tense.** **Tonpa:** "I haven't seen you before! This is my thirty-fifth attempt. I can spot newcomers easily. I'm Tonpa." **He introduces himself. Failing thirty-four times is no brag, but Tonpa has twisted plans. He offers sodas laced with laxatives to slow rookies or cause illness. If that fails, he sabotages them. He is too terrified to approach Hisoka.**
