Hunter x Hunter – To Adventure - Chapter 3 Pretty Useless

“You must be happy right?” Yuuki’s mother asked her. Yuuki looked at her mother in confusion. “Am I wrong? You were smiling stupidly all the way as we walked back home earlier so I assumed you were happy to be able to play with someone.”

Urgh, Yuuki thought, I guess I’m not very good at hiding my emotions. Yuuki wasn’t just happy, she was ecstatic. She had just discovered she was in the world of Hunter x Hunter. A world full of magical beasts and special abilities. Perfect for adventure.

There was just one problem. The hunter exam. There was no way she could pass it. Yuuki was extremely weak. According to what she saw in the anime she probably wouldn’t even make it to the exam site. Only around five hundred of the tens of thousands that entered could.

She thought about the kiriko’s test. Yeah, there was no way she was smart or perceptive enough to pass that. Of course, only she could be reincarnated and still be useless.

“What you thinking about baby?” Yuuki’s mother asked, interrupting her train of thought.

Yuuki turned to her mother and sighed in her mind, there was no way with how protective she was that her mother would let her take the exam anyway.

“Baby?” her mother asked again.

Oh right, what did her mother ask her again, Yuuki thought. “Hey mum, how old it Gon?” She asked.

“Umm, around five I think.” Her mother replied.

The same age as me, Yuuki thought, That means if I want to take the 287th hunter’s exam, the exam in which I have the highest chance of passing. I have seven years to train.

As Yuuki’s mother prepared dinner, Yuuki’s mind was wandering. What could she do to train and become strong enough to pass the exam? She was useless right now and in her previous life she probably she didn’t think she could even run one kilometre let alone eighty.

Yuuki wondered how Gon even became so strong before he entered the exam. For Killua at least there was a reason, his assassin upbringing, but Gon was just a bit of a wild child. Maybe it was just his good genes.

After Yuuki’s mom finished preparing dinner and lay the table. Yuuki sat opposite her. She began to examine her mum. With her long blond hair and bright green eyes, she was quite attractive. Yuuki’s dad was lucky to have her. At least Yuuki might be pretty, not that that was super helpful.

“Hey, mum?” Yuuki asked.

“Yes baby?”

“Where’s dad?” Yuuki asked. She couldn’t remember the last time she saw her dad but she was sure that it was over three years ago.

Her mothers face changed momentarily when Yuuki asked that question before returning to normal. “He’s doing his job baby.” She replied hesitantly.

“When is he coming back?” Yuuki asked

“Baby, after you’ve finished eating, it’s time to go to bed.” Yuuki’s mother said, avoiding Yuuki’s question.

“What? No, it’s not that late, ” Yuuki moaned.

“It is already dark out, so it’s time to go to sleep,” Her mother replied.

“That’s only because it’s winter, it’s not actually that late,” Yuuki said.

“You know that no sun means it’s sleep time baby.”

“That’s not what you say in the summer,” Yuuki muttered under her breath.

“I heard that!” Yuuki’s mother yelled after her as Yuuki shoved the remaining food into her mouth and began to scurry away.

Yuuki lay down on her bed and began to stare at the ceiling. She wondered why her mother avoided her question.

Yuuki heard footsteps coming from outside her door.

“Hey baby,” She heard her mother say. Her mother paused for a while, “I’m going to take you to Mito’s house tomorrow okay?”

So soon, Yuuki thought. Maybe I’ll be able to figure out how he got so strong. Also, I’ll finally have someone to play with. This island is super boring.

Hopefully, I’ll get strong enough to take the hunters exam. It would be so much easier if I got a system or special ability though, right? Well worth a try.

Yuuki heard her mother leave the door and Yuuki slowly began to fall into a deep sleep.

“It’s not my fault you’re useless you know, ” a familiar sounding soft voice spoke.
