Next morning. It was time to leave.
Mito, Gon, Sullivan, and Hermione were at the port. Mito came to send them she also prepared food for the three.
"Gon listen to Sullivan and Hermione okay. and be safe in your journey."
Mito hugged Gon again. but to everyone surprised Mito also hugged Sullivan and Hermione.
"Also you two please stay safe and please take care of Gon for me"
Sullivan and Hermione promised her that they will take care of Gon. He is like their little brother at this point.
Sullivan, Hermione, and Gon then aboard the ship. Mito felt sad seeing the three on the ship but before the ship sailed they shout at her they promised her that they will come back after they passed the test.
"Well, this is the first step in becoming a hunter are you ready Gon!"
"Oh!"
Sullivan spoke to Gon with excitement in his voice. this is also the first time he has ever been aboard a ship. not to mention the ship that looks like a pirate ship.
Gon was also excited they smiled at each other.
Everyone on the ship heard Sullivan. They looked at him and Gon as if they were just kids.
"First step in becoming a hunter? What a joke. who let these kids on the ship."
"Becoming a hunter. they have overestimated themselves. There are many experts participating in this exam. they would be the first ones to be eliminated."
"Yes, only a handful of people could ever dream of being a hunter not to mention kids."
They talked down on both Sullivan and Gon they laughed at how stupid the two were.
Gon may not think about anything and also Sullivan but the one who was very angry now is Hermione.
"Shut up"
Hermione only let out a little bit of her aura. all the people on the ship felt like they were looked at by a predator. They felt suffocating.
Everyone was intimidated not even innocent bystanders were spared.
Sullivan looked at them without feeling anything they deserved it but he saw that Hermione's aura had affected two people who he wanted to befriend. He couldn't help but stop her.
"Sis. Just let them go they should learn their lesson by now."
Hermione hearing Sullivan says that nodded at him before stopping using her aura. Everyone could breathe now. They looked at Hermione in fear.
Sullivan looked at them with an apathetic expression before speaking
"You are all only this much but talk like you all are big shots. what a joke."
Sullivan shook his head before looking at the two people he want to befriend. The two people he want to befriend were Leorio and Kurapika.
He looked at both of them but something bothered him.
Leorio was the same as he had seen him in anime. He was a teenager with a middle-aged man's face. while the other was the one that bothered him.
Kurapika, Sullivan didn't think that he would be this beautiful.
'It's an Au for a reason maybe he is a she who knows'
Sullivan walked to the front of them before speaking in an apologizing tone.
"Sorry my sister is usually calm and collected but she would be violent if anything were concerned about me. Oh and my name is Sullivan Morningstar what about you two"
Leorio and Kurapika were surprised that Sullivan would approach them. Leorio didn't seem to suspect anything about him and decide to introduce himself. He liked polite people.
"My name is Leorio Paradinight and I am fine no harm done."
Leorio looked at Hermione in fear even he want to say something else he couldn't.
"Nice to meet you Leorio-san"
Sullivan then looked at Kurapika hoping that he or she would reply.
but to his surprise. he was ignored. Kurapika then walked away without saying anything.
Sullivan had a tick mark on his head.
Before Kurapika could walk away he felt something holding him and didn't let him go.
"Oh well if you didn't want to introduce yourself then I couldn't do anything my bad"
Sullivan then continues to talk with Leorio without paying any attention to Kurapika again.
The two talked for a while.
Leorio heard that Hermione was well versed in medicine He who wanted to be a doctor forget his fear and wanted to speak with her. but before he could open his mouth.
Sullivan cut in.
"Sorry but I don't want you to talk with my sister."
Sullivan smiled but Leorio could feel that there was something hidden behind his sunshine smile.
He felt primal fear so he should forget about talking with her.
Hermione didn't miss how Sullivan talk to Leorio. She would feel sad if he didn't feel anything if a man want to speak with her. but now she felt very happy.
'Sullivan is jelly hehe'
in the meantime, Kurapika was panic Sullivan must do something to him. He grits his teeth before speaking.
"My name is Kurari are you satisfied now if so then let me go"
"Kurari?"
Sullivan was surprised but not much.
'Well it's Au after all'
Sullivan must be prepared for the unknown right now. He didn't know what would be different from the canon.
