My reason? Of course, to be the strongest!

Being Flute Island, a island with lot of commerce is port wouldn't be something insignificant.

Just the port occupied 10% of the island. It was adapted from small fishing boats to Titanic level ships.

Leise was staring at a ship were most of the people were.

"Honey, please don't go. You can't die, you have 3 children, a father, a mother and a wife to feed." a woman was weeping at the feet of a man.

"Stay safe bro. I will be waiting for your news about you passing the exam!" two guys first bump with their faces filled with tears.

"Finally! My family will have an Hunter. AHAHAHA" an old lady wad laughing.

"Exam? Hunter?" Leise became confused after hearing those declarations. But after a few seconds he slapped his forehead.

"How can I be so stupid. Of course, the Hunter Exam. Perhaps all the people here are taking the exam to become hunters."

Leise approach one of the men.

"Is this the boat that will take the participants for the Hunter exam to the site?"

"Yes, they are kid. Why? Do you also want to go?"

Heading a kid no older then 5 years old asking if that is the boat to the h Hunter exam, all the people surrounding the boat began to laugh.

"So it really is the ticket to the Hunter exam, humph." happiness and a tinge of expectation flashed in Leise's eyes.

"Being 6 years younger than Gon when he participated in the Hunter exam, this should be the 281th edition."

Leise walked to the stair leading inside of the boat.

When he was ready to board, a man with a large sword stepped in front of him.

"Boy are you sure you want to board this boat. More than half the people that participate in the exam die or suffer serious injuries."

"I'm sure so let me through." Leise didn't stop passing the man.

"Sure boy. I will let you pass in one condition."

"What?" Leise was getting tired of man not letting him board.

"What is your reason to become an Hunter?"

Silence installed in the port. Everyone wanted to listen the reason for a 5 years old boy to do the Hunter exam.

A glint flashed in his eyes, as a formless pressure crashed in the shoulders of everyone in the port. The pressure release was so strong that all the people in the port couldn't be standing, making them against their will adopt a kneeling posture.

"My reason? Of course, to be the strongest!"

The moment Leise said those words, the pressure disappeared being replaced by an aura similar to a king.

Hearing the answer, the man with the large sword started trembling and with fear plastered in his face he gave space for Leise to board.

Leise in one step a time he reached the deck of the boat.

There stood a group of people similar in aspect to a gang. When they saw Leise entering the boat they began to pick their weapons up and started to move in his direction.

"Now I see why nobody was entering the boat." a thought flashed in his mind ad he made a devilish grin.
