"Y/N,when can you come over and spend the night?" My best friend B/Nasks. "Hm..."I hum"I honestly don't know." I admit sliding the bread into the oven. "I have work almost every day,for almost 8 hours a day." I admit"sometimes even 12!" B/N groans and leans on her hand"you suck." I giggle and roll my eyes"hey,if you have anything to say bring it up with my mom." I say as I hear the door ring. I see an older lady walk in,she clearly wasn't from here. Her clothing was to nice to be.

"Welcome to Sweets & Breads. What can I get you today?" I question with a small smile. The lady leans forwards and eyes are sweets before looking up at me"I shall take one of your sweet breads." I nod and get her order together and she quickly leaves.

I live in a small village that has a population of about 150ish. We live in almost ordinary homes like in the cities but obviously not as nice. I live with my mom and my 2 other siblings. My dad left us when my mom gave birth to my little brother Shokumotsu or Shoku. I have an older sister,then my little brother. My mom owns this bakery,we are the best sweet and bread shop in town.

"Hon?" I turn to see my mom walking out of the back room"yes?" She picks up the apron from the hook and wraps herself up with it"go and take a break." My eyes widened"but mom I-"she shakes her head"go. You deserve it. Plus,we are low on butter. So think about this way,think of it as going grocery shopping for me." I nod"o-ok." I take off the apron and hang it on the hanger.

Me and B/N walked around the town. I carried a bag of groceries while B/N had a small bag of store bought candy in her hand. "I don't know how you can eat that stuff." I said"it's nasty." She rolls her eyes"sorry I wasn't raised in homemade stuff." I cross my arms and we continue towards the shop.

"Have you heard that the Hunter's Exam is going to be tomorrow?"I hear someone say"really? I thought that they just had one."

"B/N,what's the Hunter's Exam?" B/N turns to me"you don't know what the Hunter's Exam is?" I shake my head"no...should I?" She nods"the Hunter Exam in short is basically where a group of people come together and go against really hard challenges. I've heard that a lot of people die because of it. And it's really rare for newer people to pass it on the first try." My eyes widened"woah! That sounds like so much fun!" I exclaim"uh,d-do I have to repeat myself?! You could D I E!" I nod"I know." I agree"but I mean,it sounds a whole lot more fun than being here."

She hit me on my arm as I laugh. "TAKE THAT BACK!" I laugh and we finally arrive at the bakery once more. "I've gotta head home. It was nice talking to ya!" B/F yells rushing off. I sigh and push open the door to the bakery.

"I'm back." I say and see my mom doodling on a piece of paper. "Welcome back hon. What all did you get?" She asks getting up from her spot"well the butter obviously then a few snacks and such." I tell her walking into the back room.

"Well,you can put all of that away. I'm fixing to close up shop." I put the bag on the table"huh? Why?" She sighs"business has been slow today. So there's no point in staying open." I nod and hear footsteps down the hall. I turn to see my sister,Ram. "Welcome back." She smiles as I nod"so what are we having for supper?" She asks sitting down at the table"I don't know. Hey mom! What are we-"she hits me over the head"no yelling. I've told you this! And I was thinking about F/Ftonight." I nod with a smile"pleassse!" She nods"alright. I'll get to it."

We sat around the table eating supper until Ram spoke up. "I hear everyone talking about the Hunter's Exam." Ram states as I see my mom nod"yes. They are." I take a sip from my water and set the cup down on the table. "I have a question..."I trail off"what is it?" Mom asks taking a bite of the food"w-well...I wanted to know if I could take the Hunter's Exam?" My mom flinches as my sister chokes on her drink. "DO YOU WISH TO DIE IDIOT?!" Ram screams"R-Ram...keep it down. You'll wake you're brother..."my mom then turns to me.

"Ram is right though..."I nod"but,Hunter's can do anything they want really." I admit"and why do you want to become one,huh?" Ram growls slightly"w-well if I get enough money then I can help us move out of this town!" I admit with a smile"plus,I could maybe fix up this village!" My mom sighs sadly"Y/N..."she trails off"if...if you wish to take the exam...then you may."

My eyes widen as my smile does as well. I jump up and quickly hug my mom"THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" She nods"yes yes. Now please eat up before it turns colder." I nod"so you're leaving tomorrow?" I nod"I'll probably leave early tomorrow..."I trail off"where is it located anyways?" I hum"I think it's in Zanban?" Ram hums"guess that's where I'm going tomorrow then!"
