I was sitting in the shabby building with the rest of the Troupe. Time to time Uvogin would get bored and try to start a fight with Nobunaga or Shalnark. Shalnark was the previous gal, welcomed us warmly when we first came in. As I learned from Crow, Shalnark was male in Original Series. He was smart and good at analyzing.

Uvogin loved to fight. Yet, for some reason, he never challenged the short guy or the Leader. From the conversation going on around me, I learned that short guys name s Feitan. He was quiet and cold, never spoke since I arrived here. He had eerie air around him. Keeping me alert state all the time.

After a few hours, because there wasn't anyone arrived, Uvogin lost his patience and walked to the Feitan. "Feitan, maybe you should interrogate him. Pakunoda is not coming soon, it seems." Others looked at the Leader simultaneously.

"We wait Pakunoda. Leader ordered wait." He had a hoarse voice and he was skipping some words when he was talking. Uvogin was going to say another thing, but Leader turned to the East and looked there for a few seconds. Others also noticed something and looked that direction. I already felt with my Observation Haki that three strong beings were coming.

After a minute, one woman and two weird things walked in. The woman was tall and slender with blond hair. She had an alluring body, except her face was ugly. She was wearing clothes like a businesswoman, with a short purple skirt and blazer jacket. There seems to be there were no clothes under the jacket. She had a cold, uncaring look.

One of the other things was a mummy-like creature, covered by bandages. Except for the red short jeans and red shoes, there were no clothes on him. He was wearing red boxing gloves. Only his eyes and tip of his nose was visible.

The other thing was a short figure. He was covering his face behind a hair curtain. After that curtain, there was an eye I could see. He wore a light blue tunic, a pair of light blue pants beneath it and a pair of black shoes.

"Pakunoda! Where the hell you've been? We were waiting for you, for hours." Uvogin question them with impatience. I could see what thoughts running in his brain. He was waiting for my interrogation to over, and when they found out I was lying, so he could kill me. But, this will never happen.

Pakunoda looked at me and figured out what was going on. Looked at the leader and said, "We found out whereabouts of those groups. They seem to run from Meteor City, but we will chase them down, and kill them until each and every one of them die."

"Nobunaga and Uvogin found this youth in the city. He claims he dumped here. You know the drill." The leader said, looking at Pakunoda. Uvogin walked to me, waiting for my execution to called. Pakunoda also walked to my side and wrapped her arm around my neck. In just a few seconds, she walked away and turned to the Leader.

"What he said is true. He has been dumped to this city. He is sole survivor on some experiment group. I don't know the company but they were trying to uncover new powers. It is not something like Nen." Pakunoda told them the script Crow wrote.

Firstly, even when my powers look like Nen, the energy inside of me was Chakra, and Phantom Troupe was an expert on Nen. It was easy for them to see, I wasn't using Nen.

Secondly, in this way, I was going to be taught how to use Nen. And learning Nen from Phantom Troupe would be one of the best options.

'Well done Crow.' Crow saved me this time. If it wasn't for Crow to deceive them, either I had to fight with them or run.

"You welcome buddy. I told you, you don't need to worry about these kinds of simple stuff." Crow said, with a proud and smirking voice. It was one of the perks when you have the system. Even with a normal system, mind-reading could be blocked, but having a smart system can do more than the block.

"He has a strange power. It is related to space, I assume. He can take out a sword from a space belongs to him. Also, he has a special blade allows him to teleport. Both look like the same space power." Leader summarized my powers. Not all true, but for someone seen my powers for the first time, it was way too accurate. I am very impressed by this gal.

'She is smart.' I couldn't help but whisper. Thankfully no one heard me, because I was acting as if I was beware of my powers. If I was heard, then my cover would be blown.

Nobunaga walked to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Can I see that sword of yours?" he said looking me like a child. I took out the Very Good Sword and handed to him. I knew how he was feeling. Zoro was the same when he saw me using the Kitetsu Swords. Swordsman has some deep love against swords.

"Nice sword. I feel like it is out of this world. Where did you get it?" He asked, while unsheathed and swing it few times, and creating dangerous air slashed around me.

"I had it, ever since I was a little boy," I said. I wasn't lying. I earned this sword at a very young age, and it was with me ever since.

"Do you think he is not from this World?" asked Shalnark, walking to me and examining my body. What are they talking about?

"I don't think he is one of those groups, but there is something weird about him. Don't you think his power similar to those magic casters?" Nobunaga said, handed over the Sword.

"Magic may be similar but the energy they were using felt different. What do you think, Leader?" Shalnark asked to Leader.

"He is our new #7. He will replace the spot, opened after Franklin's death. Our next heist will be one year from now in Yorknew City. Since he is clean, send him to the Hunter Exam. We will need a license in the coming days. Pakunoda shot a memory bullet teach him information about world and information how we do things. Shalnark you stay with him until he reaches to the Exam area. You can meet with your group later. If you encounter one of those groups, don't fight if you are not certain about your victory. Dismiss."

After Leader spoke, a bullet approached to my forehead, I instinctively dodged it, but Nobunaga held my head and forced me to the path of the bullet. When the bullet hit my forehead, lots of information raided to my brain. Information was mostly about the how this world was operating, but there was some information about the Phantom Troupe too.

The Leader, Chrollo Lucilfer stood up from where she sat and threw me a gold coin. I knew what this gold coin represented. Thus I caught it and threw it into the warehouse. Shalnark took my arm and we started to walk, out of this shady building.

And just like that. I was the member of one of the worst criminal groups in all Anime Worlds.
