Mission Overview: It will be a turbulent voyage to Dolle Harbor, and trouble will be sure to find you. In the midst of your travel to Dolle Harbor, wherever you may be, either a person has fallen overboard the ship or a drunk and rowdy potential applicant has challenged you to a fight. It is up to you to solve the problem. If you succeed, the ship captain will present you with a tip on where to go next once at Dolle Harbor.

The day was perfect for boarding the ship! It was sunny, with no chance of it being cloudy at all. But Belladonna sighed heavily, she had no grudge against sunny days, but today's heat drove her crazy. She would be hiding under her black umbrella, protecting her skin from all the evil ultraviolets and she would continue walking until she found the ship that she was supposed to board.

"It seems this is the ship you have to board, milady." Muenster who was walking behind her would begin to speak. Belladonna could sense how worried the older man was feeling at the moment from his tone and she thought that was only natural for Muenster to act like that. After all, he had been taking care of her ever since she was little. "Yeah, I'll get going now."

Just as Belladonna took a step forward, Muenster called her. "Milady! I apologize for crossing the line, but... Please take care, milady. You will do great." With a mischievous grin on her face, the redhead would tease her aide, "If I die, you know what to do~."

"Milady! That's--"

Belladonna giggled, liking how surprised the older man looked. "Just kidding, there's no way I'll let myself die! Not until we restore our glory. Well then, see you soon, I guess." She waved her hand to her aide and walked towards the ship, ready to board it.

It was not long until the ship finally sailed and the mafia would enjoy how the breeze caressed her cheek as she leaned against the railing on the deck. She wondered what kind of exam she had to deal with... Not only that, she could feel a lot of people eyeing her intensely, perhaps wanting to study her. A sigh escaped from Belladonna's lips again, she didn't feel any potential coming from these people who were staring at her, but hey, it might be too early to judge.

"A pretty lady on the ship! Back in my day, you will be a very precious prize for the ship crew."

The redhead continued to stare at the sea, enjoying the sound of the waves instead of the troll who was standing behind her. But the man wouldn't have it, he would grab her shoulder, trying to get her attention. "Hey! Show some respect! I'm talking to you. Geez, women these days."

This was the moment where Belladonna rolled her eyes and slap the man's hand from her shoulder before turning around. She scanned the man's appearance from top to bottom with a smile on her face before asking, "Excuse me, who are you? Are you also a participant in the exam?"

"Heck yeah, I am! Just a word of advice, not many women make it in the exam. So you better give up right now. Or you know, I can protect you for..." The man grinned, his eyes were clearly staring at an inappropriate area of Belladonna's body. "Thank you for the offer, but you can offer your assistance to someone else maybe." Belladonna chuckled and started to walk away, just wanting to enjoy the sound of the waves. Yes... the sound of the waves... but the man kept shouting at her, although it wasn't that hard for her to ignore the man. Until the man got upset and stomped his feet before approaching her, ready to teach her a lesson.

Belladonna turned around once again, staying still where she was at the moment, waiting for the man to get closer to her. Then just when the man was close enough, Belladonna would swing her umbrella right at the man's leg, instantly tripping him. "Oopsie, watch your step, Sir!" Belladonna would say, acting like she got worried as the man lost his balance and accidentally fell off the ship.

"I got this... I got this!"

John Pepper's voice would rise as he hyped himself up. He had boarded the ship but went straight to his room as he took collect himself. This was so different compared to streaming, or vlogging or doing what he wanted. This was different, this wasn't just being himself and getting lucky. There were trials to overcome, there was his family's legacy to uphold. This mattered on so many levels. His ego would never let him live it down, but his father was always in financial straits and his mother was always a step from cutting him off. John himself had started covering some of his father gambling losses now, particularly the illegal ones. If he really fucked up in the hunter exam or as a hunter, he could lose sponsorships for his streams and it would be harder to financially support himself and his father. And what would people say if he couldn't afford multiple houses, multiple cars and to throw parties... he'd be a laughing stock, a fate worse than death.

He couldn't even bare to stream yet, but John would double-his phone and drone to make sure they were in working order. Fresh air and seeing other faces would do him good. After convincing himself of such, he would step forth, his drone in his knapsack and phone in his pocket. "Boba, where are we going again?"

The phone would chirp, "Well, if you read the boarding ticket you'd know. We're on our way to Dolle Harbor. I thought you were taking this hunter exam seriously." The voice was flawless, no stutters, no lag time. This project took John a long time, but it gave John two things he needed, an assistant that he liked and a content printing machine, he could never nix this automated attitude.

"Dolle Harbor, huh? I hope the food is good." Somehow, interacting with Boba grounded him. "I guess we should vlog the journey, it'd be a waste otherwise." "Good, I was worried you were gonna sulk the ENTIRE trip." Pulling his drone, Roulette from his backpack and unfolding the wings, landing gear and tail, he would set it down. From there, he didn't even give an order or anything but it seemed as if the drone turned on. "Alright, I got the wheel of fate ready."

The black and red blades of the helicopter would pick up speed and it would look like a roulette wheel spinning if looking from above or below. John was excited, pocketing his phone one more time. The drone would follow behind him, recording. As he made it to the main lobby of the vessel he would recognize a familiar face. He wanted to call out, but it seemed as if she was busy dealing with someone.

"GLAMSTAR!"

John Pepper would scream out as she tripped the chauvinist, definitely alerting Belladonna to his presence. "Boba, spotlight the rescue for me." "I'm not stupid you know, you built me."

At that time, he would tie some rope to the rail of the ship, and around his waist, then diving straight into the ocean. Swimming, stroke after stroke towards him, until reaching the end of his line. Settling down his drowning panic and bringing him back aboard. "Next time you won't be a dumb bitch, huh? Hope you learned your lesson, fa real, fa real."
