CHAPTER 9 -Hunter Exam-

THE SECOND PHASE OF THE HUNTER EXAM

Third person POV

At this stage, 220 candidates have withdrawn from the exam, leaving 148 remaining applicants. Phase two of the exam will occur in the Biska Forest park. Behind the huge gate, stood two examiners who introduced themselves as Menchi and Buhara.

"Phase two will involve... Cooking!"

In other words, the applicants were required to produce a dish that will satisfy the examiners' palate. However, the test itself had caused a dispute among the applicants. They were wondering why should they cook just because the examiners were Gourmet Hunters-- which they considered a low-class Hunter.

Nonetheless, the exam will still have to resume. So whether or not the applicants agreed with the test, they still needed to cook.

"The required ingredient is pork. You're free to use meat from any species of Biska Forest pigs. You must use the cooking facilities here to prepare the pork. And you only pass if we both find it delicious." Buhara explained.

"And we will evaluate more than just the taste. Don't underestimate the intricacies of cooking. Got it?" Menchi added. "When we've both eaten our fill, the exam will end."

"Then, the exam's Second Phase... Begins now!"

**********************

"Catch a pig and cook it, this is easier than the First Phase," Leorio said.

"Fuwah! And here I am hungry. I hope I can eat the porks for myself." Rin grinned.

"You really have a big appetite for a girl, you know that?" Leorio commented.

"Why? It's not a sin to eat. I mean I have a strong metabolism that's why no matter how much I eat, I'm not gonna get fat. And believe me, when I say this, I sure eat a lot!" Rin replied.

"Yeah, if you continue on going like that, you're gonna end up transforming into a pig," Killua said lazily having his arm behind his head.

"Did you just called me a pig?"

"Maybe, maybe not." He replied.

"You can't say that to a girl! It's very rude! And I do not look like a pig! Nor will I ever be one!" Rin complained.

"Oh, so now you're admitting you're a girl~?" Killua teased while Rin was fuming in anger.

"Of course I'm a girl, idiot! I just hate people looking down at me!" Rin lashed out blowing out some steam.

"I don't think you should worry yourself with that, I think you're SUPER strong Rin. Not to mention you're an amazing person!" Gon said smiling with his dazzling eyes that made the black haired girl's heart skipped a beat.

"W-what are you talking about? I'm not that amazing..." She turned her head and blushed.

"Hehe... now you look like a middle school girl with a crush." Leorio snickered that made her snapped.

"Why don't you mind your own business and search for the damn pig!" She threw a punch at Leorio who yelled at her in return.

"I hope it's easier to find the pig," Kurapika said while his eyes scanning the vicinity.

While the five of them were walking along the forest, Gon had noticed something and turned his head. Without any warning, he just jumped at the downhill and slid down.

His action was followed by an amused Rin and Killua. They were probably wondering what he had found but his action seemed fun nonetheless.

Even so, Rin couldn't stop her body and crashed into Gon's back while Killua crashed behind her followed by Leorio and Kurapika.
