Chapter 4

 I go back to my station, and I see that everyone is cooking the whole pigs, I snort, they don't know how to do anything other than fight? 

................................................................................................................................................................

As I return I skin and cut the pig, dividing the cuts of meat. I cook the more tender ones a little on the grill and then a little longer in the pan at a low temperature to ensure that the meat cooks inside. I season them with some herbs and keep them warm, then I continue with the slightly less valuable meat and grill it all, seasoning it with mushroom sauce. Finally I use the scraps to make soup and add the berries.

A delicious scent wafts from my seat and many participants are watching me, "damn Kumiko-san I didn't know you could cook" Killua tells me while he and Gon look at me. I giggle, "well it's useful if you need to poison someone".

I'm honest, but cooking is something I like, and I don't struggle to do it. I plate everything, and under the astonished gaze of the other competitors I bring my dishes to the two examiners, the guy immediately promotes me. I turn towards the woman who is also the one who has failed everyone so far, she tastes each of my dishes, then with a serious face, she states "not bad... you pass".

I get off the podium and go back to my station, I yawn a little while I watch the other competitors fail.

"In the second phase the number of pass holders is 1" states the examiner. I smile slightly, "and who would that be?" shouts a short, stocky guy with the number 225 on his chest. I come out from behind my desk and show myself, "hello, it's me" I say in a sweet voice while I wave my hand, he looks at me, "Ah! A woman! It's obvious that she knows how to cook! But we are fighters!"

I tense up, usually when people underestimate me I don't care, or at least when I was a murderer I didn't care, but now this guy gets on my nerves as he continues to explain how women have no other skills other than cooking...

"Excuse me... so you're implying that as a woman I don't know how to do anything other than cook?" I ask with a smile that doesn't involve my eyes, the guy turns towards me and looks at me with an expression like DUH.

I lose my smile, while my bloodlust slowly escapes my control, making even those further away from me shudder. He stops and stares at me terrified, "Have you ever thought that in your ignorance you don't know how to do a basic thing like cooking, starting from the assumption that your mentality is wrong, we can also deduce that it is hypocritical if we consider what you're saying. Your statement is that women aren't capable of doing complex things like fighting, so you're saying cooking is simple, then why can't you do it? Take this curiosity away from me..."

I say, slowly getting closer to find myself in front of him, then someone hits him, making him fly until he hits the wall surrounding the area we are in.

I turn towards the examiner, "there was no need" I say, damn now I want to kill someone and I have no one to vent it on, "you would have finished him", he comments, "tsk" is the only thing that leaves my lips as I return to my station regaining almost complete control over my bloodthirsty.

I'm so focused on not killing anyone, that I miss the predatory gaze that the magician gives me behind me, and the analytical one of the murderer in front of me. I stay focused on my bloodlust and completely miss what's happening around me, then I discover that the guy in charge of the exam commission has arrived and decreed that we would repeat the second phase.

I was still a little nervous, but on the airship I managed to calm down. We land on a mountain with a huge crack in the centre, inside that are visible cobwebs on which eggs are hanging. I Know only an animal that can do such a thing, Spider-eagles, we approach the edge following the examiner.

With a "I'll go first!" She throws herself into the crack, grabs one of the wires and clings to it, then takes an egg and after a few seconds of silently waiting for the right current, she releases the wire falling into the fog below.

I lean over the edge only to see the examiner being hurled upwards by an updraft, after having reached the edge, she lands next to the candidates, "after having done all this boil the egg".

I turn towards Gon and the others waiting impatiently while an euphoric smile appears on my lips, I don't have to wait long, "GO!!" Gon shouts before diving, I dive after him landing on my feet on a wire.

I wait watching some candidates drop too soon and head towards certain death, I grab an egg and wait some more even if the wires start to creak, then Gon shouts "NOW!" And he lets himself fall, I follow him jumping, my stomach rises in my throat, the adrenaline begins to circulate due to the free fall, in that moment I am not bored at all.

I smile a smile of pure joy, then a current takes me, lifting me up, I copy the move seen before and I land safely on the edge, I wait for the others and then we all go together to boil and eat the eggs.

Fourth chapter done,

I honestly don't know whether to be satisfied or not, I usually give up on something after five minutes of starting it.

As always, thanks for reading <3.
