So on the way to the second phase more trouble arose than you had expected, mainly with one person. Hisoka.

***

You run in the middle of the pack this time, hoping to go unnoticed by Hisoka, but that was your first mistake because off into the distance you hear screams. Second mistake not finding some other way around what you knew was coming.

Finally, getting involved.

You watch as Hisoka is prepared to kill a group of people and jump in sword at the ready, you knew better but honestly you didn't want to see these people die. You hated to kill or watch others kill, it was mainly instinct to protect these people. Suddenly it was too late you realize you were doing exactly what you said you WEREN'T going to do. It was the equivalent of saying, "HEY HISOKA I'M HERE!"

You managed to land a serious blow, which seemed to surprise Hisoka, that was until he notice the unique dragon design engraved on your blade. That creepy grin that always sends a chill down your spine spread across his face. You turn your head to see who else was in the clearing... it was the blonde boy and the other two you saw him walk in with earlier in the tunnel. They were staring at you in an odd way.

"GET OUT HERE WOULD YOU!"
They didn't need to be told again.

You look back up at Hisoka who towers over you, "(Y/N) what a bad girl. Not following orders."

You feel a burst of anger, "You make it sound like I'm a pet. " You sheath your sword knowing he won't kill you, he still makes you uneasy but that is just how he is. You start to walk away but then turn around and add, "Also if you tell the boss...I will have your head."

You know how ridiculous it sounds a 17 year old girl approximately 5 ft 4 inches saying this to a psychotic clown who could kill ten people with a flick of the wrist. Though not many people would think this you are a fully capable killer, you just don't like to do it.

You arrive at phase two and grimace, cooking? Really. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HUNTING?!??!

You didn't really catch the name of the examiners but you figured it really didn't matter, the first dish was a whole roasted pig... Okay that seems easy enough. Everyone passed. 

Next you have to make a dish called sushi... what... the actual hell. 

Everyone seems clueless except the ninja... guess it must be a Japanese dish? Just on a whim you head for the little lake you saw on the way. Vaguely you remember overhearing something about this dish.

Sure enough by the time you've caught several fish you can hear the footsteps of many on their way... looks like you were correct. You hurry back to your station  and start to brainstorm, with the rice already prepared the dish seemed simple. However glancing at the tools set out before you, you knew it must be a complicated dish. 

Not knowing what else to do you just
shape the rice into a small somewhat rectangular shape, and slice the fish and just place it on top, for some reason it seems perfectly natural to you but you cannot recall a time you have ever cooked. Once again something pops up in the back of your mind but you just can't figure it out. You already have everything prepped and ready by the time the others have arrived. 

You walk over to the examiner and realize everyone is looking at you, it's rather unnerving. You set the plate down in front of her and uncover it. You can instantly tell that she is going to be much tougher than the other guy.

"It looks edible." She comments, however you remain anxious. She tastes it and looks you with a calculating look. "Is this your first time making sushi?"

Surprised by this question you nod, "Yes."

"It's not bad... maybe you should consider becoming a gourmet hunter. You pass."

You are hugely relieved by this and decide to go sit off to the side in the grass. Observing as everyone tries to mimic the dish you prepared.
