"Did you enjoy the show?"

I didn't know what to say at first, my mind started racing looking for an escape. "You're quiet impressive. I wanted to see for myself."

He smiled yet his eyes questioned me. "Hm. We should be heading back, care to join?"

"Sure."

As we returned to the rest of the group, many of the applicants were already sitting or just returning like us. Hisoka and I split ways once we arrived, Gon and the blonde hair boy were shortly running behind.

Satotz came to the front of the group and stood in front of a gate. "Excellent work, everyone. The Second Phase of the exam will occur here, in the Visca Forest Preserve. So, I shall take my leave. Best of luck to you all." He then began to walk away with his awkward steps again leaving us staring at the gate in front of us.

As they started to open, behind the gates was revealed to be rows of stoves and small kitchen areas with a woman sitting in a chair and a larger man standing behind her. "All applicants who've passed the First Phase, please enter! Welcome. I'm Menchi, the Examiner for the Second Phase."

"Likewise, I'm Buhara."

Everyone began to enter and crowd around where they were. Buhara's stomached growled in hunger, Menchi looked up at Buhara and spoke. "You must be hungry."

"Im starving..."

She stood from her seat. "There you have it, the Second Phase will involve...cooking!"

We were all displeased with the phase, a man in front of me began to speak to her. "We're here to take a Hunter Exam!"

To which she replied, "Yeah you're right. Your challenge for the Second Phase is to produce a dish that will satisfy our palate. That is because, we are Gourmet Hunters."

We all ran into the forest and began looking all over for any pig that could be found. While I was looking down a hill with no luck, I turned only to hit my head on someone's chest, I looked up to see Hisoka staring at me. "Hisoka?"

He gave a sly smile. "Do you need any help?"

"U-uh no I'm fine, thank you though." As I tried to walk around him he suddenly grabbed my arm stopping me. "Is there something you need?" I turned me head to look at him.

His grip tightened around my arm. "Perhaps. If you make it to the end of this alive, come find me." Hisoka released his grip on me and started to run off. As time went on I found a pig and brought it back to my station and began cooking it, oddly enough I found Hisoka in front of mine. From time to time I would look up and stare at him and almost get lost in my thoughts. I could sense he was trouble from the start but a part of me wondered what he really wanted to tell me.

All applicants began bringing their pigs up one by one to be judged and boy was it not looking good. It was almost as if Menchi didn't want anyone to pass, she kept giving everyone an x. I was never a great cook so I already knew where I would be heading. Eventually no one actually did pass, Menchi went on to say that we were no where near qualified to be hunters in her eyes. Before she could say anything else she was interrupted by an old mans voice being broadcasted from a blimp up above us. "Even so...isn't it a little excessive to fail an entire pool of applicants?"

We were now all traveling to Split Mountain where we would be jumping down to catch us and timing the wind just right to blow us back up, a couple of applicants weren't lucky enough and fell to their death while the rest of us flew back to the surface.

A/N sorry for all the time skips but I'm not trying to make the whole exam take up too many chapters because I want to get to the main story.
