"If you had to choose between me or her, choose her.
Because if you really loved me, there wouldn't be any other choice."

Rumbling had erupted from behind you. You looked at the gate, which were opening by itself.

When it had fully opened, it exposed a huge house with tables all over the lawn. On the front step, was a couch. A big guy sat behind it and a girl sat on it.

"Will all of the applicants who passed the First Phase please enter," Even though she was far away, you could hear her perfectly fine. "Welcome all!" She had blue hair wrapped in coils and lime green eyes. Her outfit was a see-through shirt with a black bra, paired with shorts and knee-high boots. "I'm Menchi, your Examiner for the Second Phase.

"And likewise, I'm Buhara," The male introduced himself. He had on a yellow shirt that exposed his belly-button and forest green pants, with no shoes. He had dark hair and equally dark eyes.

A huge rumbling sound came from Buharas stomach.

People began whispering around you, wondering what that sound was.

"Sounds to me like you're getting hungry," Menchi looked up at Buhara.

"Hungry? I'm famished!" Buhara corrected.

"Well there you have it," Menchi stood up and placed her hands on her hips. "The Second Phase," She stuck her hand out and pointed. "Is cooking!"

People began complaining around you. Specifically, some guy with blond hair tied into a low ponytail.

"What do you mean we're cooking?" He yelled. "We came here to take the Hunter Exam!"

"That's correct," Menchi didn't seem fazed. "The Second Phase of the exam will be preparing a meal that'll satisfy our tastes," She elaborated.

"Why do we have to cook?" Someone from the crowd asked.

"Don't you know? It's simple really! Because we're Gourmet Hunters," She gave us a smile.

People, including ponytail guy, started laughing at her.

"Talk about a let down," The same guy commented.

Menchi didn't seem to happy about that.

Once the laughing settled down, the guy asked, "So, you're Gourmet Hunters. What exactly do you want us to make?"

"Buhara?" Menchi left the decision up to her partner.

Buhara stood up and spoke with a booming voice, "Today's required ingredient will be pork!"

"Pork? You mean pig meat?" Someone asked.

"Feel free to use meat from any species of pig in Visca Forest!" Buhara ignored the question. "As you see, you'll use these cooking facilities to prep your pork dishes," He explained all the tables. "To pass the exam, you must create a dish to satisfy our discriminating palates."

"But we won't be evaluating taste alone, so take this seriously. Is that clear?" Menchi had her arms folded. "When we've both eaten our fill, this portion of the exam will be over."

"Okay, enough talk. Let's just get to it alright," Ponytail guy waved off her words.

"Let the exams second phase," Buhara brought his hand up and smacked his belly, creating a gong sound. "Begin!"

Almost immediately everyone turned around and started running to the forest. Including you.

'What'd my mom say about cooking? Don't overcook it but don't undercook it? I wish I paid more attention when she was teaching me...' You frowned to yourself.
