[ Y/n ] "It feels fantastic, and I can brag
about it in front of everyone. Who's going to stop me for it too?"

[ Hisoka ] "You have a lot of ego~"

He smirked

[ Y/n ] "And you don't?"

When I smiled, Hisoka just chuckled.

[ Hisoka ] "Do you have siblings?~"

[ Y/n ] "No, just been me"

While chatting, we witnessed a man fly and crash into a wall.

[ Y/n ] "What about you?"

[ Hisoka ] "I never met my family before, so that I wouldn't know~"

[ Y/n ] "I'm glad I'm not the only one"

He pats my head and smiled

[ Y/n thoughts ] "Ugh, he needs to stop doing that."

[ Menchi ] "And that alone disqualifies you all from becoming hunters!"

Before I stepped in, Hisoka lifted his card as if he intended to murder her.

[ ??? ] "Well, that said, it seems a bit excessive to fail every single applicant"

We were all staring at the airship when a man leaped out, spewing dust all over, but I had concentrated my aura so that it wouldn't land on me.

[ ??? ] "Hey, wait...who's the old man?"

[ Menchi ] "He is the Head of the Exam Committee, and he responsible for the Hunter Exam...Chairman Netero!"

[ Chairman ] "Oh, I just work behind the scenes, it's not all impressive"

[ Y/n ] "You know it's impressive...don't do anything and sit around"

I mumbled to myself

[ Chairman ] "I only intervene in the exams when little issues like this one pop up. Now, dear Menchi..."

[ Menchi ] "Sir!"

[ Chairman ] "It's come to my attention that you've chosen to fail all this year's applicants, the reason being, as I understand it...their general reluctance to challenge the unknown"

[ Menchi ] "No!"

[ Y/n ] "How long is this going to go on...?"

I rolled my eyes

[ Hisoka ] "Be patient, darling~"

[ Y/n ] "Quit it with the nicknames..."

[ Hisoka ] "But I don't have a problem with you calling me clown~"

He grins at me

[ Y/n ] "So, I have a problem that you calling me weird names!"

[ Hisoka ] "Aww, cheer up!~"

[ Y/n ] "I'm paying you back for this cut!~"

[ Hisoka ] "Like money?~"

I rolled my eyes when he attempted to be funny.

[ Y/n ] "No, dammit, you know what I mean!"

He started laughing

[ Hisoka ] "But I wanted us to be equal...~"

[ Y/n ] "Ugh, you're such an asshole..."

I crossed my arms

[ Menchi ] "We all will be making boiled eggs!"

Everyone began to discuss the fresh task in whispers.

[ Y/n ] "Where are we going to get eggs from?"

[ Menchi ] "From Split Mountains, Chairman, would you mind taking us there?"

[ Chairman ] "Split Mountains, oh I see....of course!"

*Timeskip*

[ Menchi ] "This is it. Take a look at what's down there"

[ Y/n ] "It looks deep..."

[ ??? ] "Ugh...what is that?"

[ Menchi ] "A spider-eagle's web"

[ Gon ] "They built their webs way down there?"

We all experienced air blowing in our face.

[ Menchi ] "Look past the web to what's underneath"

[ Killua ] "Hey, those are-"

[ Menchi ] "Those are the spider-eagle eggs"

[ Chairman ] "Spider-eagles build their webs in deep ravines like one. It helps protect their eggs from predators."

[ Y/n ] "Well, not good enough for us to get them..."

Chairman chuckled

[ Chairman ] "That's what makes these eggs one of the most difficult ingredients to obtain. Also, the eggs are commonly as "Dream Eggs."

[ ??? ] "Hey, wait a minute..do you mean-"

[ Menchi ] "You bet I do!"

[ ??? ] "Huh?"

Everyone gasped when Menchi leapt down and grabbed the web.

[ Y/n ] "Ohhh, that looks fun!"

Everyone is staring at me, and I just smile

[ Y/n ] "What? If you can't beat them, then you might as well join them!"
