We all stared at her in silence, others in shock, some quietly disappointed. My eyes widened as I spotted Hisoka from the corner of my eye, holding a card between his fingers. Thankfully, he looked up as a voice emitted from a loud microphone. We all did, actually. "Well, that said, it seems a bit excessive to fail every single applicant."

The voice rang throughout the area, and as we looked up, we saw a large airship with the Hunter's Associa tion flag printed on the side. "The Hunter's Association! It must be someone from the exam committee," one of the applicants said. Right out of of one of the windows of the airship, someone jumped out before landing roughly onto the ground, dirt flying everywhere and causing the people surrounding the front to be blasted by it. I closed my eyes and covered my face as dirt and wind blew past me, careful not to inhale anything. As the gusts died down, I slowly opened my eyes to see an old man- uh, the chairman making his way towards us, his wooden sandals- (geta, I believe they're called) clacking against the ground before he suddenly stopped. "Hey, wait. Who's the old man?" Someone asked. Menchi walked up and said, "He is the Head of the Exam Committee, and he's responsible for the Hunter Exam. Chairman Netero." "Oh, I just work behind the scenes. It's not all that impressive," Chairman Netero dismissed. "I only intervene in the exams when little issues like this one pop up. Now, dear Menchi," he said, looking up at her. "Sir," she replied. "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," he said. 'AYE! I CAUGHT THAT SLIP, LOOKIN' AT HER BOOBS AND SHIT!' I gaped, looking around if anyone else caught that.

"No. I'm sorry, sir, but I snapped when a candidate insulted Gourmet Hunters. And I'm afraid I made the exam harder than necessary," she said, bowing her head. "I see, but it seems you're aware that this exam was completely unacceptable," the Chairman replied. "Yes. It's just that I get so emotional when food is involved-" 'ME TOOOO MENCHIII, ME TOOO!!' "-I'm not suited for this position," Menchi admitted before looking up at him. "So, I must resign as examiner. Please let them retake the Second Phase," Menchi said. "Sadly, I can't imagine where we'd begin to find an examiner on such short notice," Netero replied. "My deepest apologies, sir," Menchi said, giving him a slight bow. "Hold on, I have an idea," he said, pointing his finger up. Menchi looked up at him as he explained, "You can continue serving as examiner, but you yourself must participate alongside this year's applicants in completing whatever challenge you choose." Menchi gasped at his words before he finished with, "Well, what do you say? Sound reasonable? Surely that would make the applicants more comfortable with the results." She smiled and closed her eyes. "I suppose you're right. And I have just the thing for the new challenge," she said before perking up. "We'll all be making boiled eggs!" "Boiled eggs?" Someone exclaimed. "YAY! BROOO I FUCKIN' LOVE EGGS!" I squealed, clapping my hands excitedly and gave a lil' jump. "She gets so excited over everything," Kurapika sighed with a smile on his face. "Yeah! But that's kinda what makes her so likeable, y'know?" Leorio agreed. "Awee! I like you guys more though!" I chirped, turning to them

"Chairman, since I see you brought your airship, would you mind taking us all to Split Mountain?" Menchi asked him, pointing up at the airship. "Split Mountain? Oh, I see. Yes, of course!" Netero replied enthusiastically. I gasped and squealed, jumping up and down excitedly. "WE GET TO GO ON A AIRSHIP!? DUDE THIS IS THE BEST!" The other four laughed at my optimism before we all went on the airship, where I was excitedly looking down at the scenery and tugging my friends along with me. It didn't take long before we landed on the mountain, where everyone gathered in front of a long ravine. We looked down into it, observing the large webs and egg sacks in it. "This is it. Take a look at what's down there," Menchi said. "Wh- What is that?" some guy asked. "A spider-eagle's web," Menchi replied. "They built their webs way down there?" Gon asked next to me, Killua on his other side. I stared down in silent happiness as wind rushed past my face from the ravine. "Look past the web to what's underneath," Menchi said. Killua spoke up, "Hey, those are-" "Those are the spider-eagle eggs," Menchi confirmed. "Spider-eagles build their webs in deep ravines like this one. It helps protect their eggs from predators. That's what makes these eggs one of the most difficult ingredients to obtain," Chairman Netero explained. "Also, these eggs are commonly known as "Dream Eggs"." "Hey, wait a minute, do you mean-" Todo asked in a nervous tone to the Chairman. "You bet I do," Menchi grinned. "Huh?" Todo said before we all watched as Menchi leapt into the ravine, swinging on the web and hanging off of it as she stared down at the eggs below her. Everyone gasped and made sounds of fear as we watched.
