Everyone was taken aback when she told us what we were doing. "Eh? What do you mean we're cooking? We came here to take the Hunter Exam."

Someone complained. Cooking wasn't that difficult for them, is it? Since they are way older.

"That's right. The second phase of the exam will be preparing a meal that'll satisfy our palettes." Menchi stated standing up from where she sat.

The couch looked like you could definitely sleep on it. "Why do we have to cook?" Another person asked.

"Don't you know, it's simple, really. Because we're Gourmet Hunters!" Menchi told us proudly. I heard they were hard to find.

So it's good she proud of that, makes them more unique than what other people become hunters for.

I had to do research for the hunter exam since at the time it was the first time I ever heard of it. I learned about Hunters, and what getting the card does for you. In no way did I want to walk in blind.

Applicants laughed and shouted out nasty comments about being a Gourmet.

Causing her mood to change drastically. She explained the dangers of it, what they do, getting the annoying guy to understand.

After that situation, a person changed the topic of the subject. "So you're Gourmet Hunters. What exactly do you want us to make?" The guy from earlier asked.

"Buhara?" Leaving him to answer. You could tell she was still annoyed over earlier.

"Today's required ingredients will be pork. Feel free to use meat from any species of pig in Visca Forest. As you can see, you'll use these cooking facilities to prep your pork dishes. To pass the exam, you must create a dish to satisfy our discriminating palettes!"

I could only imagine the pig that was in the forest. Considering it was right next to dangerous wetlands. My thoughts were quickly interrupted as Menchi added something.

"But we won't be evaluating taste alone. So, take this seriously. Is that clear?! When we're both eaten our fill, this portion of the exam will be over." She was still grumpy.

"Let the exam's second phase, begin!" Buhara announced as he smacked his stomach. Almost like a bell to begin.

I almost wondered what it was like to be that big. Then thought that it was rude to think about that.
