Chapter 1308: Hunter Exam 5
The partic.i.p.ants of the Hunter Exam weren"t stupid and all of them had considerable skill since they were able to pa.s.s the first phase of the examination. Before long, they were able to find the weakness of the Great Stamp and that was its forehead.
The Great Stamp had extremely powerful snouts that could destroy a lot of things easily and protected it from a lot of things, however, in truth, it was used to hide its weakness.
Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio, and other partic.i.p.ants also quickly defeated the Great Stamp and caught it back to the site of the second phase. They also started to cook it as soon as possible since they wanted to pa.s.s this exam quickly.
In their minds, cooking was pretty simple as long as the pig was burnt, they had cooked the pig and they had completed their exam, but in truth, it wasn"t that simple.
On the other hand, Haru, Shin.o.bu, and Charlotte prepared their Great Stamps meticulously.
"Haru, do you have burger bread and cheese? If possible, can you give me a sauce, vegetables, and pickles?" Charlotte asked while turning the meat of Great Stamp into mincemeat before turning it into a patty. She might have a "4D Pocket of Doraemon", but she didn"t keep food ingredients and only kept various weapons inside.
"...."
Haru was speechless, but he took out all the things Charlotte requested.
Shin.o.bu"s cooking was pretty simple. She cut down the pig and took out the belly part before stewing it together with a radish, egg, and ginger in soy sauce broth.
Haru also prepared his own dish and also took the same part of meat as Shin.o.bu which was the belly part of the pig since he also felt that it was the most delicious part of the pig.
However, the other partic.i.p.ants only pierced their pork into a large skewer then roasting it until it turned black.
"...."
Menchi frowned looking at most of the partic.i.p.ants, but then her eyes became curious when she was looking at Shin.o.bu, Charlotte, and Haru.
Unlike the rest of the partic.i.p.ants, the cooking process of the dish which was made by Charlotte and Shin.o.bu was very careful which made Menchi nod in satisfaction.
In Haru"s case, Menchi didn"t need to say anything since the smell from Haru"s dish permeated through the entire site which caused all the partic.i.p.ants to gulp their salivas.
"They"re amazing..." Gon said and wasn"t sure what to say when he saw his roasted pig which was black.
"...."
Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio also couldn"t say anything since they weren"t that different from Gon"s roasted pig.
Then one by one the partic.i.p.ants quickly served their roasted pork.
Buhara could eat everything and he didn"t care whether the taste of the pork was disgusting as long as his stomach was full, however, Menchi couldn"t accept their roasted pig and failed almost all of them!
Then when most of the partic.i.p.ants failed, Shin.o.bu served her dish to both Menchi and Buhara.
When Menchi and Buhara saw the dish in front of them their eyes became excited.
"What dish is this?" Menchi asked.
"It"s kakuni," Shin.o.bu said.
Kakuni is a j.a.panese braised pork dish that literally means "square simmered". Kakuni is a popular regional product of Kyushu, particularly Nagasaki. The origin of this dish is most likely Chinese, making it a form of j.a.panese Chinese cuisine, and it is similar to Dongpo pork, though not as heavy in the sauce.
"Let me taste it," Menchi said.
Buhara didn"t wait for Menchi and had already eaten the dish which was cooked by Shin.o.bu, but it seemed the portion was too small for him which made him sigh, however, he quickly pa.s.sed Shin.o.bu in this exam.
Menchi nodded and could feel the softness of the meat. The taste of kakuni was quite pleasant and made her mouth stop chewing the meat. She nodded and said, "It"s good. You pa.s.s."
Shin.o.bu nodded and said, "Thank you."
"..."
Everyone who saw Shin.o.bu pa.s.s could only twitch their lips since they weren"t good at cooking and it was also impossible to copy Shin.o.bu"s dish since they didn"t have enough ingredients.
Then after Shin.o.bu, it was Charlotte who made a double-decker burger for this exam.
Buhara and Menchi also gulped since Charlotte"s burger appearance were very appetizing.
The cheese on the patty was melting and the bun was being grilled just right.
The partic.i.p.ants were even gulped when they saw Charlotte"s burger.
"Let me taste it," Menchi said.
Charlotte nodded.
"Can I ask more?" Buhara asked since he had eaten all the burgers directly.
"Sorry, I didn"t have enough buns," Charlotte said.
"....."
Buhara was disappointed and sighed, but he pa.s.sed Charlotte on this exam.
"You pa.s.s," Menchi said without hesitation while eating the burger.
"Thank you," Charlotte said.
"....."
The other partic.i.p.ants" expressions became ugly since their cooking wasn"t accepted and they failed because of this stupid exam, however, when it was Haru"s time to present his dish, everyone turned silent.
"Dongpo Pork Curry Don." Haru smiled and said, "Please enjoy." He looked at Buhara and said, "For Buhara-san, it is a large portion."
"Thank you very much!" Buhara said without hesitation when he saw the huge bowl in front of him.
"....."
No one could say anything when they saw the meat on the bowl was jiggling which showed how soft it was, and the sauce on the meat caused the meat to glisten.
They didn"t even taste Haru"s dish, but they felt their mouths were watery at that moment.
"I wonder how it tastes..." Gon looked at Haru"s dish enviously.
Kurapika, Killua, and Leorio nodded when they saw Haru"s dish, and couldn"t help but twitch their lips when they saw their roasted pig which was very unappetizing.
Menchi and Buhara quickly ate Haru"s dish and c.u.m directly!
"Hnnghh!!!!" 2x
Buhara and Menchi couldn"t handle it anymore, especially when the juice from the meat gushed out like a waterfall!!!
Both of them ate very fast and before long they quickly emptied their bowls. They patted their stomachs and felt very satisfied.
"You pa.s.s!!" 2x
Both of them pa.s.sed Haru without hesitation.
Menchi looked at everyone and said, "Beside the three of them, you all are failures!"
"..."
Everyone was stunned for a bit before they shouted and disagreed with the decision of this exam.
"Don"t be kidding me!"
Todo, who was the partic.i.p.ant number #255, protested and complained. "I can"t accept this! I want to become a Blacklist Hunter! Why should I fail this stupid test!" If the test was about fighting, then he didn"t care too much, but the exam was about cooking. He wouldn"t accept this result no matter what!
Even if Todo had to admit that he couldn"t cook, he couldn"t accept this at all!
Todo walked toward Menchi and wanted to bear her up.
Menchi was about to kill Todo, but Buhara"s response was faster and he slapped Todo in the air!
Haru, Shin.o.bu, and Charlotte didn"t say anything and the three of them had been looking at the sky since they knew that someone was about to arrive.
"That very said.... it would be excessive to fail that many applicants."
Then suddenly someone dropped from the sky and caused everyone to feel surprised.
However, Haru raised his eyebrow since this person had been looking at him from the beginning to the end, and it wasn"t his imagination that this person seemed very eager to fight him.
"Netero..."
