Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 13 Chairman Netero

Soon, Eligi lit a charcoal fire on the ground, reaching temperatures of three to four hundred degrees Celsius, while Gaara controlled the temperature of the sand underground.

Normally, let alone a pig, even a chicken would take half a day to roast, but the exam time obviously doesn't allow for that. At most, it would be about the same as the first exam, three or four hours.

Subtracting the waiting time for the food to be served, it will take a maximum of three hours.

Therefore, the charcoal fire in the Ailigide was burning very fiercely, and the temperature around it could be felt to be sixty or seventy degrees Celsius, almost like a turbo furnace.

"Hmm! I'm suddenly getting impatient. These three candidates are really ingenious, using the heat of the sand to roast the food from all sides. That kid with the dark circles under his eyes is in charge of a crucial part." Menchi, as expected of a one-star gourmet, immediately saw the key and extraordinary aspects of kiln roasting.

Menchi focused his attention on Eligi because the other wild boars were roasted over fire, which wasn't very innovative.

Soon, under Menchi's expectant gaze, the pig was summoned by Gaara's sand shield. To the surrounding examinees, Gaara seemed to be performing magic, which was quite amazing.

They simply can't imitate it; just digging a sandpit would take a lot of time. That's why only three people, including Eligi, were on the field, using this method to roast them.

It's not that the other candidates lacked observation skills, but rather that they lacked the ability to copy what they were doing.

As soon as the pig from the underground cellar was taken out, the entire venue was filled with the aroma of food. The smell was very homey, but it was incredibly delicious.

"Hehehe, hurry up and bring it up." Buhali was already standing up impatiently.

It seems that the roasted pig prepared by Ailiji and his group smells quite good, but I wonder how it tastes.

"Hidan, cut the pig like this, then like this, and then take one portion up to each person." Eligi instructed Hidan to make a T-shaped cut, dividing the pig into three portions.

Hidan was very unwilling, but since it was Erigi's order, he had no choice but to do as he was told, muttering things like, "Lord Jashin, please don't blame him, it's this guy's fault."

Soon, a pig was divided into three parts and carried up.

Menchi cut off a small piece and put it in her mouth to chew. Surprisingly, the skin had a crispy texture, probably because it had been grilled over hot coals.

After the crispy exterior comes the tender, juicy meat and meat texture; the combination of the two results in a very good taste and texture.

"Hmm, the heat was still a little off. You burned the charcoal too intensely. However, this kid's ability to control the sand and temperature is commendable. Good job, all three of you passed," Menqi commented.

Menchi said it was approved, so Buhali, who had quickly dealt with the pigs, naturally also gave it a pass.

"Huh! It passed?" Eligi felt a little confused. This Menchi was too easy to talk to. Could something have gone wrong? Surely Hisoka didn't hit him on the head.

"What, is there anything else you're not satisfied with? I didn't say anything to you three when you were feeding a pig together." Menqi said angrily, stomping one of her slender, white legs on the table.

This made Eligi take a second look, but he quickly said in a serious tone, "Thank you for your affirmation, examiner." After saying that, he pulled Hidan back from speaking.

Seeing that Eligi and his two companions had passed through, Xiao Jie and his friends gathered around and asked, "Eligi, you guys are amazing! How did you do that?"

"You could try collaborating; maybe you can create something delicious," Eligi suggested.

It is indeed quite troublesome and time-consuming for one person to deal with a wild boar.

If two or three people can work together to catch a wild boar, the division of labor will indeed make it much faster.

However, Ailiji's suggestion was essentially useless. Even if cooperation was to be pursued, there needed to be a leader.

I don't know if it was because of Eligi, but the dishes made by the three of them were used as the standard for judgment.

As a result, among the nearly one hundred candidates present, not a single one was better than Ellige. This was quite embarrassing.

So apart from Ailiji and two others who passed the competition, everyone else was eliminated.

"Am I going to get a hunter's license right away? Isn't that a bit dangerous?" Eligi couldn't help but wonder.

In previous years, some people have eliminated other candidates in the first round and become hunters directly.

However, it seems that Illumi came here specifically for the Hunter License. If he doesn't get the Hunter License, he might come and steal the only one available.

Even if a hunter's license falls into the hands of someone else, it is still valid, and the Hunter Association will not reissue a lost hunter's license because of this.

This can be considered part of the Hunter Exam!

"I now announce that only those three guys have passed the test. As for the others, they can come back next year," Menchi said directly, ignoring the emotions of those around her.

The other candidates were naturally dissatisfied upon hearing this; they had come to participate in the Hunter Exam, not a cooking competition.

If it were said that Eligi had defeated everyone on the field by force rather than by culinary skills, there might not have been so much opposition.

"What kind of exam is this? I'm not satisfied. I want to be a bounty hunter, not a chef."

"that is!"

The crowd began to grow restless, while Menchi had her hands behind her back: "If you're not convinced, then come and try me. Be careful, or I'll turn you into food."

Killua whistled and egged them on, expressing his strong interest in seeing how people could be turned into food.

Just when the situation seemed to be spiraling out of control, the Hunter Association's airships arrived as expected.

Finally, the Hunter Association president jumped down from the sky, kicking up a cloud of dust, and leered at Menchi before giving a serious speech.

Menqi knew she had made a mistake due to her professional habit; she had just been embarrassed and couldn't back down. Seeing that the president was giving her a way out, she naturally didn't say anything more and agreed to choose a different exam question.

"Then what does it mean if we clear the game? Can we count it as clearing the next game directly?" Eligi asked at this moment.

Hunter Association President Netero stroked his white beard, then observed Eligi for a moment with one eye: "Those two guys over there, he created them with that thing? They seem quite interesting!"

If Eligi could hear Netero's thoughts, he would be astonished to discover that Netero was even aware of his theft.

Therefore, the items stolen by Eligi were indeed not simple.

It's a pity now, though. The stone seems to have merged with the Nen developed by Eligi. I just don't know if it can be extracted again.

"No problem, I hereby announce that you will pass the next level directly as compensation," Netero said magnanimously.

Eligi smiled too. He knew that the next level, the Trap Tower, would take seven days, and he could rest inside for seven days, which was a very precious time!
