"You're really something!"
"In the Biscayne Forest, there's only one type of pig that resides, right?"
"Yeah?"
Buhara scratched his belly, "Recently, the breeding rate of the Great Stamp Pigs has been a bit too fast, so it's perfect for these examinees to help clean them up."
"Moreover, only the Great Stamp Pig, with its naturally delicious meat, can withstand the various torments from the examinees and still retain most of its original flavor."
"And it can satisfy your craving and hunger, right?"
Menchi nodded repeatedly with a smile, "This is what they call a triple benefit!"
"Or you could say it's killing three birds with one stone."
A slow voice echoed in the venue.
"Exactly."
Menchi and Buhara nodded instinctively.
Huh?!
But soon, they sensed something was off and noticed that there was still someone present at the scene.
One of the examinees was laying out a tablecloth he had somehow procured on the ground.
The silver-haired boy next to him was curiously observing everything.
"What are you doing here? Why aren't you out hunting pigs?"
Morin casually asked Killua while spreading out the gourmet tablecloth.
"Aren't you not going either?"
Killua blinked his sparkling eyes.
He rested his arms behind his head, watching Morin's actions with curiosity.
No, two examinees.
When the exam started, he instinctively glanced in Morin's direction.
Seeing that Morin hadn't moved, he thought for a moment and decided to stay put and observe.
As for whether he could pass in the end?
If worse comes to worst, he could just ask Gon to help him get a pig.
In Killua's view, given Gon's kind-hearted nature, he would definitely agree if asked.
When the female examiner presents the next challenge, or during the subsequent tests, he could repay Gon by helping him out a bit.
Instead of hunting ingredients to make a roast pig, Killua was more inclined to observe Morin.
To see just how amazing this so-called tool master, marked with the highest commission level in their family records, truly was!!
Killua couldn't suppress his burgeoning curiosity.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
This saying fit Killua perfectly.
Whoosh!
The tablecloth spread out, and Morin snapped his fingers lightly.
"I'd like a roast pig!"
Immediately, under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, a large plume of steam rose from the patterned tablecloth.
Shortly after, a genuine roast suckling pig, with a golden, enticing sheen, appeared on the tablecloth before everyone.
Killua: "…???"
Menchi: "…???"
Buhara: "…!!!"
Right under their noses, a roast pig had suddenly materialized?!
Killua felt a slight shock to his worldview.
"Isn't food supposed to be cooked and require various ingredients?"
Killua was a bit bewildered.
If Killua was confused, then Menchi was in disbelief.
She rubbed her eyes, and after confirming she wasn't seeing things, she muttered to herself.
"This must be a space-type, storage-type, or item transfer-type Nen ability, right?"
She tried to rationalize the phenomenon before her.
She didn't want to admit that the food she considered most important in her life could appear so crudely out of thin air.
"Is this roast pig?"
Morin placed the fragrant roast pig on a platter and presented it to Buhara.
"Please, gourmet hunter examiner."
Morin said with a smile.
"I'm digging in!!"
Having already caught the scent, Buhara couldn't hold back any longer and shouted eagerly.
Taking the plate directly from Morin's hands, he opened his abyss-like mouth wide.
"Ahhh!!"
Seeing the extent to which his mouth opened, one might easily suspect that he intended to swallow the plate along with the food.
After tossing the whole roast pig into his mouth, Buhara chewed vigorously twice, and then his entire body froze.
Then—
"Delicious!!!"
His exclamation pierced the sky, echoing throughout the entire forest park. It startled the examinees who were battling the wild boars.
"This is the first time I've ever tasted such a delicious roast pig!!!"
Buhara was there, chewing with large bites, his entire face filled with the ecstasy of savoring something incredibly tasty.
Each chew in his mouth released a burst of fragrance that exploded on his taste buds.
He felt as if his tongue was celebrating, dancing with joy!!
The aroma seeped into his nostrils, then swept through every cell in his body that loved food! It was simply... an aroma!!
Buhara felt his entire body was cheering with delight.
"This is truly too delicious."
His favorite food, cooked to such an extreme level of deliciousness!
For a gourmet hunter, this was simply the happiest thing in the world!!
At that moment, tears of emotion flowed from Buhara's eyes, covering his entire face, which was flushed with excitement.
These were tears of happiness and joy!!
Transparent!!
"B... Buhara, aren't you exaggerating a bit?!"
Menchi watched Buhara's exaggerated expressions and his constant exclamations of "delicious" with a raised eyebrow.
However, while questioning, Menchi was also somewhat curious and... envious.
Because Buhara was eating with such relish!!
Not only was his manner of eating delightful, but the aroma of the roast pig was also permeating the air.
As a gourmet hunter, Menchi's sense of smell was exceptionally keen.
This aroma was not only rolling in Buhara's nostrils but was also wrapping around Menchi's nose.
It was as if it was gently teasing her sense of smell!!
Moreover, color, aroma, and taste represent the basics of food.
The aroma, Menchi had already smelled.
The appearance of the dish, needless to say, Menchi had witnessed the moment Morin presented the roast pig.
Such a radiant color was definitely not something an ordinary roast pig could possess.
Coupled with this unparalleled aroma...
Even Menchi found it hard to resist, swallowing her saliva!!
Menchi immediately turned her face.
"Do you have any more roast pigs?!"
Her eyes were filled with a greenish glow, staring intently at Morin and the strange floral tablecloth on the ground.
"Bring them all out!!!"
This aroma, I want it! I must have it!! My conditions aren't cheap, you know?
Never underestimate a gourmet hunter's pursuit of food.
Even if it's roast pig, which she doesn't particularly like, seeing such a high-quality, rare dish, Menchi would insist on having a taste.
For a gourmet hunter, no matter what the food is, as long as it's delicious to a certain degree, they would risk everything to taste it!!
Although Menchi didn't know what this roast pig tasted like~
But based on previous analysis and Buhara's blissful expression.
If Menchi couldn't see it, she'd be a fool!!
Moreover, her nose was constantly sending signals to her brain:
"This aroma, I want it! I must have it!!"
Menchi's mouth was also acting beyond her brain's control.
Instinctively, it began to secrete saliva rapidly.
Her mouth was filled with saliva, her lips and teeth moist.
With her last bit of stubbornness, Menchi managed not to let the drool flow out.
Instead, she swallowed it all back into the depths of her stomach.
Gulp?
Her throat moved, swallowing all the saliva.
"Bring out another roast pig!!"
Her eyes glowed green, like a starving wolf that hadn't eaten for days.
"I've already passed the exam."
Morin glanced at her, then pointed at Buhara:
"This examiner just said 'delicious,' which means I've passed the first round of testing."
