We wait. I can feel applicants waiting for us to say go. The web moves, it seems to be breaking.
Leorio: "What?!"
Kurapika: "The web won't hold us all!"
Killua: "Esther, not yet?"
Esther: "Wait for Gon to give the signal. He's smelling for the differences in sentiment blowing up the air. I can't smell the differences, but I can taste it."
The web sinks down even more. There are some people becoming impatient and are jumping off. Guess that's less weight on here…
Leorio: "It's gonna snap!"
Gon: "Now!"
We jump, grabbing the eggs. Oh I can't wait to eat it. The updraft picks us up, we land. Time to boil. We place the eggs into a huge bowl and wait for it to heat up. The Mint Lady walks towards me.
"Number 406, you know you've passed already. You didn't have to take this part of the exam."
I don't look away from the eggs, but I stop my constant drooling.
Esther: "Ah, but if I didn't go down there. Then I wouldn't have been able to eat my own egg. Food first!"
She smiles, I don't notice. The sun starts to set, turning the sky into a warm yellowish orange. The eggs are ready. We eat.
Esther: "THIS IS SO GOOD! Much better than the fish-eggs Gon and I eat back at Whale Island."
Kurapika: "I can see why they are called Dream Eggs."
I see Gon give some of his egg to the applicant that made fun of gourmet hunters. Guess he didn't partake in this phase. Mint lady speaks.
"Now you've experienced the joy of discovering something new. We risk our lives for that joy."
"I was completely outclassed this year. I'll be back next year!"
"Well, guess it's time to have a move on to the 3rd phase. Everyone, get on the airship!"
Esther: "Not again!"
Killua: "You won't die from throwing up so much."
Esther: "I'm not worried about that! I'm more worried that I'll feel hungry again. And, hey…You still owe me lunch."
Killua: "Ok Gon, I'll see you on the ship. I'm going ahead now, see you inside. Bye!"
Killua runs off, he better not be avoiding paying for my lunch. Getting on the ship, I start to regret ever coming to the exam. The applicants gather inside. Raccoon speaks.
"Allow me to introduce myself to the remaining 43 applicants. I am Netero, chairman of this years hunter exam selection committee."
"And I am his secretary, Beans."
Hey, it's the green man again.
"Originally, I planned to make my appearance during this exams final phase. But as I'm already here… I'm loving this tension in the air! So I think I'll stick around for the rest of the trip."
Beans speaks.
"We are scheduled to arrive at our destination tomorrow morning at 8 am. You'll find dinner waiting in the dining hall. You are also welcomed to get some rest. In other words, you are free to do as you please until you are contacted."
Killua: "Alright! Let's explore the airship!"
Gon: "Ok!"
Esther: "Not like I can eat on a moving vehicle. Alright."
We run off. We stop near a kitchen.
Esther: "Didn't I already say I can't eat on a moving vehicle?"
Killua: "Yeah, but it's free. Ready to break in?"
Esther: "Ok, I'll help. But only if this counts as me paying for Gon's lunch."
Gon: "Ready?"
G, E, and Ki: "Go!"
