Menchi: Who can understand me! I was originally very angry because I couldn't eat delicious food, and then people looked down on the Gourmet Hunters, a profession that I am proud of. Before I had time to vent my anger, I was regarded as a pervert… No one can stand this!!
"What do you mean?!"
Menchi looked at Lan with a dangerous look.
"Why, you also have other opinions about the Gourmet Hunter, right?!"
She was already upset that she couldn't eat Lan's food before.
And he entertained Buhara, but turned a blind eye to another examiner like her, and didn't come to take her own test.
All these behaviors have long made Menchi very disgusted with Lan.
At this time, when her anger value was off the charts, Lan stood up to stimulate her.
Instantly, she was ready to go.
"Don't get me wrong, I have no opinion on the profession of Gourmet Hunter."
Lan waved his hand casually: "Even if I were to choose, I would rather choose Gourmet Hunter as my profession hunter direction.
"After all"
He looked at everyone and smiled: "Who doesn't like delicious food?"
"Huh?!"
The other applicants were all stunned.
"You are…"
Todo was even more confused.
"In this world, there are many rare delicacies, but these delicious ingredients are often extremely ferocious monsters when alive, or grow in natural dangers with harsh environments, or even beyond human cognition."
Lan slowly introduced: "Therefore, in this world, many Gourmet Hunters specialize in going deep into the forest and risking their lives to capture rare delicacies."
"They bring all kinds of delicacies to people in the world, and it is also a very respectable profession."
Then he looked at Todo: "Sometimes, the contribution made by Blacklist Hunters may not even be as good as that of Gourmet Hunters."
"Every time a Gourmet Hunter digs out a new ingredient, it not only means that there can be one more delicacy in the world but also means that many people can survive with this delicacy."
"The city can use it as a signboard to develop the tourism industry to drive the economy and provide jobs."
"Compared to Blacklist Hunters, Gourmet Hunters are closer to the public."
Todo opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
But due to Lan's strength, he finally closed his mouth in a sullen manner.
"Do you think so?"
Even Menchi's expression eased a lot after hearing Lan's words.
The fact that the other party looked at the Gourmet Hunters in this way made her have a much better impression of Lan.
"Of course, most Gourmet Hunters are worthy of respect." He looked at her again and then shook his head,
"But unfortunately, this does not include you."
"Huh?!!"
Menchi, who was about to put the knife in her hand into the scabbard, paused.
"What do you mean?!"
"It means that I think you are not qualified as a Gourmet Hunter."
Lan looked straight at her: "Gourmet Hunters certainly have an endless pursuit of ingredients and dishes, and they have their own requirements and understanding of taste."
"However, these Gourmet Hunters know where, what occasions, and what situations to pursue such taste in a reasonable and legal manner."
"If it is the kind of behavior that is just for the taste, and completely disregards everything and does not care about any restrictions."
"In my opinion, the harm and consequences they bring are like the criminals pursued by Blacklist Hunters, and even no less than them."
Menchi narrowed her eyes again when she heard this,
"You said this..."
A vague momentum began to rise from her body: "Are you deliberately picking on me?!"
"That's right!"
Lan was not playing tricks and was frank and direct:
"Although you are a Gourmet Hunter, your main identity now is as an examiner of the Hunter Exam."
"Using taste, a specialty of Gourmet Hunters, as a criterion, this itself is a dereliction of duty as an examiner."
"It is not only unfair to the applicants who took the test, but also undermines the impartiality of the Hunter Exam, and it also discredits the profession of Gourmet Hunters."
Lan waved his hand and swept around: "So many applicants are not convinced by your result, which tells by itself."
"It is unreasonable to impose your pursuit of food and taste on this test and the applicants."
"If you really like to pursue delicious food..."
Lan's words were also very blunt: "Then you should now go to the outside world to chase those rare ingredients and work hard for them."
"Instead of being in the Hunter Exam, facing the group of applicants who are not good at cooking with the attitude of an examiner, and using this aspect as a way of judging to embarrass them."
"In my opinion, your behavior is not only not what an examiner should do, but also not what a Gourmet Hunter can do!"
Good!!!
When Lan said these words, many applicants cheered loudly in their hearts.
Although they did not show it on their faces and did not say anything, they felt very comfortable in their hearts.
They had long been very unhappy with this female examiner.
It was a joke to judge whether they were qualified or not based on the taste of the food!!
If the atmosphere on the scene had not gradually become bad, they would have even been cheering there!!
"What do you mean by this…"
Menchi, who also listened to these words word by word, had already stood up.
With two knives in hand and a posture in place, the momentum on her body was already rising.
"Are you saying that I am not worthy of being a Gourmet hunter?!"
She stared at Lan and said expressionlessly.
"As a professional hunter, I still believe in the system and judgment of the Hunter Association."
Lan also crossed his arms: "But as an applicant who has been eliminated, I am skeptical of the professionalism of your test."
"Eliminated? You didn't even serve the dishes; you deserve to be eliminated!!"
Menchi narrowed her eyes, and the anger that had been suppressed before and not being able to taste the food rose again:
"I want to see; if you don't accept it, what can you do?!"
"I didn't serve the dishes because I don't recognize the standard of judging qualification based on taste alone."
Lan said calmly: "If the Hunter Association cannot give a reasonable explanation and approach to this situation and the result, then…"
Lan also looked at Menchi calmly: "I can only rely on my own methods to solve the problem."
Is it coming again?!
The old applicants who were originally clenching their fists and waiting for Lan to solve the problem with expectation all looked gloomy.
They have not forgotten what Lan did last year.
And now, Lan has clashed with the examiner again.
Is the act of beating the examiner going to be repeated this time?!
"I want to see how you plan to solve the problem!!"
Such impoliteness almost made Menchi laugh.
She took a step forward.
Then, she was blocked by a huge figure in front of her.
"Get out of the way, Buhara!"
Menchi was in high spirits: "I told you not to meddle in other people's business!!"
"Even if you knew this guy before, you can't get involved in this matter!!"
"Otherwise..."
Menchi was blunt: "I don't mind treating you as an enemy and getting rid of you at the same time!!"
"How can that be possible?!"
Buhara stood between the two of them, unmoved.
"This is not a matter of knowing each other, and I'm not here to be a peacemaker to mediate…"
He turned to Menchi: "I'm afraid you'll be killed by accident, Menchi!"
"You'll die!"
