Menchi explains that in this test "You will make a dish for both me and Buhara. We will both try your dish and then we will both grade you as pass or fail based on how much we enjoy it. For an examinee to pass you will need both me and Buhara to pass your dish.", she went on to ask buhara what the required ingredients would be and he answered, "Pork the inquired ingredient will be pork."
The rest of the examinees ran off to the forest to find themselves some pigs but I stopped our group and told them what I was doing in the forest while waiting for the other applicants to arrive was catching pigs. As we ran off to where I stashed the pigs our group started asking questions about how I knew we needed pork for the second exam.
I being the responsible person I am told them a completely BS answer that convinced everybody but killua and Nicholas. My answer was "I knew that the most delicious pigs in the world lived in the Visca Forest Preserve so I caught a few to eat over the next few days." I'm not sure how they bought the BS I am spouting since I caught 6 pigs just enough for all of us and since we were in the middle of the exams we might not even stay here for a full day. Eventually, I concluded they are all just idiots.
We brought all 6 pigs back and I started preparing at my station for my dish. I will cook my pork in a way from Brazil in my past life called "Lechon" and it was the best pork I've ever had. I got to go to a Brazilian steak house as a celebration on becoming SGA president in high school and that's one of the many things I tried there. It is perfect as the whole deal with this is we have our own stations to cook at with only a giant spit roaster over a grill. So I Prepare the stuffing by pounding together lemon grass, and spring onions, and mixing them with bay leaves, garlic, and onion. Then I stuff the pig and sew its belly back up with my shadow. Then I cover the pig in milk heavily lathering the whole pig. Lastly, I roast the pig for a few hours until the meat is tender.
In this time all but a few applicants return. Those who did not return I presume must be dead from trying to figure out the weakness of the pigs. Some stupid applicants just roast the pig but the smarter ones follow my example and lather it in water to make it juicy and not burn the skin too much they didn't see what I did but when they asked Gon told them in vivid detail other than the stuffing and the fact I used milk instead of water. Even though they hear Gon explaining what I did and they can see me cooking my pig some applicants decide to stupidly ruin their pigs by turning their rotisserie too fast, turning up the heat of their grill to the max burning most of their pig and making it practically inedible and charred.
As I finish I take my pig off the Rotisserie I decide I will decorate it in 2 ways one is a pulled pork sandwich made from the shoulders of the pig for Buhara and the second is a fancy way for Menchi that looks like sushi. Buhara gets a normally pulled pork sandwich with a hunter association flag on it. Buhara will like it no matter if it is burnt like some of the other applicant's pigs so it doesn't matter about appearance.
For Menchi I cut off the belly meat of my pig and arrange it in a way to look like a spiral kind of like sushi but without anything but pork. As I do this I take some of the meat from the belly and make bacon. After rapping the sushi-like creation with bacon I pour just enough of the meats juice to make the dish look perfect.
As I bring the dishes up I drip 3 drops of sauce onto Mechi's plate for appearance purposes. Buhara salivates watching me place both plates in front of him and Menchi. Menchi takes a bite of my pork and exclaims "Finally someone serious about cooking" then immediately precedes to hold up her sign for a pass. All the examinees who completely copied my idea failed but those with creation no matter how it looked as long as it was presentable and tasted good passed as all the meat tasted completely delicious. I ate the rest of the pig I didn't use for the test while waiting for the other examinees to be finished.
While the exam finished an airship with the Hunter Association logo appeared and Mr. Beans asked for all applicants who passed to board the airship to go to the third phase of the exams.
As we continued I counted only 44 applicants who passed getting aboard the airship. Mr. Beans grouped everyone into a hall in the airship. He explained that it would be taking us to the next exam phase and we would arrive around 5 a.m. tomorrow.
