Keep on living just the way you are
The subject for Phase Two is cooking.
Cooking?!
At the tender age of 21, she earned the Single Star Hunter title.
Menchi is a genius who leads the world of Gourmet Hunters.
She is a tough one.
Because she's a genius, she's very whimsical.
Be very careful that you don't fall into a big hole...
The second half of Phase Two.
I am going to order... sushi!
Not edible!
You're all at the same level!
Sorry! I'm full.
This can't be for real... Everybody fails?
That's so stupid.
No way! The Exam is over?
Like I said, it doesn't matter. Just tell the committee what I said.
No way!
The outcome is the outcome. I'm not doing it over!
Menchi always loses herself when it comes to food.
Buhara, you keep your mouth shut!
She can't be serious.
I'm the one in charge of this test. Any objections?!
This is ridiculous!
Yeah! We are disqualified because of a cooking test?!
Who can accept such a stupid judgment?!
Oh my, I guess there's going to be a big dispute.
Anyway, I will not change my mind!
No one passed Phase Two in cooking.
Hold it. Time out. Give us a time out, okay?
Hey, what are you doing! Give that back to me!
I have to pass the Hunter Exam and meet my dad.
Oh, I'm sorry for you.
But look... The right to decide who passes or fails belongs to me, the proctor.
You got that, kid?
That's why all you have to say is, "I will re-administer the test."
No means no! This year's test is over!
You guys too! Go home already.
I can't accept that.
I can't just say, "All right, I'll go home!"
I've had enough complaining from this boy. I don't need it from you.
What...?
Look, why don't you try again next year?
Don't give me that crap!
I'm not aiming to become a cook or a gourmet, but a Hunter!
Not only that, my goal is to become a Blacklist Hunter!
And I refuse to be judged by a mere Gourmet Hunter!
A mere Gourmet Hunter?
That's right. How can you call yourself a Hunter
when all you do is eat fine food and lay back?
What a laugh!
That man is...
Number 255. The wrestler Todo.
I'll never acknowledge such a person as a Hunter.
And certainly not as a proctor!
I bet the other guys here won't accept your judgment so meekly either.
Hold it, Buhara. Stay out of my business, will you?
I can settle this by breaking a few bones in his body.
But if you do it, you'll cook him, won't you?
Cook...?
I'm curious to see what you mean by "cook."
Cripes! That's why I hate amateurs.
All right.
Number 255, I'll show you what being a Gourmet Hunter is really about.
The other applicants can watch too. It'll be my farewell gift to you all.
Give me about an hour.
An hour?!
Wow! She's so fast!
She's out of sight already.
I wonder where she went.
The situation is taking an unexpected turn.
It makes me more curious to watch it.
What shall we do, sir?
It seems she has turned off her cell phone...
She can be quite stubborn.
She won't change her mind so easily.
But she's not being very objective.
The purpose of the test was to evaluate
the observational skills and attentiveness through cooking.
It's too late to say that.
You know many Hunters are stubborn or eccentric.
With such people doing the evaluating,
it's no wonder they make harsh judgments.
In fact, there are times when the committee agreed
to fail everyone based on the proctor's recommendations.
However, in this case, I see a problem with Menchi's judgment.
It's quite fresh...
I got it!
Hey, isn't it almost been...
...an hour?
I'm back.
You said something about a farewell gift.
You're empty handed.
Where are you looking?
See this?
What the hell is that?
It's moss! But it's not ordinary moss.
Hey kid, you have good eyes.
Moss, you said?
That's...
This isn't ordinary moss.
Minced very finely and sprinkled over rice...
It's excellent.
Now try it.
Here...
How dare you to expect me to eat moss! What an insult!
It's not even funny!
Then I'll try it.
Here I go!
Don't do it, Gon! What if you get sick?!
Gon can tell whether it's edible or not.
It's disgusting, isn't it? You can spit it out.
Is it delicious?
Not really...
Which is it? Is it good or bad? Make up your mind!
I've never tasted anything like this before.
I can only say that it has an unusual flavor.
It's not surprising for a kid to be confused.
This was taken from the Big Horn Bear which is found only
in the Lauru Mountains beyond the Milsy Wetlands...
Only a few are known to be alive and this is their horn moss.
This is the rare delicacy that every gourmet in the world would drool over.
I guess it proves her capacity as a Single Star Hunter.
Hey, wait a minute.
She said she got it by going beyond that marsh
where half of the applicants had dropped out?!
Not only that, she made it within an hour without a scratch on her body.
She's quite good.
Do you have a better opinion of the Gourmet Hunter now?
I need a few more bites before I can judge the flavor.
Don't you dare help yourself! Do you know how precious this is?!
I don't care how precious that food is.
All I care about food is to fill my stomach.
A Gourmet Hunter who puts so much value in such a thing
is just a frivolous person with the "Hunter" title.
You are hopelessly stupid.
What did you say?!
We're not just going to accept your decision to flunk us either!
I'm going to grab your necks and drag you to the Exam Committee
to tell them that Gourmet Hunters are not qualified to be proctors!
Do as you please.
Hold it there!
Why you!
Damn you!
You are quite strong.
Maybe I'll be more serious.
Buhara, don't interfere.
Bring it on!
You're aspring to become a Blacklist Hunter with that ability?
Don't make me laugh!
It doesn't matter what kind of Hunter you want to be.
If you are a Hunter, you must be skilled in fighting.
That's something that you'll learn as a Hunter, whether you like it or not!
Miss Menchi, that's enough.
At this point, no one dares to doubt your ability as a proctor.
How should I put it?
It's not my business to say anything about Phase Two, but...
Then keep your mouth shut!
No matter what anyone says,
I have no intention of changing the test results.
Look! What I looked for in this test was not simply physical strength!
What I was testing in this Exam
was whether you had guts to confront something unknown to you!
Still, Miss Menchi...
Don't you think it's too harsh that no one passed?
What's that?
Oh my...
That's...!
The emblem of the Hunter Association!
That's the Exam Committee!
M-Mr. Chairman...
For the chairman to show up in person is quite unusual.
Who is that old man?
Menchi called him "Mr. Chairman," which means...
He jumped from that height... That's amazing.
I'll say! What kind of bones does he have in his legs?
It's been a while, Chairman Netero.
The chairman of the Exam Committee.
He's the most important person in charge of the Hunter Exam.
So he really is an important person.
No wonder...
Well, I'm the chairman, but I stay behind the scenes
and act as a troubleshooter at times like this.
Anyway, Miss Menchi...
Y-Yes!
Look, that Menchi is so nervous.
It proves how important that man is.
In other words, he is like a savior to us applicants.
You were trying to test their spirit
by challenging them to something unknown through cooking in Phase Two?
Exactly! That was my sole objective.
That's why I gave them a very difficult subject, but...
But?
Well, I...
You have evaluated them with that objective in mind
and you felt that every one of them had a problem with their attitude.
In other words, you concluded that no one was qualified to pass. Is that so?
No. Some applicants made light of cooking and I lost my head.
On top of that, there was another trouble
where all the applicants found out how to make the dish...
So I not only got even more upset, I became too full and...
In other words, you are fully aware that the applicants weren't tested thoroughly?
Yes. When it involves cooking, I tend to lose myself.
I am not fit to be a proctor. I'm sorry.
You are an honest young woman.
Certainly, as a proctor, I see some problems.
But it's understandable,
you being a Gourmet Hunter with the title of Single Star Hunter.
It's proof of your passion for cooking.
Mr. Chairman...
Let me propose this. We will administer another test.
And I want Miss Menchi to continue to be in charge of the evaluations.
However for this retest,
I want you to participate by giving a demonstration.
How about it?
That will make it easier for them to accpet your judgement.
I was really worried about what was going to happen to us.
But we're still going to be tested by our cooking ability.
We can't take it too easy.
We're going to have another test.
Yeah. Aren't you glad, Gon?
Yup!
That's the way it should be!
Anyway...
Yes?
What is the subject for the test, Miss Proctor?
Let me see...
All right... The subject is... a boiled egg!
Yippee!
Gee, that's...
A boiled egg.
Mr. Chairman, will you take us to that mountain?
I see. That can be arranged easily.
Now I'll do anything to pass the test.
Here we are.
Umm... Where the hell is this?
What is it like down there?
Don't worry.
There is a deep river down there.
Well, I'm going ahead.
She went down to get an egg of the Spider Eagle
which lives in this Split Mountain.
The Spider Eagle hangs its eggs on its strong web
to protect them from the land beasts living in the area.
Bring back one Spider Eagle's egg.
You are to make a boiled egg with this.
You have to be careful.
The river current below is very swift.
If you fall, you will be washed out straight to the sea kilometers away.
She says it as if it's easy,
but no one in his right mind would jump.
I'm glad.
I was waiting for something like this.
It's so much simpler than running or cooking a strange ethnic dish.
I agree with you...
I'm going ahead!
Me too.
Here I go!
How about the rest of you? Are you giving up?
It also takes courage to quit. There will be another Exam.
I'm going, too!
I got it!
What is it?!
Spider Eagles!
Help!
Gon!
Are you all right, Gon?
Yup. I'm all right!
That boy is very different.
This is not the first time, but you're too reckless!
I'm all right.
The hunt for the ingredient is over.
Show me the egg you've gotten.
Don't think ill of me. But the egg is mine.
Damn that bastard! I can't let him have it.
Don't worry.
It's strange.
Here! Look.
Why you! When did you...?
You're quite smart, kid.
Why did you go out to save Number 255 in the middle of the test?
Because... he said "help!"
What a straight answer.
You are so simple.
You did it, you! Take this!
It's too early to celebrate.
The test is not over yet.
You are going to make the boiled egg as assigned.
Let me remind you.
A boiled egg is a fine dish too.
The boiling time is the most essential point.
You can't just boil a Spider Eagle egg for the same time as an ordinary egg.
I don't have to tell you what will happen if you overboil it.
Naturally, a half boiled egg means you fail, too...
Isn't it about the time?
Nope. A little longer.
I don't even know the boiling time for an ordinary egg...
Ohh!
He just said "oh!"
That means...
Now's the time!
The egg's ready!
Hurry!
It's gonna get overcooked!
I got it!
Cripes! That was so obvious.
This is an ordinary egg. And, this is a Spider Eagle egg.
Taste them and compare them.
Delicious!
Yeah. It's no comparison to an ordinary egg.
I definitely prefer the Spider Eagle egg!
It's very rich and creamy, and melts in my mouth.
It tastes as though the life force of the Spider Eagle is still there.
Yeah. I've never tasted a boiled egg like this before!
It's truly worth risking one's life to hunt for it.
I can tell the difference! Unlike the moldy rice.
It wasn't mold. It was moss!
The horn moss! I told you it was a rare delicacy!
Mr. Todo, I'll give you half.
Y-Yeah.
D-Delicious. It's really delicious...!
I never imagined there could be anything so delicious in this world!
When you discover something exquisite that no one else has tasted before...
you experience overwhelming joy and emotion
which is no less than the feeling you get when
you capture a notorious criminal or discover a great treasure.
That's why we are proud of being Gourmet Hunters.
I'll come back again next year.
That's cool!
Well, I'm supposed to be a genius Gourmet Hunter, you know.
And I must prove I'm a good proctor as well.
Well then, Chairman Netero...
Yes.
Phase Two has 42 who passed!
Menchi's menu is over!
We did it!
We were able to complete Phase Two successfully.
It's all thanks to you, Mr. Chairman.
It seems there are many prospective rookies this year.
It's so exciting.
Yes. The Exam is just beginning.
I wonder how many of them will be left.
I can't take my eyes off of them.
Wow! I've never seen a night view from the sky!
Let's go exploring!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Exploration x Guts x Stowaway!
Killua, over there!
