Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring...
At that moment, a loud ringing sound suddenly rang out, interrupting the conversations.
Emiya looked up and saw examiner Satotz holding a strange alarm clock, standing high above and looking down at all the examinees.
After the ringing sound had attracted everyone's attention, examiner Satotz turned off the alarm clock and said softly, "That ringing sound just now means that the registration time is over. I now announce that the Hunter Exam has officially begun."
He jumped down from the high pipe and pointed to the depths of the tunnel where the exit couldn't be seen. "Please come this way."
Then, he began to walk forward, and all the examinees followed behind him.
Of course, this included Emiya and his group.
As he walked, Satotz said, "First, I'd like to state that the Hunter Exam is extremely rigorous. Those who are unlucky or lack strength may be killed or injured. And it's not uncommon for conflicts to arise between applicants, leading to situations where they can never recover..."
He was talking about a moment ago when a unlucky guy bumped into Hisoka, and the unlucky guy didn't say sorry.
After all, most of the people who came here were very capable and were bound to be a little arrogant. They usually wouldn't apologize after bumping into someone, as it would make them look too weak and be looked down upon by others.
But the reason Emiya said he was unlucky was that he bumped into the freak, Hisoka.
Among all the examinees, Hisoka was definitely the most dangerous one.
So Hisoka cut off the guy's two arms, preventing him from ever recovering.
When Emiya saw this, he didn't stop it. Although Hisoka was cruel, the guy whose arms were cut off was not a good person either.
He was a little kind, but he wasn't a saint. That guy was not a relative or a friend, so of course, Emiya wouldn't meddle in someone else's business.
Satotz said this in an attempt to scare a few people away, but those who had made it this far were mostly people who had confidence in themselves.
Of course, they wouldn't be scared off by a few words.
"If there are no problems, please follow me." After confirming that no one was scared away, the examiner stopped talking nonsense and led the way.
Everyone followed closely behind him.
However, as time went on, Satotz's speed became faster and faster, and he quickly left the examinees behind.
The examinees, of course, couldn't let the examiner leave them behind, so they all sped up.
Emiya created an electric scooter and rode on it. As soon as he sat down, Robin unceremoniously came over and sat behind Emiya, smiling.
"Do you mind giving a beautiful lady a ride?"
"Of course not. Please hold on tight, my beautiful lady." Emiya smiled and rode the scooter to catch up with the examiner.
Examiner Satotz looked at Emiya in surprise but didn't say that Emiya was cheating. In his opinion, no matter what method was used, as long as they could keep up with him, it wasn't cheating.
Satotz looked away and, while running, said, "I haven't introduced myself to everyone. I am Satotz, the examiner for the first stage. I will lead everyone to the venue for the second stage."
A bald man couldn't help but ask, "The second venue? What about the first test?"
Satotz turned his head and smiled. "Those who can follow me to the second venue will have passed the first test. I won't reveal the location of the test or the arrival time. You just need to follow me."
Emiya had already known this when he watched the plot.
So he wasn't surprised.
In his opinion, the first test was undoubtedly the simplest one of the Hunter Exam. They wouldn't encounter danger or die. If they fell behind, they could just go back and try again next year.
The tests from the second stage onwards would increase in danger, and a moment of carelessness could lead to death.
Sakaki was following Emiya and looked at him riding the electric scooter. He said with envy, "What a convenient ability."
Emiya retorted, "Do you want me to get one for you?"
"No thanks. If the Hunter Exam is just about running, it won't be a problem for me," Sakaki said easily.
He had abundant stamina and a special technique to restore his energy. Running for an hour, or even seven or eight hours, would not cause him to collapse.
Soon, an hour passed, then two hours... and no one was out yet.
The examinees who passed the preliminary selection were all outstanding, so it was normal for them to have this kind of stamina.
But this was only the beginning.
Soon, another two hours passed, and there were still no dropouts. Everyone was desperately trying to keep up with the group, unwilling to be completely eliminated.
Emiya's group also maintained a certain speed, following behind the examiner.
Robin, who was sitting behind Emiya, looked at the time and said, "It's been four hours. Are we still not at the end? How long is this tunnel?"
Emiya said, "This tunnel is very long, long enough to make a group of examinees despair, and there's something even more despairing up ahead."
Robin couldn't help but look at Emiya. "I feel like you know a lot about this exam."
"Sort of," Emiya said with a smile.
After another two hours, the examinees had run about 80 kilometers. After a turn, the long tunnel finally changed. It was no longer an endless road.
It was a flight of stairs that seemed to have no end.
When they saw the stairs, many examinees who were already running with an irregular heart rate showed a look of disbelief.
The main reason was that the stairs were too high, so high that it made them want to give up just by looking at them.
Emiya's electric scooter, of course, couldn't go on, so he gave it up and used Nen to lift himself and Robin, and they flew.
Because the stairs had no forks from the bottom to the top, Emiya and Robin passed the examiner in an instant.
"We'll be going ahead."
With that, he and Robin disappeared from the examiner's sight in the blink of an eye.
Examiner Satotz looked at Emiya's back, and his pupils constricted a few times. "Flying? What kind of Nen ability is this?"
He had never seen a human who could fly.
Although modern humans can now conquer the sky with various means of transportation, flying without any tools is still a dream for countless people.
To be honest, he had seen many Nen ability users, but he had never seen one who could fly.
It seems that this year's exam is more interesting than usual.
Not long after, Emiya and Robin reached the exit.
What appeared before them was a foggy wetland.
"What is this place?" Robin asked curiously.
"This is the only way to the second test venue, the Milsy Wetlands, also known as the Swindler's Swamp. Many strange and exotic beasts that you can't see on the outside live here."
"Then why is it called the Swindler's Swamp?"
"Because many of the strange and exotic beasts that live here are cunning creatures that can deceive humans and eat them. Many humans are deceived by them and lose their lives."
"I see, so that's what it is," Robin said with a sudden realization.
"But there are also a lot of good things in there. Let's go check it out." Emiya, being bold, didn't wait for the examiner to arrive and led Robin into the Swindler's Swamp.
Robin asked, "What good things are in here?"
"You'll find out soon."
After the two of them entered the wetlands, the surrounding fog quickly clouded their vision, but since both of them had Observation Haki, the thick fog couldn't stop them from sensing their surroundings.
Soon, Emiya found his target.
"Let's go." He led Robin forward and soon saw a giant turtle.
On the turtle's shell, there were human-shaped strawberries.
"What is that?"
"One of the specialties of the wetlands, the Man-Eating Turtle. It only moves in the fog and uses the human-shaped strawberries on its back to attract passersby, then eats them."
As Emiya spoke, a hand made of Nen flew over, grabbed a few giant strawberries, and flew back.
These strawberries were about the size of a human head and looked extremely delicious.
Emiya gave one to Robin. "Try it. It should taste good."
Robin took the strawberry and pointed at the Man-Eating Turtle crawling towards them. "Before you eat, you should take care of this first."
"No problem." Emiya's Nen flew out and flipped the Man-Eating Turtle onto its back. With its four limbs up in the air, the Man-Eating Turtle had no way to attack Emiya and Robin.
Emiya used his Nen to cut the strawberry in his hand into a dozen pieces of varying sizes, picked up one, and put it in his mouth.
Sweet!
This was Emiya's first feeling, but there was also a hint of sourness within the sweetness. The two flavors blended perfectly, making it taste better than any strawberry Emiya had ever eaten before.
Just as Emiya had imagined, the Man-Eating Turtle was a strange and exotic beast, so the strawberries on its back were naturally a rare species.
If it were in the world of Toriko, the Man-Eating Turtle would be a food ingredient with a capture level of two or higher.
"You try it." Emiya gave Robin a piece.
Robin took a bite and nodded. "It really is delicious."
After the two of them finished the strawberry, Emiya found a few more Man-Eating Turtles, picked all the strawberries from their backs, went back to the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? world, and gave them to Erina Nakiri.
Afterward, Emiya returned to the wetlands to continue searching for other delicacies.
In the original plot, the dangerous animals that appeared in the wetlands, besides the Man-Eating Turtle, included the Human-Faced Apes, the Waiting Giant Frogs, the Hypnotic Butterflies, the Landmine Mushrooms, the Lying Crows, and so on.
But a giant wetland couldn't possibly have only these few dangerous creatures.
While Emiya was wandering in the wetlands, he saw many dangerous animals that hadn't appeared in the plot.
The one that left the deepest impression on Emiya was a venomous snake. This snake could change the color of its body like a chameleon and could even hide its life aura.
When Emiya saw the guy, he thought it was just an ordinary tree branch. He walked past it casually, and the guy suddenly launched an attack from behind Emiya.
