----------------------------------------------------------
Hunting spider-vulture eggs was an extremely dangerous activity. The canyon was very high, and at the bottom was a turbulent river. Falling into it would mean being swept thousands of meters out to sea, and one might never return. If you couldn't swim, it was not impossible to drown.
To prove it was possible, Menchi took off her shoes and socks and jumped down first as a demonstration. As she free-fell, she adjusted her body, grabbed onto a spider-vulture's silk, which was very tough and easily held her from the impact of the fall. Menchi then climbed down, picked up a spider-vulture egg, and climbed back up the cliff.
This step scared away many of the examinees. But more of them, unafraid of the danger, went up against the challenge and jumped down one after another. The protagonists were the first to jump.
Emiya, using his Nen, dragged himself down, floating gently. After getting an egg, he flew back up, completing the task in the fastest time. By the time he was back, Gon and his friends were still climbing the cliff.
Menchi was also startled by Emiya's actions. "You can fly? How did you do that?"
Emiya smiled. "Do you want to know?"
Menchi nodded quickly.
Emiya put a finger to his mouth and said, "It's a secret."
Menchi immediately realized she was being played and said, "You're a real jerk, aren't you?"
Netero's attention was drawn to them. He looked at Emiya intently, a hint of surprise in his eyes, as he realized Emiya was not a Nen user. It was very strange for someone who wasn't a Nen user to be able to fly.
And besides him, there was the martial artist with a pure fighting spirit, and... Netero's gaze fell on Issho. This blindfolded middle-aged man was also not a Nen user, but his life force was as strong as a monster's. Netero had never met a human with such a powerful life force, not even himself. What was even more exaggerated was that Netero felt a lethal danger from him. If they were to fight, Netero wasn't sure he could win.
This made Netero's long-dormant fighting spirit boil. He had been at the top of the world for too long and had met many excellent up-and-coming talents. But none of them had given him such a feeling of lethal danger.
But this blindfolded middle-aged man had done it. Netero wanted to find a secluded place and have a good fight with him, even if it meant risking his life. As a martial artist, he would rather die on the battlefield than die of old age in bed.
However... it was not the time yet. He had to preside over the Hunter Exam. He was patient and willing to wait. It was not too late to have a life-or-death battle with the man after the exam was over.
Issho sensed Netero's fighting intent and gave him a slight nod before jumping off the edge of the canyon. He was going to hunt for spider-vulture eggs.
Before long, the second phase of the Hunter Exam ended. In the original story, there were a total of forty-two people who passed. This time, with Emiya and his companions, there should have been forty-eight people in total, but in reality, the final number of passing candidates was fifty. Two more than in the original story. It was probably because the story was affected a little. Of course, this was not a big deal.
After the second phase of the exam, everyone boarded the Hunter Association's airship again to head to the next location. At the same time, Netero gave a simple self-introduction. The secretary, Beanish, told everyone that they would arrive at the next exam location at 8:00 a.m. the next morning. Until then, everyone was free to do as they pleased on the airship.
Afterward, Beanish announced that they were dismissed.
Hayato Fūrinji looked up and met Netero's gaze. Netero let out a hearty laugh, walked over, and asked, "If you're not tired, would you like to have a match?"
"Of course," Hayato Fūrinji replied.
Sakaki Shio and Shigure Kōzaka walked over. "Oh, you two old men are going to fight? Are we allowed to watch?" Sakaki Shio didn't want to miss a top-tier battle like this.
Shigure Kōzaka bowed and said, "I'd also like to watch."
Netero laughed. "If you're just watching, I don't mind. I don't know if my friend here is willing."
Hayato Fūrinji shook his head. "I have no objections." He was not a hundred and twenty years old, so he couldn't refute Netero calling him 'friend.'
Issho heard their conversation and couldn't help but walk over. "Gentlemen, would you allow me to watch?"
Neither of them had any objections.
Emiya, on the other hand, had no interest in a battle between two old men, even a top-tier one. If it were a battle between two beautiful women, Emiya might be interested.
"You guys go ahead. I'm going to look around somewhere else."
Robin walked over to Emiya with a graceful stride and said with a smile, "Perfect. I'm not interested in battles either. I'll go with you."
The two of them then turned and left.
The Hunter Association's airship was huge, with a restaurant, corridors, observation decks, entertainment rooms, and rest areas. But there were clearly not enough rest areas for all fifty examinees. So most of the examinees sat on the floor in the spacious hall, and many even leaned against the walls and fell asleep.
Today's exam had a hundred-kilometer underground tunnel, then the Numere Wetlands, then roasting pigs, and then jumping off a cliff... Many of the examinees were already exhausted. As soon as they relaxed, they fell into a deep sleep. There were also a few people who were full of energy and were not sleepy at all. But many still fell asleep to rest and prepare for the exam the next morning.
Emiya and Robin walked around the airship and came to the restaurant, where they happened to meet the examiners from the first two phases, Satotz, Menchi, and Buhara. The three of them had also come to the restaurant for a meal.
When Menchi saw Emiya, she clicked her tongue, seemingly upset that Emiya had played a trick on her earlier.
Emiya, on the other hand, chuckled. "Don't hold a grudge. You failed me for my sushi, and I played a trick on you. We're even now."
Menchi crossed her arms, snorted, and said, "I have nothing to say to you."
"How about I treat you to a meal?" Emiya said. "I guarantee it's something you've never had before."
Menchi looked Emiya up and down. His hands were empty, but he seemed sincere. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to treat me to?" As a Gourmet Hunter, she had an extraordinary pursuit of good food. If Emiya could really treat her to something she had never tasted before, she might forgive him.
"This." Emiya held out his hand, and a smoked lizard hamburger steak suddenly appeared in it.
"A hamburger? Where did you get that from?"
Menchi walked around Emiya several times but couldn't figure out where he had gotten the hamburger from. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Buhara and Satotz exchanged glances. They also couldn't figure out how the hamburger had appeared.
Emiya waved his hand. "Don't bother looking. I created this."
"You created it?" Menchi reacted instantly. "You're a Nen user with a specialization ability?" She was hesitant. The things that Nen users with specialization abilities create have special effects. It might look like food on the outside, but it could be something else, like a drug.
"It's not a specialization ability. It's just a small trick. Don't worry, this is real food, and it has nothing to do with Nen. Are you scared?" Emiya saw what Menchi was thinking but didn't laugh at her. If a stranger gave Emiya a meal, he would also refuse. It was a basic precaution. After all, Menchi didn't know about Emiya's background or abilities.
"Who said I was scared?" Menchi felt underestimated and snatched the hamburger from Emiya's hand. She examined it and found that it was indeed real food and not something a Nen user had created. And they were on the Hunter Association's airship, with Chairman Netero on board. If this guy dared to play a trick, he would not be able to leave here alive. So she took a bite.
"It's... delicious!" Menchi had eaten countless hamburgers, but she had never eaten one with this kind of flavor and texture. It was simply amazing.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"Guess?"
"Hmm, it tastes a little like lizard meat, but lizards aren't this chewy."
Emiya couldn't help but be impressed with Menchi. She was a true Gourmet Hunter. "It is lizard meat, but it's not a kind of lizard you've ever seen." After all, this was lizard meat from another world.
Buhara saw how much Menchi was enjoying it and couldn't help but drool. He looked at Emiya with a longing expression. "Can I have a taste too?"
Emiya nodded and created a few more, one for Buhara, one for Satotz, and one for Robin.
"Thank you," Robin said, taking the smoked lizard hamburger steak and eating it one bite at a time.
"Do you have any more? Give me another one," Menchi said, reaching out again after finishing her hamburger steak.
