Hunter: I’m Really Not a Mind Remover

In the first half of the second test, the number of candidates who passed the test was thirty-one.

Excluding Moyu, the actual number of people who passed was thirty.

Inside the warehouse.

Moyu put on the Nitro mask again and stood in a relatively peripheral position.

The other candidates stood in front of Menqi and Buhara, and among them Killua was the only one who was closer to Moyo.

However, after returning to the warehouse, Killua and the others did not take the initiative to talk to Moyu.

The reason is that Kurapika speculates that Moyu is most likely the hidden examiner responsible for this hunter test.

The basis for the speculation is simple——

They have learned Moyu's identity, and a star professional hunter will come to take the hunter test. In addition to serving as an examiner, are there any other possibilities?

Therefore, before the end of the second level test, Kurapika suggested not to get too close to Moyu for the time being, which may affect the credibility of the final test.

Menqi crossed Buhara and came to the front of many candidates.

"First of all, I am not as casual as Buhara, so you must be mentally prepared."

As he spoke, Menqi put one hand on his hip and the thumb of the other hand lightly touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

Almost all the candidates present were shocked when they saw Men Qi's expression.

Could it be that this female examiner hasn't thought about the test questions yet...? !

They were guessing in their minds.

This is also true. Menqi did not prepare the test questions in advance.

"Um……"

Menqi groaned. He originally thought about the nigiri sushi test question, but there are no sea fish here. If he asked this question rashly, it might embarrass his master.

That won't work!

Just like Nitro said about professional hunters serving as examiners...

Many professional hunters are always so willful in setting questions and usually do not consider fairness.

Pyoen was the leader in the past, and Menqi this time was not far behind.

Afraid of embarrassing Moyu, she was even thinking about how to reduce the difficulty of the test questions.

After thinking for about a minute, Menqi finally determined the test questions.

"In the second half of the second test, what I want to eat is..."

She looked at the candidates present and said seriously: "Tiger striped agouti cuisine."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the reactions of the candidates, he pulled out a small blackboard in the venue, and then used a pen to draw a swollen fish on the blackboard.

"This is my tip for you. In addition..."

Menqi showed a dangerous smile on his face, shook the pen in his hand, and reminded: "Tiger striped agouti contains lethal toxins, you must be careful."

"!!!"

Hearing Menqi's reminder, most of the candidates present showed a little surprise and looked at the outline of the pattern on the blackboard.

Among the candidates, a short young man carrying a bow and arrow moved slightly.

"Tiger-striped agouti... I'm lucky."

The boy's name is Bokuer, and he aspires to become a fantasy beast hunter. He knows a lot about various creatures, and the tiger-striped agouti is one of them. This is an obvious advantage for him.

Resisting the urge to run to the forest river, Baokuer hurriedly lowered his head, covering up the fleeting joy.

Understanding the tiger-striped agouti is his advantage in this test. If he can make good use of it, the probability of obtaining a hunter's license will be greatly improved.

For this reason, "information" must never be exposed.

Baokuer has already planned to go to a farther river to hunt tiger dolphins, and will not bring the tiger dolphins back to the warehouse for processing.

not far away.

Hanzo glanced meaningfully at Bakura, who lowered his head and said nothing.

The others didn't notice Bakugo's fleeting change of mood, but Hanzo did.

"It seems this kid also knows puffer fish..."

Hanzo's excitement decreased a lot.

Although he didn't recognize the name of the tiger-striped pufferfish, after seeing the prompt drawn by Menqi, he immediately realized that it should be a creature similar to the pufferfish.

At the edge of the crowd.

Moyou raised his hand to his chin and said to himself: "I thought Menqi would throw out impossible questions like sushi like in the original work..."

Moyu was a little surprised by Menqi's temporary change of formation, but he didn't pay too much attention.

"Listen, I only give you two hours."

Menqi looked around at the candidates and announced: "Then, the second half of the second test has officially begun!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the candidates present rushed to the door one after another.

Most of them didn't know what the tiger-striped agouti was, but according to the hints given by Menqi, they at least knew that it was a fish.

Soon, only Moyu and Bakuer were left in the warehouse.

"this person……"

Bakuer glanced at Moyu out of the corner of his eye, and immediately quickened his pace to leave.

Moyu didn't pay attention to Baokuer's actions. He lowered his head and thought about it, and decided to take part in the test questions given by Menqi.

So he followed Bakuer towards the door.

This unintentional move aroused Bakuer's vigilance.

"Damn it, did he notice it?"

Bakuer walked in front, his expression slightly solemn.

at the same time.

Among the woods leading to the river.

"Tiger puffback is a kind of fish. Judging from the name, tiger puffback should have characteristics similar to black and yellow markings on its body, and we should pay attention to its toxins."

Kurapika opened his mouth to remind Gon and the others.

With the rough outline drawn by Menqi and the characteristics of tiger stripes, it should not be difficult to find the tiger striped agouti.

What is worth noting is the deadly venom of the tiger-striped agouti.

"It would be nice if that fat guy was here."

Leorio suddenly thought of the oily fat man who came to take the test with a computer in his arms.

With his help, we should be able to find pictures of tiger-striped agouti directly.

It's a pity that the little fat man couldn't cross the Shimeile Wetland.

Following many tips given by Menqi, thirty candidates began to search for traces of tiger-striped agouti in various rivers.

Moyu joined in the fun, walking alone along a river.

As for Baokuer, who left the warehouse before him, he no longer knew where he had gone.

Half an hour passed.

Candidates returned to the warehouse one after another, carrying several fish that they thought were tiger-striped agouti.

As soon as they entered the warehouse, they hurried to the kitchen counter and began to process the fish they had hunted.

Menqi and Buhara watched how they handled the ingredients.

Is the fish actually a tiger-striped agouti, and is there something wrong with the way it was handled...

Menqi will not give any warning, let alone reveal the slightest clue in his words and deeds.

But it’s hard to say about Buhara.

He looked at the way these candidates handled the ingredients and couldn't help but shake his head.

The edible parts of the tiger dolphin are limited to the fish meat, and all other parts contain toxins.

Needless to say, the liver is the site with the most toxins. Even the skin, which is easily ignored, also contains toxins.

so--

As long as candidates are not meticulous enough in the processing stage, they are wasting time from the beginning and are on the verge of being eliminated.

Because Menqi will not take the initiative to remind him during this process.

When the examinee brings the hard-finished dishes to the table, what awaits him is an examiner who can't even move his chopsticks.

"Why did the big examiner shake his head and sigh? Wasn't the fish I caught a tiger-striped agouti?!"

Some candidates noticed Buhara's expression and couldn't help but feel surprised.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to trust his judgment, left the half-processed fish, turned around and ran out of the warehouse.

"Menqi, this candidate is pretty good. He can detect problems when handling ingredients."

Buhara watched the candidate running out of the venue and couldn't help but praise him.

Hearing this, Men Qi was silent for a moment, and then sighed.

She did not point out the problem, but acquiesced to Bhallana's unintentional reminder.

After all, there are only thirty candidates left. If she is too harsh, the master in charge of the third test will be lonely.

It all comes down to that guy with a strong murderous intent...

Otherwise, there would have to be at least nearly a hundred candidates when they got to her.

But that guy didn't come to the meeting, so he must have been dealt with by the master.

Thinking of this, Menqi leaned on the sofa, looking particularly relaxed.

as time flows--

There were no candidates serving food in the venue.

When there was only an hour left, someone finally brought out a basin of fish soup and walked quickly towards Menqi, who had been waiting for a long time.

That person was Bakuer.

His actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"It's that kid..."

"whispering sound."

"Looking at his confident look, I really want to punch him."

The candidates looked at Baku who was the first to attack, and murmured in front of their respective kitchen counters.

As early as twenty minutes ago, they saw Bakuer returning to the warehouse carrying several pieces of blood-stained fish meat.

From this, it can be seen that Bakuer knew about the tiger-striped pufferfish, and in order to prevent them from taking advantage, he actually dealt with the tiger-striped pufferfish outside first.

This is why the candidates are very unhappy with Bakuer.

One of the kitchen counters.

Moyu was working hard, slowly pulling out the thorns from the tiger striped agouti, and at the same time looking at Bakuer who was holding the fish soup.

Just now he also saw Baokuer returning to the warehouse with fish and meat.

The operation of handling the tiger-spined puffer fish outside shows the scheming and meticulousness of Bakuer.

I just don’t know…

The blood on the fish was not removed, was this done accidentally or deliberately?

If it was done deliberately, then Baokuer was quite thoughtful and knew how to hide information while also stumbling upon his competitors.

Under the gaze of many eyes, Baokuer placed the cooked fish soup in front of Menqi's dining table.

"It's already served."

Menqi glanced at Bakuer who was full of confidence.

She had just paid a little attention to the process of Baokuer cooking fish soup.

When I saw that Baokuer carefully washed off the blood on the fish meat, and also specifically removed the fish meat that had some blood streaks, I knew that Baokuer knew how to properly handle the tiger striped agouti.

This gave her something to look forward to.

He looked away and picked up a small piece of fish with his chopsticks.

The moment the chopsticks touched the fish, Menqi knew that the heat was too high. He took the fish into his mouth and chewed it a few times, frowning slightly.

"Unqualified, redo."

Menqi declared without hesitation.

"ah?"

Bakura was stunned.

Menqi put down his chopsticks and said expressionlessly: "Do you want me to say it again?"

"No, no need."

Facing Menqi's fierce aura, Baokuer dared not protest and ran back to the kitchen counter in despair.

The candidates in the field all sneered when they saw that Baokuer had a bad start.

In the next ten minutes, more candidates presented dishes one after another, but none of them satisfied Menqi.

"This is not a tiger-striped agouti, take it away."

"Are you an idiot? You don't even know how to deal with internal organs?!"

"It doesn't taste good, make it again."

Menqi persuaded the candidates who were serving food one after another at a very fast rate.

Even the agouti nigiri sushi made by Hanzo was rejected by Menqi due to taste issues.

Buhara looked on and broke into a cold sweat.

From the examiner's point of view, the ultimate purpose of the test is not simply to pursue delicious food, but to test the candidates' ability to observe and act when dealing with unknown things.

But Menqi obviously viewed this test from the perspective of a food hunter.

In this case--

Unless the candidate has cooking skills above the national level, don't expect to pass Menqi's level.

There is still half an hour before the end of the test, and no candidate can make Menqi say it tastes delicious.

At this time, Moyu finally finished processing the tiger-striped agouti, leaving only a palm-sized piece of fish meat.

Picking up the knife, Moyu cut the fish on the cutting board into thin slices, and then laid them on the ice tray.

Because Menqi had already prepared his own dipping sauce, Moyu saved a lot of effort and directly brought the agouti meat sashimi to Menqi.

Menqi resisted the urge to say hello to her master, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

"Well... this seems to be the first time I've eaten Master's cooking."

Feeling the chewiness and sweetness from the sashimi, Menqi slowly closed his eyes, showing an expression of enjoyment.

Inside the venue.

The candidates who noticed this scene all had dull expressions on their faces.

The dishes we racked our brains and used various cooking techniques were rejected by you, the examiner!

Now I just ate a piece of fish without any processing, and showed such an expression of enjoyment? !

Shady! ! !

The candidates slowly widened their eyes.

Under their gaze, Menqi announced that Moyu had become the first candidate to pass the second test.

"Are you kidding me... I put a lot of effort into seasoning the grilled fish, but he just cut off a piece of fish to satisfy you?! Why?!"

A tall samurai man with a sword hanging from his waist had a cold expression on his face, clearly unconvinced.

"That's right, why?!"

“There’s also a backdoor for the hunter test, right?”

Other candidates cheered one after another, while some chose to wait and see.

Faced with the protests of these candidates, Menqi said expressionlessly: "As long as you have any brains, you should find out the problem from the difference between the two, instead of complaining about your own incompetence here."

"Um?"

A trace of murderous intent flashed in the warrior man's eyes.

Other candidates who were watching the show were inspired by Menqi's words and began to imitate Moyu's sashimi technique.

In less than half a minute, the samurai man saw with astonishment the bald ninja Hanzo serving up a plate of sashimi like flying.

Menqi first finished the sashimi made by Moyu, and then tasted a piece of sashimi made by Hanzo.

"Pass."

Putting down his chopsticks, Menqi announced that Hanzo had become the second candidate to pass.

Seeing this scene, the candidates had no time to delve into the so-called shady issues and speed up the production.

"Pass."

"Pass the test..."

After Moyu served the sashimi, Menqi seemed to be a different person, giving every candidate who learned from the practice a ticket to the next level of the test.

Buhara looked at Menqi who had changed so much in surprise and couldn't understand what was going on.

In fact, Menqi took Moyu's act of serving food as a signal, so he relaxed the eligibility criteria.

Soon, the second half of the second level test came to a successful conclusion.

"The number of qualified people is twenty-four, congratulations."

Menqi looked at the twenty-five people in the venue with his hands on his hips, thinking that if he hadn't thought about Master, none of you would have passed today!

Bakuer hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aren't there twenty-five people?"

The candidates nearby heard what Baokuer said and looked at Menqi one after another.

Menqi did not speak.

"Because I'm not a candidate."

Moyou spoke up at the right time to help Menqi answer Baokuer's question, and what he said instantly attracted the attention of those candidates.

Facing everyone's gaze, Moyu took off his silicone mask and said calmly: "I am the examiner of the third level test, Moyu Isaac."

"What!?"

Except for Hisoka and the others, all the candidates present, including Peng Siba Ku'er, looked shocked, unable to digest this sudden and heavy news for a while.

Hanzo was so shocked that his mouth opened wide at first, but the next second he quickly put on an "I knew it" look.

"What, it turns out you didn't notice it?"

Hanzo crossed his arms, and his calm expression was in obvious contrast with the shock of those around him, such as Peng Sibakuer and others.

"..."

Everyone in the venue looked at Hanzo and fell silent for a moment.

Just then, a man with heavy dark circles under his eyes walked out.

"You're welcome to take the photo just now."

The man holds up a photo.

In the photo was a stunned crowd, including Hanzo with his mouth wide open in shock.

"..."

There was silence again in the venue, except that the examinees looked at Hanzo strangely.

The corner of Hanzo's mouth twitched.

Why would any candidate take a Polaroid to take the test, and how bored would they be to take photos under such circumstances?

Facing the strange looks from all directions, Hanzo wanted to dig a hole again.

"It seems that you discovered Moyu's identity as an examiner 'five seconds ago'."

Killua's words came lightly from the crowd, but they were stuck in Hanzo's head like several sharp swords.

Hanzo regretted it.

If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have been pretentious!

He followed the sound and happened to receive the disdainful looks from Kurapika and others.

"..."

In the wordless silence, Hanzo swore loudly in his heart that he would definitely keep a low profile from now on!

Moyu looked at Hanzo who was a little embarrassed, shook his head and laughed.

Twenty-four people...

As far as the number of people is concerned, it's not that many.

So should we use a scoring system to directly eliminate half of them?

In this way, the third level test can be completed at the speed of light.

Moyu's eyes showed contemplation.

Buzz——

The phone in his pocket vibrated, interrupting Moyu's thoughts.

Moyo took out his cell phone and saw that it was a text message from Nitro.

"disagree."

"..."
