Scarlet Eyes
Chapter 10
Hikari's POV
I do have more libraries in the different compartment that has the families I belong to but only I can read those books. There are 14 compartments in my trunk.
There is the Potter compartment, Black compartment, Ravenclaw compartment, Gryffindor compartment, Le Fay compartment, Ambrosia compartment, Peverell compartment and the Kurta compartment.
Inside of each of my family compartment, there is a library with all the family books. There is also a trunk inside each library that holds the amount of money that I have per family.
The Kurta compartment is a little different. There is a library with all the different books that the clan had. Of course, they are copies of the originals. There is also a fridge in one of the corners that hold 10 pairs of the Kurta's eyes that I managed to steal back.
There is the public library that holds the entire recipe books that I have and both nonfiction and fictions books that I had in my previous life and this life. In the library also hold all the photo albums showing my previous life and all the fun times that I had.
There is a weapon compartment. This holds all the different weapons from all of my families. When going inside the compartment all the weapons are hanging on the wall or are inside some cabinets. All weapons have runes on them that stops them from rusting and going blunt.
There is a household items compartment. This holds all of the furniture that was inside all of my properties that I had for each of my families. Again there is a rune on every item to make sure they don't wear and tear or go rusty.
The next compartment has all the different herbs, grasses, and plants that can be used for cooking or medicine. There is also plenty of medicine for every sickness that I could think off and a first aid kit if we need one. Of course, there is a lot of the potions that I made and plenty of the ingredients to make more if I run out.
The next compartment is a pantry. This holds a lot of different ingredients. This ranges from baking to cooking. All different meats, pasta, and vegetables. Again these have runes on them to make them stay fresh no matter how much time they are left in my trunk.
The last compartment is the Wardrobe compartment. This compartment holds all of my clothes in this life and my previous. There are also five different trunks on the left side of the one. The first trunks hold all items belonging to my mom Lily. The second hold all items belonging to me dad James. The third hold all items belonging to Sirius and the four hold all items belonging to Remus. The last trunk holds all the other treasure that belonged to all the different families I belong to. Of course, the trunk is labeled by the family name. The three items belong to the deathly hallow are hidden in this section in the back of the wardrobe in a box that only I can open.
I might as well eat my portion of the food while waiting for Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio to appear.
Ahh, here they come finally.
"Oh, my. They caught a lot."
Satotz's POV
This year's applicants are very talented. However, the difficult part is yet to come. Number 406 has already managed to pass the test.
Hikari's POV
I don't think anyone apart from me is going to pass Menchi's test. They aren't putting any effort in it. They need to make sure it is cooked properly as well as making sure that is taste delicious. They are only thinking about the appearance.
"How do you like my cooking?"
"Is this supposed to be a kiddy meal?!"
"I'm next!"
"It's basically the same thing!"
"I am next! Please judge my creation."
"Finally, something that resembles an actual dish..."
Kurapika has changed the appearance but has he remembered to make sure it tastes alright?
"Yuck! Appearance is important but only if it also tastes good. You're no better than #403!"
"Too bad!"
"No better than #403..."
Killua's POV
Where is Hikari-Nee? I haven't seen her since earlier. Ahh, there she is.
"Hikari-Nee? What are you doing?"
"Killua? I'm eating my portion of food that I cooked. I have a portion for you, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio to eat. I bet you're hungry."
She cooks us some food? Gon said she can cook. I take the plate that she hands me and takes a bite. This is delicious. If she is this good, then she should be able to bake as well.
The food off my plate was soon gone. Ahh, I'm full,
"Killua, can you take the other three plates to Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio? Bring the plates back when they are done. I'll need to wash them up and pack them away,"
"Sure"
Hikari's POV
I watch as Killua takes the plates to them. As soon as they have one bite it's not long before the rest of the food is gone. They all enjoyed it then. I must cook for them more if I have a chance to during the other Phases of the Hunter Exam. Killua brings the three plates back to me so I quickly wash them up and put them back inside the kitchen I used.
I came back outside to see that Menchi hasn't passed anyone but me but Buhara ate everything that was presented. How is he able to eat more than should be able? How strange.
"That was so much food, I'm stuffed!"
"Yeah, I'm stuffed, too. Therefore, no one passes except from #406. We're finished here!"
"It's over?"
"What the hell?"
Satotz's POV
As I expected, she's lapsed back into her old bad habits.
Hikari's POV
"One person passed?"
"Are you serious?"
"Does she really mean it?"
"The exam is over?"
It's their own fault for making fun out of cooking and making Menchi-San make the exam harder than it should have been. There is a crash and I can see that #255 has broken one of the cooking stations.
"I won't accept it...I absolutely refuse to accept this!"
"In the end, you've still failed,"
"Stop screwing around! You asked for pork, so we risked out lives to-"
"I said to prepare the pork in a manner we both found delicious...only one of you made anything remotely delicious. You all did almost the same thing. There was no effort made...Just when I thought someone else actually tried, they only changed the appearance. Only one of you attempted to emphasize the flavor. I'm positive the rest of you didn't take cooking seriously!"
"Pork dishes are all the same..."
Ahh, Menchi-San is getting angrier because of their responses. This isn't good.
"Just say that once more. Any more crap from you, and I'll shove my arm up your ass and knock your teeth out! Don't mess with me. I don't want any lip from a bunch of amateurs who can't even roast a pig! Hey! What did you just say? Why don't you repeat it to my face?!"
Buhara's POV
There's Menchi's bad habit again...After all, only a handful of chefs in the world can satisfy Menchi.
Hikari's POV
"In other words, you people don't have the guts to try anything new."
"Shut up! I'm not trying to become a cook or a gourmet...I want to be a Hunter."
"Yeah! Yeah!"
"My goal is to become a Black List Hunter. I refuse to let a mere Gourmet Hunter decide my fate! "
"Too bad you got stuck with a mere Gourmet Hunter as an examiner...Better luck next year?"
#255 goes to attack Menchi-San but I doubt he will manage to touch her. She is still a Hunter.
"Don't mock me!"
Buhara-San sends him flying towards the gate. That should keep #255 quiet.
"Buhara, don't interfere."
"Well...If I hadn't intervened, you'd have killed him, right?"
"Probably. Let me clarify this...We frequently venture into the dens of ferocious beasts, searching for ingredients. Every Hunter knows some form of martial art. You lack focus and the willingness to experiment. That alone disqualifies you from becoming Hunters!"
"That said it would be excessive to fail all but one applicant."
An airship? With the symbol for the Hunters Association! Who came to calm Menchi-San down?
"That's the symbol of the Hunters Association! Is it someone from the Selection Committee?"
An old man jumped from the airship and left a big hole in the ground. He has a ponytail, a thick beard, and stretches earlobes with two piercings in both ears. He is wearing a traditional man's kimono in white and blue and a pair of Geta with one tooth. Who is he?
"Wh-Who's that geezer?"
"The Chairman of the Selection Committee. He's in charge of the Hunter Exam...Chairman Netero."
"Well, I work behind the scenes. I only take action when there's an issue, like now. So, Menchi-kun..."
"Yes, Sir"
"You failed all but one applicant because you disapproved of their reluctance to try new things?"
"No, Sir. I lose my cool when one of the candidates insulted Gourmet Hunters. And I made the exam harder than necessary."
"In other words, you're aware that this exam was unacceptable."
"Yes, sir. When cooking is involved, I lose control. I'm unqualified to be an examiner. I will resign as an examiner, so please redo the Second Phase!"
"But it would be difficult to find another examiner on such short notice."
"I apologize..."
"Very well, How about this? I'd like you to continue serving as an examiner. But you must also participate in the new test you propose. Is that acceptable? I'm certain that will help the applicants to accept the results. "
"That's true...Then the new challenge will be... boiled eggs!"
"Boiled eggs?!"
"Chairman, can you take us to Mt. Split-in-Half in your airship?"
"Mt. Split-in-Half? I see what you're doing. Certainly, I can."
The mountain sure is big. It won't be normal eggs. So what type of egg is here? Webs?
"Now, everyone...Look down there."
"Wh-What is that?"
"A Spider Eagles' web."
"They build webs down there?"
That is a strong updraft.
"Look below the web."
"Those are..."
"Those are Spider Eagle eggs."
"Spider Eagles build their webs in deep ravines, to protect their eggs from predators. This makes their eggs one of the most difficult ingredients to obtain, the eggs are also known as dream eggs."
"W-Wait a minute...You don't mean we..."
"I sure do."
"What?"
Ahh, I see. This looks fun. Menchi-San just jumped off the edge and landed on the webs below
"Even if she can grab some eggs, how will she climb back up?"
Menchi-San lets go of the web she was holding and got one of the eggs.
"Hey...She jumped down! Is she trying to kill herself?"
"No, she's not."
"Huh?"
Ahh, here she comes. The wind carries her back up. That looks fun. I wonder if I can manage to get a few. I could use them in some of my cooking that I do.
"That looks fun..."
"This ravine has updrafts that help the hatched chicks fly up to the web."
"There. Now I just need to boil the egg."
"Y-You must be joking, No reasonable person would jump down there..."
"I've been waiting for this!"
"Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio, try and get more than one, please. I can use them when I manage to do some more cooking. I wonder if the dishes I make will taste different."
"Yes, Hikari-Nee"
The five of us jump down straight away. This looks so fun. One of the applicants let go but he was too early.
"Let's go"
"Not yet."
"Why not?"
"There's no wind."
"There isn't always an updraft."
"When's the next one?"
"Wait"
The web is starting to snap due to the weight of the people.
"What?"
"The Web won't hold us all!"
"Gon, not yet?"
Three other applicants let go and they fall into the ravine.
"It's gonna snap!"
"Now!"
We all let go of the web and get the eggs we need. I managed to get five eggs. A chance to experiment with them.
"And the rest of you? I guess you quit."
"It takes courage to concede, too."
"Here you go, Hikari-Nee!"
"Ahh, thank you Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio."
They all managed to get an extra egg each. So I know have 8 eggs to experiment with. Lucky. I take the eggs off them but not before kissing Kurapika on the cheek. It is our way of showing our thanks after all.
Everyone else was boiling their eggs and Gon was looking after mine for me, I add a rune to each of the eggs. Hopefully, no one is watching. Not like they would be able to understand what I am doing. I pop out my trunk and place the egg in the Kitchen compartment in the fridge to keep them cool.
Gon comes running up to me with my egg. This egg is way better than the one I get from the store on Whale Island.
"I can see why they're called dream eggs."
"Hey, Todo-san. Would you like a bite?"
"It's delicious..."
"Now you've experienced the joy of discovering how good something can taste. We're risking our lives for that joy."
"I was completely outclassed this year. I'll be back next year!"
I knew Gon would do that. So like Gon. Phase Two passed. Phase Three here we come!
