The group returned with strange looking fish. Kyriak was looking at her fish in wounder. She had, with gons tips, managed to capture a fish, it was a strange alien looking thing, tilting her head she continued to stare into the eyes of the dead fish.

Could it be poisonous? It looked uneatable, how do you tell whether you can eat it or not. Can you eat all of it? Like what was the point of a fish? Why did it...

Her thoughts continued on a never-ending spiral, or would of if not for killua nudging her snapping her out of the thoughts. "We have a task to do" He nodded towards the fish; turning her attention back towards the exam at hand and to his own deadly looking fish.

Kyriak glanced towards her fish and the cooking station. It shouldn't be too hard, should it? But that doesn't mean she suddenly knew how to cook sushi... she pouted, sliver hue narrowing as she looked at her fish.

Leorio was the Frist of the group to finishing making 'sushi'. This dish consisted of a ball of rice stuffed with bits and pieces of fish stuck in and out at random intervals. Not something she would even consider eating but each to their own?

It didn't pass.

Machi threw the eat failing the man without even trying it.

That was the start, anyone who brought up sushi to the women failed for any reason one could think of.

Kyriak sushi on the other hand...

Machi could feel her eye twitching in annoyance as she stared at the dish the vermillion haired girl had brought up. Somehow, the girl had managed to turn the sushi into a charcoal ball. There wasn't a Lound explosion like in the previous round but the smell of burnt rice and a charocaol ball of sushi.

"How..." the older hunter started to muttered quietly. "How on earth did you manage to burn sushi!" the women yelled getting to her feet. "There not even a fire or oven for you to use! How did you do it?!"

Kyriak tilted her head in though, "hmmm... I don't know! I was playing with the rice making shapes and when I looked down it was cooked! Does that mean I pass?" she questioned with a quizzical, innocent graze.

"didn't she play with the rice for like ten minutes..." muttered an unknown wannabe hunter in the back ground.

"Hell no!" the hunter yelled throwing a x paddle at her head. Kyriak pouted in annoyance. Before turning to her station alongside killua and gon who were both podding the rice having also failed.

Bored kyriak started playing with the knives on the worktop, flipping them point to handle tip on the edge of her finger much to the delight and interested of killua and gon (who found it cool) to horror of kurapika who mother hen started to come out.

Killua glanced towards the knifes started to copy the girl and soon enough the pair were passing the knifes back and forwards much to the amusement of gon and some others watching the smiling (or smirking in killua case)

Completely ignoring the exam passing by, the rant of machi and the failing of everyone. Kyriak particular oblivious to the glittered sapphire blue hues that seemed to lighten as she smiled more at the dangerous knifes being throw. The knives getting more extreme and faster as time progressed.

Killua stared at the girl before him, half of his attention on the hunter exam around him. Half of the girl before him. She was growing on him, like gon but it a different way a different sort of spark was there and he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do about it.

If his family was about...

"Second phase of the second trail round cooking trail! Qualified 0!" killua caught the knife throwed towards his face before turning his attention to the hunters, with a deadpanned face really?

He gripped kyriak hand pulling her forward, already sensing the girl mind wondering instead of paying attention to the hunter exam. He was slowly able to determine her thoughts, mainly as the girl had an everchanging expression or the fact her eyes seem to always wander everywhere without looking.

He was right, kyriak glaze wondered to the clouds watching them slowly drift across the sky before they drifted to the swaying trees watching a leaf drop and blow towards the applicants. She pauses, locking onto the eyes of grey-skinned, blue mohawks male. The male in question was staring at her, specifically were killua held her hand.

She cocked her head in thought, staring at the pins? Covered man. Where they pins? or needles? She thought eyeing the golden-brown metal work. She could sense the slight Nen coming from them but it didn't mean anything to her. She wondered what they were made out of?

"That's one explanation! But does it justify such severity?!" A voiced called from the sky...?

Kryiak blinked turning her attention upwards in surprise. What had she missed? (everything)

"I need to work on that..." she muttered quietly to herself as she senses something fall towards the ground.

The chairman of the Hutner association, Netreo, landed on the floor without a scratch dropping from stuck a height. Though she said she would work on concentrating on the things happening around her... she zoned out again. Letting killua guide her onto the airship and to be given to a mountain. The slivernette didn't explain anything just dragged her along as her mind drifted on the overflowing current of thoughts.

"You ready?" the slivernette muttered, dropping her hand.

"Huh?" She let out a confused sound before turning to killua.

Killua snorted pointing to the examiner jumping into the ravine. Kyraik tilted her head before shrugging and running forwards with the boys a smile on her face as she jumped into the darkened abyss.

Getting the egg was easy- just jump waiting and grab. It would have been harder if it wasn't for gon queue. Getting back up was even easier. Just ride the current back up. The hardest part for kyriak was the boiling the egg. Under the watchful eye of killua gon, leorio and kurapika she placed the egg in with all the others. And only touching it to get it out when given the thumbs up from gon (who got it from buhara)

Meaning the group passed the cooking part of the exam.

And more importantly, kyriak successfully cooked her first proper(ish) meal.
