Nero {I am not looking forward to the back end out com of this}

Alfa {….. sir might suggest finding a better way Thant this,}

Nero {com on alfa I mean what is the worst that could happen!!}

Alfa {you don't seem confidant in your words there sir}

Nero {trust me Alfa in the rear end of this everything will be fine (probable)}

Alfa {good luck sir,}

Nero opened the big sliding doors in front of him, and the aroma of the spices and dishes hit his nose. An old man warring the chef's hat spotted Nero and smiled pleasantly. He gestured for him to come his way. When Nero was in front of him he said

Nero "I am ready, bring it on" with a confidant look

Chef "to be frank I was not expecting you to come back at all,"

Nero "I am not a person who back out on his word"

Chef "indeed you are not, so how was your interview"

Nero "it was a bit unorthodox, but fine none the less"

Chef "HAHAHA, yes the chairman is like that most of the time"

Nero "say I have a proposition, how about I give you some of the herbs and you give me Menchis room number, a fair exchange is I say so myself"

The chef smirked after shearing what Nero said, he looked at him and said,

Chef "ow, what am I hearing? Is this coming former the man who said there is not a spiced dish in this world I can't eat and this was going to be a walk in the park?"

Nero "{(˕_˕)}, stop with the sarcasm, I got the message"

Chef "SHA HAAA HAA, okay then let us start with the first dish, the Sumer waive"

The first seven dishes of the chef were not much of a problem to Nero who loved spicy dishes. His problem lays with everything starting from this point onward. Even the names of the dishes were stupendously menacing and over the top, [the mirage maker 7th, the heatstroke 8th, the boom 9th, the devil's tang 10th, the phoenixes flair11th, the dancing flair 12th, soul boiler 13th, and finally the worst of them all the solar flare.

Chef "nicely don there, young man you have completely beaten, but are you sure you are feeling well??"

Nero easy were bloodshot red, all the vines on his face and neck bulged visibly, his face was bright red and was cover with lots of sweet, his tang had swollen outside of his mouth, and he was shivering ever so slightly now and then. He looked like a zombie on the verge of transition.

Nero "…,yash I am ofay gish teesh miii the rooihh numsher (yes I am okay, just give me the room number)"

But even with his messed up speech the chef understudy him and wrought the number of her room in a notepad and gave it to him. Nero took the note from him and went to open the door. as he was going out of the door, the chef said to him "do you want to have another bet". Nero did not ever turn to reply, instead, he flipped him the bird. And went out.

Nero {I am in no shape to meet someone, right now, I better call it the day and just go to sleep and recover}

Alfa {I don't think you would be doing that much sleeping sir.}

Alfa's words turn out to be true, not long after. Nero spent the rest of the night doing nothing but going in and out of the bathroom. The pine he felt while injecting the food in, was a lot less good then what he felt when it was coming out. This was the world's most intense bathroom break. The grants from his pine were heard multiple holes across the airship. And for some, it was sort of a layby that put them to sleep (Cough!! Hisoka, Chough!!).

And so the night passed. Some were exited, some were conflicted, some were delighted, some were bored, and one person had sworn off of eating anything spicy for the rest of his life.

The next day

The airship landed in of the chairman landed with the applicant and the proctors on the final exam sight. they have gathered in a high hole in sid a mention, the chairman of the Hunter association was standing by covered by a board covered by a white cloth. every one attention was focused on what he will be saying today and what will the final phase bee-like.

Netero " the final phase of the exam will be a, one on one face-off, between the applicants" saying so, he removed the white cloth covering the bord reviling the {Tournamoment bracket!!!!}

Leorio "so there can only be one winner?"

Netero "No!, in this tournament it will be the victors who will be dropping out and the losers will advance up the bracket," he said and removed the staple covering the bottom half of the board.

First-round: Match 1[Gon v Hanzo]. Match 2 [Hisoka v Nero]

Second round: Match 3 [Pokkel v first Match 1 loser], Match 4 [Kurapika vs Match 2 loser]

Third round: Match 5 [kilua v Match 3 loser], Match 6 [Bodoro V Match 4 loser]

Fourth round: Mach 7 [Illumi v Match 5 loser], Match 8 [Leorio v Match 6 loser]

final rownd : Mach 7 loser v Match 8 loser.

Netero " with this layout everyone has at least two chances to pass, what do you think? Fascinating right."

Pokkle "but this doesn't seem to be fair there are some who got five chances"

Netero "now that is a fair question, to answer you, this bracket was designed based on your performance in the past exams. to put it simply those whose performances were rated highest have more chances to win"

Killua " is ma not convinced can yo tell us how the score work"

Netero "no because the actual score is classified, but I can tell you what criteria we used to judge. we dos this on account of three categories, physical ability, mental acuity, and overall impressions. when judging your physical ability, we rely on an aggregate of [agility, flexibility, endurance, and perception]. for metal acuity [resilaynce, judgment, adaptability, and of course creativity]. but these are all only reference points, your reaching hear is a fact that you are both strong in festival ability and mental acuity. we are most concerned about the third factor. this one is any tangible faster that defies the based factor, think of it as judging your potential as a hunter, we round up our assessment by incorporating the opinions of your pears"

killua "....."

Netero "with that said these are the rules of the fight. weapons are allowed, to win you must make your opponent admit defeat, if you kill your opponent you will be disqualified, and if that happens the exam ends and the rest of the applicants pass".

firs match [Gon v Hanzo].
