The white-haired, blue-eyed youth rejected the other's offer. "No, teach me how to make it, and I'll do it myself."

"With how picky they are, if you made it, it would be declared a failure no matter how you think about it," Su Wu said, his eyelids drooping, his face clearly showing boredom.
"As expected of you, sir, you think so thoughtfully." Maro acted like a cheerleader, very skilled at providing emotional value.
"It must be very simple for you, sir!" Maro's tone was full of certainty.
Maybe...
Su Wu thought uncertainly. Whether he had any talent for cooking was a mystery.
"Just cut along the grain of the meat, sprinkle with chopped herbs when the heat is just right, and then brush with honey..." Maro taught seriously.
Su Wu's expression was solemn, and he completed each step very carefully.
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the back left.
A chubby examinee appeared in his vision, followed by a flying bird-like creature with a wingspan of over two meters and five claws.
This guy looks a bit familiar...
"Help me--" The chubby examinee's face lit up with joy as if he had found his long-lost parents upon seeing Su Wu and Maro.
"Run, this Magical Beast is terrifying..." His expression changed, and he said anxiously, but he was secretly gloating.
Run, I've already discussed it with two other examinees and set up a trap ahead. As long as these two run forward, they'll be caught in the trap.
At that time, the treasures on them and that blonde kid will all be ours.
As he ran, his expression gradually became stiff.
Why were these two still sitting there calmly, watching him like a clown?
"Ah, I remember now," Su Wu said with a look of sudden realization.
It's Tonpa from the original story, the one who gave Killua or Gon the juice with laxatives, the one who participated in the Hunter Exam many times and was known as the rookie killer.
Judging by his actions, he's targeting me and Maro this time?
"Why aren't you running yet!" Tonpa shouted.
Immediately after, he saw the white-haired youth raise his index finger towards him and make a slight slicing motion. The next second, he was drenched in scalding liquid and solids poured down from above.
Red... it was blood, and... internal organs.
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out beside him. Tonpa stiffly turned his head to look, only to see the Magical Beast he had painstakingly lured had its wings, claws, and head severed by unknown means, and it had even been disemboweled.
What had just fallen on him along with the blood were the internal organs of the Magical Beast.
Bad, I've provoked a terrifying guy.
In an instant, Tonpa collapsed to the ground, stammering, not daring to say a word, and immediately played dead.
"As expected of you, sir! So strong! We have new ingredients! I heard this Magical Beast tastes and feels great too..." Maro happily ran to pick up the dismembered bird.
"Is that so? Then let's try it," Su Wu said indifferently.
Tonpa tried his best to reduce his presence, inching along like a worm writhing in a corner.
He clearly heard a snicker from the side but didn't dare to open his eyes to look.
Only when he felt he had moved far enough did he get up and flee the area in terror.
"Continue," Su Wu said casually, poking the campfire, signaling Maro to continue teaching.
Time flew by, and it was noon.
The familiar location, the familiar examiners, the familiar dining table.
And... the familiar picky tone.
"This flavor, it smells much better than this morning." The three examiners looked somewhat perplexed.
"Because I stuffed it with sour berries inside, and seasoned the skin with herbs and honey..." Su Wu recited the lines expressionlessly. What he served was grilled bird he had made himself.
Yes, it was the bird Tonpa had lured.
Under Maro's guidance, he had done every step himself, and the final product was declared a great success by Maro.
"Can I pass now?" he urged impatiently, his already limited patience about to run out.
"Of course it's... failure," Bindo deliberately drew out the word before announcing mercilessly.
"Huh?" Su Wu heard the warning as his patience completely ran out.
"You didn't take the exam seriously at all. This wasn't made by you; it was made by another examinee," Hutori said sternly.
These arrogant fools who think they know everything!
"No! I saw with my own eyes that Lord Hill made it! No one else!" Maro quickly ran out to testify.
"...I've been annoyed from the very beginning..." Su Wu slowly raised his head. The angrier he became, the brighter and more cheerful his smile grew.
"I've had enough of being judged by a bunch of weaklings." Black and blue energy spread out from his body in all directions, causing even the blades of grass to stand on end.
Even those who couldn't see Nen could feel a subtle, terrifying aura.
"Bang—" His figure appeared behind the examiner, one hand pressing down on the examiner's head and slamming it towards the dining table in front of them, shattering the table in half.
Hutori quickly drew the twin blades from his back, while Rogov stood far away, cautiously extending his hand.
The white-haired, blue-eyed youth smiled wickedly like a devil, one hand tightly gripping Bindo's head, his fingers seeming to pierce through the Nen protecting the opponent's head, intending to crush it directly.
"I made this with my own hands. If you dare waste even a little, I'll kill you." He bent down, grabbed a handful of food that had fallen to the ground, mixed it with dirt and grass roots, and forcefully shoved it into Bindo's mouth. He then clamped Bindo's mouth shut, smiling as he said.
Seeing Bindo reluctantly swallow the food in his mouth, he finally released his hand from Bindo's mouth.
"Understand your own strength, idiot." He grabbed Bindo's head, lifted him up, and casually flung him to the side, his tone full of impatience.
In the blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of Rogov, raising his leg without hesitation and kicking him fiercely to the side. The figure flying backward even broke three trees.
In another flash, he appeared behind Hutori, raised his foot, and stomped down, pinning him to the ground without lessening the force. Instead, he increased the pressure, creating a human-shaped crater in the earth.
"This examinee, attacking an examiner is a violation!" Rogov stood up, clutching his chest, and issued a warning.
Having used Nen to protect himself, his injuries were not severe.
But this series of actions was enough to prove that their strength was inferior to the youth before them, and they could only be passively beaten.
The white-haired, blue-eyed youth merely pressed a hand on the back of his neck, increased the pressure under his foot slightly, and tilted his head to ask, "So what? Are you going to announce that I'm disqualified now?"
"If that's the case, I can kill you all directly." His smile was brilliant, yet it carried overwhelming killing intent and malice.
"Cough... Calm down a bit, and release your foot." Bindo reappeared, rubbing his head.
He wasn't seriously injured either, but...
Being treated like this by a much younger examinee and being completely unable to fight back was a serious blow to his pride.
"I can also confirm that he did make it himself. I happened to be passing by and saw it then," Touba suddenly stepped forward with two other examinees, loudly explaining for Su Wu.
He hoped that in return for his earnest testimony, the other party wouldn't seek trouble with him later.
"Do you understand now who made this food?" Su Wu asked, annoyance in his eyes.
It was like painstakingly preparing a large table of dishes, only to be asked if he was too lazy and ordered takeout.
"You made it..." Bindo nodded, admitting the mistake he had made earlier due to his prejudice.
"Then apologize." The white-haired youth stood there, stomping on the back of examiner Hutori's head repeatedly, as if he were stomping on a soccer ball.
Each time Hutori managed to lift his head, he was stomped back into the crater.
"Apologize to me for your arrogance, conceit, and stupidity." His tone was casual, filled with malice.
"You better satisfy me, examiner." The upward curve of his lips and the corners of his eyes revealed undisguised mockery.
