Capítulo 127: Chapter 129 : Evaluation!!
"Alright, alright." Menchi had already prepared a whole plate of prawns and was now chopping pork ribs and slicing scallions and ginger. "I know I'm asking for trouble, but let us cook this meal."
Buhara stir-fried the prawns Menchi handed him, added a bit of sauce, and took them out of the pan.
He smiled innocently and said, "We're all friends here, so don't worry about it."
"In that case..." Bisky feigned reluctance, glanced at Germain standing calmly nearby, and said, "I'll leave it to you then. I'm really sorry."
So, ten minutes later, Germain, Bisky, and the others enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the gourmet hunters Menchi and Buhara.
Even though the dishes were simple home-cooked meals, you could easily tell which ones were made by them and which were made by Wing and Germain.
Germain and Shizuku nodded approvingly while eating.
Bisky kept praising Menchi and Buhara's cooking skills, which made Menchi feel a bit flattered.
Buhara just kept grinning as usual.
Wing saw Zushi's eyes shining with enjoyment and noticed Kurapika helping himself to more food, which made him feel increasingly embarrassed.
But no one blamed Wing and Germain. They had been the main cooks before Menchi and Buhara arrived and had done a pretty good job.
After dinner, except for Buhara, who wasn't full and went to make a late-night snack, everyone else was satisfied. They either collapsed on the sofa or went for a walk outside.
When Germain finished washing the dishes and returned to the living room, he saw Bisky talking to Menchi, making Menchi nod repeatedly.
Seeing Germain, Bisky immediately approached him and asked, "Germain, did you like Menchi and Buhara's cooking?"
"It was delicious." Germain gave his highest praise.
"Shizuku and Wing said the same thing." Bisky chuckled, "Menchi, it seems everyone here is very pleased with you two."
"Of course." Menchi smiled proudly, "We're professionals when it comes to food."
"By the way, you should explain what the 'Danger Zone' mentioned earlier is."
Professional hunters usually find jobs in one of two ways: through intermediaries in professional organizations or by being directly invited by organizations or individuals.
Bisky used the latter approach to lure Menchi and Buhara here. While calling the "Dark Continent" a "Danger Zone" isn't entirely untrue, it is somewhat misleading.
"Do you want to discuss it now?" Bisky asked Germain for his opinion. "Anyway, Shizuku, Wing, and I have approved it."
Menchi glanced between Bisky and Germain with suspicion, wondering what they were up to.
Germain was silent for a moment.
"Menchi, since this is very important, I need to personally evaluate your abilities before deciding whether to share the 'Danger Zone' information. Are you okay with that?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Menchi replied quickly. After hearing Germain's usual cautious tone, Bisky added, "It's not that we don't trust you; we just want to expand our horizons."
"Buhara and I don't mind," Menchi said with a smirk. "Before we accept any assignment, there's almost always an 'evaluation.' We're used to it."
"You guys are so mysterious. People who don't know you might think you want to infiltrate the core of V5 or the Kakin Empire... Are you really that extreme?"
Bisky thought to herself that they might be even crazier than people realized. The "Lantern Holder" Germain's personality really shapes the direction of their group.
"Alright, let's do it this way," Germain said. "Get a good night's sleep and recharge. We'll make our plans tomorrow morning."
At this point, Menchi couldn't get any more useful information from them, so she decided to wait.
Even though being kept in the dark wasn't pleasant, she was willing to wait overnight if needed.
So, Menchi exchanged a few words with Buhara, who was chewing on a large bone, and then agreed to Germain's request, moving into the two rooms Bisky had arranged for them.
The next morning, the thin mist around the mansion and lake lifted, revealing the dew-covered grass.
Kurapika used the time to finish his training on using "Ten" and "Zetsu" as naturally as breathing.
After that, he went to the lake's edge and joined Bisky, Wing, and Zushi, watching the upcoming battle from the sidelines.
Kurapika noticed that Germain had a high status among everyone these days, largely due to his impressive fighting skills. However, Kurapika wasn't sure how strong Germain really was.
Today, Germain was going to fight again, giving Kurapika a chance to see his skills without picking on weaker opponents.
Shizuku wasn't around. She wasn't interested in the fight and was sticking to her rule of getting 8 hours of sleep each night. At the moment, she was sound asleep with her eyes closed.
Germain stretched a bit and then looked at his first opponent—Buhara.
Buhara was big and muscular. He bounced a couple of times like a ball, then faced Germain with a goofy smile and a sumo wrestler stance.
"I'm ready, Germain. Bring it on," Buhara said.
Germain watched Buhara's breathing and used his experience to gauge his aura. Without hesitating, he suddenly charged towards Buhara.
Kurapika and Zushi were amazed. To them, it looked like Germain had instantly appeared in front of Buhara.
But Buhara sensed Germain's Aura flow. He didn't need to see Germain's exact movements; feeling the Aura was enough to know where he was.
Even if Germain used a Zetsu, Buhara would sense it as long as their strength difference wasn't too great.
Buhara raised his left leg and stomped the ground, causing a loud bang and shaking the area where Germain stood. Then, he pushed Germain with his right palm.
Suddenly, Buhara felt a chill, and his eyes widened in surprise.
He quickly turned his head to dodge the "cane" that was dangerously close to him, feeling a shiver run down his back for a moment.
Buhara's palm strike was forced to bend and was easily avoided by Germain.
The "cane" that Germain had thrust into the air suddenly transformed into a "Cleaver" slashing diagonally toward Buhara's neck.
It was a perfect blend of "Conjuration and Transmutation"!
Buhara gasped internally, then swiftly straightened up to evade the slash. Taking advantage of his height, he slammed down with his palms onto Germain, as if a mountain was crashing down on him!
