Summary
Cherry is seen hanging upside-down from a tree, dead. Gon and Kurapika run through the forest to get to the second exam center. Gon sniffs on the air, to find Leorio's scent. They talk about the previous encounter with Hisoka. Gon said he felt a terrible pressure, but at the same time, he's also excited.

At the second exam center, Satotz leaves the candidates but decides to peek during the test. Gon and Kurapika arrives on time, and they saw Leorio already conscious but he can't remember much about what happened. Killua approaches the group, saying that he thought they will never make it.

When the clock struck to twelve, the doors opened, revealing a big man and a woman inside. Menchi announces to everyone that the next exam topic will be cooking, much to everyone's surprise. They will start cooking the dish Buhara asks, and those who were qualified will have to satisfy Menchi next. All they need to hear from the examiner is "It's good" and the exam ends when they are no longer hungry.

Buhara asks for a Roast Pork. They can cook whatever kind of pork, as long as it lives in Biska Forest. there are only 148 candidates left. Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika found a herd of Great Stamp, the fiercest type of pork. The Great Stamp charged at them and Gon hits one on the forehead. The others do the same because a Great Stamp's weakness lies on its forehead.

Many candidates succeeded in roasting the pork and Buhara begins eating.
