However, registering for the Hunter exam, does not mean one can take the Hunter exam. Gon must journey from his native Whale Island for the city on the mainland where the exam is held. On the way he must contend with fierce storms and agents paid to weed out unpromising examinees by leading them astray. It is during this time he meets and befriends his fellow examinee and future companions, the cold and determined Kurapika, and the seemingly brash and avaricious Leorio.

The next examiners, Gourmet Hunters Menchi and Buhara, reveal themselves shortly. The subject of the second exam: Cooking! The first part of the exam is to hunt and roast the elephant sized warthog of the surrounding woods to satisfy Buhara's massive appetite. The more demanding Menchi however, challenges the examinees to create a dish almost no one there has heard of: Sushi. However, when one examinee blabs the details of its creation, Menchi instead demands the examinees satisfy her taste buds. Unsurprisingly, everyone fails, and the Hunter Committee President Netero is called in to resolve the situation. A replacement test is given, requiring examinees to dive off a cliff to retrieve and boil the egg of a spider-eagle. Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and Killua all pass easily, and the remaining examinees are transported via Netero's zeppelin to the next exam site.
