Ep 6. Steak x Marathon x Exam Begins

Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio begin training for the Hunter Exam with one of the toughest challenges yet - a 80 kilometer marathon through a deadly jungle. They are given only three hours to finish the race, which is littered with traps and danger. Despite their best efforts, the three rookies quickly learn just how difficult this task is going to be. They soon realize that they're not only competing against their fellow exam participants, but they're also vying for the attention of veteran hunters who are evaluating their potential worth. The stakes are high, but the trio is determined to succeed.

As the marathon commences, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio quickly realize that it is not just a matter of running - it's a matter of survival. They must dodge trap after trap, avoid deadly creatures, and maintain their stamina throughout the entire race. Leorio, who had originally underestimated the difficulty of the exam, quickly realizes that he is out of his depth. He begins to fall behind, and it seems that he may not even finish the marathon.

Gon and Kurapika, on the other hand, push onward with all their might. They are determined to succeed, not only for themselves, but for the sake of their friendship as well. As they run, they encounter other prospective hunters who are just as determined to succeed as they are. Some of these hunters offer help and support, while others attempt to sabotage them at every turn.

As the hours tick by, the marathon begins to take its toll on the contestants. Some collapse from exhaustion, while others succumb to the danger of the jungle. Pitted against each other in a fierce competition, the hunters must learn to rely on their own strengths and wits to survive. But as the finish line draws near, one question remains - who will come out on top?

As the final stretch of the marathon approaches, Gon and Kurapika push themselves to the very limit. Their drive and determination prove to be unmatched, and they cross the finish line in record time. Leorio, who had fallen far behind, manages to make it to the finish line just in time to qualify for the next stage of the exam.

With the first stage of the Hunter Exam completed, the prospective hunters prepare for the next set of challenges. The exam is far from over, and the stakes are only going to get higher. The three friends know that they must push themselves even harder if they want to succeed. But as they take their first steps into the next stage of the exam, one thing is certain - they are determined to be among the few who make it to the end.
