1. RACE — SATOTZ

405 candidates at the start.

Responsible party: Satotz

General objective: To follow Satotz during an extremely long endurance race and reach the end of the route without giving up.

Procedure:

The challenge begins in an underground tunnel; the candidates do not know the distance to be covered or how long it will take.

Satotz moves forward continuously at a sustained pace. The candidates must keep up with him. It is not simply a matter of running a short distance: the event primarily tests physical resistance, endurance, the ability to sustain prolonged effort, and the will to continue despite fatigue.

The tunnel is approximately 80 km long.

The second half of the tunnel gradually becomes more difficult and includes a long series of stairs over approximately 20 km.

The candidates must continue to move forward without losing sight of Satotz.

After passing through the tunnel, approximately 200 candidates are still able to continue the test.

The tunnel then opens into the Numelle marsh, also known as the "Nest of Swindlers".

The marsh constitutes the second part of the race.

The candidates must continue to follow Satotz and cross the marsh for approximately 20 km.

The environment is extremely dangerous: thick fog greatly reducing visibility, carnivorous creatures, predators using cunning, creatures capable of imitating or deceiving humans.
-human-faced monkeys capable of disguising themselves;
-deceptive crows;
-hypnotic butterflies;
-explosive mushrooms;
-other dangerous animals and organisms.

The main danger, therefore, does not come solely from physical endurance. Candidates must also be able to distinguish genuine information from traps and illusions.

Conditions for success:
A candidate succeeds if he remains able to continue the race, does not get definitively trapped by the dangers of the course, follows Satotz, reaches the end of the course.

2. CUISINE — MENCHI & BUHARA

148 candidates at the start of the competition.

Responsible parties: Buhara and Menchi

The test is divided into two parts.

2A. KITCHEN — GREAT STAMP

Responsible: Buhara

Objective: the contestants must capture a Great Stamp, then cook it.

Target: The Great Stamp is an extremely dangerous pig, powerful and aggressive enough to pose a real physical danger to the candidates.

Procedure:
The contestants must first find and capture their prey.
Capturing it is already a major challenge: the Great Stamp is a dangerous and resilient animal.
Once the pig has been captured, the candidate must then prepare its meat according to the requirements of the challenge.
The challenge therefore does not consist solely of defeating or capturing the animal. The candidate must also demonstrate their ability to properly transform the prey into a cooked dish.

Result: at the end of this first part, 70 candidates are selected to continue.

2B. EAGLE-TARANTULA EGGS

Responsible: Menchi

Context: Menchi imposes a second test after initially deciding not to validate any candidate.

President Netero intervenes and allows the exam to continue with a new test.

Objective: the candidates must retrieve the eagle-tarantula eggs.

Environment :
The eggs are located in an extremely dangerous area, associated with difficult terrain and the presence of tarantula eagles.
To succeed, candidates must take significant physical risks in order to reach the eggs.

Procedure:
Candidates must:
locate the eggs, reach their location, retrieve the eggs, return with your catch.

The difficulty therefore lies not only in the recovery: returning alive with the eggs is an integral part of the challenge.

During this section:
Two candidates die while trying to retrieve the eggs, several other candidates give up.

3. TRICK TOWER — LIPPO

40 candidates at the start of the competition.

Responsible: Lippo

Objective: Candidates must reach the bottom of the Trick Tower within a time limit of 72 hours.

Principle:
The tower is designed as a series of obstacles in which candidates must use: their intelligence, their problem-solving skills, their strategic thinking, their decision-making skills, their physical skills, their ability to cooperate or negotiate with others.

Prisoners:
The tower contains prisoners, who can serve as opponents for the candidates.

Candidates may face situations in which progress depends not only on their physical abilities, but also on their ability to understand the rules of a confrontation and to exploit the conditions of the test.

Time limit: Candidates have a maximum of 72 hours to reach the bottom of the tower. A candidate who fails to finish within this time limit cannot continue the exam.

Result :
24 candidates successfully complete this phase.

4. ZEVIL ISLAND — LIPPO / KHARA

24 candidates at the start of the competition.

Responsible parties: Lippo / Khara

Duration: 7 days.

Objective :
Each candidate receives an individual target among the other candidates.
The goal is to obtain 6 points before the end of the 7 days.

Points system:
Each badge has a different value depending on its owner:
Target badge: 3 points
His own badge: 3 points
Another candidate's badge: 1 point

The candidate must therefore manage several objectives simultaneously:

1. Find his target: he must identify and locate the candidate who has been assigned to him.
2. Obtain the target's badge: the target's badge is worth 3 points.
3. Keep your own badge: your own badge is also worth 3 points. The candidate must therefore prevent other candidates from stealing it.
4. Possibly collect other badges: badges from other candidates can earn 1 point each and be used to complete the necessary score.

Nature of the challenge: this phase is essentially a test of hunting, strategy, discretion and survival.

A candidate must constantly decide whether it is best to: pursue their target, hide, protect their badge, observe other candidates, set a trap, steal a badge, or wait for the right moment to act.

Physical strength alone does not guarantee success.

Condition for success: the candidate must have accumulated 6 points within a period of 7 days.

Result: 9 candidates reach the final phase.

5. FINAL EXAM — NETERO

9 candidates at the start of the competition.

Responsible: Isaac Netero

Objective: to determine which candidates are capable of becoming Hunters by confronting them with individual fights subject to specific rules.

Principle of the fights: the candidates compete individually.
Victory does not necessarily depend on the ability to physically knock out the opponent. A candidate can also win by getting their opponent to give up voluntarily.

Importance of rules:
The fights are designed to test the candidates' ability to accurately understand the rules, analyze their situation, control their emotions, avoid rash decisions, intelligently exploit the conditions for victory, adapt their strategy to their opponent, and maintain their composure under pressure.

Netero's role:
Netero observes the fights and evaluates the contestants. He doesn't just seek to determine who is the strongest. He is also interested in how each contestant reacts when faced with fear, pressure, frustration, an unfavorable situation, a stronger opponent, a specific rule, the possibility of surrendering, or causing their opponent to surrender. Killing an opponent results in their elimination.

Essential criterion: the quality of a candidate is therefore not limited to their physical strength.

The final exam primarily assesses the ability to remain in control of oneself, understand the situation, and use the rules intelligently to achieve one's goal.

Result

Candidates who have managed to win once will pass the Hunter exam, so only one candidate will be eliminated in this test.
