• Moro called Kalluto and asked him to come out to the front gate, startling Gubai.

• Kikyo tried to intimidate Moro after realizing she could not harm him without violating the family’s Mental Constraint, while Kalluto silently urged Moro to leave.

• Biscuit encouraged Zushi to review his loss to Moro and train harder, while Zushi asked what relationship she had with Moro.

After crushing Maury, Moro reflected on his Nen progress as the Floor Masters and Heaven’s Arena’s champion recognized him as a serious threat. He returned to training, but Biscuit arrived to discuss something and found him still protesting about the engagement ring.

• Moro defeated Maury decisively, judging that Maury relied too heavily on his flexible Nen ability and lacked supporting technique and tactics.

• Biscuit entered Moro's room and denied bringing a camera-wielding person who was watching them in the hallway.
• Biscuit told Moro that Heaven's Arena had announced the Fighting Olympics prize and asked to buy the Corundum Heart Gem and possibly the Dome Treasure Box from him if he won.

Biscuit explained how Shin-Kage-Ryu used dissociative identity disorder to make conjured doubles easier to create, and how Orion destroyed the school after losing control. Moro saw the technique as a possible shortcut to expanding Nen, while Biscuit realized it helped explain his rapid growth.

• Biscuit told Moro that Orion was the last inheritor of Shin-Kage-Ryu and had killed everyone at its dojo six or seven years earlier.
• Biscuit explained that Shin-Kage-Ryu members deliberately developed dissociative identities so they could conjure their inner personalities as doubles that removed harmful factors.
• Moro pointed out that the shortcut increased the risk of losing mental control, and Biscuit confirmed Orion’s doubles had killed the school.
• Moro considered whether abnormal mental states could make difficult Nen abilities easier and thought of Palm’s unusual Conjuration ability and the Truth Eye group.
