Chapter Summaries

Moro considered the dangers of Shin-Kage-Ryu before Biscuit offered to train him for a discounted Corundum Heart, but he suspected she wanted an excuse to beat him up. Biscuit left after defending her principles and caught Kurapika peeking in the corridor, then made a startling tabloid-style claim about Moro.

• Moro thought about Shin-Kage-Ryu's personality-clone concept, while Biscuit worried that he might pursue its dangerous methods.
• Moro told Biscuit he wanted to face strong opponents like Orion and asked how she planned to obtain the Corundum Heart despite being unable to afford it.

• Biscuit told Kurapika that Moro had taken advantage of her and abandoned her, leaving Kurapika deeply shaken.
