Kevin received a shed horn from the two-headed wolves and learned from Jin that the power he had seen in battle was Aura, which Nen users could sense and control.

Kevin’s criminal associate arrived at his home with a van full of kidnapped girls and offered him one. Kevin realized the original owner had been involved in human trafficking, and he charged at the trafficker.

• Kevin debated cutting ties with the original owner’s criminal acquaintances after an accomplice arrived seeking refuge from the police.
• The accomplice parked his van in Kevin’s garage and revealed that muffled cries were coming from its cargo compartment.
• The accomplice opened the van and showed Kevin six bound girls, including a young blonde girl in a red Lolita dress.
• The accomplice offered the blonde girl to Kevin, who became furious and charged forward.

Kevin fought the tall, thin man who was trafficking captive women, shot him after knocking him unconscious, and fled before the police arrived. A young man watching from the alley wondered why his Master had let Kevin escape.

• Kevin heard a knock, saw the blonde twin-tailed girl outside his hotel room, and escaped over the balcony.

• Kevin fought defensively against Yungu, whose powerful attacks eventually left him exhausted.
• The girl arrived before Kevin and revealed that Jin had asked her to teach him.

Biscuit Krueger assessed Kevin and began teaching him the fundamentals of Nen after learning that his memory loss had left him unable to control his body properly. When Biscuit realized Kevin already had a Hatsu, he revealed his ability, [Moment's Dream], by conjuring the Alchemy Table.

• Biscuit introduced herself to Kevin as an eighteen-year-old Professional Hunter with forty years of Nen training experience.
• Biscuit explained that Kevin’s clumsy body control did not come from injury or illness, and Kevin told her he had lost his memories.
• Biscuit decided to teach Kevin the basics and explained Aura and the Four Major Principles: Ken, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu.
• Biscuit told Kevin she believed he had already developed a Nen ability, surprising Yungu.
• Kevin confirmed he had a superpower and conjured the Alchemy Table, naming his Hatsu [Moment's Dream].

Biscuit taught Kevin about the Six Types of Hatsu and used Water Divination to test his Nen affinity. After the cup’s changes suggested he was an Enhancement Type, she had him repeat the test while materializing his Scales, and the results changed completely.

• Biscuit recognized [Moment's Dream] as a Nen ability that should not belong to Kevin and began teaching him about Nen affinities.
• Biscuit explained the six Nen types and described the changes each one caused during Water Divination.
• Kevin used Ren on the cup, causing ripples and water to overflow, which indicated an Enhancement Type result.
• Biscuit told Kevin to materialize his Scales and repeat the test, and the changes in the cup were completely different.

Kevin learned that his Nen ability combined Enhancement and Specialization, and Biscuit explained how the six Nen types and Shingen-ryu training applied to him. Suspecting Kevin’s ability contained Post-mortem Nen, Biscuit took him away to begin rehabilitation training.

• Kevin’s leaf dissolved into boiling water and left faint black traces, revealing a Specialization-type effect alongside his Enhancement-type Nen.
• Biscuit explained Nen type affinities and advised Kevin to focus on Enhancement, supported by Transmutation and Emission.
• Biscuit privately recognized that Post-mortem Nen had merged with Kevin’s living body, but she could not identify its origin or obsession.
• Biscuit ended the lesson and took Kevin to the airport, explaining that his amnesia and lack of experience meant his training would begin with rehabilitation.

Kevin trained with Yungu under Biscuit, recovering familiar movements quickly but struggling to learn new combat skills. Biscuit recognized that his instinctive use of Aura and relentless enthusiasm could make up for his poor learning ability, then continued testing both disciples.

• Kevin sparred with Yungu for a week and complained that his combat skills were improving painfully slowly.
• Biscuit assessed Kevin's limited learning ability and dragged him into more intense physical training.
• After another week of training, Kevin fell exhausted at the Training Ground while Yungu tried to comfort him.
• Biscuit praised Kevin's instinctive use of [Ren] and enthusiasm for Nen, then demonstrated how quickly he reacted to her attack.
• Biscuit caught Yungu off guard with another attack and ordered him to do two hundred push-ups, while Kevin dodged the follow-up effortlessly.

Biscuit explained advanced Nen techniques to Kevin and clarified that his weak body and limited Aura kept him from sustaining his unusually skilled defense. Kevin realized he might create a genuine Enhancement Type ultimate technique alongside Moment's Dream, but Biscuit told him to focus on training and understanding his Nen.

• Biscuit explained seven advanced Nen techniques, including En, Concealment, Ko, and Flow, to Kevin and Yungu.
• Yungu realized Kevin had been using Flow to dodge his attacks, while Biscuit explained that Kevin stopped sparring because his body and Aura were too weak to continue safely.
• Kevin wondered if his instinctive use of advanced techniques made him impressive, but Biscuit warned that his poor learning ability would make it difficult to master them and create an ultimate technique.
• Kevin concluded that Moment's Dream would not prevent him from creating a separate Enhancement Type Nen ability, and Biscuit ordered him to keep training and understand his existing ability.
• Biscuit dismissed class and snapped her fingers, sending Yungu flying as Kevin dodged aside.

After three months of wilderness training, Biscuit ended Kevin and Yungu’s lessons and assigned Kevin to reach the Sky Arena’s 200th Floor without using Nen to attack. Kevin researched the arena and Professional Hunters, then resolved to complete his training and prepare for the next Hunter Exam.

• Kevin and Yungu finished their wilderness training, and Biscuit told them they had made progress.
• Biscuit ended this stage of training, then parted from Kevin and Yungu after assigning Kevin to fight his way to the Sky Arena’s 200th Floor without using Nen to attack.
• Biscuit told Kevin to understand his Nen ability and use what he had learned to construct the ability he wanted.
• Kevin researched the Sky Arena and learned that Nen users were uncommon below the 200th Floor, while higher floors were likely battles between Nen users.
• Kevin looked up Professional Hunters, learned about Hunter Licenses and the annual Hunter Exam, and set himself the goal of completing his assignment before the next exam.

Kevin went to Sky Arena and reflected on how his medicine-making Nen ability, [Moment's Dream], had changed after death and gained drawbacks when others used its medicines. Back at his rented house, he began testing the ability by preparing a medicine designed to strengthen muscles and increase manifest Aura capacity.

• Kevin walked through the streets around Sky Arena and considered how his Nen knowledge and Aura control compared with those of other Nen users.
• Kevin concluded that [Moment's Dream] was post-mortem Nen born from his former self's obsessive passion for making medicine, and that medicines used by others carried side effects.
• Kevin returned to his rented house and entered the basic laboratory he had set up with valuable materials from his luggage.
• Kevin summoned the Alchemy Table, placed Yang Hong Hua, Fire Duck Liver, and Evil Tiger Bone on its scales, and read the medicine's listed effects.
• Kevin entered Zetsu and poured his manifest Aura into the Alchemy Table as it began refining the medicine, a process that would take one hour.

Kevin completed his first [Power Potion] with [Moment's Dream] and continued pondering how to make his own Nen ability connect his talents. The next day, he attended a Sky Arena match and watched six-year-old Killua Zoldyck face Ao Kojo.

• Kevin finished brewing a potion, named it [Power Potion], and learned that [Moment's Dream] consumed his Aura throughout the process and produced effects lasting fifteen minutes.
• Kevin rejected the idea of enhancing [Moment's Dream] and considered how his own Nen ability could link his Aura control, [Moment's Dream], and other talents.
• Kevin attended a crowded match at Sky Arena's 145th floor, where the host introduced sixteen-year-old Ao Kojo and six-year-old Killua Zoldyck.
• Killua objected to being called [White Cat] and demanded titles like White Wolf or Leopard before jumping into the arena to face Ao Kojo.

Killua defeated Ao Gojo and advanced to the 150th Floor, while Kevin registered at Sky Arena and entered his first match. The chapter left Kevin facing a white-haired opponent named Kite, whom he recognized as a Nen user.

• Killua opened cautiously against Ao Gojo, then landed a valid hit and took the first point.
• Killua pressed his advantage until he won with a lethal hit, advancing to the 150th Floor as Gojo was treated by doctors.
• Kevin watched the arena matches and learned about the floors, prizes, and betting before registering to fight.
• Kevin accepted an immediate match and entered the arena as a new contestant on the 1st Floor.
• Kevin met his opponent, Kite, and realized he was a Nen user.

Kevin fought Kite in his first Sky Arena match, hoping to sharpen his body against skilled martial artists while using aura only for defense. Kite surrendered despite leading on points, and Kevin continued climbing the arena at a normal pace as Kite watched his later fights.

• Kite used [Focus] to study Kevin, then charged and landed the first hit, earning a point.
• Kevin welcomed Kite’s attacks and relied on his body and basic aura defense to develop battle instincts.
• Kite recognized Kevin’s aura control as a deceptive Nen ability and became fully focused on the match.
• Kite scored several more points, then surrendered because he felt he was not yet qualified to face Kevin seriously.
• The referee declared Kevin the winner and offered him advancement to the 50th Floor, but Kevin chose the ordinary route to the 20th Floor.
• Kevin won his next match with one punch, while Kite advanced to the 30th Floor and watched Kevin’s subsequent battles.
