For the next month or so, Gelman couldn't leave everyone at the mansion behind and travel alone as he usually did.
For one thing, Biscuit kept him there, asking him, Shizuku, Menchi, and Buhara to help build a treatment room and a Training Room beside the mansion.

It had been more than two months since Gelman had accepted Kurapika as his disciple, and Kurapika's training was finally about to enter the Hatsu stage.

On top of that, Gelman demanded
