Why did I have that dream... I've never even met Hisoka.
Was it a prophetic dream? Does that mean I should hunt Hisoka down before it happens...
(At that moment, far away, Hisoka frowned in the shower, feeling a vague sense of unease.)
Dio frowned. Hisoka was one of the rare combat masters in the Hunter world who had reached the top through fighting skill alone.
Beating him, whether in a head-on fight or a chance encounter, was a pipe dream for Dio as he was now.
But Hisoka had a bad habit: he liked to hold back at the start of a fight, toying with weaker opponents before getting serious once he had had his fun.
Given that personality, and the fact that he was not an Enhancer with exceptional defense, Dio believed he had a chance to kill Hisoka in their first encounter if he prepared properly-as long as The World's ability remained a secret.
Wait... The World?
Dio suddenly remembered that The World had also appeared in his dream, and a sudden inkling stirred in his heart!
The contents of that dream probably did not matter. What mattered was The World appearing in it!
Dio was about to summon The World to examine it, but he darted a quick glance at Cheadle beside him.
Right. Although Cheadle could not see his Stand, she would still be able to see his movements if he started examining The World.
Cheadle caught that strange glance immediately.
Hmm? Why is this kid looking at me?
Cheadle frowned, realizing she could not let this silence drag on any longer.
"You've had enough rest, right? If you have, come with me to the dojo on the top floor. Today is your first lesson in training your Nen ability!"
With that, she stood up decisively, without a moment's hesitation.
As soon as they got down to business, Cheadle immediately slipped into her usual brisk, no-nonsense manner.
Seeing this, Dio also moved to get up, but suddenly, he seemed to notice something and paused. Then he followed Cheadle as though nothing had happened.
Only when he was out of Cheadle's sight did Dio discreetly swallow.
Meanwhile, the slice of Nebula Lava Cake on the table-the one Cheadle had intended to save for her own dinner, made using a recipe she had picked up by watching a Gourmet Hunter-had vanished.
