On the airship, Dio forcibly awakened Mumuzawa’s Nen and taught her its fundamentals before using Water Divination to identify her category. With the airship due to reach the Kakin Empire the next day, Dio planned to return to Loi City and have Cheadle investigate the Arrowhead Fragment.

• Dio had Mumuzawa complete an exhausting warm-up before beginning her Nen training.
• Dio carefully infused Mumuzawa with Ripple Nen to awaken her aura, then guided her as she learned the basic form of Ten.

• Mumuzawa’s leaf spun around the glass, revealing that she was a Manipulation user.
• Dio helped Mumuzawa practice Ren and planned to ask Cheadle to investigate the Arrowhead Fragment after returning to Loi City.

• Bokushin wondered whether to abandon her plan for a quiet life and marry the man who had swindled her, then collapsed in despair.

Dio struggled to sleep aboard the airship and suspected his new Time Stop Rampage ability was causing an unfamiliar, icy sensation. He messaged Cheadle about finding Arrowhead Fragments and then answered Mumuzawa's complaint about learning Nen.

• Dio practiced Ryu in the quiet airship bar because an icy presence kept him from sleeping.
• Dio suspected that frequently using Time Stop Rampage was behind his insomnia and decided to save it for decisive moments.

• Dio messaged Cheadle that he was searching for an Arrowhead Fragment but could not explain why.
• Mumuzawa messaged Dio that learning Nen was too hard, and Dio began sending her guidance.

Cheadle told Dio that the Stand Arrow fragments were cataloged as the [Oldest Arrow], an ancient relic that had disappeared during a Ruins Department attack five years earlier. Dio learned that Ging Freecss might know more about the attack, while Cheadle arranged an information search and confirmed their commission would begin in about two months.

• Cheadle summarized records describing three fragments of the [Oldest Arrow], their failed reconstruction, and their disappearance in an attack on the Ruins Department five years earlier.

• Cheadle kneaded Misty while discussing how Dio could develop its mist ability.
• Cheadle suggested using restrictions and pledges to make the fog suppress En.
• Dio considered giving up the use of En inside the mist, provided he first trained his own En to a high level.
• Dio began training En and planned to refine the Dense Fog weather phenomenon before Cheadle's commission began.

Dio agreed to play Ghost Catching with Netero, who revealed that Cheadle would face Pariston in the Hunter Association’s December vice-chairman selection. As Netero pressed Dio to reveal his hidden strength, a strange influence briefly stirred thoughts of invincibility in him.

• Netero persuaded Dio to play Ghost Catching by hinting that Cheadle would need help with something she had not told him.
• Dio attacked Netero, but Netero dodged his strikes while explaining that Cheadle would likely face Pariston for the vice-chairman position.
• Dio declared that Cheadle would win, though he believed Pariston would take the election and Netero would choose him as vice chairman.
• When Netero asked if he was surrendering, Dio briefly felt driven to believe he was invincible, then questioned the sudden thoughts.
• Netero explained that he wanted Dio to show the powerful trump card he sensed in him, then unleashed a terrifying aura and pressure.

Dio considered whether to challenge Netero for the promise of one request, weighing the reward against exposing his hidden ability. Just as he prepared to fight, Cheadle interrupted, and Netero ended the game.

• Netero matched Dio's movements and kept just beyond the suspected range of [The World].
• Dio decided that winning was not worth risking exposure and tried to withdraw, but Netero offered to grant him one request if he won.
• Dio reconsidered the offer and prepared to fight, suspecting Netero already knew something about his abilities.
• Cheadle entered the Training Ground and stopped the confrontation, then called Dio over to check on him.
• As Dio passed Netero, a golden phantom briefly appeared and vanished.

• Netero sensed a faint sting on his chin and realized Dio had attacked without showing any signs of preparation.
• Netero spotted a fine white hair on the back of Dio’s neck but said nothing as Cheadle examined the boy and found no injuries.
