"Wendy."
"Kaizen, are you all right?"
"I'm fine."
"Where are you now?"
"In a hotel."
Kaizen gave her the name of the hotel.
Wendy let out a relieved sigh. "Good. I'm a little busy right now, but I'll contact you later."
"Alright."
The call ended.
As Kaizen had requested, Tessia was undergoing physical training, while he himself was investigating the human trafficking ring.
Previously, the clues had been too limited to uncover anythin...

Kaizen's gaze swept across the auditorium, his expression distant.
Scattered among the audience were young fighters, nobles, and commoners, but his focus was elsewhere—on a little girl and a middle-aged woman.
"Altan, hack into all surveillance cameras. I need eyes on the entire venue."
Without hesitation, Altan complied. For most people, hacking even with top-tier technology would be a daunting task. But for Altan, it was effortless. That was why Kaizen valued Altan's abi...

"Altan!"
As soon as Kaizen gave the order, Altan appeared, holding a modified phone connected to the network, quickly searching for information on Tessia.
"Tessia, can you tell me your mother's name?"
"Also, where are you from? Who's in your family?"
Tessia, completely unguarded, answered without hesitation.
"My mother's name is Rina."
"We are from the United States of Saherta."
"Besides my mother, I have some younger siblings. I had older ones before...

"Dominica-sama, what is it?"
"Kaizen, do you remember the deal Zeno made with the Royal Family of Fiora?"
"I do."
"In truth, the Nirvana Conference consists of three stages."
Dominica continued, "The first stage is a group arena. That much, you've already figured out."
Kaizen had indeed done his research. However, all the information Altan found only detailed the group arena matches. Beyond that, nothing.
Clearly, the group arena wasn't the full picture.

Razor's Nen affinity is primarily Emission, but he also possesses notable skill in Manipulation.
The eight humanoid beasts, each marked with a number from 0 to 7, are constructs of Razor's Manipulation ability. He further utilizes Emission to control and command them.
Nen is rarely confined to a single category. Even Gon's Jajanken incorporates elements beyond Enhancement: his punch is primarily Enhancer-based, but his palm incorporates Emission, and his scissors rely on Transmuta...

"Ronnel~"
Ronnel smiled lightly and responded calmly.
"Ronnel?"
The smile on Razor's face didn't waver, but he repeated the name in his mind. It sounded familiar.
Meeting Ronnel was already a unique experience, so Razor had instinctively asked for his name. What he didn't expect was the lingering familiarity that name carried.
"I feel like I've heard it somewhere before..."
For someone like Razor, a name that left an impression had to belong to someone trul...

After pushing aside the thoughts in his mind.
Once the next phase of the game was set, Razor officially announced the start.
"First up is boxing. Who's stepping in from your side?"
With narrowed eyes and a relaxed smile, Razor looked at the group behind Tsezguerra.
"I'll go~"
A tall, muscular man from Tsezguerra's team stepped forward, but before he could move, a hand stopped him.
"Mr. Razor, may I call you that?"
Ronnel first gave a friendly smile to...

With that in mind, Ronnel clicked the accept button.

At the same time—
"Bisky, is it really okay for us to bother Ronnel?" Gon asked, sounding a little hesitant.
"What's the problem? After playing around for over a month, it's time to get serious. Besides, what's wrong with a master calling on their apprentice for help?"
Bisky responded nonchalantly.
Gon thought about it for a moment and realized she had a point, so he didn't argue further.

Raiken's figure was forced backward, his feet dragging deep trenches into the ground.
But Dominica noticed something—the speed of his retreat was steadily decreasing. A massive amount of aura was concentrating in Raiken's legs, counteracting the force.
Wendy's attack was certainly powerful, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke's interference had not been in vain. A significant portion of the hurricane's strength had been mitigated, leaving Raiken to endure a reduced impact.

Dominica shook her head, her expression a mix of awe and disbelief.
'Even among the Zoldyck family, Kaizen must be top-tier, right? Otherwise, this doesn't make any sense at all.'
The Zoldycks were an elite lineage, unmatched in their prowess, but the royal family of Fiora wasn't far behind. Wendy's talent was already considered exceptional among her generation—after all, she had earned the title of Son of the Dragon. Yet, Kaizen's abilities defied all expectations.

"What should I do about the special training?"
Kaizen had no resistance to training with Wendy.
First of all, like Kaizen said, he and Wendy were friends.
Second, training with Wendy wouldn't just benefit her—it would also be valuable for Kaizen. Someone with Wendy's level of talent was rare.
When Kaizen was in Heavens Arena, he had immediately accepted Doppo's invitation to join TST, eager to test himself against its fighters. The combination of individual training ...

In addition, there were those who had infiltrated the Kingdom of Fiora from the Taris Kingdom.
"Once the Nen users of Fiora's royal family engage them in battle, as long as I'm nearby, my observer's extreme focus will accelerate its absorption speed."

One scenic spot, one restaurant, one breathtaking view after another.

Under the shade of a dense tree stood a group of people, each dressed in their own unique style.
A blond young man with a baby face rushed toward Ronnel with a grin, greeting him enthusiastically.

At first glance, the gathered Phantom Troupe members were nearly unrecognizable in the dim light. As Ronnel approached, he identified Shalnark, Franklin, Feitan, Phinks, Bonolenov, Nobunaga, and M...

It's only January, and Gon and the others still have to wait until March to clear the game.
Then, in mid-April, they'd be invited to Heavens Arena, followed by the Chimera Ant incident that would start causing trouble in May.
There was plenty of free time before then—enough for Ronnel and Shizuku to spend more time together.
As for the old friends Ronnel had mentioned, he was, of course, referring to the Phantom Troupe, who were still searching, and Milluki, who was busy c...

Kaizen left, but the chaos in Heavens Arena was far from over.
The deaths of three Floor Masters were a major event for Heavens Arena.
After all, there were only twenty-one in total.
Losing three at once meant that one-seventh of them were gone.
Even if they were lower-ranked, their deaths were still a significant loss.
Naturally, speculation ran wild.
Some believed Heavens Arena had made a powerful enemy.
Others suspected internal conflict.

"But the effect is remarkable."

In terms of my personal life, there really isn't much to criticize.
But… then why is Killua so afraid?
A sudden thought flashed through Ronnel's mind. Narrowing his eyes, he turned to Killua, suspicion creeping into his gaze.
"To be honest, I believe you… but…"
Taking a step forward, Ronnel placed a hand on Killua's shoulder and quietly activated his Nen ability, Psychometry.

Orleans took a deep breath, regaining his composure.
Kaizen was too agile—his attacks rarely landed cleanly. If that was the case, then a change in strategy was necessary. Instead of an aggressive offense, he'd adopt a defensive counterattack approach.

Soon, under Killua's efficient clean-up, the number of remaining examinees at the scene was unknowingly reduced to the required 499.
At this point, not even half of the allotted time had passed.
