The opponent erased his presence immediately after seeing the group. The group consists of three people: Gon, Killua, and Biscuit. Killua initially sensed blood-lust from the opponent. Biscuit proposes the three act together to destabilize the opponent.
Biscuit plans to act as bait to lure the opponent. The group splits into three directions to surround the target. Gon is instructed to use Zetsu at the rocky mountain. Biscuit activates an ability producing a bright circular aura effect.
Gon and Killua stare in shock at the small girl before them. "YOU'RE A HAG!!" Gon blurts out. "57 YEARS OLD?!" Killua adds in disbelief. Biscuit stands with her back to a ruined stone wall as the boys react. She explains that she went far beyond both of them in the Nen domain forty years ago and offers to become their coach. The boys remain stunned. In close-up panels, Killua questions who she really is while Biscuit's face shows a sly smile. The main panel reveals Biscuit fully as she breaks through the page border with a bright grin and a thumbs-up. "MY NAME IS BISCUIT KRUGAR, PRO HUNTER! GLAD TO MEET YOU!!" she declares.

Gon urges Killua to speak up. Killua protests that they are not the type to learn from an unknown person. Biscuit counters that in exchange for unconditional obedience she will teach them, suggesting they call her "Bisk." She tells them to take back everything they said. Killua admits they already have a teacher named Wing-san. Biscuit leans in and asks if they said "Master" earlier. She then questions whether they know a certain person who wears glasses, always falls asleep, and wears clothes inside-out. Biscuit points dramatically and declares, "KNOW HIM? HE WAS MY DISCIPLE!"

Gon stares with wide eyes while Killua leans forward excitedly, shouting 'WAA! COOL!' A small ellipsis bubble floats between them. In the next panel Killua peeks out and says 'AH, ONLY ME.' Biscuit stands with hands on her hips, explaining that the man who became a master is surprising and that time passes quickly. She continues that Wing was bad at learning but teaching might suit him. From a distance Gon calls out 'PASSED!' and asks about the hidden exam, noting it has been a long time since Biscuit was an examiner. Biscuit replies that it should not cause any problem, declares herself the master of their master, and addresses Gon directly. Gon protests that he likes that kind of character, calling her quite stubborn, while Biscuit insists that only if the story is true does he seem to have the right disposition.

Biscuit holds up a card labeled '673 MARIMOCHI D-50' showing a black spiky creature and explains its properties while Gon and Killua react with surprise. Killua exclaims 'BOOK!' as Biscuit opens a book with motion lines. Gon notes that the card is from a while ago. Biscuit holds the card and tells them there is no specific pocket number so it is a normal card, then urges them to look at it because they said they were not in a hurry. In a rocky canyon setting Biscuit warns that even in a safe state they can still improve, that meeting evil players means death, and that many others could easily obtain the card. She adds that the fact they could not get it is not a problem and that it is obvious many people stronger than them exist in the game.

Killua stares ahead with wide eyes from the top of the frame. Below, Genthru leans against ancient stone ruins under a starry sky, gripping his open scissors. In the distance, three small figures stand together on the stone path. Genthru narrows his eyes and thinks, 'THREE BRATS...' He tightens his grip on the scissors and continues, 'WITH MY SCISSOR HANDS... I'LL CUT THEM INTO PIECES...'

Killua warns Biscuit that there is an enemy at his back and tells her to get her binder out and chat casually. Biscuit responds by telling him to talk about anything and not try to locate the enemy's presence or his nervousness will transmit to him. Gon stands nearby looking confused. Biscuit explains that the enemy has a lot of experience because he saw three kids and lowered his defense. She notes it is merely perceptible but she can still feel it. Biscuit adds that a veteran knows it perfectly and that it is rare for strong or capable Nen users to exist. She points out that the enemy's bloodthirst shows he intends to kill them. Gon remains puzzled by the situation.

The group senses a powerful opponent nearby. "I can sense that he's really strong." "The small feeling of blood-lust, and the way it disappeared so quickly... In short, from our opponent's presence..." "It's because he's quite experienced that he lowered his guard when he saw us, but immediately after that, he erased his presence!" Gon leans forward with wide eyes and asks, "What should we do?" A voice notes, "We couldn't even feel his presence... We don't have the level to perceive anything..." Biscuit turns to Killua and inquires, "What's your opinion?" Killua replies that the opponent changed his mind quickly and is quite clever. Biscuit presses, "Why?" Gon agrees, "Yes, I think the same thing." Biscuit concludes, "The three of us act together." She confirms, "Correct answer." Killua nods, "Mm." Biscuit explains, "So if the three of us act together, I think he'll become unstable." Gon adds, "If he erased his presence after lowering his guard, it must be because there are three of us."

Biscuit states there is a 100% chance the opponent will go after her if she goes alone. Killua suggests going together but Biscuit counters they should make their moves from different directions. She instructs Killua to remain as he is and walk on for about 300m while she goes south and Gon goes north. They agree to double-tail the target. Biscuit tells Gon his aim is the high rocky mountain and to use Zetsu the moment he reaches it. A large SFX "バチー" erupts as Biscuit activates an ability with a glowing aura ring around her hands while Gon watches from a crouch. In the aftermath, Gon grins with relief and Killua looks on with a neutral expression.

In a rocky, starlit canyon, Gon shouts angrily at the small girl with pigtails, declaring he cannot take her anymore and bidding her goodbye. The girl retorts that if he really thinks so, that is fine. Killua, standing nearby with spiky hair, refers to her as that old hag. Gon and Killua then turn away, with Gon saying it is an act and urging them to go, while Killua calls him an idiot. The girl waves farewell as Gon and Killua walk off. Suddenly, an unseen voice notes that the girl is incredible. In a close-up, Killua reflects that before he felt the pain on his cheek, he saw nothing coming and was ready to move as soon as anything happened. The scene shifts to a dark, starry sky and a final panel showing Gon peering around a rock formation with a surprised expression.

Gon and Killua stand together among tall rock formations under the night sky. Gon agrees enthusiastically that they should return now and hurry because they met those monsters on their way. Killua nods in agreement. Motion lines and close-ups of their feet show sudden movement. Both boys react with shock, eyes widening and a large exclamation mark appearing between them. From their viewpoint, a lone figure stands in the middle of the rocky path ahead, with Gon and Killua's faces visible in the foreground looking toward the distant person.

A spiky-haired man leaps forward with wild energy, laughing 'KUKUKU KUKUKU' as he declares, 'I cut off your hair!' In a small inset, another figure waves while saying, 'THE HAIRS I CUT... (WITH MY FAVORITE SCISSORS)'. The man continues, 'I EAT THEM!' as a grotesque, exaggerated face with a lolling tongue fills the panel, surrounded by swirling motion lines. He explains his ability in detail: 'MUSCLES, ILLNESSES, HEREDITARY DISPOSITIONS... I can learn more about the person than they themselves know... I WILL IMMEDIATELY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR BODY... PLUS, YOU'RE CUTE.' Nearby stands a young girl with pigtails in a black dress, watching silently. The sequence ends on a dramatic close-up of wide, shocked eyes marked with '!!'.

Close-ups reveal wide, astonished eyes as text states 'BUT WHAT'S EVEN MORE ASTOUNDING IS...' followed by 'TRUE AGE : 57 YEARS.' The spiky-haired man reacts with shock, realizing 'IT CAN'T BE SEEN WITH ONLY THE EYES! BUT SHE DEVELOPED HER ABILITIES TO EXTREME LIMITS. I CAN UNDERSTAND IT!' Small panels show him holding scissors and observing from different angles. A tall silhouette of a perfectly proportioned nude adult body appears against a black background labeled 'A PERFECTLY TRAINED BODY!!' with SFX 'ハシャシ'. The man, now seated and serious, declares 'I'M INTERESTED IN A FIGHT.' and adds 'AS A WARRIOR...'.

Biscuit stares forward with wide eyes as an unseen speaker declares, "IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NOT A MERE CANNIBAL!" A hand gestures nearby with the reply "HMM..." Genthru stands ready, one arm extended, and shouts "THAT'S FINE!" Biscuit faces him in her frilled dress, both fighters poised. Close reaction shots show Gon, Killua, and others watching intently with tense expressions. In a sudden burst of motion, Biscuit lunges at Genthru, her body twisting with speed lines and impact marks as she strikes. Genthru recoils sharply, mouth open in a pained "SHII" sound effect while motion lines and "VZZZ" marks fill the panel.

Biscuit points directly at Genthru while he leans back in surprise, mouth open. She follows with a swift high kick, her leg extended and motion lines exploding around the strike with a large "BANG!!" effect. Genthru's body is sent flying violently across the panel, his head detached in a spinning blur with trailing speed lines as he tumbles through the air. Biscuit lands in a ready stance, fists raised, watching the result of her attack.

Biscuit delivers a devastating strike that sends Gon hurtling backward through the air amid a massive explosion of force and debris. Large motion lines radiate outward as the impact lands, with the Japanese characters for "break" and the sound effect "HASHOU!!" emphasizing the blow. Gon tumbles helplessly, arms flailing, while small rocks and dust scatter around him. In a close-up panel, Biscuit looks down with a calm expression and says, "YOU'RE LUCKY." A smaller panel shows Gon still mid-air, body twisted from the force. Biscuit adds, "IN A NET FIGHT, YOU WOULD BE DEAD BY NOW."

A simple line drawing of a woman's face and shoulders appears centered on an otherwise blank page. The woman has long dark hair parted in the middle, large eyes, and a neutral expression. Handwritten text at the bottom reads: "It doesn't look much like her, but it's Eiko Koike. I like her next character." A small note in the corner says "*TV idol".
