Chaos unfolded in the stands, each person reacting in their own way. But unlike the ordinary spectators, Biscuit remained calm. She wasn't focused on the spectacle or the emotions running rampant through the crowd. She was analyzing. Just now, Shaq had been completely immobilized, trapped within that overwhelming pink aura. And then—he was torn apart. There was no doubt about it. That had been a power far beyond Shaq's level.

Biscuit frowned slightly. Even with all her strength, she could have ripped Shaq apart with her bare hands, but doing it remotely like that? That was something even she couldn't pull off. Her sharp eyes caught a fleeting image, just for a brief moment—a humanoid figure standing beside Larry. Elegant. White and green in color. A being formed entirely from aura. That was the source. That creature had been the one to unleash the overwhelming psychic force. "A Nen Beast… with telekinesis?" Biscuit mused, tilting her head slightly.

The pink aura, the sheer overwhelming control—it was a Release-type ability. Larry had just displayed something far beyond the usual standard for Nen combatants. "Not bad... not bad at all." A smirk played on Biscuit's lips. Then again, she wasn't exactly surprised. This was the same young man who had taken down the members of the Seven Deadly Sins. She had already expected Shaq to lose, but the way he lost had caught her off guard.

Biscuit had assumed Larry would either flatten the entire battlefield with an overwhelming attack or simply pinpoint Shaq's exact location and eliminate him with surgical precision. But instead—he had taken control of Shaq's own body and ripped him in half on the spot. That level of decisiveness. That raw power Brutal Efficient And utterly terrifying.

Of course, Biscuit felt no sympathy for Shaq. This was the Sky Arena. Everyone who stepped into that ring had already accepted the possibility of death. Shaq himself had moved at Larry with the full intent to kill. He had made his choice. And he had paid for it.

The referee, still slightly shaken, finally snapped back to reality and announced the match's result. "Winner: Larry!" Without waiting for the audience's reaction, Larry turned and casually walked away, disappearing down the corridor he had entered from. And just like that, it was over.

Biscuit, still sitting in the stands, narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. 'This young man... He was worth keeping an eye on.' She needed to have a conversation with him. With a small smile, Biscuit vanished from her seat.

After his victory over Shaq, Larry's name spread like wildfire. The entire Sky Arena was buzzing with talk about him, and soon, his fame reached beyond the arena—spreading throughout the entire city. Now, whenever people mentioned Larry, they immediately thought of Shaq—the Floor Master who had been torn apart in an instant. His battle had become the stuff of legend.

By defeating a renowned Floor Master so effortlessly, Larry had turned Shaq into nothing more than a stepping stone in his own rise to fame. His reputation skyrocketed overnight, and his growing fanbase only continued to expand. Before this, Larry had already gained recognition within the world of Nen users, especially after the Solvren Ruins incident. His feats had solidified his name among experts, but it was still limited to those within the Hunter and Nen-user circles.

Now, however, things were different. After his time in Sky Arena, Larry had become a household name—not just among Nen users, but among ordinary people as well. His record-breaking achievements only added to his mystique. 

On the very first day of his arrival at Sky Arena, he had climbed straight to the 200th floor. Shortly after, he had killed Shaq, one of the arena's Floor Masters. These incredible feats, combined with his undeniable strength, mysterious abilities, and striking looks, turned Larry into a phenomenon.

People couldn't stop talking about him. His popularity grew exponentially, and with it, the anticipation for his future matches reached new heights. His next Floor Master challenge was bound to attract an even larger audience, as more and more people were eager to witness his battles firsthand.

However, while the rest of the world was busy discussing his rise to fame, Larry himself was dealing with something else entirely. Right now, he sat at a table, watching a certain little "girl" with an expression of pure helplessness. Across from him, Biscuit Krueger was completely mesmerized, her wine-red eyes gleaming with fascination. "Ohohohohoho... So this is Water Glaze, one of the Seven Most Beautiful Gems in the world?" Her voice was filled with excitement, her small hands carefully cradling a glass of water, treating it like the rarest treasure. "It's so beautiful!" She gazed at the water crystal with absolute adoration, her expression one of pure admiration. In her eyes, nothing else in the world existed at that moment—only Water Glaze, the stunningly clear and radiant gemstone. She was so obsessed that a tiny drop of drool glistened at the corner of her mouth.

To any outsider, she would look like a problem child with a gem obsession. Sitting across from her, Larry let out a sigh. 'This was Biscuit, alright.' As someone deeply familiar with hxh history, he naturally knew who she was. 

Biscuit Krueger—a veteran Nen user of the Hunter Association, a master of the Shingen-Ryu school, and an extremely skilled Transformation-type Nen user. Despite appearing like a petite, doll-like girl, Biscuit was actually a muscle-bound warrior in her fifties who used her Nen to maintain a more "appealing" form. Certain words were off-limits when speaking to her. Calling her a "muscular woman" or "old lady" was asking for death.

Larry had even heard about people who had never watched Hunter x Hunter, assuming "cute little Biscuit" on the cover was the heroine of the story. They had no idea what they were in for. Beyond her deceptive appearance, Biscuit was an elite Hunter specializing in gemstones. She held the Two-Star Hunter rank in the Gem Hunter category, dedicating much of her time to collecting rare and valuable gems from all over the world.

But her interests weren't limited to gemstones. She had two other major passions in life Beauty magazines…And "polishing rough gems." Of course, in this case, "polishing rough gems" didn't refer to actual stones. It meant training talented fighters.

Biscuit had a habit of identifying raw, untapped potential, seeing these individuals as "unpolished diamonds." She would then take them under her wing, train them, and refine them into true warriors. Her training methods were extreme, but for those who survived her brutal regimen, the results spoke for themselves.

Larry had been genuinely surprised when she suddenly appeared before him. He hadn't expected Biscuit to seek him out. But after listening to her explanation, he finally understood why she was here. Biscuit's obsession with gems was common knowledge.
