"Huh? You're saying Gon and Killua went to track the Phantom Troupe?" Airmid and Mellie exclaimed in surprise after returning from their outing and hearing Leorio's explanation.

Although they hadn't encountered the Phantom Troupe directly, Hisoka, whom they met during the Hunter Exam, was a member.

If they were to equate the Troupe's members to Hisoka, it would be like a "criminal gang composed of thirteen Hisokas."

The thought itself was terrifying.

Unlike Airmid and Mellie's astonishment, Mika, who had anticipated this, only felt a sense of resignation.

They no longer needed to worry about money.

All they needed to do was steadily increase their strength and wait for Battera's recruitment.

Why get involved with the Phantom Troupe?

Despite his inner complaints, Mika understood their motivations.

"It's because of Kurapika, isn't it?"

Leorio nodded slightly in response to Mika's question.

"Yes. Actually, the moment we saw them, Killua knew we couldn't take them down. But we still wanted to find their hideout."

"I figured as much." Mika shook his head.

This was typical of Gon.

Unlike protagonists in other hot-blooded manga, Gon Freecs, the protagonist of Hunter x Hunter, wasn't a paragon of virtue.

His personality was untamed and wild.

This might be attributed to his childhood spent playing with wild animals in the forest, without any human companions his own age.

As a result, Gon lacked a conventional sense of right and wrong.

His actions were driven by curiosity.

At the same time, Gon was fiercely loyal to his friends.

He would readily risk his life for their sake.

He had no fear of death.

So, upon learning that the individuals they were tracking were the Phantom Troupe, the very group that had massacred Kurapika's Familia, Gon was determined to capture them.

He was the epitome of a true friend.

"I wonder if Gon and Killua have been captured by the Phantom Troupe."

After a moment of thought, Mika turned towards the empty air beside him and said, ",bring out the Tracking Compass."

"Okay!"

Leorio was taken aback, hearing Mika speak to an invisible presence.

"What's going on?!"

"It's a sort of Nen beast," Mellie explained to Leorio. "Some Nen users can create unique lifeforms with their abilities to assist them in battle."

"Since these Nen beasts are made of aura, you won't be able to see Gabriel unless you learn 'Gyo.'"

"Gyo?"

Mellie sighed, seeing Leorio's continued confusion.

Unlike Gon, Killua, and Kurapika, who had diligently honed their Nen abilities after becoming Hunters, Leorio, whose primary motivation for becoming a Hunter was to avoid medical school tuition, had focused on his studies, aiming to enter a prestigious medical university.
