Synopsis
As the battle between Gon and Gido continues, Gon struggles in the fight because of Gido's Nen tops. His Ten also gradually begins to fade. Then a hit from a top sends him outside the ring.

Gon realizes that Gido's tops weren't attacking him outside the ring. He gets an idea to attack Gido through ignoring his tops. But Gon fails because Gido uses another Nen ability called "Tornado Top", which involves him spinning like a top to improve his defense.

Due to Gon's willingness to fight, he conceals his presence without knowing it was Zetsu, one of the 4 main priciples of Nen. Wing on the other hand could not stop worrying about Gon's situation.

As the fight resumes, Gon dodges all of Gido's tops for a certain period of time,  but eventually ends up in a no-escape situation. He gets his arm broken and loses the match. Wing is upset on Gon's decision. He gives him a condition that he musn't practice and/or study Nen until he is fully recovered. Wing then wraps a "promise thread" on Gon's finger to remind him about it.

Killua asks Wing on how Gon felt during his match against Gido. He also adds that if ever Wing quits teaching them, they'll manage to find a new teacher or learn Nen by temselves. However, Wing plans to continue teaching the two.

Meanwhile, Kurapika searches for a job and is tested by the lady who looks up employers for hunters. Kurapika fails to find one because of his lack of knowledge about a certain technique. As he walks, a mysterious man passes him on the street and steals Kurapika's license without him noticing. The man later confronts Kurapika in a forest, on which Kurapika orders him to return his Hunter License. The man then dares Kurapika to get his license back from him. Later, Kurapika is seen down on both his knees being frustated about his failure in retrieving his license. The mysterious guy then gives back his license to him and tells him that the real exam is about to begin.
