September 7th: Part 1 to September 10th: Part 1 (9
Synopsis[]
Gon focuses his aura around his fist, but maintains it only for a few seconds before quickly tiring out. He details the application of the principles of Nen in the technique, and after saying that he is only practicing with his normal aura, he starts to wonder how much power he can get once he starts using Ren. But he remembers Wing's advice to stay patient and decides to master the Ten-Gyo-Zetsu sequence first. Continuing his electricity training in the other room, Killua hears Gon finally making progress.
Meanwhile, Leorio is reading a newspaper and learns that Battera has won another copy of Greed Island in the auction and has spent a total of over 
200 billion. He also reads some rumors about the reason behind Battera's obsession with the game. Kurapika calls out to Leorio, and Leorio asks if Kurapika is sure that he does not want to tell Gon and Killua that he's leaving. Kurapika says that every minute of their training counts, and he then bids Leorio farewell. Leorio approaches Melody and tells her to watch over Kurapika since he seems to trust her. Melody says that Leorio is very uplifting, and among the people she met in the city, he has the nicest heartbeat. She also tells Leorio that he is fit to become a teacher or a doctor and recommends a change of career. Leorio then says that he will think about it, and decides that he should continue studying.
Gon and Killua continuing to train
Gon and Killua are shown continuing their training, Leorio studying, and Zepile participating at a local auction. Battera also keeps up his wins by acquiring another Greed Island cartridge at the auction. Milluki is annoyed with this, as he figures that Battera knows his budget limit.
Leorio goes back to where Gon and Killua are and tells them about Kurapika's departure. Zepile walks in and tells Gon that he made their 80 million into 100 million as promised to get back Gon's Hunter License. Gon praises Zepile, and Zepile says that it isn't hard with 80 million as seed money. He adds that he did the best he could in five days, as Gon entrusted his entire fortune to him. Leorio and Gon express their gratitude, and Zepile says that there's no need because he kept 50% of the profits, as stated in their contract. Gon calculates that Zepile earned 40 million in five days. Zepile says that he is a pro in this line of work and they can contact him anytime if they need him.
Battera winning the remaining Greed Island copies at the auction
After they bid their farewells, Zepile admits to himself that he was just showing off. In truth, he only made 15 million, so he needed to make an illegal 5 million loan with his organs as collateral. He regrets promising an earlier date than Gon had asked, but says that he couldn't ask for an extension after seeming so confident. He decides not to make counterfeits anymore and just use seed money to deal in antiques, thinking that he should have borrowed another million. He admires the Hunter License because a pawnshop chain immediately offered 100 million in cash for it, and thinks that the license can sell for 100 times as much. Then he finally decides to become a Pro Hunter to sell his license, confident that he can live off the interest for life. As he runs off, he says to himself that he should come up with a strategy soon for the Hunter Exam. While Gon and Killua are still training, Battera has managed to win all seven copies of Greed Island, and a rumor spreads that he has spent almost half of his fortune. A reporter announces that the tryouts will take place that same day at the Southernpiece Auction venue. Elsewhere, Milluki finishes eating and decides to go back home.

Trivia[]
- In the Viz translation, although the first cover page correctly displays "Chapter 124", the second is incorrectly numbered as "Chapter 113". Furthermore, the chapter title ("September 7th-10th: Part 1") is a shortened version of the full title ("September 7th: Part 1 to September 10th: Part 1").
