To Masadora...? (いざマサドラへ⋯？, Iza Masadora e...?) is the 138th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.
Synopsis[]
After subduing the player, Biscuit turns around and tells Gon and Killua to come out, asking them if they saw what happened. They say that everything was a blur until he was upside down in the air, with both realizing just how strong their new teacher is. Biscuit compares him to a game character and says that if they were able to convert him into a card, he would be around "D" rank. They both stand motionless, and she stresses that they would have been killed if they had been alone, reminding them that it's the second time they have escaped death. Gon addresses her as Miss Krueger, but Biscuit says that just her first name is fine (or even Bisky). Killua says that "hag" works too, causing Biscuit to send him flying with another punch.
Gon asks her why she came to Greed Island, and she replies that it was obviously for the reward, but also because she is searching for a rare gem that only exists in the game: Blue Planet. Gon says that while they want to clear Greed Island, he is also looking for his father who created the game with his friends. After Gon gives Ging's name, Biscuit immediately recognizes it and remembers Netero telling her that Ging is among the top five Nen users in the world. Gon asks if she can delay looking for the gem so that she can train them in Nen, and Biscuit reminds him that she already offered, but stresses that she will be more relentless than Wing.
Biscuit designating the arena
As Gon and Killua agree to the training, the hurt player regains consciousness, and Biscuit orders him to give her all his cards. She offers him a second chance, saying that if he can evade Gon and Killua's attacks for two weeks, she will let him go. But if he gets hit and either collapses or is unable to stand, she will kill him. The player revels in the chance to do whatever he wants to them as long as he doesn't get hit. Biscuit adds a rule that he has to stay in the area enclosed by a rock wall, clarifying that if he makes an escape, she will kill him. Biscuit tells Gon and Killua that they're not allowed to leave either, saying that they will receive punishment if they do or if they're unable to defeat him within the two weeks.
Biscuit recognizes the man, calling him Binolt and saying that he is both a Bounty Hunter and a bounty. Exiting the crater, she adds that he enjoys human flesh, especially from women 20 years old, but as he readies his scissors, he clarifies that it's specifically 22. Sitting on the crater's edge, she gives them the signal to start, but Binolt kneels down and remains still. Biscuit berates her new students and tells them that he's trying to heal his wounds. Killua slowly approaches and then darts toward him, but Binolt swings his scissors and causes Killua to leap back. A small wound appears on his cheek, and Killua realizes that he would have lost his right eye if Binolt's wounds weren't hindering him.
Gon using strategy to force Binolt to move
Gon tries to find an opening, but Binolt's scissors keep him back as well. Killua considers using his electricity, but decides against it since he doesn't know how effective it would be on people (and adding that he hasn't recharged recently). He tells Gon that they will work in six-hour shifts, with one of them resting while the other pelts him with rocks and keeps watch. Binolt is confident that he can recover with that level of rest, saying to himself that after he goes a week without sleep and his wounds heal, he will kill them. The use of rocks gives Gon an idea, and he slowly walks toward the rockface, focusing his aura around his fist and punching it. He grabs one of the large rocks and uses it as a shield as he leaps toward Binolt, who quickly dodges out of the way. Gon knows that this is the best strategy against Binolt's scissors, and Biscuit agrees that they weren't going to win if they tried to outlast him.
