Moro eventually followed Biscuit to a room.
But it wasn't Biscuit's room—it was his own luxurious suite on the 244th floor.
As for Kastro and Callista, who had been shaken to their core by today's events, Biscuit had kindly dismissed them.
However, despite their shock at Biscuit's overwhelming strength, they didn't immediately obey her request.
It wasn't until Moro shot them a look, signaling them to leave, that they reluctantly departed.
Inside the lavishly decorated, spacious room—
Biscuit took a casual glance around the space before, without hesitation, opening all her aura nodes. Her petite frame instantly radiated a surge of Nen.
In the next moment, the surging aura, like flickering flames, condensed into a humanoid shape, which quickly materialized into a beautiful young woman.
She had long pink hair, delicate facial features, and soft green eyes full of warmth.
"This is my Nen ability—Magic Beautician, Cookie."
Biscuit activated her ability the moment they entered the room.
Before Moro could react, she began introducing it:
"She's an expert in all kinds of massage techniques—full-body massage, meditation massage, rolling massage, acupressure massage—you name it. But her greatest ability is transforming aura into a special lotion that, when applied to the skin, rejuvenates and enhances beauty."
"..."
Moro had mentally prepared himself when he sensed Biscuit's aura, but he still feigned shock naturally.
Biscuit placed her hands on her hips and proudly asked, "Well? Pretty impressive, huh?"
"It's amazing."
Moro praised her without hesitation, giving a thumbs-up in admiration.
Satisfied with his reaction, Biscuit pointed toward the large bed in the room. "You got lucky today. Lie down and let Miss Cookie help with your bruises—don't embarrass yourself at the tournament."
"Oh."
Moro responded, suppressing a smile.
This old lady, who loved acting young, enjoyed teasing others, but deep down, she was quite thoughtful.
Moro lay down on the bed.
Cookie knelt beside him, her hands glowing with soft pink aura as she gently massaged the bruises and swelling on his face.
Moro immediately felt a tingling sensation—numbing yet slightly painful.
He had assumed Cookie's ability was primarily for relaxation and skincare, but he hadn't expected it to also help with blood circulation and swelling.
Biscuit observed from the side.
While Cookie was completely useless in battle, her ability combined traits from the Enhancement, Manipulation, and Conjuration Nen categories. It was a perfect embodiment of the Mountain Glyph training philosophy of the Shingen-Ryu martial arts style.
The ability to relieve fatigue and reduce swelling was an application of Enhancement Nen.
Of course, if the injuries were more severe, even Cookie wouldn't be able to help.
Although Biscuit had happily beaten Moro up earlier, she had been precise with her strikes, ensuring that the injuries remained within Cookie's treatment range.
Under Cookie's massage, Moro's facial swelling gradually faded.
A technique that improves blood circulation, reduces swelling, and relieves fatigue—
For daily training, this was nothing short of a god-tier ability.
Moro silently marveled at it.
After a while—
His face was completely healed.
Seeing this, Biscuit dismissed Cookie and then took a seat on a single sofa not far away, crossing her legs with arms folded.
"At first, I thought your second ability was just an enhanced sensory technique based on 'En,' but then the chains and marks appeared, which completely overturned my initial theory. Your ability is clearly much more intricate."
Biscuit calmly analyzed as she watched Moro get up from the bed.
"You're also very clever—you knew I'd hold back, so even when I was hitting you, you never turned off your ability to reinforce your aura defense."
Pausing for a moment, Biscuit scrutinized Moro before flashing a knowing smile.
"So tell me—why did you insist on keeping your ability active under those circumstances?"
"The moment you entered this room, you immediately activated Magic Beautician Cookie and even explained its abilities in detail. That wasn't just to show off, was it?"
Instead of answering right away, Moro asked calmly, "Was it to lure me into voluntarily revealing the secrets of my own ability?"
"You really are sharp, Moro."
Biscuit sighed, her eyes locking onto his. "But if you don't want to talk, that's fine—I was just curious, anyway."
"I don't mind sharing."
Moro suddenly released his aura and activated Star Convergence.
In an instant, shimmering specks of light floated around him like a galaxy, encircling his body.
"If it's you, Biscuit, then I don't mind revealing it at all."
"Hm?"
Biscuit raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, squinting at him. "Wasn't it just two days ago that you were testing me?"
"That's precisely why I understand something now."
Moro continued, his expression unreadable. "That is—Biscuit, your heart is as beautiful as your face."
"(**)"
Hearing that, Biscuit instinctively sat up straighter, clasping her hands together as her green eyes sparkled with delight.
"Well, well, look at that! You actually have a charming side!"
"..."
Moro avoided her overly enthusiastic gaze and began explaining his ability.
"My ability is called Star Convergence, and its effect is…"
With a steady tone, he provided a detailed explanation.
After hearing Moro's description, Biscuit finally understood why he had insisted on maintaining his ability even while being beaten.
And why he had managed to refine his combat techniques so quickly—adjusting his movements and habits in just a few days, something that normally took fighters years to accomplish.
So that's how it works…
Biscuit's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "I used to think Magic Beautician was the world's most practical ability, but your Star Convergence is pretty damn useful too."
"Not at all."
Moro responded calmly, "Your ability is still far more versatile."
"Hehe."
Biscuit lifted her chin with pride, as if to say, Of course! What's more important than beauty and youth?
Then, shifting into a serious tone, she focused on Moro again.
"So, you really don't plan to use Nen in the Martial Arts Olympics? You're using this time for combat training to strengthen your raw skills instead?"
"Yes. If you're willing to help, my chances will improve significantly."
Moro answered honestly.
Biscuit rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
Honestly…
She couldn't help but feel a little bitter about it.
As a martial artist, she had trained tirelessly for years to refine her skills.
Yet, Moro could achieve similar results in just days, thanks to Star Convergence.
Most fighters in her position would probably start questioning whether their years of dedication had been the right choice.
But was Star Convergence the real problem?
No.
The real issue was Moro himself.
There was only one Moro in the world, and only one ability like his.
…Wait a minute.
Biscuit's gaze suddenly sharpened as she stared into Moro's eyes.
Not only did he have this broken ability, but he also possessed a powerful exorcist skill.
Most importantly—
This guy was still ridiculously young!
"What's wrong?"
Moro suddenly felt like he was being stared down by a wild beast and instinctively took two steps back.
