Five hours before martial law, Slakka accuses Kurapika of drowning the class in convenient information — then the story rewinds 48 hours to what the declaration rests on. Bill caught Oito alternating masculine and feminine pronunciations of 'Woble,' the same distinction as Shimanu/Shimano; under the chain she admitted it: the baby aboard is a boy, her sister's son, while her real daughter — who underwent the Seed Urn ceremony — is off-ship with the sister, whereabouts unknown even to Oito. Back in the present only Slakka quits, and Cleapatro buries Beyond under his 1,047 dismissed lawsuits.
- DiscoveryDay 10CanonicalThe Woble swap
Flashback, two days earlier: Bill catches Oito alternating masculine and feminine pronunciations of 'Woble' — the same distinction as Shimanu/Shimano. Under the Dowsing Chain, Oito admits the baby aboard is a boy, her younger sister's son. Her real daughter Woble, who underwent the Seed Urn ceremony, is off-ship with the sister, location unknown even to Oito.

- Oito's pronunciation trick let her pass every chain interrogation without lying
- Neither the boy aboard nor the absent girl properly satisfies the contest's terms
- DecisionDay 12CanonicalThe class weighs the announcement; Slakka walks
Given until 10 a.m. to decide, every student returns except Slakka. Kurapika reassesses: Benjamin's threat reduced, the higher princes likely to assume the real Woble is hidden aboard, the alliances with Zhang Lei and Tubeppa intact — and speaking with Beyond may now be the fastest route to the curse.

The magistrate arrives at Beyond's cell with boxes: all 1,047 suits he filed as plaintiff, thrown out. Kanzai and Saiyu screen documents while prisoner and judge bicker about Kakin's idea of human rights — a comic scene seeding contact between Beyond and the court.
