## Background

### *Beast Complex*

In elementary school, Gon always hung out with his childhood friend Mog during recess hours. The two of them are very close, but once Gon was 10 years old they were separated to different buildings within the boarding school for security reasons. This fact made Gon conflicted, who saw this rule as stupid, because they kept him away from his friend. In the eyes of the other animals at the boarding school that was a friendship very frowned upon by everyone else. Despite that they continued to see each other and even tried to expose the carnivores of higher grades, to raise awareness with the younger carnivores so that the gap between carnivores and herbivores will be reduced and try to eliminate that rule that alienates them all, without solving the real problem. The higher grade classmates tried to convince Gon to join them to continue intimidating the herbivores, but Gon's strong conviction of justice was greater, and he wanted to be the strongest of all to protect his friend. Despite all his efforts to expose them, the event was hidden, the culprits were only given a month's suspension, and Mog and Gon were only given protection from now on. After this series of events, Mog confesses to Gon that at that moment during the fight, he was scary and that that was his true nature, despite the fact that he always shows himself to be kind and hides his potential. Because of this fact he believes that some day they could take different paths, but despite that it is not a reason to be sad.

### Drama Club arc

Two days before the drama club school play, Cherryton Academy holds an award ceremony honoring Louis and the drama club by Gon himself. Louis subsequently thanks him and gives a few words to the academy students and invites them to see the school play where he will show the "coexistence and prosperity" of the drama club.

### Meteor Festival arc

Two months since the Meteor Festival and the disappearance of Louis, Gon leaves the academy to attend the All-Organism Council Meeting where the principals of all the schools in the country gather. They were anxious to choose to the next Beastar from Cherryton Academy, a school that hadn't produced a Beastar in five years. At the student council meeting, the principals of the twelve most prestigious academies deposit a part of their body (hair, feathers, scales, etc.) in a jar with a special liquid as an oath not to disclose anything about the meeting. After starting the assembly, Gon nervously thanks the members of the council for introducing themselves, but is interrupted by one of the principals. He claims to Gon that even though Cherryton Academy is the school that generates the largest number of talents, it hasn't produced a single Beastar in five years, which is all very suspicious since the other schools produce a Beastar at least once a year. One of the principals comments that Louis, the best candidate for the title of Beastar abruptly left the academy and everyone asks Gon the reason for letting him go. Gon confronts the council and declares that he cares about his students, but has no intention of give him special treatment. He claims that although he is an outstanding student of his proud academy, Louis is still just a boy, exclaiming that a student's youth is a very harsh time - they are busy studying, falling in love, questioning their own worth, and learning to deal with their instincts. And despite that, the system dictates that they place an overwhelming burden on a single student, and he has always been against that. He declares that heroes are not found, they are born. Gon concludes his speech by declaring that his students are important to him, and he is fully intended on watching them grow. One of the principals takes his argument and claims that it is because of that attitude that there was a murder in his school, catching him off guard and causing all the principals to discuss the matter. He claims that while he is pretending that tragedy never happened, the culprit is still in school pretending to be a harmless student, so he proposes that the student who captures the culprit should be nominated as the next Beastar of Cherryton Academy. Gon is baffled while the other principals support and approve this motion, much to Gon's chagrin.

### Interspecies Relations arc

After approximately two months from the fight between Legoshi and Riz, and with the return of Louis to Cherryton Academy, Gon informs him that he was chosen by the student council to become the next Sublime Beastar and represent the school, because (from the public eye) he was the one who solved the murder case. However, Louis shows him his new prosthetic leg and rejects the title, suggesting that he should give it to the male who ate his foot. A bewildered Gon replies that this is impossible because Legoshi is no longer a part of the school, and although eating his foot helped him solve the case, there is just no way to make a juvenile predator the leader of the school. He reveals that the police wants to censor the incident because his naïve actions would be too much for the adults of the society to handle. Louis gleefully claims to be satisfied with the false story the police posted, stating that he does not intend to become the Beastar for something he didn't do, claiming that the title will not belong to him nor Legoshi. Gon states that he knew that he was going to say that and asks him to at least do his part as the graduate representative as the "honor student" despite his long absence. Soon after, the vice principal comments that in the end the school couldn't find a Sublime Beastar and Gon declares that it is very regrettable that Louis and Legoshi cannot be driving forces for society, but that is what makes their solving the case so wonderful.
