Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E40] Master's Dinner Weapon

"Be strong because you can survive to live."

*****************#####*****************

During the second lesson Kira's face looks pale. It seemed like the effects of the poison had already begun to react. But it looked strange, because Dusk had never experienced such an effect even though he had eaten a lot of poison.

"The detoxification of the body is very fast" said Dusk who began to understand the condition of his body.

"Miss, the toxins in your body can be detoxified quickly due to the influence of our agreement" Ristia exclaimed through a mind link between the two.

"Because I am an expert in poison and defense, so it is very easy for me to eliminate the poison in Miss's body. But it can also happen quickly because your body is already tied to me." Ristia explained.

"So so. Hmm, tolerable." muttered the indifferent Dusk.

"But Miss, still if you keep eating the poison then your body will not be stable, because the poison will block your blood flow and energy."

Dusk was silent for a while, he was still digesting the intent of administering the poison to his food. He understood that poison would kill anyone, but there was another reason behind it.

"Back being trash, is that their goal?" inner Dusk while glancing at Kira who looks like she wants to vomit.

"Ristia, where's the poison we've been dumping?" ask Dusk suddenly.

"Poisons? Actually the poison is not wasted, but rather converted into energy."

"What does that mean?" tanya Dusk curious.

"Look Miss, not all toxins that enter the body will damage the body itself, because there are also some toxins that will actually make the body healthy" explained Ristia.

"How can you?"

"It all depends on how much poison is used. Honestly, I have poison in my body, but it's not harmful to me but it's dangerous to others."

"You?" Dusk was surprised, he knew that Ristia was a poison master but he never knew that Ristia also had poison.

"What's wrong Miss? Is something wrong?" ristia asked confusedly.

"It turns out it's true, I don't know much about them," the inner Twilight realized his folly.

"No, try to explain again." Dusk resumed his mind link.

"There is a law that says if a man wants to be an expert in poison then he must have poison in his body."

"Then?"

"But many people misunderstand that word. The point of the saying is, if we want to be an expert then we have to know what real poison is, learn not only to hurt the tepati also treat."

Ristia paused for a moment, she tried to compose a good and correct sentence to convey to her lady.

"Unfortunately there are still many who think that poison is used as a tool to kill. They abuse poison for bad things. So that sentence gradually disappeared as time went on."

"If so, what does that 'poison in your body' mean?" tanya Dusk confused.

"Many misinterpret the phrase, thinking that the meaning of 'poison in your body' is that you have to be evil to be fully skilled in poison. But honestly it's wrong."

"..."

He kept quiet and started listening seriously.

"The real meaning of the sentence is its original form. They have to put poison in their bodies..."

Ristia was silent as she looked at the face of her miss who was starting to get more and more confused.

"You mean they should drink poison like that?"

"More or less like that, but that's not what it means?"

"So how?"

"Look, Miss, if a poison master were to be exposed to poison from his own isn't that so not funny?"

"Yes you're right."

"So to avoid that, he must have an immunity that can match that poison. And to have good immunity, he must use poison as his protector."

"Wait a minute, so you mean poison against poison?"

Ristia was silent, she was at a loss to explain what it was like. But he tried his best so that his lady could understand correctly.

"It's more or less like that, but it can't be said exactly either. Look Miss, I'm an expert in poison and I also have poison in the body."

"Continue?"

"If I am exposed to poison, then the poison in my body will get stronger and later the poison that enters it will be changed into new energy for my body. But there's a condition to be able to do that."

"What's the condition?"

"The main requirement is that the poison in the body must be stronger than the poison that enters. And the second is the most important is that our body must be strong to be able to withstand the pain when the poison gnaws the limbs. If we are weak then the poison will win and we will die." explained Ristia at length.

"The point is we have to have poison in the body to fight the poison that comes in so?" tanya Dusk.

"Well, I can say that." Ristia was confused to straighten out her lady's understanding from where. He was confused because what the lady said was not wrong but also not entirely true.

"Interesting" said Dusk without realizing what had just happened in the classroom.

"What's this?" tanya Dusk was confused as everyone looked panicked.

"..."

The twilight was only silent while looking around him in confusion.

"What is this?" inner Dusk as he looked at the crowd of students on his left side.

"I thought it was vomiting blood, and it was a lot of it." exclaimed the lazy student looking at the confused reaction of the Twilight face.

"Take it to the UKS immediately" shouted one of the students inside the mob.

"Gosh, what happened to him?" ask other students while Kira is being taken out of class.

"Isn't Kira okay this morning?" continue the other confusion.

"What did he eat during the break?" ask the students who are still standing in the crowd.

"Wait a minute, didn't Kira have lunch with Dusk!" yell one of them.

All the students in the class noticed Dusk. It's not that they don't know that the past of Dusk used to be a bad boy.

They knew how evil Dusk was from the rumors circulating in Duke Ari's family. That Dusk always bothered his sisters. He also often messed up at tea parties and made many other noble children injured.

"You, what did you give Kira during the break?" ask the students who have been glaring at Dusk.

"..."

"I knew you'd never change, from the beginning your nature was bad."

Dusk had not even said anything and they immediately came to the conclusion at will.

"Indeed a bad reputation is difficult to lose," the inner Dusk does not want to take a headache.

"Look at that, how relaxed he is. Instead of explaining he was sitting with his indifferent face."

"Basic criminals!" another shouted angry.

"Already, stop it. We don't know what happened to Kira. It's possible that he's been through something bad and hurt, so all of you don't blame Dusk for anything that's not certain."

Prof Lila was dizzy with the commotion. He instead of deliberately defending Dusk, he just did not want his class to be restless because of this kind of problem. After all Prof Lila also knew that Dusk did not understand the situation at all.

"Since the beginning he just kept quiet and did not say anything, after all if he was the culprit then he had been panicking since then." Prof Lila's inner self when he saw the indifferent reaction of Dusk.

"Professor don't defend him, we don't know how bad he is. Although he looks innocent like this, but the inside is not necessarily." shouted the student who did not want to lose.

"Why don't you ask Kira the truth? Why are you so stupid and reckless?" ask Dusk ketus.

"You...!"

One of the students wanted to shout at Dusk but he stopped when he saw Dusk's sharp gaze. The gaze was so intimidating that those who had originally seen it angrily now began to look down in fear.

Even Prof Lila was slightly unmoved from her position when she saw that deadly sharp gaze. His face was indeed plain but his nature and strength were far different.

"My instinct is to say that she's no ordinary girl. After all how could a girl who was only at level 3 have such great strength." Inner Prof Lila was scared as well as confused.

Not long after the bell rang, it was time for class to end. The twilight that did not want to take a headache immediately went from that place.

"You can go and ask him that now" continued Dusk before leaving the classroom.

After the departure of Dusk, some students fell from their seats. They looked relieved while taking a deep long breath.

"Finally free as well" muttered one of the students who was finally able to breathe fresh air.

****

"It's so upsetting!" shouted Dusk while throwing himself on the sofa.

"Who is actually poisoned and who is angry." grumbled Dusk annoyed.

"What's this?" asked Lucas who had been inside the old house.

"It's nothing," replied the twilight indifferently.

"Is there a problem at school?" ask Lucas again.

"..."

Dusk was silent as he watched Lucas' calm face yet somehow his eyes looked extremely angry.

"Let's just start the exercise," exclaimed Dusk as he walked away from the living room.

Lucas who was still in his place then glanced towards one of the trees that were on his right side. He looked at the tree with his flat face before nodding slowly.

"Please...!" screamed twilight as Lucas still did not move from his seat.

"Dear, I'm coming." replied Lucas, who immediately changed his expression with a warm smile.

"I'm disgusted to know, don't call dear." shouted Dusk with a face wanting to vomit.

"Haha...."

Lucas only laughed loosely when he saw the silly face of Dusk who did not want to be called dear.

"All right, let's start." exclaimed Lucas afterwards.
