The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Phantasm

A door of the room opened, as fragrant as a potion so stinging. As usual, when he first entered, Leo had closed his nose because it really was not so resistant to this smell. Moreover, Araka who always follows Leo, she also always closes her nose and mouth.

“Mr Leo.”

“Kakak.”

Leo could see Hime and Yuuki working hard. Moreover, Hime, Leo really salutes him because he is always excited when he takes care of potions like this. As for Yuuki, even though he was here, it seemed that he was busy with his own world.

“Yuuki, what are you doing?” Ask Leo.

“Ah big brother, I just made an illusionary poison. I gave it the name ‘Phantasma’ I just tried it myself, and it made me hallucinate heavily. And even difficult to distinguish hallucinations with reality.” Yuuki. “For the material itself, I actually keep it a secret big brother, because this material is not so rare at all and can be used by people at any time for ugliness. I don't want that to happen.” 

Leo who heard that, he was really very proud of Yuuki. Yuuki's ability after learning alchemy from Hime, completely increased. Even he can create poison which is the opposite of Hime's work of healing potions. Especially after hearing from Yuuki himself that he would not use the potion for infamy.

Yuuki and Araka, their ability to accept learning is really very fast. Even Araka herself, she was already able to play sword very nicely, coupled with Yuuki's agile ability to fight the enemy directly.

Their battle combinations also looked very good. So Leo himself is really very proud because their development during the week is really very fast. Moreover, after Yuuki managed to create his own poison, making the combination of the fight between Yuuki and Araka likely impenetrable.

The illusion herb that Yuuki calls ‘Phantasma’ looks so good according to Leo. Even Leo himself almost vomited blood as Yuuki made himself an object for his own research. So, if used in their combination, it will definitely make the enemy a little unable to wart.

Hime shook his head and touched his forehead. Then he said, “It was really very troublesome when Yuuki was exposed to the effects of his own potion master. He dazed and looked around in confusion. Luckily, I made her aware by checking Lily's potion when I found out that she was making poisonous items.”

“What do you see Yuuki?” Leo asked Yuuki.

“I stay here, but what I see is that big brother Hime there's a lot that makes me confused. Even I did not know if the poison potion was successful or not? moreover, my body condition also cannot move. But actually the illusion is created randomly, it does not have to be his victim to see things become more” Yuuki said proudly even though he was a victim of his own ingredients. “Emm, if brother is curious, I can tell you what material.”

“Isn't that a secret you said?”

“There are only Hime's older brother, Leo's older brother and Araka. So you are not strangers to me. After all, Araka also already knew it when she asked continuously on telepathy.” Yuuki.

“The material is, black lotus leaves, golden banana roots, and ear cider flowers. I extracted all those ingredients into one. And created the herb.” Explain it by explaining.

“It's disgusting.” Araka Protests.

Leo rubbed Araka's hair gently before she told Araka more deeply. “You must get used to the potion your brother will make. It will perfectly match the combination of the fight you will make.”

“But ...” Araka wants to protest again. But after that he could only sigh and nod so quietly.

“Ah yes, after this I want to see your combination. Yuuki, feel free to throw the poison you made at me.”

Yuuki was a little surprised, his face looked sour as he was told to do the reckless thing of throwing the potion at Leo during the training. It is clear that Yuuki wants to reject him, even Araka who seems to want to show a face of protest.

The thing is, he doesn't know if there's a no-no. And of course, he didn't want to hurt Leo very badly either. Moreover, the supply of Lily flower potion was only a few and it was used as a reserve for the villagers of Griefhaven.

Hime waved his hand, “Happy fun.”

......

In the training room, Leo did not carry his sword at all. In front of him, there was Yuuki who hooked the potion on his waist, as well as putting up the horses to get ready against Leo.

Likewise with Araka, he raised his sword and put up a horse. His gaze was really sharp and prepared to fight Leo as a training ground without the slightest hesitation.

Leo sighed, he then swung his hand to give a cue to get ready.

“Start!” Leo gave a warning so they could start attacking him.

And sure enough, both of them seemed to run as fast as the wind.

First, Yuuki attacks Leo right in front of Leo himself. He swung a few punches and kicks to get Leo to focus more on him. As for Araka, she moved backwards, pushing her wooden sword towards Leo's back.

Leo considers that their technique has been done very often. So, Leo can read it and can avoid it continuously so easily.

Even so, Leo himself was quite surprised when their battle patterns slightly changed. Where they now spin or circle Leo continuously very quickly while launching an attack from each of them.

This makes Leo lift his mouth and gape because he has difficulty moving as fast as the shadow. Especially those who attack from all sides.

Not wasting any time, Yuuki took his poison using an esper without him taking it directly. What he did was push it right on Leo's face.

It's just, less than a few inches and Leo is about to get ready. Araka also used an esper ability to pull the potion. While the position of the sword changes in Yuuki's hand easily.

Araka retreated backwards a few meters while throwing the Phantasma. Which makes Leo a little aware and almost surprised by the speed of esper carried out by Araka. While in front of him, Yuuki was swinging the wooden sword very quickly.

Leo extended his hand forward, so that he could grab Yuuki's wrist as he slightly used the sword amateurs. And what's the problem right now, about Araka who's already throwing Phantasma poison right at Leo. Leo himself was a little worried.

If Yuuki was really an enemy, he could pull Yuuki's wrist and make him a shield for Leo. The one who was poisoned was Yuuki himself. However, Leo would not do that to Yuuki. Moreover, the glass element in the potion will definitely hurt him.

What he did then was to think quickly for a few milliseconds before deciding.

“I surrender!”

Almost a few inches of the poison hit Leo's body, the bottle of poison stopped immediately, which Araka then pulled back using her esper ability.

Defeating Leo, obviously from the faces of Yuuki as well as Araka, they actually shouted with great pleasure. Even his face was so cheerful as Leo confessed to giving up in front of them.
