WITH HER FACE flushed, Yoshiko tried using her winter magic only to have it not work.

"You can't use your winter magic like that," Ryuko told her. "It's clear you have a fever so stay put, okay?"

Yoshiko pouted.

I hate staying put.

"Same,"

"Hey kid, were you watching that?" Yami asked.

"Y-yes, sir!" Asta said.

"Great. Try doing it now,"

"Yessir... Wha...! Like I could do?!"

"Could you not yell please?" Ryuko asked. "I've got really sensitive ears and so does my sister,"

"Sorry,"

"So want to try doing it?" Yami asked.

"Oh, yeah right! Like I could do something like that!"

"Huh? Who do you think you're talking to?" Yami asked darkly as he grabbed Asta's head.

"Huh?" Asta asked.

"If I say 'do it', you do it," Yami said. "You'll turn into a big man like that,"

Best motivator: Yami Sukehiro. Any objections?

Ryuko stared at Valtos.

"You're nervous aren't you?" He asked.

"What?" Valtos asked.

"Your breathing is a little... irregular? I don't know but it wasn't like that before. You're also sweating a little despite not doing anything. Your eyes are squinted just a little as if you're analysing Yami but it twitches a little so you're actually nervous and not analysing him," Ryuko said.

"You can figure out that much in seconds? Weird," Yami said.

"I've been told I'm good at reading people's emotions," Ryuko told him. Then he turned to Valtos. "Am I right? Well, whatever you say doesn't matter since I can tell when people are lying but..." his eyes glowed, "your silence speaks just as loudly as your voice,"

"I see... so this is the power of dark magic. Not only that but what you can do, Ryuko," Licht said. "I'm impressed,"

Ryuko blushed. "Shuddup,"

[Light Recovery Magic: Healing Light Particles]

"What...? Recovery magic too?" Asta asked.

Yoshiko blinked in shock.

"I haven't seen many of them beside the dragon tribe but I hear guys loved by mana are able to use all sorts of magic types," Yami said.

"Maybe we should..." Ryuko muttered.

"Never mind that. Just get ready," Yami said turning his attention towards Asta.

"No, listen! I really can't! Not right in the middle of a fight. I don't have magic anyway!" Asta said trying to reason with their captain.

"For this, you don't actually need magic!" Ryuko said. "Yami, can I explain it to him?"

"You better pay me 500 yuls afterwards," Yami said.

Ryuko grinned. "I'll give you my next payment!"

"Deal,"

"Okay, listen... Asta was it?"

"Yes sir,"

"Okay, Asta. The way Yami reads the attack is by something called 'Ki'. It's specialised in his hometown but people in the dragon tribe use a similar skill like this,"
