After Lebo woke up, he found Jane making potions.
Tools were everywhere. Bottles, liquids, small containers.
She finished one potion, then touched it.
Boom.
It changed color.
Ams stared. "Woah… how did she do that, Lebo?"
Lebo watched calmly. "She was already smart before her Uniqe. She knew how to make potions."
He crossed his arms.
"Her Uniqe made it stronger. Now she doesn't just make potions… she crafts them."
Ams tilted his head. "Crafts?"
Lebo nodded.
"She can use water as a base. The more she makes potions, the better they become."
He paused.
"And she can craft potions even normal humans can't make… because of her Uniqe."
Ams's eyes widened. "So they level up?"
"Something like that," Lebo said. "Some become… true potions. Stronger, faster, harder to resist."
Ams grinned. "That's actually crazy…"
Adam walked in.
"Woah… what potions are you making, Jane?"
Jane said, "Strength potions."
Adam grinned. "Nice. Let's head to Ronan's dojo."
Jane nodded. "Yeah. Let's get Lebo."
Jane turned—
"BOO."
"AH—!"
She jumped back.
Adam and Lebo burst out laughing.
Jane hit Lebo.
"Oh no you don't scare me like that!"
Lebo laughed, running. "You just screamed—"
Jane chased him. "GET BACK HERE!"
After a while, they calmed down.
They changed clothes and went to the dojo.
Ronan was cooking.
Zeliex was waiting.
Ronan looked up. "You came early."
Adam smirked. "Of course."
They ate.
After eating—
Ronan stood.
"Today… is a test."
They entered a huge room.
Walls everywhere, like a maze.
Adam looked around. "Wow… this place is big."
Ronan nodded. "Today's test… sneaky attacks."
Ams tilted his head. "Sneaky…?"
Ronan raised his hand.
"But first… finish what you started yesterday."
Ams smiled. "Come on, Ronan! Jane didn't fight yesterday."
Jane smirked. "…Finally. I've been waiting."
Ronan nodded.
"First match… Lebo vs Jane."
Lebo sighed. "Can we skip? I'm already getting cooked…"
Jane smiled. "Good. You know what's coming."
Ronan said, "Three falls = loss."
"Loser eats a lemon."
Ams laughed. "That's evil."
Jane asked, "And the winner?"
Ronan smiled. "…Cake."
Lebo froze.
"…Yeah. I'm eating that lemon."
Jane removed her potion belt and threw it aside.
"I'll fight with my hands."
Ams blinked, then grinned.
"…Wait."
He floated forward a bit.
"You're throwing away your potions??"
Jane replied calmly, "Yes."
Ams laughed.
"Oh nah—this is easy!"
He pointed at Lebo.
"Bro, you might actually win!"
Lebo didn't laugh.
"…Ams."
Ams smirked. "She nerfed herself!"
Adam looked at Jane, then smirked.
"Oh… she's playing it easy with them."
Zeliex shook his head slightly.
"No… she's making it harder."
Adam frowned. "What?"
Zeliex looked at him.
"Her Uniqe doesn't need tools."
"If she finds water, she can craft a potion directly."
He paused, then added:
"The human body is around 70% water…"
His eyes shifted to Ams.
"…and slime bodies are closer to 90%."
Silence.
Ams froze mid-air.
"…Wait…"
He slowly looked at himself.
"…I'm 90% potion material??"
Zeliex nodded calmly.
"Exactly."
Zeliex continued:
"The more she crafts, the stronger the potions become."
"But if she uses pure water with no materials…"
"…it's weaker than a normal potion."
Ams blinked. "…Wait… weaker?"
Zeliex nodded.
"Still works… just not at full strength."
He finished:
"Four seconds of contact… and she turns that water into a potion."
Ams slowly floated backward.
"…WAIT—"
Adam looked at Lebo.
"…Yeah. You're done."
Ronan raised his hand.
"Begin."
Lebo attacked first.
Gravity pushed from a distance.
He stayed far, so he wouldn't affect himself.
Jane dodged calmly, walking forward.
Ams rushed in.
"I GOT HER—"
Lebo shouted:
"NO AMS—DON'T GET CLOSE!"
Ams: "I'M FINE—"
Too late.
Jane grabbed him.
1… 2… 3… 4—
Ams froze.
"…Wait—"
Then—
He dropped.
Sleeping.
Jane let go.
"Sleeping potion."
Silence.
Lebo stood alone.
"…Great."
Gravity formed around him as he got into position.
Jane stepped forward slowly, smiling.
Lebo took a breath.
"…Come on, sis."
