I went to the usual forest near Kuoh Academy with Kurotabo and Kubinashi to train Matoi. With Kurotabo here, I believe I could learn it faster compared to learning it by myself.

We were in the clearing where I trained Shirone the way to use Senjutsu. Talking about Shirone, I didn’t see her in a few days already. Kuroka said that she was in the Mansion in Kanto, and it was like that since Rias attacked us.

I thought that she needed time to be alone, that was why I need to focus on my own training right now.

I looked at Kurotabo who stood in front of me, “So, can you explain this Matoi technique first?”

“First, Matoi was a technique that was created by our leader, Nura Rihan-sama, the second head of Nura Clan.”

I nodded my head in understanding and listened to Kurotabo's explanation with a serious face. Kubinashi was also looking at Kurotabo and heard his explanation. Maybe he wanted to know more about Matoi too.

“This technique was only possible because our leader was only a part of youkai. In other words…”

“Only part youkai could use this technique. A full youkai couldn't use this technique.” I finished Kurotabo’s word and he nodded his head.

“Correct, Matoi is a technique that was created because our leader understands his short-coming. His human form limits his power greatly. While he was still able to use fear in his human form, his strength was only half of his youkai form, no, it was even less than that.”

I touched my chin with my right hand when I heard Kurotabo’s explanation. I was weaker in my Human Form too, but it was not that bad. I still had around three-quarters of my strength or at least around that much. It was true that I can’t fully utilize my Fear in Human Form though. I can’t use Shin Kyouka Suigetsu or Shin Meikyo Shisui while I was in my Human Form.

“Let me continue my explanation. This technique needed trust between individuals. The one who used this technique, let's say that you used this technique, Riku-sama. You need to trust your back to the other party, or in this case your subordinate. While your subordinate need to trust their Fear to you.”

I know that part. I remembered it because I love the technique, and I was also trying to re-create the technique myself when I hadn’t met with Nura Clan youkai yet.

Because I showed no reaction, Kurotabo continued, “This technique wasn’t called Matoi for nothing. It literally meant the name, Demon Clad. The subordinates will entrust their Fear to their Leader. In turn, the Leader would be able to use the subordinate’s special ability. In my case, you will be able to use my Anki Kuroenbu (Dance of the black weapon).”

My serious face turned into a big smile as I looked at Kurotabo with my right eye closed, “That was interesting. Is there anything that I need to know?”

Kurotabo nodded his head and raised his hand with his index and middle finger pointed to the sky.

“This technique had 2 methods. The first one is Izutsu, this method includes taking the subordinates Fear entirely and unleashing it in one attack. This method had a destructive attack, but it lacked defense. When you are using this method, you can’t use your Fear.”

“So I can’t use Meikyo Shisui or Kyouka Suigetsu. But I was able to use the Fear of the one who does Matoi with me.”

“That’s correct. That was why this method was used when you are sure with your victory, or you wanted to end the fight quickly.”

I crossed my arms and nodded in understanding. That was true, this method had a strong destructive power, but my defense was technically only depending on my ability to dodge or block the attack. I can’t use my Fear ability, but I was still able to use Youjutsu and Senjutsu.

While this method had disadvantages, this was the best method to end a fight. Especially big fights because of the destructive power created by this technique.

This is perfect for a short fight against weaker opponents, but it only served as a trump card against stronger opponents.

“The second method was called Kasane. This method was a defensive one, but this method was also effective to attack the opponent. The leader and his subordinate’s fear merged together, thus you can use both techniques. This method could be sustained longer than the Izutsu method, and it granted you with the freedom of the movement.”

“So the difference of both methods located in their use? Nothing changed besides that?” I asked Kurotabo.

He was a bit hesitant for a while before he said, “If you used the Izutsu method, a tattoo-like marking will appear on your back each time you use this method with a different youkai. For the Kasane method, nothing changed in particular. But, when you used this method, your subordinate’s fear will turn into a kimono and your heart will technically be aligned with the youkai that used Matoi with you.”

I nodded my head in understanding. Izutsu method will change my weapon and my attack, while the Kasane method will change my defend, or in this case my Kimono and was able to use both techniques. This was a truly amazing technique. Being able to use both techniques at the same time was unfair.

Matoi basically allowed me to get a power-up instantly, without any training. In the fight, this technique will surprise my opponent. Not only that, because there were a lot of different youkai with different techniques or Fear, this is truly a broken technique.

“So, how to use it, Kurotabo?”

“I will spread my Fear as I stood near you. Please accept my Fear and more importantly… trust me, Riku-sama.”

“Do it, I trust you.”

As I said that, Kurotabo approached me and stood beside me. Kubinashi knew that the technique was a bad idea, that was why he jumped away from us and leaned his back against a tree a distance away from me.

“Are you ready, Riku-sama?”

I called my Nenekirimaru and held it in my right hand as I looked at Kurotabo, “I am.”

Kurotabo spread his Fear and I certainly could feel it. Following his instruction earlier, I accepted the Fear and it began to surround me. Black smoke appeared around us and slowly but surely, Kurotabo’s body melted into the smoke.

A second after Kurotabo’s body disappeared, my school uniform turned into my usual Kimono and black sleeves appeared on my right hand. Nenekirimaru’s blade was surrounded by a cloud of black smoke that defied gravity as the smoke was floating to the sky and disappeared around one meter from my Nenekirimaru.

Somehow or another, I could feel another source of power within me and I could control it freely. I flexed my right arm and tens of weapons appeared from the black sleeves. The weapons were varied from Sword, Katana, Spear, Naginata, and Staff.

I smiled as I looked at the weapon that appeared from the black sleeves on my right arm. I called back the weapon and it retreated into the black sleeves again. After a few tries, I decided to raise my Nenekirimaru and injected all Fear that I gained into my weapon.

“Are you sure, Riku-sama? The destruction would be no joke and the Humans would realize this.” Kurotabo's voice came from behind me as if he whispered right beside my ears. It was strange, but I need to get used to this.

I snapped my left hand and an invisible barrier was created around the forest, “Don’t worry, I put a barrier.”

“Is that so? Then please feel free to attack.”

As Kurotabo agreed, I injected more fear into my Nenekirimaru. A second later, I felt that this much Fear was enough and swung my sword to the ground.

As soon as I swung my sword, hundreds of weapons that were surrounded by black smoke appeared from my back and flew in the direction of my swing.

It cut everything on its path until it finally disappeared after it reached 300 hundred meters. I looked at the aftermath of the attack and was surprised by it. The forest was destroyed, creating a new path without any trees.

The Matoi was also canceled after I launched the attack and Kurotabo breathed roughly beside me. I could feel my back burning. So this is the moment where the tattoo appeared.

I rested my Nenekirimaru on my shoulder and looked at Kurotabo, “This technique is good. I will be counting on you in the future.”

Kurotabo looked at me with a smile and said, “P-Please leave it to me.”
