With that, all the herbs that were not chosen for the second trial were slid into his pocket.
"Huh?" Yosil and the other Kornac's Keep elders were frowning when they saw what Kairo did.
Being sly old foxes themselves, they could certainly tell what Kairo was doing.

As such, Kairo now sought payback by taking away any herbs Frank could use, aside from suseless mudroots.
And without any herbs, Frank was not going to counteract the poison in his body.
"Kairo Wal-" Even before Mole could start, Kairo shrugged innocently. "There's no rule stating how many herbs we can take, is there? I'm going to try every herb to see if I can make a quality pill." Kairo's words left Mole stumped, and he turned with a frown at Frank.
Seeing that Frank was still seated meditatively, unaware of everything around him, Mole suddenly wondered what Frank would do when he woke up and saw that there was nothing but useless mudroot As such, while he was going to stop Kairo earlier, he turned toward Yosil and realized that Yosil was watching Frank in interest, clearly thinking the sthing.

"Hup!" Kairo yelled as he smacked his palm on the cauldron.
A crystalline white pill shot out of the cauldron right then, and Kairo caught it in the air.
"Amazing!" Mole's eyes lit up at once at the sight of that white pill.
If Ira's pill was of passing mark and barely qualified as a pill, Kairo's was a treasure.
It was nothing divine, but a rarity nonetheless.
Counteracting poison with that pill was basically overkill, especially with the other effects it had. "Not bad." Even Yosil was clapping in approval.
