Schooling

Leon groaned, and he stretched at his desk. He had been there for four hours going over paperwork. Most of it had to do with the army. He made knew everything in his army. Every conflict, promotion, demotion, and everything else was sent in a report directly to him.

Leon learned of too many armies that fell due to miscommunication. Leon wouldn't have that. Just as he was about to start another form to fill out, Leon's phone rang, and looking over it was the phone dedicated to his army.

Picking up the phone, Leon answered the call, "This is Leon Zoldyck, identify yourself." Leon heard the person on the other side salute, "Jane Grove, Major of the Medics."

Leon relaxed, "Major Jane, what do I owe the pleasure." Leon had met with all the Majors and Generals. Most of them used to be mercenaries, so they fell right in line.

"I'm afraid I'm here to report a conflict between myself and a subordinate." Leon raised an eyebrow. He made sure that it was clear that anyone could rise the rank as long as they proved themselves.

"Please give me the name of the other party and the reason for the conflict." Leon searched his desk and found the correct form to fill out.

"His name was Dane Harris. I had to discipline him for insubordination. After cracking the whip, he seems to have fallen in line."

Leon filled out the paper quickly, not missing a beat, "Thank you for your time. Major Jane, I will place a watch on Dane Harris to see if he might do anything further. Dismissed"

Leon heard her snap a salute again before the call dropped. Finishing out the form, Leon places it to the side where someone would come to retrieve it in an hour.

For once, Leon had a break from all his paperwork and wondered if he should hire a secretary. Before he could weigh out the pros and the cons, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Leon looked over and saw one of his maids bring him a tray with food, "Ah, thank you, Sheila."

Sheila was about 5'7 with bright red hair and an impressive bust, more than a few times, she had made a pass at him, but Leon staved off her advances, saying he was committed to someone else.

"Before I leave Master Leon, Master Killua has asked me if you would come down to the sparing arena." Leon sighed and rubbed his temple, "Sure, tell him I'll be down in twenty minutes."

Leon used to spar with Killua regularly, but with all his work, it had been months since they last fought, "Let's see how much my little brother has improved."

Changing into gym close, Leon left his sword as he wanted this to be a fair fight. He wouldn't use Nen either. For some reason, Leon's parents didn't want him to teach Killua nen.

He knew they had their reasons, so he didn't question it. Leon walked into the room to find Killua shuffling around on his feet, waiting for him, "It took you long enough, Leo. I almost left to go find Illumi."

Leon shrugged, "I could go find him if you want." Killua quickly took back his word, and he begged Leon to stay.

Smiling, Leon stopped the act, "Okay, then let's see what you've learned." Killua grinned, and he put his hands in his pockets as he started to walk towards Leon.

Leon immediately recognized what Killua was doing. Leon let himself be taken into the illusion as Killua's figure split into two, then five, and soon Leon was surrounded by a sea of Killuas.

It was impressive Leon only showed him the trick a month ago, and he was able to produce so many afterimages.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Let's see how long you last." In the blink of an eye, Leon was duplicated in an instant. Usually, there was a haze around each illusion, but Killua couldn't spot any difference. Each hair on every head was immaculate.

"Sorry little brother, you still have a long way to come." Leon dropped his illusion as he stood behind, Killua his hand on his shoulder.

Killua shrugged him off, "Damnit, why can I never get the upper hand." Leon smiled, "That's because I haven't taught you everything I know, but you could pressure just a little if he didn't use 'that technique'"

Killua stuck out his tongue, "Why won't you tell me what the secret technique is." Leon shrugged, "It's mom and dad's rule, not mine. If it were up to me, I would teach you."

"Aren't you the head of the house by now, you do all the paperwork, and everyone looks up to you."

"It's not my time. I'm just practicing. I have several plans to see the Zoldyck family grow exponentially." Leon answered, preparing to fight again.

Killua attacked Leon, his nails turning to claws as he tried to gouge out Leon's eyes, "Care to tell what those plans are."

Leon caught Killua's hand and brought him around in an arm breaker, "Sorry, those are just for my mind alone." Killua dislocated his shoulder, breaking the hold, flipping onto Leon's back.

Grinning, Leon grabbed Killua's foot as he tried to jump away. Killua grunted as he crashed against the ground from where Leon had thrown him.

Getting to his feet Kullia brushed the dirt off his shoulders, "That hurt Leo, you never go easy on me."

Leon smiled just a bit of his sadistic nature coming out, "You won't learn any other way."
