The Dungeon’s Intention

Kisuke kept pressing various points on her palm, measuring her overall Magic Power capacity and movement, 'Although her Magic Power only increased slightly from my initial estimates, the movement can't be compared to a typical Elf like Riveria and Ryuu. Using her own blood as a medium, her maximum output was boosted exponentially. It's no wonder that Vampires could thrive despite their poor reputation and attitude. Or maybe because she's a Dhampir?'

Various guesses went through Kisuke's mind in that short instance but Filvis was unaware of her thoughts and could just endure it. Although it only became worse when Kisuke started sending pulses of his own energy through her hand, "Ummmph!?"

Caught off guard, Filvis' knees almost buckled but she was able to stand firm. However, she had to cover her mouth with her free hand as she had a feeling that she might just let out a strange voice with the strange heat rising up from the core of her body, 'W-what's this? What's happening!?'

Normally, Kisuke would have already stopped doing this because he didn't have much of a legitimate reason to mess with her, but an accidental discovery made him focus so that he didn't even know what Filvis was going through nor did he care about it, '!?... This is...'

Since Kisuke already had enough mastery over his new energy type, he was already confident to use it as a tool for recon. And because it's an unknown type that's only unique to him as far as he's concerned, it could hardly be detected. Even Yoruichi, who had well-developed senses couldn't detect it and even if she was able to, it was already close to her and she wasn't even sure if it's really there.

If a comparison was to be made, it's like Ophis and Great Red's abilities. Although others could detect the Magic Power within them, they couldn't find anything that's related to 'Infinity' or 'Dreams' despite them representing it.

However, the moment he let his own energy interact with Filvis' Magic Power, the latter started morphing as if it's trying to imitate it, 'Absorption? No... This is creating new information depending on what it's trying to extract... Did she go through a mutation as a Dhampir to have this kind of ridiculous ability? Or did the Dungeon intend for her to have this? Considering how useful this would be for my own development, I'm leaning on the latter possibility.'

Nevertheless, due to how complicated and unique Kisuke's energy is, it couldn't extract much information and would constantly fail in 'copying' it, hence, the strange mood Filvis was currently experiencing right now.

Filvis' groans engulfed the silent room with a weird atmosphere but after a few more moments, Lefiya couldn't take it anymore and stood in the middle of the two, swinging her arm down and saving the damsel in distress, "For how long are you going to do this!?"

Lefiya's hostility woke Kisuke up as he dodged the incoming arm by letting Filvis go. Even then, he'd already got most of what he needed to know and the only thing left is a bit of a blood sample that he could get later, "Geez, relax~ I'm just doing a bit of examination to determine her current rank."

"Is this how you examine people!?" Lefiya shouted while angrily pointing at Filvis.

Kisuke finally looked at Filvis carefully and saw that she's struggling to catch her breath in addition to her flushed face and almost tearful eyes. If one didn't know what exactly happened, people would think that Kisuke just assaulted her, "Not always." Kisuke answered honestly.

"Not always!? There are other instances!? You're an enemy of women!" Lefiya declared while clinging to Filvis.

While everyone else had an awkward atmosphere, Riveria was wearing a serious expression while muttering, "Why does this feel familiar?"

Kisuke just waved his hand in dismissal and said, "Forget about that. Challia-san, how about a spar with me? You want to test everything you can manage against someone or something, don't you?"

Filvis took a few deep breaths and recovered bearing, albeit still with a flushed face, "Spar?"

"Yes. Since I have some free time, I think I can help you figure out more about your abilities, and the best way to do that is to put it into action."

Truthfully, Kisuke's intention was not to help her but to flush out his remaining energy in her system and stop the current transformation. That way, he'd be able to give her a special type of blood and see the changes she'd go through.

Filvis heaved her final heavy breath and thought, 'Before everyone lost their memories, Lefiya said that even if the entire Loki Familia went against Kisuke Urahara, they wouldn't even be able to scratch his skin. Using common sense, that's impossible but Lefiya doesn't have any reason to lie. If so...'

She then looked up to him, reaching a decision, '...He'd really be the only one who could test my capabilities without the dangers of actually killing me. Although he's all smiles, I can tell that he's ruthless. He might just cut off my arm just to test my regeneration...'

"...Please help me. Thank you."

Kisuke nodded and turned to Loki, "Loki-sama, I'd like to use your courtyard."

"It's fine if I watch too, right?"

"Even if I forbid you, this is your place and I have no right to do so."

"Alright. Let's go."

.

.

.

In the wide courtyard, since they were allowed to watch, everyone from the Loki Familia except for those who had business outside had come.

In the middle was Kisuke and Filvis facing each other, "Although this is a spar, use everything you can.", the former said first.

"If not?"

Kisuke looked straight into Filvis' eyes and his killing intent started pouring into her, "'Cus I might just accidentally kill you."

Filvis shuddered and readied her sword in panic. She wanted to talk more to figure him out more, but after just being brushed by such intense blood lust, she knew she couldn't afford to think about anything else, much less speak.

"Good. It seems that you're ready. But before that...", Kisuke turned to where the executives were and said, "May I borrow a blade? Anything's fine."

Before anyone could say anything back, Tione suddenly pulled out one of her kukri knives named Zolas and threw it towards Kisuke, "Here."

Kisuke caught the knife by its handle, "Thank you very much~."

Filvis swallowed a mouthful of saliva because there was yet again almost imperceptible change in him who was now holding a blade, 'It's as if his entire body became a weapon!'

Kisuke's smile then disappeared as he faced Filvis once again, "Now then, let's start with this."

In everyone's eyes, Kisuke slowly slashed what's in front of him horizontally. However, there's still a few meters of distance between them so this strange action of his confused everyone, including his opponent.

"Really... If you have trained Ki, you all should have trained your senses for it."

Filvis was wondering what he's talking about when she suddenly lost her balance and slowly fell backward, "Huh!?"

She tried to regain her balance but her fall continued. And finally, she landed on her back, facing the blue sky. Bewildered, she turned her head towards Kisuke but what she saw immediately sent pain back to her brain, "AAHHHH!!!!"

In front of her were her legs, firmly standing on their ground, cleanly detached from her body.
