Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 439 Two Rounds Win

Riveria and Ais both tilted their heads and asked, “Cosplay photoshoot?”

Kisuke turned to Riveria’s direction and asked, “Remember that very highly detailed illustration?”

Riveria thought for a moment before a certain incident entered her mind and started grinding her teeth, “And what about it!?”

“If Wallenstein-san were to lose,” Kisuke then, out of nowhere, took out two sets of clothing. A nurse uniform and a Chinese dress. With a big grin, Kisuke continued, “You’ll get in this and I’ll get those illustrations.”

“…Hah?” Riveria brought up her staff, “What was that?”

“You’ll get in this and I’ll get those illustrations,” Kisuke repeated it.

“Why did you think we would agree!?”

“What’s wrong with me dreaming? It’s not like I’ll win, right? You’re not confident with Wallenstein-san winning? I’m just a Level 2, you know~! Statistically speaking, even if there’s a bunch of me, I shouldn’t be able to touch her once she uses her magic!”

Riveria’s eyes became cold, “Ais, don’t hold back. As long as you don’t kill him, everything is fine~! I’ll take out a loan to fund his treatment!”

Ais’s body started shaking from the pressure Riveria was emitting and answered, “Y-yes.”

Chuckling, Kisuke asked, “So I take it that you accept my terms~?”

“Yep~. Ais will wipe that nasty, perverted grin off your face.” Riveria also smiled as she replied, however, her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“Great~! Let’s start. I’m not really aiming for the bet, but for the chance to fight against the so-called Sword Princess? It’s already my win~!”

Yoruichi and Sona who were watching from afar couldn’t help but do a facepalm, “Look how happy he is, now that he was able to successfully scam them. And a cosplay photoshoot? I see, he’s trying to procure some merchandise. He could have just asked for money, but I guess he gets more satisfaction in earning it?” Yoruichi muttered.

“I can see my former self in them… Is this how I fell for it? The more I get to know his real capabilities, the more I realize that this guy really likes scamming people…” Sona muttered.

Riveria, Ais, and Kisuke moved to a wide-open area. Soon after, Yoruichi and Sona also followed behind curiously.

Ais then tied the sheath of her rapier to its pommel so that it wouldn’t be drawn in the middle of their sparring. Kisuke noticed this and had a small smile on his face, “We use our real weapons.”

Riveria furrowed her brows, “That’s too dangerous.” Although she wanted to see Kisuke beaten up, she didn’t want to endanger his life.

Kisuke then took out his cane out of nowhere and unsheathed its blade, “You got it wrong, Riveria-san~. Wallenstein-san wants to learn swordsmanship, right? So this is the best method.” The pressure around Kisuke then suddenly changed, “And besides, no matter what Wallenstein-san does, she is incapable of actually killing me~. So you’re free to try.”

Ais and Riveria became shocked at his sudden change and thought that they’d gone into a real battle. It was Yoruichi who first spoke up, “Alright, I’ll be this match’s referee. Whoever wins 3 rounds wins, right? Then the one who’s about to land a fatal blow wins and if one can’t continue or admits defeat it’s a loss. Clear? Then start.”

Riveria was still hesitating and didn’t know whether it was true that Ais, no matter what she does, couldn’t kill Kisuke. Of course, as common sense dictated, Ais could easily kill Kisuke. But something was bothering her mind and the possibility that this may actually be true, existed.

However, unlike Riveria, Ais didn’t really care. Although she wouldn’t kill Kisuke, if the opponent requested a bladed contest, then she would agree. Ais then untied her sheath and took out her blade while readying her stance, ‘Let’s try to fight him only with swordsmanship and around Level 4 of physical strength.’

Ais didn’t believe that Kisuke was stronger than Revis.

“You can make your first move,” Kisuke said as he pointed his blade towards Ais.

Ais lowered her body and dashed towards Kisuke with atypical Level 4’s abilities. But just as she was about to strike him, Kisuke suddenly reappeared in front of her, bringing down his sword, “Idiot~.”

Ais’s eyes opened wide and she abruptly stopped her advance. However, she didn’t panic as she was already expecting this and placed her rapier horizontally to block his strike.

But what she didn’t expect was the strength behind Kisuke’s strike. The moment their swords met, Ais had to use all of her strength so that she wouldn’t buckle down from the sheer weight of Kisuke’s sword strike.

However, the moment she focused on regaining her stance, the weight suddenly disappeared and she felt a strike on her stomach. Ais didn’t know what happened, but she tried to regain her posture as she was launched away and looked towards Kisuke in order to anticipate his next move.

But she only saw Kisuke standing still on the ground with a big smile on his face and a split second later, something flew past her neck, nicking a bit of her skin, “Kisuke won the first round.” Yoruichi suddenly announced.

“What!?” Ais shouted as she hadn’t lost.

“You already lost,” Yoruichi affirmed her decision as she pointed towards the rock behind Ais.

Ais looked back and saw Kisuke’s sword sticking out of the said rock and recalled the mysterious thing that went through earlier, ‘I-If he didn’t miss, his sword would be sticking out of my neck…’ Ais thought as her body shook in horror.

“…W-what?” Riveria muttered to nobody in particular.

However, she got an answer from the person beside her, “He already told you about it, right? The existence of Ki, another type of energy aside from magic power. Different from magic that can be used to manipulate the surroundings, Ki’s usage is to further enhance and strengthen the body.” Sona said with a smile on her face.

Riveria was speechless as she failed to consider this point.

“Of course, like magic, it has limitations. The user can only strengthen his or her body to a certain point before it breaks down and it’s an overall dangerous technique to use. By the way, this is what we use to surpass our Level’s basic abilities.” Sona continued.

And as if remembering something, Sona’s smile grew deeper, “Oh, right. At the place where we came from, there’s an agreement to never join Kisuke in any kind of a gamble as one way or another, he always wins~.”

Riveria felt a cold wind brushing her back as she recalled what was at stake here. She then faced Ais who was getting ready again, “Ais don’t hold back! He can match your physical strength!”

Ais nodded seriously as the second round started. However, she was still very adamant about using just her sword to win as she couldn’t take out the fact that Kisuke was just a Level 2 in her head.

But even without holding back, two minutes later, Ais’s rapier left her hand as she stumbled backwards and Kisuke’s sword was already pointing at her neck, “I guess it’s my win this round too~!”

Prosecutors corner

Alexander: Dear Chief Judge, as I’ve just shown to you, it is unmistakably true that the suspect Mr. Urahara scammed these two women in order to force them into a cosplay shoot to get more blackmail material. I beg you to punish him for this in accordance with the law.

Chief Judge: At the moment, I can’t come to a fair decision. In order to do this, I hereby order the suspect’s Superior Goyya-san to immediately upload the evidence (photos).

28th00: Well, we saw this coming a literal mile away. Kisuke, being a former Captain, has sword skills trained over centuries of life and death combat against eldritch beings and others on his level, there was really no contest. When Godspeed is the literal basic requirement for combat in your world, you tend to be pretty good at what you do… But seriously, Bleach has everyone having speed so fast it’s legitimately teleportation at the highest level, which is what Yoruichi’s final lightning god cat mode thing is. She is fast

Garan: Kisuke’s list of crimes committed just keeps on increasing.

Goyya: And it will continue to increase.
