Playing with other Supernaturals

Yoruichi was having a headache. She didn't know if this was for better or for worse. However, she did realize Stralit's immense importance to her mother, 'Now that it came to this, might as well go all the way. Thankfully, I can be sure that this young lady would be on our side.'

Yoruichi sighed and turned around again and while doing so, she removed the seal on her Reiatsu.

"!?" "W-what!?" Corvina and Adrenna both took a step back from the sudden pressure that directly weighed down on their souls, "What's happening!?" The latter further exclaimed while the former made sure that this room didn't allow any leakage.

Out of nowhere, Yoruichi took out nine daggers and stuck them on the floor around Stralit. The handle of the daggers then lit up with a soft blue light before they formed a nonagonal barrier around her target, "This can serve as your battery for now. How long can this extend your active time?"

"Four more days. Don't you have more?", replied Benihime.

To that, Yoruichi could only scratch her head, "I bothered Kisuke to make these for me and it was originally created to amplify a single attack. These things aren't just disposable but you also can't normally use them repeatedly since it'll kill you first before you could go for the second attack."

She then turned around again and started walking away, "I'll go get what you need so hang tight." And within a few steps, she soon came face to face with Corvina and went back to speaking her language, "I apologize for ignoring you earlier, Lady Corvina. Let me formally introduce myself."

Yoruichi gestured the formal greeting for Etouldes by putting her left arm horizontally across her stomach. At the same time, her gray hair slowly turned black and her skin returned to the normal dark tone. As her face warped back to her original one, she continued, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Yoruichi Shihouin."

Corvina stared at her for a moment before parting back her veil to the side, revealing her pure pitch-black eyes that seemed to absorb even the brightest light, and returned the formal gesture, "A pleasure to know you too, Yoruichi Shihouin. I'm Corvina Luxeux, the current head of the Luxeux clan."

Any normal person who stares at her eyes would momentarily lose their sanity, however, Yoruichi just smiled and went at ease without breaking eye contact, "Please let me say this first. I and those behind me don't have any intention of becoming your enemy."

"Your words don't hold any weight.", Corvina replied without her expression changing.

Yoruichi, meanwhile, was neither disappointed nor offended, "That's very clear to me so I'd like to work towards adding that weight. For starters, please let me take care of your daughter. I'll make sure she'll wake up healthy and with an added bonus too."

Corvina obviously doesn't trust Yoruichi fully. Nonetheless, there are no other alternatives, "What can I do for you?" Corvina asked because she couldn't possibly be doing this out of the goodness of her heart and maybe her answer would shed some light to her relationship with her daughter.

"Nothing major. I just want you to take a look at something. And if possible, I'd like to know its owner."

It has been half an hour since Yoruichi left and Corvina has been staring at the vial containing a strand of hair made out of Spiritual Power and deeply within her thoughts.

A few minutes later, her trusted aide, Adrenna returned, "I'm back milady. I'm sorry but our scouts lost her as soon as she arrived in Hartagertle."

Corvina placed the vial on the nearby table and asked, "What do you think of her?"

"When she introduced herself as Yoruichi Shihouin, I think she was telling the truth. Because only then does it all make sense."

Corvina stood up and approached the barrier surrounding Stralit and the mannequin known as Benihime, "I'm not asking about that. I'm talking about her spiritual ability."

Adrenna is fully aware that her mistress has way better insight regarding spiritual abilities than her so she shouldn't even be asking that question to her. But since Corvina did, she was not hallucinating when Yoruichi erected the barrier earlier.

"First of all, those daggers already violated the Etoulde's [Sacred Soul Act]. It's a technology we don't have and are not allowed to develop. If those strict old men find this out, they'll hunt her until the ends of the universe.

"Second, the way she uses Spiritual Power by releasing it in a pressurized form and shaping it through her will is radically different from any Etoulde who uses their spiritual ability by shaping their power within their souls first and releasing it to the world. I tried doing it myself but my body was almost injured by an incomplete attempt. If I released it to the same degree as her, I would, undoubtedly, instantly die."

"It's an archaic way of utilizing Spiritual Power and its efficiency is extremely bad," Corvina added.

"That is also what I was thinking. It wasn't just dangerous but also very draining. I can't understand why she'd opt for that method even though she's successful. She must already have an idea on how the Etoulde uses theirs and be capable of imitating a portion of it." Adrenna continued, 'After all, as long as you can feel and manipulate Spiritual Power to a certain degree, you could easily learn how to use it from public knowledge among the Etouldes.'

Corvina didn't say anything else.

Adrenna was correct to think that Corvina has better insight than her because if not, she'd also be as nervous as Corvina is now, 'Its efficiency is bad, yes... But that method of releasing a pressurized Spiritual Power might just be a method of extending one's soul domain. And when one can extend their domain outside of their body... ridiculous [Ideas] could be realized now that the vessel is not a limitation any more.' R̃äꞐÒʙΕS̈

Although these utilizations are vastly different, the majority of people who'd come across this won't even notice the difference thanks to their not-so-accurate senses and lacking experience. Even then, Corvina couldn't help but sigh in frustration. If she's guessing it right, the man who saved Stralit from Aurelius was the owner of Benihime, Kisuke Urahara.

'I know it's not easy to notice but to think that even Grenlan would miss this? Or is he just keeping it a secret for Stralit? Then what about Alicia? Chances are they didn't really notice and thought of it as a strange pressuring ability.'

Corvina walked back and instructed Adrenna, "Take the vial and find its owner. Be careful. The Enfers are moving suspiciously these days. Just focus on looking for its owner and don't even try digging into what they are doing. And call Grenlan back while you're at it."

"What about Yoruichi?"

"She's too dangerous so I'll be taking care of her personally."
