When everyone heard Kisuke's provocation, they didn't know what to say. Even the drunkards had their eyes wide open not believing what they heard. Bete's companions, the Loki Familia, were also gobsmacked at this gusty Level 1.
"Wait! Stop it, you two!" Riveria stood up from her seat.
Normally, even with not so friendly attitude, Bete would only ignore others who don't bother him. However, due to alcohol and Ais Wallenstein, who he has a secret crush for, kept looking at Kisuke with intrigue and curiosity and that didn't sit well to him well. And surely, he would regret opening his mouth after sobering up.
The drunk Bete's face becomes even redder and responded, "Haah!? Do you want me to burn that stupid hat of yours along with your head?" But with this statement, he will regret even coming to the pub today.
Yoruichi did a facepalm, "Yikes~." However, there's a smile on her face, "Kuroka, get ready to silently move."
Kuroka nodded and slowly blended herself to the surrounding using minutes of Ki.
Hestia, who was stopped by Yoruichi from interfering, asked with a worried face, "What's wrong?"
But instead of Yoruichi, Koneko answered her, "Of all the insults you can throw Kisuke-senpai, don't ever do it with his beloved hat."
"Is it a memento from someone dear to him?"
"No... He really just like that hat..."
"...What?"
The moment Kisuke heard about his hat being stupid, his hollow smile became a nasty smile.
"Aiya~... That guy is done for..." Aika muttered and everyone nodded in agreement. They love seeing that smile... As long as it isn't directed at them. After all, none of them have any weird preferences.
"Say, Level 5-san... Are you certain that I won't be able to hurt you?" Kisuke asked.
"Isn't that obvious? I can block anything you throw at me!" Bete replied with confidence.
"Even with my ultimate weapon?" Kisuke's nasty smile grew larger.
Bete stepped closer to him and glared at him, "Even if you have some sort of legendary weapon, it would be easy for me to block a swing from a weakling like you."
"Great~. Then why don't we make a bet?"
Hearing this, Bete started laughing out loud, "You sure are confident, rookie! Sure, why not!?"
Riveria looked towards her companions and they're only watching in interest. Although she knew that they would step in if Kisuke was about to get hurt, it still gave her a headache. But she also couldn't deny the interest to where the unknown guy getting his confidence because, in this world, levels are almost absolute in fights and there's just no way that a Level 1 could go against a Level 5.
Since no one is going to stop them, Riveria sighed and said, "It seems that both of you won't back down... Fine... A bet it is..." She at least wanted to control things for being the referee. She didn't want to see Bete hurting a rookie Adventurer.
"Then allow me to facilitate this bet. Here are the rules. Kisuke Urahara-san here will attack Bete and Bete would have to block it. Kisuke-san only has three tries and can use any weapon while Bete isn't allowed to retaliate in any way or move from his spot. And since we're in a pub, we don't want to trouble the owner so both of you are not allowed to destroy anything in here. If you do so, you'll automatically lose and you'll take responsibility for compensation. Is that clear?"
"That's fine~," Kisuke replied happily.
"Haahh! He can even try the whole day and it won't change a damn thing!" Bete sneered at Kisuke.
"Good." Riveria then faced Kisuke, "What does the winner get?"
"Since we're in a pub, we should compensate them for the commotion we're making. So whoever loses will pay for everything that the winner orders... without limit until closing time."
Riveria and turned to Bete, "Is that fine with you?"
However, instead of answering her, Bete faced his other companions, "Heard that guys? Start ordering. You can't refuse free food and wine!"
Riveria sighed and stepped away, "Alright... You can start..."
The moment Riveria and the word 'start' and Bete still looking towards his companions with a big smile on his face, Kisuke launched his foot towards Bete's groin without any change in his demeanor. It isn't fast as he's limited to a Level 1's physical abilities, however, it caught Bete completely off-guard as he used his hands to block Kisuke foot in panic and only managed to stop it when it's less than a millimeter away from his balls.
Seeing such a short distance, cold sweat appeared in Bete's forehead.
The people watching this, especially the men, felt like closing their groins and one of them even muttered out loud, "Without even letting his opponent prepare, he aimed for the guy's family jewels without any hesitation... What a nasty guy..."
The top executives of the Loki Familia, on the other hand, became more serious as they reviewed Kisuke's movement in their heads, "Finn... What do you think?" The Dwarf, Gareth, asked the Pallum beside him.
"Although that's indeed the physical abilities of a Level 1... His execution is way more than that. We didn't even notice his intentions... If he has the same physical abilities as Bete, I'm afraid we would be pouring a High-Class Elixir on him now..." Finn replied after thinking for a few seconds
"H-how's that even possible?" The Amazoness, Tiona, asked in bewilderment.
Finn shook his head, "I don't know... All I can tell is that despite being a rookie Adventurer, it seems that he has gone through many battles..."
"Heh~. As expected of a Level 5~! Your reflexes are good!" Kisuke sneered at his panicked expression.
Bete pushed away his foot with an angry expression, "You still have two tries... Do your worst." This time, he won't let him catch him off-guard and watched his movements carefully.
"Well, I guess it's time to pull out my ultimate weapon~." Kisuke then started rummaging the inside of his sleeves to look for something.
Bete's expression became even more serious and Riveria also got ready to intercept if something bad happens.
Finally, Kisuke took out a can with a spray nozzle, "Ta da~! My ultimate weapon~!"
Bete and the rest who are watching are confused at the unknown item they took out. When Kisuke said he'll be taking out a weapon, they were all expecting that it's a dagger or some other small weapon when he started going through his big sleeve.
Due to this, Bete didn't know how to react but he saw that Kisuke pointed it on his face and figured that it's some sort of projectile. He immediately put both of his arms in front of his face to block the incoming attack while also watching his movements through the gaps of his arms.
A second later, unknown material spews forth from Kisuke's weapon and it immediately covered Bete's hand and reached his eyes and nose.
"AHHH!!!" A split second later, Bete reeled back in pain and covered his eyes with his hands, but doing that only intensified the pain he's feeling and he dropped down to the group, rolling, "AHHHHH!!! MY EYES!!!!!"
Instead of stopping there, Kisuke didn't let up and continued spraying his 'weapon' on the poor mutt as if he's some sort of insect Kisuke intended to exterminate with a big grin on his face, "How is it? My ultimate weapon, 'Pepper Spray: Ultra Strength'~? It's especially effective against annoying fellows~."
