Kisuke ignored the surprised expression that's painted on everyone's face and answered Loki, "Well, yeah, technically. However, she still falls short in experience. Including Sona and Aika, although everyone else is regularly sparring with them, they still need some real experiences."
Hearing that, Loki gave her a doubtful expression, "Really? I just think that your standards are impossibly high. Even if they are very capable and talented, there should still be some limits."
All Loki knew were those stories that came from her children. But even with that tidbit of information, she could guess how Kisuke usually does things if she added his capabilities into the equation. She has no right to interfere with how Kisuke raised his talents, but she can't say she's a fan of it either, so she couldn't help but give a little bit of warning without seemingly overstepping her boundaries. Loki, after all, doesn't know what they are fighting for nor who their enemies are.
Kisuke became silent for a few moments before nodding at her, "I'm aware of my own shortcomings. But even if it's too late, I still have to make amends."
"That's great, nevertheless, I wasn't just talking about the girls around you, but you yourself.", Loki's slitted eyes opened and gazed straight into Kisuke's eyes, "I don't know what's chasing you, but your overt selfishness was just covering your inner selflessness."
Kisuke was surprised at Loki's words but even after thinking about it, he couldn't fully understand what she meant, "...What are you talking about?"
Loki wanted to continue but immediately shut her mouth before shaking her head, 'He has to realize it himself.'
Loki thought that explaining it directly to him would defeat the purpose of her warning, so instead, she redirected the topic, "If you're going to make amends, I think it's a great idea if that would start from you. Knowing those girls, they would just follow your example. You should know how devoted they are to you."
Since Loki didn't want to elaborate further, Kisuke didn't pursue it, "That's true. Thank you for your kind words." Even so, Kisuke made sure to remember those words that came from a Deity that seemed to be thinking more carefully compared to most Deities out there, 'But I wonder what she meant by that?'
Because of the sudden serious conversation, everyone in the Loki Familia already lost their chance to ask about this mysterious lady that is capable of launching multiple annihilation Magic with ease despite being just a Level 3.
Still, Riveria asked for everyone seeing that it's a good time, "Uhmm... Loki... About what you said earlier. Do mind if you can further elaborate?"
"Hmmm? Ah, that? There's really nothing to explain further. These guys are really just too good at what they do that the concept of Levels of a God's blessing was essentially pointless to them."
Even then, they still couldn't wrap their head around what Loki just said.
Curious, Ais turned to Kisuke and asked, "...What's your level?"
While rubbing his chin and pretending to think about it, Kisuke answered, "Mine? If I recall correctly, I never really had my Status updated after reaching Level 2. So by your standards, I'm a Third Class Adventurer, technically."
All eyes except for Loki's could only stare at Kisuke dumbfounded.
"How strange... Loki isn't calling out his lie.", Tiona muttered. Immediately after, someone stepped on her left toe with a bit of force and she couldn't help but cry out, "Owww! Tione! What are you doing!?"
The culprit, however, just said, "It's really strange... I'm also not dreaming."
"Damn you!", the sisters then began wrestling each other.
Meanwhile, Kisuke addressed everyone else, "What are you guys surprised for? You should have known that Ki is a lot easier to control and gather even without any blessing compared to Magic. Of course, there are bound to be people that would get stronger even without joining a Familia."
"No... I didn't think that someone could take it to the extreme.", replied Riveria while sighing and covering her forehead.
"It only means that you still have a lot of room to grow."
Soon after, Kisuke was bombarded by various questions from all the people present. At first, he answered their questions calmly, but as time went on, they started asking questions that they should be thinking for themselves so he lost his patience and shooed them away, "Enough of this! Challia-san, I suppose you have recovered sufficiently so let's continue."
Filvis was waiting for this and immediately stepped up as soon as she heard his call, "I'm ready. Are we going to spar again?"
After the crowd had been cleared, including Bete who was dragged back by Raul, Kisuke nodded, "We will, but not until after you drink this."
From his sleeve, Kisuke pulled out a test tube capped by a cork and containing blood. He made sure that he got the right thing and tossed it in Filvis's direction, "We'll be trying out your main ability now."
Filvis examined the test tube before removing the cork and taking a bit of sniff on the blood, 'It's sweet!? Much sweeter than Lefiya's!?'
She hesitated for a moment. Since it came from Kisuke and wanted to use it to test her ability, she knew that this isn't normal blood and she's worried about what might happen to her after taking this blood, 'But what's the worst that could happen?' Gritting her teeth, Filvis took the blood in one gulp.
As soon as it went through her throat, Filvis felt its scalding effect right away on her back. Beyond her control, Filvis' gray bat-like wings emerged and all eyes saw them change into pure white wings from its base.
As for Filvis herself, she couldn't really pay any attention to it as the heat from her back went on to spread uncomfortably, "Guhhh..."
The next thing that happened, however, surprised Loki the most with a golden halo suddenly appearing on top of Filvis's head while emitting warm and 'righteous' light, "Wait! That's...!"
The change didn't stop there with her blood-red eyes turning golden next. With her transformation finished, the warm and holy aura she's giving off now was a stark contrast to the gloom and cold she has as a Vampire.
'As expected... She can replicate it even if it's an attribute harmful to her.', thought Kisuke after giving her Irina's blood that he produced using her original DNA and power he was able to isolate from the Brave Saint system.
