Listening and watching, the man had appeared on his left and with great speed grabbed his sheath and had swung his Zanpakuto at him which was wrapped in flames. Hikari could have easily dodged but he wanted to test something.
Whatever damage is dealt to me on purpose will help in the long run....Hikari thought as he let the attack hit him which sent him flying. Mid-air he muttered the words, “Strike and clap, Ken!” which made his sword turned into, well, an even bigger sword. He struck downwards into the ground and landed on his feet, his Shikai stopping the flying. Pulling his Shikai out of the ground with force he held it out and glared at the old man.
Hm, worked out then. I got an idea of his speed and strength, more so his strength.....There's still a chance he might not be using it all because he see's me lower than him, but there's only one way to find out now isn't there? Hikari thought before he looked at the wound that was dealt, he didn't seem bothered by it but there seemed to be a consistent burn there.
I see.... Hikari thought as he gathered an idea of the old man's abilities. He looked back at the old man and blinked.
"You say Shinigami are for mindless murders, saying we kill for no reason," Hikari chuckled, "Now that's just a bit too idiotic don't you think? We kill Hollows to keep a balance.....As for Shinigami as yourself? You threaten the lives of hundreds, thousands, and millions, and you think Shinigami are just mindlessly killing because those types of people are executed? Now I'm not one for straight off killing, but it's for the safety of the Soul Society, so if you're going to talk about this shit then atleast talk with some sense!"
Hikari twirled his Shikai with ease, "Kaze rūsu," he muttered as wind began swarming around him though the old man wouldn't feel it considering the distance they were from each other. Hikari then appeared behind the old man, Kaze rūsu enhancing his speed mixed with the speed he already possessed made him deadly fast. The wind was strong enough to throw the old man off his feet if he wasn't careful. Hikari swung his Shikai aiming to cut the old man's back.
