"... finish them ..."

*WHOOSH* Yori's eyes widen as he hears from behind him, something cutting the air, which he figures can only be Taishiro's spear tip that was just thrust at him.

To his relief, he hopped out of the formation just in time for the spear to have narrowly missed.

Yori smirks in approval.

Had he not noticed Taishiro's momentary disappearance and had he underestimated the children, he would have lost one out of his ten 'lives' in this game.

As a fellow spear user, he is also impressed by how crisp and clean Taishiro's thrust was.

Before he can relax, the children once again, in unison swipe at him with their weapons.

Knowing he cannot block all of those attacks; he hops back in carefully measured steps.

Still, simply retreating becomes a bit of a chore as the children are continuously swiping at him with incredible skill, timing, and coordination, almost making him unable to breathe comfortably.
