Hitori was surprised, but he kept it under control. Akira was bringing down his wand and cast a spell, so he decided to do the same.
At first– he wondered if Akira was just making this to scare Tengoku, but when he saw him ready to fire a spell, Hitori thought, Why should I waste this chance? So he raised his wand too.
The declaration of being able to attack from inside the shield caused havoc on the enemy side. Tengoku slid into the crowd and disappeared like a ninja. He told his men to start firing.
They cocked their guns, held them in front of them, and waited for the last-second thud on the door. They opened fire on Hitori and Akira.
That sudden burst startled Hitori. He closed his eyes, covered his ears, and stepped away from the veranda railing. Akira was not different. That firing sound was annoying.
They moved their assault rifle around the veranda but could not hurt anyone. Hitori saw the flash in their guns due to the fiction.
