Jiro grabbed the girl as her arm froze mid-swing. "Let me go!" The girl demanded as she swung her legs. Jiro took the hits, pulling her backwards.
"Can't ya tell we won't hurt you?" Jiro sighed in defeat. The girl squirmed in his arms as Ritsuka moved over to check on Lee Seng. He had somehow gotten a knick.
"Are you okay?" Ritsuka asked. Lee Seng wiped the blood away. His body had already healed the knick.
"I'm fine." Lee Seng replied. He shifted his attention to the other end of the hallway. "I think it's time to go."
"You're leaving with the coins?" The girl shouted. She clearly had the coins on her. "All you adults are the same! Liars! Give me my coins!" Ritsuka looked down the hall. A woman slid across the hall entrance, raising her arm up. Lightning crackled as it fired from the woman's hand.
"Holy Shield." Lee Seng's words conjured a yellow shield that covered most of the hallway.
