Before going anywhere we had to prepare properly. First of all, armor, and weapons. I had been teaching them how to fight with their bare hands, magic, and each of their spirits all this time. But the kids all have some preference in weapons though.
Weapons are essential, especially when you are a child with small physical strength. Weapons can offer great penetration, piercing, and slashing power that our bare hands cannot easily do. Although it requires a great mastery over techniques to use weapons properly, it is not as if they had not been training on their own.
Realistically speaking, the only one that could use their bare hands to fight in here is Erika, as she's made of an incredibly hard, steel-like wood, her hands are as hard as steel weapons if not harder, she can easily punch through trees, although not enough to blow them away into the air.
