An intense battle begun between the groups.
Lu Kang who had gone in earlier returned to the Balcony and couldn't believe the scene in front of him. He had only left for few minutes and the world now seemed upside down!.
He saw Su downstairs defending unknown men against masked assassins like a paid fighter.
He immediately ran back into the room, grabbed his sword, notified the others who were still having a good time to themselves, and jumped down to join in the tough brawl.
This was the second time they were experiencing real life attack. It had been few days out of the Academy and they could absolutely call it 'eventful'.
They would have tales to tell to the others upon their return.
The other trainees, warriors and Yeong came down and joined in the fight too. They were fighting against actual hitmen, it was no child's play.
The fight went on for a while, but they were close to annihilating the assassins.
When the leader of the gang saw that his men were soon to be defeated by these unknown fighters whom they had never anticipated, he ordered for more men that were in hiding to appear.
He had earlier confirmed that the Prince was alone with his bodyguard which boosted his confidence on the task. He had been certain that this was a done job.
Now some fighters had come to defend the Prince. Could it be that this Prince had hidden them that followed him everywhere? Could these men be part of the Royal guards in the palace?, he had many questions cycling in his mind.
Whatever the case may be, they were almost as skilled as his men.
He bit his tongue angrily and made a call for more men.
More assassins trooped in. They appeared endless.
By this time, the whole Inn and been emptied and scattered.
Prince Lee and his bodyguard were getting tired. Though they fought impressively, they weren't on the same fighting level with the trainees from Lu Academy talk less of the warriors.
They were only able to defend against attacks thrown at them and it was getting so tiring.
During the fight, an assassin found an opening and slashed into Prince Lee's arm. Blood started to gush out.
"Run!!" Su turned to the Prince. The assassins seemed un-ending. They would not win this battle.
"Run if you want to live" he repeated the phrase to the Prince who was hesitant when he looked back and saw his guard fighting profusely.
