He had no idea what kind of command he would give. As Suki went off to fight her three, Umichi jogged a little to his two. Taking an easy slice through the Little Nepent without even using a sword skill. It was a simple cut, that finished the Little Nepent. That was just how far he was above the Little Nepents. Turning to face the Large Nepent, he waited, letting it attack him. He waited, the attack approaching ever closer, before barely side stepping the charge. He got touched slightly, losing hardly any health. [i]Damn, couldn't react fast enough at the last moment.[/i] Lunging, he used [b]<>[/b] to close the gap between himself and the Large Nepent that had charged by. Dealing some damage, with a post-motion that was almost non-existent, he used a [b]<>[/b] dealing a large chunk of it's health, till it had about 15% of it's health. [i]Must have a lot of health or something.[/i] As his short post-motion was finishing up, the Large Nepent went to attack him again. As the post-motion finished, all he did was lift his sword and it pierced itself into his blade, killing itself. Walking to where Suki was, he watched as the girl was starting to get accustomed to her Rapier. The speed of which she was thrusting was slower than he had expected. Still fairly fast, but slower than expected. [i]Is it because she's not used to it, or the weapon or something?[/i] Umichi pondered for a moment. However, it was en-capturing, watching the small girl with a flax hair, dance around with the rapier in her hand. He saw her hair wave about, lightly, dancing to it's own tune. When she finished, she turned to him. He started to approach her. "What a fine display, milady (milady is said in English, remember this is set in Japan, so they speak Japanese mostly)" Umichi spoke in a dignified manner, for the fun of it, offering his hand like before. "Let us continue on." He flashed a smile at her. --- [center][b][i][u]YukiHana[/u][/i][/b][/center] A young girl could be seen running towards the three young men, whom were just about to leave for town, from the direction of some woods. "Tasukate~!!! Onii-san tachi~!!!" She screamed out. Following behind her was a hoard of Little Nepents, numbering to about thirty or so. Now, then, how did this happen? --- At the start, the young girl, YukiHana, had decided on a teenager like avatar. [hider=Avatar][img=http://www.mrwallpaper.com/wallpapers/nidy-2d-anime-girl.jpg][/hider] She mostly used the time she had to get used to moving around, running and jumping. It was fun. Until it became a death game, revealing the little girl's young age. With so many people in fear and unsure what to do, she cowered in fear for most of the first week of the start of the death game. Having luckily found a cheap place to stay, she had no-one who would help her, alone, without her family, without Onee-san nor Onii-san. Finally, she gathered the courage to train herself at night. Initially, she had trouble using sword skills or killing anything or attacking in general. There were a few more enemies available at the dead of night, when she had first trained. After a while, she started being able to use sword skills and was able to get used to the game a little. Being small, her weapon was similar, a small weapon known as a dagger. She had the basic dagger, Simple Dagger. It was weak, and took a few hits to kill enemies, however, she could move agilely. Eventually, she had gotten to be able to deal with a couple of Frenzy Boars or Dire Wolves at once. She was proud of her self. Then one day, YukiHana tried to go further away from the Starting City, the Town of Beginnings. Having found the woods, she had to deal with Little Nepents. Their sheer size in comparison to her was scary, but she pushed on through, courageously. Unfortunately for her though, one of them was a Little Nepent with a fruit. Having finished it off, a hoard of Little Nepents appeared. With that she ran, and the hoard followed. --- Back to the present, the little girl, YukiHana, was rapidly approaching the party of three. At least 30 Little Nepents following her. Looking like a raid party of Little Nepents, standing 1.5m tall.
