Meirin, Ssarak, and a few others they picked up along the way ran towards the Dinning Hall. There was still heavy fighting from the demons, but with some teamwork and the element of surprise, they were able to get past them relatively quickly. Getting into the Dinning Hall was a bit more of a challenge; it seems like most if not all the demons in the college was trying to get inside. There was hardly any room for the demons to get through, let alone for Meirin and the others. And she didn't want to risk breaking another wall down just to get inside. She was about to suggest finding somewhere else to go when something really odd happened; suddenly the demons at the dinning hall began to kill themselves. It was surprising, but also beneficial. Now they had a small window to get inside before the demons would resume their attack. [b]"Let's go! We won't have another chance!"[/b] Meirin led the others to inside the Dinning Hall. A few demons were already coming back to resume their attack, but Meirin was ready for them. She threw a few knives in their direction, causing them to flinch or stop to block them. She didn't care if they didn't do any harm; they were just distractions. [b]"Go. Go! I'll hold them off for now!"[/b]

The demons were already coming back in, even after hundreds of them just killed themselves out of the blue. Either they were fearless or foolish, but she would expect nothing else from them. Meirin stood ready for them, and when they attacked, she struck the first blow. One demon armed with a savage looking spear lunged at her, but hit only the ground. She jumped over the weapon and kicked the demon right on the snout, and than stomped both her feet onto the spear shaft, breaking it in half. Another demon was coming with a large club, but before he had a chance to raise it up Meirin slashed with her hook swords, and cut off the demon's fingers. She sidestepped away from the falling club and slashed away at the demon. It took many blows, as the demon's hide was tough, but she wasn't about to let off. She didn't know how many times she had to slash the demon, but by the time it was dead her hook swords were broken, and she had to finish the job with it's spiked hilt. She tossed the broken weapons away and took out her three-section staff; hopefully bashing them in the head would be easier than trying to cut through their skin. By now the others should have gotten through though, and with a few more demons en route Meirin decided it would be a good time to try to defend the Dinning Hall from inside. She turned around and made a break for it, getting away just before the next wave of demons hit.
