Hearing the wolf faunus speak had taken Liserian by surprise. He assumed the mask was just an aesthetic. The sound of her breathing made him want to look after her; at least until she was safe in Haven Academy. The other two girls seemed capable of escorting her, but if anything were to happen, he could bet none of them knew anything about medical procedures. His gaze shifts to the armored clad. He couldn’t tell if they were male or female. Not that it mattered, but he could at least address them properly. The other one, he had no time to get an opinion of as a couple of Beowolves charged in for an attack. The armored lad was quick to handle them showing their mighty strength. It was probably all of that armor giving them confidence. Then again, they just tore a Beowolf in half with their bare hands. Impressive. He definitely did not want to cross her in the future.
Just when the coast was clear, the unexpected happened. A King Taijitu slithered straight towards his teammate. Seeing such a creature had him grip his rifle as a precaution. The knight was impressive holding their ground like some sort of berserker. When she was tossed into the air and ready to be swallowed, they acted and eluded the Taijitu’s attempt. The knight was safe, but they were not pleased. No, whatever is going on behind the helmet is a murderous intent. Their rage could be felt as they cried out while lunging straight for the Taijitu. He knew for sure the snake was going to be a goner under their rage, but she would need help despite the warning.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, a bird grimm made an appearance right after one of the girls retorted to the knight. He could tell those two are bound to bash heads. The hot-tempered girl shot at the large bird which meant now they were caught between a rock and a hard place. More bad luck came when he heard growls approaching and the rustling of shrubs all around them. Liserian used his semblance to read his surroundings. He can see vague blotches of red approaching. A hoard of them peering through the clearing rows of the forest. He whistled, ”Seems we’re about to have a welcoming party.” He arms himself and starts sniping down some beowolves as they are a much easier target compared to boartusks.
When the wolf faunus asked him to follow, he couldn’t decline as she had used the magic word. Aside from that, he felt a strange authority atmosphere coming from the girl despite her frail appearance. ”Sure thing, boss lady.” Someone had to keep an eye on her. Though he knew not to underestimate her as she had taken down a boartusk’s ivory tusk which meant she could handle herself. By the looks of it, all of them could. As he followed, he noticed the hot-headed girl was actually a cool leopard faunus. Her bandana had been torn and her tail let loose. Well now, that is a rarity to see such a rare faunus. Maybe he was confusing it with something else. Probably. At least he can now call her what she really is. A kitty named, Spots. That would make the armored one, Knight, and of course, the girl he was trailing Boss Lady.
Liserian understood the objective. To survive and escape the forest, but with an infestation of Grimm, something was causing them to be lured here. First the lancers and Alphas? Something was fishy and he did not want to be part of whatever was going on. He has important matters to deal with that don’t involve being a Huntsman. ”I just wanted to see the damn library.” He grumbled before his focus was on King Taijitu. Whatever Boss Lady had planned, it involved the snake. Did she have a deathwish or a plan? He couldn’t tell. All of the women showed signs of insanity in his opinion, but he wasn’t going to dictate them. ”Bullets won’t have much effect on them. If I remember correctly, blades and something volatile do the trick.” Taijitu’s scales were just as tough as the boartusk’s hide. Their stature gives them an edge, however, the bigger they are the harder they fall they say. Liserian switched to his scythe and made sure to keep out of the Knight’s line of fire. Though in the back of his head, he was concerned for the underlings that could jump in at any minute with how much they might attract fighting off Grimm.
Liserian shot himself off the ground and spun his scythe at the snake. There was not enough momentum to behead them. Maybe from a higher ground? After his failed attempt the wolf faunus took care of the black-headed snake and then took her place above the trees. What for? He didn’t know, but as he distracted the snake with another slash piercing through just a little and keeping a tight grip as the snake tried to shake him off, his attention was drawn to the flock of birds attacking the wolf faunus. Liserian began to wonder what to do in this situation. Everyone is focused on something and he was honestly support. The plum-haired teen groans, ”Screw it.” This was not survival to the fittest. He could not allow lives at stake to perish. That would a shitty first day of school.
”Damn it, gramps, what the hell did you get me into?”
Liserian removed his blade and retreated it a rifle. From the head of the Taijitu, he starts sniping the birds away with precision as best as he can. He slid off of the snake just in time and did a backflip to dodge the black head’s bite. His left arm was cut in the process, but it wasn’t deep enough to cause a problem. If anything a graze. ”Need a hand or ya got it?” He called out to Shin’ya.
