His response was moreso to Cian, and less to Jack. Granted, an ambush implied lower numbers and had far less of a chance of taking them down in a battle of attrition, but on the flipside of things, continuous waves tended to lack the surprise factor that an ambush did. And as every prospective martial artist learned—

Thusly, he wasn't so sure of an ambush being the preferable choice.

However at the end of things, there was no one way that would immediately absolve them of risk, and it'd be stupid of any of them to try and look for one during an S-Rank Mission. And while Luke held no delusions of his unimpressive intelligence being terribly far above any average metric in a developed nation, he still had enough savvy to recognize a fool's errand when the concept of it stared him in the face.

[b]"So, I'll head out first, then."[/b]

He said it as if it were already agreed upon.

[b]"I've got the most survivability out of all of us with my semblance, and if something jumps out at me either of you guys can pick it off from back here."[/b]

Actually...

No, nevermind. Asking Cian for another barrier would likely distract her from a quick response time with Byakko, which would be crucial if he did end up springing a trap after all. Better to not.

[b]"Sound like a plan to you guys? It should spring any traps we'd need to worry about."[/b]
