Ben allowed himself a soft laugh at Lauren's antics (didn't stop him from rolling his eyes, though), but he knew she was right. These Grimm weren't smart enough to do much planning, which meant that if there were any Scavengers left then they couldn't get up over the ice wall. Killing them would be a cinch, but the wall that had kept them safe was now in their way. Still, he couldn't just shoot it. Or cut it. Both would take too long, and expend too much effort (and ammo) removing the obstacle. No, he needed to be more direct. 

With a flick of his finger, he gestured for the rest of his team to cover him while he sheathed Artorius and Lawnslot. Then he started walking up to the wall, cracking his knuckles in an admittedly exaggerated show of preparation. The only real prep work was deciding exactly where to hit it to clear it out. What looked to be the weakest spot. After a few moments he decided on his target. a point about halfway up, and drew back one arm. The sound of his fist striking the wall echoed with a sharp [i]crack[/i], its structure developing deep, irreparable faults. The second punch, delivered with the other hand, shattered the icy barricade into a million tiny pieces that could be kicked aside with ease.

He registered the dip in his Aura reserves, but it wasn't significant enough to worry about. Especially with both batteries left in reserve.

"That good enough for you, Negasi?"
