Shu was pretty good at holding onto strange materials and the moment the creature reared back again he was glad in that ability. The hairs were smooth and thick, anybody with standard grip would simply slide off and be unable to grasp hold for very long even if they tried. Pulling hard on the creature he managed to help Viral out of the creature’s hold, saving him any injury but now finding that he was the target as it swung around and bounced a bit to try and get rid of him. He still didn’t know why Takeshi wasn’t jumping into this battle, this was the perfect opportunity to practice fighting together yet he wasn’t bothering to move. Trying to focus on where he was going he had to jump off when things were getting a little risky, avoiding the tree before having a bounce around the creature. Staring up at it he raised his arms when it hissed, jumping from one foot to the other before gasping when a rock knocked the creature off course. He didn’t really understand what Takeshi was trying to do, but it certainly wasn’t correct since it simply meant the creature would want to kill him instead. Viral thought he was in trouble when Takeshi wouldn’t bother move himself, but instead Shu alone managed to get the creature off him when he was about to get gnashed at. Getting off the ground once Shu had taken over he gave Takeshi a disappointed look, unsheathing his blade and getting ready to cut this thing up. Shu was handling it pretty well, but that was a given considering his fighting technique. Deciding on being back up he stood ready to assist Shu, but soon enough Takeshi had become reckless again all while showing very little desire to actually try and kill the creature. Running at the creature when it moved to attack Takeshi but was cut short when Shu instead jumped in with a flying double-kick to the creature’s head to push it away, coming in strong and fast to catch the creature off-guard. Shu was definitely helping more than Takeshi could ever do and with Shu’s actions he rushed at the creature as well, slashing his weapon down at the creature to try and slice its head off.
