The smaller heads of the Dionaea hissed in a shrieking manner, clapping their mouths in discord as its roots continued to attack the students. Some of the roots were damaged enough to the point where they fell off, though some students may find that the roots were stronger to pierce through than anticipated. Evidently, simply expecting firearms or weapons to immediately chop the roots off would disappoint some.

It was a Reisen-class Grimm for a reason. They were only a tier below the strongest of Grimm, and despite looking fragile, the Dionaea was far from it.

Few of its roots fell off in the end, and it continued to relentlessly attack the students. The attacking pattern suddenly randomized itself, however, and soon it ended up using three of each of its tendrils to attack the students rather than just two. It continued to have unused roots slithering nearby, though they raised themselves intimidatingly as if they were prepared to stab at anyone who came too close. The roots weren’t sharp, but they were still strong enough to smack away those who got close on their own.

If one decided to stand their ground like a fortress, some of the roots would simply attempt to slither and wrap themselves around their legs before flinging them across the room. Students would have to cooperate to prevent the roots from flinging their classmates around.

Although its smaller heads continued to shriek, the largest head remained dead silent, simply watching the students as it swayed now and then, pointed at their direction despite having no eyes. At some point, however, its primary head began to stare directly at the following students:

The largest head did nothing in particular yet. It simply glanced between the three continuously as the smaller heads and roots continued to focus on pretty much everything around them.

Sangue slashed in a perfect arc above her, yet again pushing away a root. She focused on protecting Ben, who was doing more than enough to protect the people behind him. Her gaze remained sharp as she saw a root make a stabbing motion at her direction.

Jerking her body away from the root at the last second, she leapt over the root, slashing at a downward arc with her blade. This time, she managed to make a well-coordinated attack, and her katana sunk through the root deeper than before. Just before the root retreated, she took a deep breath as the wound she had landed on one of the Dionaea’s roots slithered near her.

Her grip on her katana tightening, she slashed mercilessly through the root, finally ridding the Grimm of one of its many tendrils. The Grimm still had plenty more, but she still managed to cut down its number of potential weapons by a small amount.

She quickly stuck to Ben as she swung her weapon at whatever that came close to his right side. He was pushing forward for them- and he needed the students nearby him to cover for him from the roots that attempted to sweep him off his feet. She began to move more strenuously as soon as the Dionaea began sending three roots at each student.
