As the small heads screeched, the topmost one, which had remained silent quite a while, finally moved its jaw very slightly.

One of the roots protecting the Dioanea lunged out and caught itself on fire from Violet's fire arrow. It twitched as it lowered, rolled and doused itself in the shallow body of water beneath it. As the Dionaea took its time to douse the fire out, another root quickly blocked the head before rolling around in the water beneath it. The fire did spread across the root, but none of them ever spread to the stem itself. It was clear that it still did not like fire, however, which was evident in how it threw out about five roots at Violet's direction after it was hit.

The Grimm's topmost head clapped its jaws softly once.

It then clapped its jaws violently a single time at Robert’s direction.

Pulling one of the three roots it used for each student, the roots it pulled back raised themselves straight at Robert’s direction. It then launched themselves at him, each of them covering almost all options for dodging them. They moved in arcs, as the Grimm was aware that it should not cluster up its weapons against foes who could penetrate its attacks. The roots intended on battering Robert against one of the walls, though it was not aware of how the walls were safely padded for the students’ safety.

It continued to keep several of its roots on-guard, though if one were to take a peek the split moment it raised the roots it sent at Robert’s direction, he or she would find a faint orange glow at the bottom of the stem, mostly hidden within the roots. Some would conclude it was a weakpoint of some sort, while others would not pay it too much attention.

Some of the thinner roots guarding the Dionaea, however, steadily made their way towards Bianca and Ashe’s ways. Four thin roots respectively moved towards the two students specifically. Attacking the thin roots before they reached their targets would have them simply dodge the attacks, though once they reach their targets, they would remain still for a split moment before attempting to wrap the students by their waists.

Everyone seemed to be doing well. She was particularly surprised by the potential strength behind Bianca’s attacks, being able to tear through some of the roots like butter. Something about the way Bianca and Ben were talking to each other felt odd to her.

It sounded like they were in a competition.

As for what they were competing for, she did not know.

But they seemed to be having fun. She didn’t doubt that Bianca would be a friendly person, but it was still a more pleasant sight than the lumbering Grimm next to them-

Ducking, Sangue narrowly dodged a root that swung right above her. Putting strength into her prosthetic, the redhead punched the root above her, detracting its direction away from Ben. As she straightened herself, she found several roots making their way towards Bianca.

Pointing at the thin roots floating their way towards the Faunus with her prosthetic arm, Sangue’s grip on her blade tightened.

“[color=f7976a]…Bianca,[/color]” she spoke, a little louder than usual to catch Bianca’s attention. She then continued to stick close to Ben, as he provided a very solid defense for her. Each time Sangue struck, her strikes dug deeper and deeper through the roots.

It felt easier to stab the root and tear at it rather than attempting to slice it from the get-go.
