Lucrecia walked along the outside path with her fellow maids, doing her part in escorting their new demon comrade. Their walk up until a point went uneventful. That was, until, their peaceful trek was broken by a gunshot. Much like Polina, Lucrecia took a combat stance upon instant reaction. Judging by the point of impact and the angle from which the bullet came, Lucrecia quickly deduced that it was a warning shot and came from above them. If the sniper were truly serious, the demon would've been left with more than just a bruised cheek. Fired by their ill-tempted instructor from a high watchtower, Myrilla quickly jumped down and made a b-line toward the scale demon girl, her sword's steel glistening in the early sunlight. 

Eliz, naturally angered by this sudden attack, met Myrilla in kind and brandished her claws to meet their instructor's blade. As they clashed, Myrilla used her free hand to shoot Eliz's chin, then pulled back her blade to make a slash at the demon's neck. An impressive motion, as to be expected from their combat teacher. Eliz would respond by throwing a stone she'd clawed up from the earth as distraction, as she attempted to hit Myrilla in her blind spot. During the whole ordeal, Polina decided not to interject and instead opted to dine on some more pastries she had stored in her pouch. Seem offered everyone else around some as well, though all Lucrecia could do was sigh.

Pulling out a pistol with speed that almost matched Myrilla's, Lucrecia fired a shot at the stone she threw at Myrilla, caused a cloud of dust to come up. With this distraction, she'd use one of her machetes to block the instructor's slash and the other to parry the attack that Eliz had planned in retaliation. 

Lucrecia was ordered by Lady Livia to keep Eliz out of any trouble and she'd do just that. Even if that trouble came from another superior...
