"And if you win, ...I die don't I?" Aegis shrugged, quickly breaking from his casual mood and throwing a wave bullet at the girl's feet. It's not that he didn't want to take her down, he just wanted to send her flying to make sure she was defenceless when he threw more.

"G-Guards!" One of the roundest of the Council shouted, pressing a button underneath his desk like a madman. Unfortunately the Enforcers below were occupied with a certain Crash Mage, who was taking great enjoyment in wrecking the whole lower level.

Another of the Council who didn't look so old and lazy growled defiantly and began trying to hit Ryuji with his finger-shot bullet magic. Another joined in and tried to slash the young Shirahama with their arm engulfed in darkness magic. At least they were putting up a fight.

...Though the majority were still fat useless bastards who had everyone else do their bidding.
