Umichi started to crouch, picking up another pebble. As Light drew his bow, Umichi charged the Single shot again, and threw it in the shadow of the arrow. This is how the boar was finished off in one hit. The bow and arrows weren't enough to kill a boar in one hit, even if it hit a weak point. Umichi knew this, from seeing others in the field. He looked up at Suki who happened to see him do that. He held a finger to his mouth indicating to stay quiet. The pebble was thrown perfectly to be in the shadow of the arrow, so Light should not have seen it no matter what.
"Not a bad shot." Umichi patted on Light's back a little, and took the lead. Looks like a back row archer would be useful, and he seemed to have good accuracy. Umichi started to get excited. He grabbed Suki's hand, and started to rush forward.
"Let's go!" he shouted. He felt like he was leading a party of heroes, the swordsman, the princess and an archer. If only there was a wizard he thought.
Upon entering the forest, he went to catch a glimpse of Suki, remembering her shy smile. Turning back to the front Man she's cute, I should really stop doing things so spontaneously or she might think I'm weird he thought, remembering he grabbed her hand twice on instinct.
At first, there was a pack of four Little Nepents. "I'll aggro three of them, Suki take one, Light, support with your shots." He ordered. Umichi started to think, when did I have such a leading persona? Taking up three Nepents. He can slash them three times to kill them. The arrows would need about five or so, he calculated. The thing with the bow and arrow was that you generally took more attacks to kill the enemy, the advantage was, you could normally attack from afar and the enemy will not reach you before you kill it.
He beautifully sidestepped two, while deflecting the attack of the third, leading into a slash. A semi-circular slash occurred right after, hitting the three. He took almost no damage. This was good. Umichi wanted to pay attention to Suki, but stayed focused. He decided he will use his newly acquired sword skill Vertical Arc hitting all three with two more strikes. He looked up at the corner of his vision, Suki and Light's health bars were healthy, but Suki seemed to have taken some damage. He turned to check Suki and Light. But he didn't realize, above them were two more Little Nepents. Although they were plants, they seemed to have be unrooted and were using their roots like legs, or tentacles. The jumped from the trees towards Suki. He rushed forward, calling out with a yell. "SUKI!!! CALL OUT SWITCH!!!" Running with all his might, reaching the right side of Suki, with his Anneal Blade in front of him to guard against the two Little Nepents attack.
