"Sanguina, what are you doing?!" Nana yelled as the rest of the guards screamed, "You murderer!"
Sanguina rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, this is bullshit. They attacked me first! You can't seriously be mad at me."
Nana clenched her fists, trying to stay calm. "I don't know what's fully going on yet, so I want to avoid killing them if we can."
Sanguina snapped her fingers in quick succession across her body, causing a series of explosions that ignited the ground between her and the guards. The men stepped back, fear evident in their eyes. One of them plunged his sword into the ground, creating a cloud of smoke that billowed around them.
"Well, yes, I can easily disarm them, but it's about respect and—" Sanguina started, but she was cut off as another guard spun out of the smoke, attempting to slash upwards at her. Sanguina remained still, letting the blade strike her right on the chin. Sparks flew as the blade snapped in half, and the man was thrown back by the force.
