<br/>​</div>Shiro glanced back in time to see the red-headed girl with the impressive looking sword walk up and greet them. "Ah, excellent. Now we should only have to wait for one mo-" The word died in his throat as he looked up to see the orbs of light combine in the center of the room. They hadn't done that with two students in the room, but now with three, they had fused together. Distantly, he was only half aware of the boy with the gauntlets letting him know of their specialties in ranged combat. All of his focus was on the, now singular, globe of light. In his mind, he could only think of one possible reason why the orbs' behavior might suddenly change like that. The room had reached its predetermined cap.<br/><br/>"Oh...<i>shit</i>." He cursed quietly. He was already in a defensive position when the doors began to rumble open and the Grimm Wolves stepped in. He was about to call out battle strategies (such as time would allow) when suddenly the boy with the gauntlets beat him to it.<br/><br/>"Ok, no time for plans. We're outnumbered and I don't think we want to take on two each, so try not to get separated and stick together. Red, you can use that sword, right? Take point, but don't get too far from the formation. Glasses, uh.." It took Shiro a solid two seconds to realize the boy was referring to<i>him. </i>"I'll try to restrict their movements and provide ranged support. You...do your thing." They said.<br/><br/>Had there been more time, and slightly more favorable circumstances, Shiro would have been incensed by the notion of someone besides himself giving orders, let alone being called<i>glasses</i>.<i>'You forgot to introduce yourself again.'</i>He reminded himself.<i>'Idiot.' </i>Still, their assessment of the situation was sound. The enemy out numbered them and now had them surrounded. They would need to stick together and fight smart. He gave a nod to the auburn haired boy and turned to face the two wolves stalking his way. One seemed to be from the same stock as the rest circling them, but the other was a bit larger and had something hanging from around it's neck, a key on a silver chain. The obvious answer was that it went to the door, but the skeptic in him demanded more data, and the cynic warned it could be a trick. They'd have to find out afterwards. For now, there were more pressing concerns.<br/><br/>Reaching into his jacket, he withdrew his pocket watch and chain,<i>Second Chance</i>, clicking it open and looking at the time even as the beasts charged them. "This shouldn't take long..." he remarked, seemingly half bored. In a sudden flurry of movement the watch was flung and there was a strange distorted noise of chain unreeling, but never really<i>ending. </i>The watch and chain streaked through the closing gap and with a hard pull to the left on Shiro's end the time piece whipped around the lesser Grimm's back leg, and then front legs, then reeled tight. The size of the creature should have put more strain on the links than Second Chance could bear, but instead the next stride the wolf took suddenly propelled its head into the ground using all of the power of the creature's own momentum and the strength of its own back leg to pull it's bound feet out from under it. As the beast tumbled, it served to act as a obstacle to the larger one. The entire event took less than two seconds.<br/><br/>Shiro glanced over his shoulder, noticing the heat before anything else. Apparently the boy with the gauntlets was actually the boy with a fiery black metal orb, and whatever the methods were for him controlling it (Shiro only had theories) the results were impressive! He gave a quiet, "Hm." pressing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. In his own way, it was a sign of approval. His attention then returned to the two Grimm in front of him. His trick only stalled them, and his mind was already calculating further actions, but in principle he was counting on his team to assist with the largest of the wolves. In the interim, he would buy them the one thing he happened to excel at:<br/><br/><i>Time</i>.
