Sam caught the knife out of midair, sheathing it, then running at Ayl. He probably already hit Hatsu, but it was worth a shot. If he could at least give Hatsu a chance to hit their purple-haired instructor...well, she didn't know exactly what he'd do if they managed to land a blow on him. She shook the thoughts away,  focusing on combat. The redhead pushed herself off the ground as hard as she could, sending her careening head-first at Ayl.<span style="font-style: italic">This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever done,</span>she thought. Oh well. Maybe someone else would nut up and help. A couple of the newer hunters stepped forward, looking ready to attack, though they didn't do anything. Calling out insults briefly crossed Sam's mind, but she decided to stay quiet and focus, seeing as she was about to headbutt something with a lot of force.
