During the battle with the demon knights and imps, Sagran sat quietly intensely studying every single movement of each member of Naga squad. His eyes never changed. No blinking. Only intense staring. He was curious overall by Naga squad. Unlike most of the others who tried to take the sword, he sensed a great deal of skill and experience. Though, the fear was strong in everyone, Sagran realized that everyone was using the fear as a motivator to keep fighting no matter the odds.
He noted to himself, “The leader in black armor… Very quick. Very strong. Very precise and powerful. Arrogant and tends to banter mid-fight. His skill with the sword and overall athletic prowess is something to account for. He shows very little weakness or bad habits when fighting… Hmm. Ah! There’s a half-second of hesitation before he makes a feint cross followed by a slash. He even slows down when being forced to fight without his sword… That’ll be his weakness.”
Sagran shifted his head towards Gil and Remi. He noted, “The lizard is a technical fighter prone to anger. However, he will tear you to pieces regardless of what happens to him. I need to anger him more in order to hurt him little by little. Death by a thousand cuts… The hulking orc though… All heart and muscle, no strategy. However, his natural instincts in fighting are something to account for. All orc warriors are like this. I wonder if he is also prone to going berserk? Need to dodge his attacks and use speed to slow him down. The knees and armpits… That’ll do it.”

Sagran’s eyes shifted to the left noticing a bunch of arrows being fired. He then noticed Clara flying across rooftops killing imps with ease. Sagran said to himself, “Her accuracy and natural athletic ability are a problem. She appears to be a decent fighter outside of range weapons. If I can find a way to bottleneck her into a spot where she can’t run, then I can easily take her out… However, her accuracy will cause issues. She will find my weak points in the armor… Need to blind her as well.”
Lastly, Sagran noticed Ren effortlessly killing demon knights as if they were nothing to her. Sagran said, “She is the biggest problem… She is clearly the best fighter and most experienced with fighting demons head on. Her skill is unmatched and about as good as mine. Her speed, power, and technique are near perfect. She has yet to lose her cool… Hmm? Those eyes. Violet… She is from Odai. So is the black armored leader. Ah, yes… Violet eyes are a trademark of that one clan from the Kenji Clan. Explains her demeanor. There is about a 0.4 second delay when she makes a slash. I have to match her speed in order to land a blow… Going to be a lot of underhanded tactics on her… She will be a challenge… Yet… Is she holding herself back? I don’t see fatigue or wasted energy? She’s not even trying… This is a feeling I haven’t felt since… Huh… So that’s what it feels like?”
