While Tsutomu was getting up from the ground, he was still observing his current surroundings and trying to get his gag off. Immediately, the boy with the white hair shot something from the hip, like a gun-slinger in an old western movie. Tsutomu easily saw this coming. His reactions however, were a slightly different story. Seeing the bullet coming in, and not being able to tell what it was sent Tsutomu on the highest level of alertness. Using his fastest reactions, he dodged out of the way by rolling to his right side, closer towards where Tarou was. At first, it seemed as if Tsutomu wasn't hit at all, but upon closer inspection of his left thigh they could see a grazed wound where the bullet had nearly drilled a hole through his whole thigh.

But before they could even settle on that fact and its implications, Tsutomu was already on the move. Magi tried to run around Tarou to get behind Tsutomu. With her running away and behind Tsutomu, she set herself apart from the pack. The Man-Eater quickly whipped and lunged towards Magi who had no weapon or anything on her, just a simple cloak to try and blend in with the rocks around her. It did her no favors, especially as she was running while doing it. Tsutomu's right hand reached for her open neck while he kept his left hand open and free. He was literally four times faster than her, and her reactions were more than six times slower than Tsutomu's. It was highly unlikely she could do anything, much less react to the incoming attack, but there were stranger things that had occurred.

If the attack landed, then Tsutomu would wrap his arms around Magi's head while getting behind her. She'd have a hard time breathing as he started to twist her head. He was laughing through his gag, cackling like a jester. He had already gotten his hands on his first kill, and the fight had been going on for less than seconds. Tarou and Yumoto had to do something immediately, or else their teammate would die on their hands.

Ieyasu watched with keen interest.
