Not so safe (Mission, Taishi)

It would seem as though the thug's reaction time beat Ryal's speed yet given the position of the arrow, being too low for a headshot and too high to have been aimed at the heart, it was obvious that Ringo's action had startled the man. It would've sucked if it had been one of his accomplices that opened the door unless of course they also knew a rebound jutsu they could use without hand seals. Naturally, Taishi was next down the stairs and rather hot on Ryal's tail, had the man done some extra training in secret? Once the brute touched the basement floor he looked up to the opposing criminals with a grin, Ryal didn't know what he was planning but the look on his partner's face said that it would be good. Therefore in this situation, a little hesitation was ok especially since it meant that Ryal didn't need to use anymore chakra. So while he was still holding the seal of confrontation, in case Taishi's jutsu didn't care of all the enemies, Ringo waited to see what the earth user would do. The Shinkou was impressed that the grey-ish man was able to take care of each foe simultaneously, Ringo's face had an "ooh" expression at the bloody display. Ishi-san would even go on to open the safe for them, Ringo shook his pink locks, looks like the brute wanted to shine too.

Taishi was right, this was way too easy. Luckily Ryal didn't need to be told twice and with the formation of two seals, the rat followed by the dog, a dimensional rip would appear in front of Ringo and both of his arms would dump all the ryo they came in contact with into the tear. As the two original members stocked up Levi would take a moment to talk to Ikki, who was presumably practicing the wolf rules of eating, assuring him that he should and could take a cut without fear of punishment. Once the white haired kid had joined in the pilfering and filled his pockets to the brim the group would leave. They didn't go anywhere special or anywhere far for that matter yet they were safe for now and didn't have to worry about people coming after them since everyone was dead thus unable to give their descriptions to reinforcements. After catching their breath it was the kidnapee new member who'd break the silence, you could hear it in his voice and see it in the goofy smile on his face. The successful ambush and escape had him on a high, suggesting that they just go get a drink might put a damper on that so Ringo would wait to see what his partner had in mind. He wasn't opposed to sparring to burn off the extra energy though it would be slightly embarrassing if they were spirited away during a match, it would also give Alice the wrong idea.

Claiming: 2,000 ryo; 10 ap; Hungering Shadow

Taishi would make his way out of the area with the others, his pockets lined with his new found wealth. The money would go a long way towards making sure that he had a proper meal and some decent downtime later, but for now his focus was to get out of dodge and avoid any unwanted attention from those that want their money back.
 
Levi seemed thrilled, the adrenaline of the mission and high of success likely coursing through him. What was next? Well, Taishi was fond of going and spending his money at the tavern. A hot meal, strong drink, and cozy bed were three things the brute would never tire of, but the new guy was only able to show off a little bit of what he could do. Was that mostly Taishi’s fault? Yes, yes it was. He would just shake his head at his own mistake and offer a suggestion as to what was next.
 
“Still gotta see what you are made of,” he would say to Levi, before turning to Ryal. “You wanna put him through the paces, ‘R’?” Taishi would ask, his curiosity twofold since he also wanted to see what his partner Ryal was capable of considering the ease he had avoiding that bolt earlier. Depending on what his partner said would determine what exactly they did next.
