The mission:

Tadara had noted that this section of the hallway was not really patrolled. Instead there was a single guard in heavy armor at the end of the hall. Almost like a lure to catch him. He figured he was being monitored at some point but this was simply too simple in comparison to the numbers before. Granted the heavy armor would prevent his lighter attacks from getting through. However he wasn't at a total loss for what to do. Still he would note that the hall had a number of traps. Ahh so that was the plan here. The heavy armor would negate light attacks meaning that there were likely poison needles through out. If he set it off or revealed himself the heavy armor would let the opponent engage him amidst all the traps while he remained vulnerable. However he saw through it before it began. Giving him time to study it and figure out the best path. He would need to get over to where the heavy armor knight was by the look of it to be free of the traps. The floor and walls were littered with them. Likely a multidirectional trap. Well there was little to do besides get to it.

Tadara would hit some pressure points in his legs. Boosting his speed from B to A. The chances were the reaction time of the heavy armor target and the speed of the projectiles were inferior to that speed. In truth that meant there was a simple solution to the issue. Tadara would round the corner and burst in a straight line. Keeping his attention peeled as he moved full speed down the hall. The knight barely reacting before he had cleared most of the hall. The traps setting off in his wake but not before he was already out of their path of fire. Once the knight drew their sword he would bypass the first swing with his A rank coordination. Taking a knife from the knight he would continue to dodge his slow attacks while systematically severing the straps to the armor. It wasn't like a second skin after all. Soon enough all the armor would fall to the ground for the upper torso. It was enough that he would drop low and jam it into the targets left ankle. Taking away his balance before a calculated shove would push the exposed knight into the traps. Soon he would disperse from being littered with needles. And Tadara would collect another tag.
