This fight was therapeutic. This was all he needed. He cared not for being outnumbered. He lived for this. As he was fighting the ruffians, some have tried to get him from behind, but the Guildmasters exceed which was in human form had helped him avoid any unpleasantries, granted he didnt need that. He didnt feel he needed that. But it was a welcome gesture.
During some point, the guildmater himself also joined in on the brawl. He decided to battle with certain gauntlets he had. They seemed special enough, Tamas knew there was some special ability and quirk to them, but he did not know what exactly. But then again for all he knew, the gauntlets nerfed him so he doesnt kill these people. Tamas wouldnt be surprised.
He would proceed to fight the people and knock them out one by one. Some by forcefully punching their lights out. Others by putting them in a sleeper hold and then just dropping them when they're knocked out. All in all, he was holding himself up decently. Its just he was more profecient with a weapon. He considered himself so, a lot more than being bare handed.
Tamas would glance back to his guildmaster and saw that he was having fun as well. Seems he too enjoyed a good fight just like him. But he wondered then why go through all this peaceful mess and not do what one wishes to do?
As he fought, he wondered how many of these ruffians were there. Were there more than what he had initially saw? He didnt really think it mattered, but it was just a sort of a unique observation. Maybe it was just him though, trying to prolong the battle. He didnt want this to end as the fight was the best part of a quest. If its over too soon, they would have to stop. Maybe thats why Yuurei joined him in this fight, so Tamas wouldnt try and make it last. Because Tamas knew he could handle some simple ruffians, but he couldnt handle that a good fight had an end.
Winning fights was bittersweet. Yes, he won. But the battle would be over.
Tamas decided that perhaps he should stop trying to delay the inevitable. He needed to hurry up and knock out the final few foes. Better than he gets the final few hits rather than Yuurei. Tamas would eventually drop the guy he was holding once he saw he'd knock him out with a good punch to the face. He did notice his gauntlets which were bloody. It was always something else when seeing blood against cold metal.
He would turn once more to the guild master to see if he had more foes to 'finish' off before getting the medicine or whatever they came for
