oki, I believed that assassin dude where supposed to be the experienced one, then he get surprised by a stomp, as the experienced one he should have been the one to do that, not even learned basic street fighting is a low one.
Well, the antagonist mistake is that he attack the other hunter.. if I were him.. I should have paralyzed those convicts and let the monster handled the killing.. and made some story that those convicts attack him first but surprised by monsters ending them.
