[ Too cocky is his middle name.. sure, Shinpachi's a realistic fighter through and through. He won't run into a situation he knows he just can't win if there's a way to just.. not do that instead. But even if these elves might be enough to at least pose some sort of threat, he doesn't think this is the kind of thing he'll lose to.
Especially not while there's another skilled fighter at his back. No way.
But he'll take the break from scolding as a moment to do something about some of the elves as well, trying to take care of the ones with the longest weapons the first - thankfully he's had a lot of experience in fighting against people with spear-like weapons due to all his sparring with Sano, and it means taking out the threat that could get to them the easiest.
After all, he can't let anything get past him and get to Sousei instead that isn't on his half to begin with.. it's not just a friend's back at stake here, but also his pride as a warrior.
But that only makes him fight harder to make sure that doesn't happen, taking down elf after elf. ]
