## Summary

Chapter 13 begins with Rudo and the Janitors encountering the Vandals. Griss mentions that all the Vandals are also givers. He then commands the other supporter janitors spitting the team to find an escape route and escort Rudo. Zanka is left to deal with the Vandals as Rudo and Griss escape. Rudo says he could fight them but Griss tells him that they are stronger than the kidnappers he encountered before.

Zanka says to the Vandal that their goal is very obvious and that he knew it was only a matter of time before they found out about Rudo. He mentions that they could probably get a good price for him but the Vandal says that they do not plan to sell him. The Vandal explains that they wish to learn more about Heaven and ask how Rudo could've crossed the “border” alive. Zanka seems confused by the word border. He then says that the request was just a trap to lure in Rudo and asks if there actually were any Aberrand Beast to which the Vandal says no. However, they do have clay dolls that begin to grow out of the ground.

Zanka puts together that the lady who led them there was a clay doll created by the Vandal’s ability. He then says that it's easy to get rid of something soft like clay but the Vandal warns that there is a real person among them as another one of the Vandals jumps at him landing a hit. One of the vandals says that Zanka is letting his guard down because he is used to dealing with larger targets not human sized ones. The clay dolls begin to sprint around Zanka as the Vandal says that he has to guess where the real one is. Zanka swings at a few of them missing the real one as they hit him from behind. Zanka attempts to counter but the ground begins to turn soft as the Vandal says that they made the ground into mus beforehand causing Zanka to get stuck if he moves too much.

The Clay vandal says that if they immobilize Zanka it will be their victory since he seems to be the only one that can fight. Zanka, annoyed, says that he’s got the hang of their abilities now revealing that the woman uses a shovel jinki to manipulate mud and the man uses snowshoes to not sink while he attacks. The vandals get angry and say that his situation won't get easier.

Zanka says that he doesn't have much experience fighting humans but he is someone who knows his Jinki very well. He lists all the aspects of his jinki that he’s perfected and memorized like the weight and how to swing it. He then stabs the jinki into the ground causing a shockwave that allows him to sense the inside of the clay dolls and find the real person within them. Upon spotting them, He swiftly attacks both of them finishing them off in one swipe.

After the attack, Zanka says that they were stubborn so they’re going down with a punch. As he says that, a cloaked figure appears behind him and says “Then, so are you!”.
